I have the following bag this season:

Mizuno MP-001 10.5 degree
2005 Callaway BB 3 wood
TM Rescue Mid 19 degree
Mizuno MX-15 #4I - SW
Odyssey 2 ball DFX

Cant decide whether I need a 5 wood in this lot or not, cant seem to get consistency off the tight cut Carnoustie fairways with the Rescue club, can anyone help.

I don't use a 5 wood anymore.
I never could hit it the way I wanted to.
I just got a 2 hybrid
Hoping it will do the job

Nope. You don't need one. Just might be that burning urge to buy a new club... haha... We all get that. But your current set up looks just fine.

The hybrid club you mention should be very easy to hit from a variety of lies, including tight lies. Might I suggest, respectfully, that you examine the swing you're putting on your hybrid. After all, their design enables them to be so useful and if you learn to use that club well, you can save the money you would otherwise spend on a club you may actually find more difficult to hit from a tight lie.

Shortgame that is the best advice I could probably ever hear, I too think the reason I struggle with the club is because of my execution. I have been told my swing is very nice, but its just the finer points that need tweaking, like maybe turning the hands over or squaring the clubface up. I will refrain from making any further purchases and try to learn with what I've got.

      I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.

      I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
