What is your old "go to" club for confidence and consistency?  Mine has been my 22* 4H lately.  Its seems to work out well from the tee to the rough no matter how poorly I may hitting everything else in my bag.  How about you guys?

I seem to always grab the 6 iron when the ball is not where it's supposed to be. The others just seem to make things worse.

Same!

Everytime I am in a bad situation (weird lie, ball way up/down from my feet, etc...) I go for my 6 iron (or lower if I am close to the green). I prefer to lay up being confident I'll hit my shot with my 6 iron then trying to go for the green and not being confident about it.

It might be because everytime I practice, I do my warm-up with my 6 iron, so the 6 iron is the club I hit the most at the range.

I don't really have one.  I guess it depends on the situation.  Or maybe because I hit all of my clubs bad equally...

My Mizzy 5 iron is rock solid.    Launches high and surprisingly long - def my go to layup club.

Somewhat in the same boat.  While there are clubs that I hit more consistently than others, none are so consistent that I can guarantee a good shot.  That is why I tend to just hit driver from the tee.  It is so much more satisfying to hit a driver O.B. than to hit a hybrid or iron O.B.

4h and 56*. My 56* is money off the tee and if I'm in close I can always count on topping my hybrid a consistent 15 yards. :-P

What day of the week is it? I find that when I start hitting a club well, I subconsciously get greedy for distance, then start hitting it badly again. I was hitting my three wood off the deck farther than my driver off the tee, which didn't worry me too much, because I figured I just needed to adjust the launch angle of my drives somehow, but then, insidiously, overswinging crept into the picture and now I might use my three wood for gardening, because I have so much practice digging with it, or I might start saving the pelts I take out of the fairway with it to redo my lawn....

Whichever club fits the particular shot?

If I'm on the tee, it's usually a driver.  On the green, often times its my putter.  The rest of the shots, it varies between my 3 wood and my lob wedge. :-P

Lol, right. I don't ever get to my ball and think oh no I am 185 out and I can't hit club x so I will use old trusty. It is what it is. Honestly I don't find any clubs more difficult to hit than others. The difference is the severity of the miss.

My old Callaway Warbird 5 Wood, good shots or bad, I knew when playing it when I was at the top of my form or way off. And sometimes hitting balls with it at the range would get my swing groove back in no time.

Golf kept me close to my father during the four years in the 1960's that I worked for him on weekends as his caddy. I didn't play then, but later did start playing once he insisted "it was time". It's been a joy ever since.

Hmm, the longest iron that I feel like I can hit from just about anywhere is a 5.  I'm pretty confident with a driver now a days too.  So either a 5 iron or driver would be my choice I guess.

I was just about to write the same thing.......LOL

I couldn't agree more.   My club choice is based solely on what the shot at hand dictates.

    • Some people learn in different ways. I am a big visual learner. I like to see it, work with it, figure stuff out myself.  If people are upset, odds are they are not going to listen or be in the mental state to learn the facts. It might be something left as an email or meeting on a different day. 
    • Okay, so… what do you want then? The explanations from both Dave and I are accurate. I find that the truth is generally the best explanation. Or, if everyone plays the same tees, just post the course handicap. If they're not dumbbells, give them the info. Educate them a little. They can take it — they're adults.

    • Telling guys who don't carry "official" handicaps, who have never even looked at the USGA website, that the number they see from the league is their "Index" and not really the number of strokes they get for any particular round and instead, it's the number used to calculate the number of strokes they get, it just makes their eyes glaze over and then they complain to me, "that doesn't make any sense." These are not dumbbells either. (Well, some are.) For the most part they run insurance agencies, they're accountants, doctors, lawyers, etc. I'm just trying to come up with the simplest explanation possible.   Maybe I'll just give them the formula and have them figure it out on their own so they know why their "handicap" was what it was on a round just completed and what it will be next week. Either that and just not mention anything about the "Index" and just give them their course handicaps, both for the current round and for the round that follows.
