This sounds almost impossible. the rounds will take like 9 hours lol
Good luck, I would probably take a 2 hybrid and try 2 avoid bunkers, as you can chip and pitch and putt with them... You could then take a 8 iron as well..
Driver Titleist 905R 9.5* (Stiff Prolaunch Blue 65g)
Hybrid: PT 585.H 17 * (Stiff titleist 75g shaft)

Hard to give advice when I don't know what kind of course you play. Is that tournament a 2 club + putter or must you choose that as one of your clubs? If this were being done in my home course then I would bring a 4 hybrid and a pitching wedge . The hybrid is a very comfortable club to use and is quite versatile, off the tee box, fairway, rough, or green. And with only 2 clubs, you're going to be around the green, instead of on it, a lot. I picked the pitching over the sand wedge cos' I can get out of bunkers with a PW just fine but the added distance I get off it from the fairway on certain holes makes a difference.

What's in my cart and stand bag:
Driver: C4 9* Stiff
R7 425 9* Stiff
Wood: Redline 15* Regular
Hybrids: Idea 17* and 21* RegularIrons: Idea 5-9, incl PW and SW RegularPutter: Rossa Monza Corza and Rossa Lambeau 2 ball bladeBalls: Any. Find many, lose a few

I would use a 19* hybrid and a six or 8 iron. putting with the hybrid is pretty easy, take a few strokes on the practice green before you start.

i've once tried only 1 club and a putter.anyone got the secret to this format?

I've played in 3 two club tournaments and it's always been two clubs

and a putter. Are you playing 9 or 18 holes? How many are par 3's? If you're in the 2+1 situation, I'd take a 4 Hybrid & PW. If you're in the 1+1 situtaion, I'd take a 7 iron & putter. On Par 5's, you can generally hit the green in 5. Betcha I can par the back 9 with nothing but a 7 iron! The idea is to ALWAYS be on the fairway.

Driver: Sumo2 5900 10.5*
3+ Utility: 3DX Utility 13.5*
Hybrids: 4DX 18.5*
Irons: MP-30 3-PW
Wedges: Vokey SM54.10 & SM60.04Putter: T.P. Mills StudioBall: GamerBag: Warbird Stand

Putter and 7 or 8 makes the most sense if you have to take a putter. Otherwise I would agree with the people that say Hybrid and Wedge.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
