Half the irons = best golf ever.

Very sore knee and did not want to carry heavy bag. So i reduced the number of clubs i carried. Driver, 3 metal, 2 hybrids, 6, 8, Pitch and Sand. Also putter. Shot 39 for 9 holes  which is best ever. Did fewer clubs help me? I would say yes. Less indecision the main reason. I accepted what i had and played each shot. One shot stands out. From 160 to steeply elevated green i took the 23* hybrid and blasted it sky high.  Plop- 6 ft to the flag.  Very satisfying

I used to carry only my odd irons because it didn't really matter. I didn't have the control or consistency to need gaps in between them, and it reduced the number of clubs I needed to learn how to hit. And you're right, it makes the bad a few pounds lighter to boot. :-)
