I've tried a 7 wood a couple times. I use a 21 degree hybrid, which I'd have to take out of the bag to put a 7 wood back in. 7 wood was ok, but hybrid is more consistent and versatile to me. All a matter of personal preference I guess. 

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

I debated a 7-wood a few years ago when I didn't like my hybrid or woods.  A friend of mine had an old one that I borrowed for a round or two.  Instead I went with improving my swing, and I just happen to have a hybrid now, so I guess I never revisited it.  I'm probably replacing my 3-hybrid (and getting a 4-hybrid) before I change woods, so the concept of a 7-wood has to wait a few years for me.

Your course has par two holes? ;-)  

Either way, sounds like the guy in your league did what is needed:  got a club for a desired and useful distance and uses it effectively. 

Haha!  Yeah, I guess my wording actually did say 2-par, THREE holes!  I should have just said the guy hits the 9-wood on the shorter 2 holes.  Pretty sure his 9-wood is a pretty old-school club.  Says he's had it in his bag a long time and it's his best option on the shorter par-3 holes.  Looking back over a number of seasons, he hits those two greens regularly with that club.

Probably top 1-2% for his age in distance. (and handicap)

 

 

 

Not a good 230.

About 25 foot off of the ground. It bounces about 10 times and rolls the last 30 yards.

 

I still hope I can play at that age.

My alternate bag carries D,4,5,7  Ben Hogan Speed Slots along with the set of Hogan Edge irons. I sometimes use them for the heck of it, nostalgia, whatever....  I cannot say I recommend it though.  My gaming set is a bit more modern, GI irons, and two hybrids as I need all the help I can get.

7, 9 and 11 W are all useful clubs as you find it harder to hit the long irons.  Very useful for getting a ball up in the air, out of rough and very useful for older golfers.  Got a couple of older golfers on my home course who hit the 7 to 11 W.  Very practical clubs

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Tour 900 golf ball

Thanks David,

I played a 7 wood (21 degrees) and for fun (because friends made jokes about it) bought a 9 wood (24 degrees). Turned out to be even better and more consistent then the 7 wood. Its my to go club of the tee and of the fairway (or even a fairway bunker) for shots from 160-185 yards. Just gripping it down to hit it shorter. I use this club instead of a 4 iron. Off course you could also take a hybrid, it all depends on what suits you better.

I have a Titleist 910 7 wood in my bag at the moment so easy to get airborne and consistently straight, use it for my second shot on par 5 or a really long par 3 goes about 210-220 won't leave my bag ever I can't hit hybrids for some reason.

Give me a 150 yd par three and my 9 wood comes out of my bag. My ball takes loft and lands on the green like a butterfly with sore feet

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
