First time playing one club only

I used to play in a tourney every year where after the 18 holes, everyone would throw 5 bucks in the pot and grab one club.  The first hole was a shortish par 5 that has a tee that was probably 100 yards wide and everyone would hit at the same time.  We'd get 75 players all hitting off the first tee.  Try to find your ball

Back in my young and obsessive days, I used to play 18 on a daily basis for the practice.  I'd play a different club each day.  I found a lot of different ways to hit some creative shots.  It really helped my handicap.  After some range practice I would play another 18 with friends in the afternoon. (Like I said, obsessive!)

By the way, I always found the 6i to be the best club for scoring this way.  I still use a 6i, almost exclusively, for chipping around the greens.

As far as bunker play, many bunkers can be chipped out of.  I know that a lot of bunkers have a overhanging lip, but those that don't are easily chipped, or putted out of.

What was your goal by using just one club? I've done something similar (driver only) to  shore up weaknesses with that particular club. 

But here it looks like you just want to simplify. 

I've since modified my driver only routine, making exceptions for putting and sand.

Just wanted to mix up the practice routine a little bit and get more feel for distance control.
