I think hybrid and wedge would be a good combo for me. The question would be which wedge it would be.

KICK THE FLIP!!

In the bag:
:srixon: Z355

:callaway: XR16 3 Wood
:tmade: Aeroburner 19* 3 hybrid

A 5 wood, and a sand wedge. I'd putt with my 5W.  I play a few 3 club tournaments every year. They are a lot of fun. I usually carry a 5I with those two other clubs. Depends a lot on the course make up.

My initial reaction is 2h and a 52 degree wedge - I'm sure I could putt with the 19degree hybrid, and if I have to I can hood a wedge to about a 7iron.

Then again maybe the correct answer is to just hit the 7-iron, it's the only truly safe club in my bag

Depends greatly on the course, but I'm @Jeremie Boop , I'd go with my 4h and maybe a 56*. Definitely would not take a driver as I can't hit it anywhere but off the tee and possible around the green for runners and whatnot. I'd go with FW over driver but I can really spank my 4h and it's way more versatile than a FW. I putt with my 56* and 60* all the time when practicing on the chipping green. Too lazy to go get my putter to putt out. It's not that hard to putt with a wedge, just got to get used to aiming it, you basically want to blade the equator.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I used to do it quite a bit for variety, and the 5 wood/sand wedge was my choice, although I'd blade the wedge for putts up to about 30 feet.  And it's good to have a short club for tricky chips, pitches and bunker shots.

Some good points being made here, I'll change my answer, gotta have a wedge, and I can putt with a 3h, 3h and SW

But can you hit one accurately from 150 yards? ;-)

My original thought was 4 iron and sand wedge, but I think I would actually go with a five iron and a gap wedge.  I would putt with the five iron.

LOL  at the people who don't realise that putting with a wedge is the way to go.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

LOL at people who don't have s55 irons to putt backhanded with.

Putting with a wedge is kind of hard, you have to blade it, I think gripping down on a hybrid would be better, but maybe I'm wrong.

This was supposed to say, "I'm with @Jeremie Boop ". Man, I hate seeing my typos days later. SMH

Totally agree.

I would find the distance control too maddening. Hybrid faces are really hot compared to putters. You'd be surprised at how easy it is to adjust to a wedge for putting. The only trouble I have is aiming it well but if I have to choose between hitting my line and getting my distance I'll take distance control every time. Maybe that's just me though...

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
