The question is how many shots do you all estimate you would loose compared to a full 14 club set?

Good question. If I had to guess, I'd say at least 5 more strokes than my average. Then again, taking partial swings with more club than normal might not hurt some of us as much.

Who is going to do it and report?

I might give it a try in a month or so. It seems like it would be interested to try. If so, I'll try to record the round with GameGolf.

I could do 5 easily; 4 is a bit harder for me.

I think it would be 21* hybrid, 7 iron, a 50-52* wedge with about 10* bounce, and a putter. I might swap a 3W for the hybrid. I can get 200 +/- out of the hybrid, and on most courses I play, that would be adequate.

If I could have 5, I would add a driver.

3+ Wood that can be used off the tee and fairways for longer holes

6 Iron for mid shots

Pitching wedge for approach

Putter (I don't think I'd be very good at putting with a wood/hybrid as others have said)

No idea why, but this was my immediate reaction to the thread title.

[David in FL]

D, 3h, 6i, PW

Putt with the wedge.

[Rock In Socks]

I tend to do this when the Mrs. is up for hitting the links. She’s relatively new to the game (maybe two dozen range visits and has played 6 rounds of 18 or so). I tee it forward with her to help her out and for pace of play (though it’s never been an issue).

6 iron tee shots and second shots (I like to use her drive for mid range target practice. Plus, makes for better cart golf)

9 iron capable of covering just about everything.

58* around the green.

Putter or 3 iron depending on how I feel that day.

4I, 7I, 52*, putter

I used to play a short par 32 course with a buddy of mine with 7i only every once in a while.  Putting with a 7i costs you serious strokes.  Or at least it costs me!

So I'd bring the putter, driver, 7i, SW.

I'll suffer having to lay up on a couple par 3s – or risk a ridiculous driver bunt and roll – in order to be getting the ball close on the par 4s and 5s with the driver.

[A Gap Wedge]

Hmm.. 5 is not bad but 4 is a challenge on some courses. Here’s a rundown:

4 wood ~220-260 off tee/good for par 5s. I usually stop within 5 ft, unless i try not to. Driver off deck is long, but less control.

7 iron ~160-185 good for long/medium par 4s. Can high cut/stinger draw based on distance.

50* <130 good for short 4s and approach. Also versatile from rough, chipping, and bunkers.

Putter

Driver: 260-220  
5 iron: 180
9 Iron: 140 
LW: 100 an in

Driver, 7 iron, gap wedge, putter - not having a longer iron might hurt on a few holes, but then again, I can lose my 3 wood fairly often, so could be safer...

[zipazoid]

Four putters lol.

The previous posts have pretty much nailed it - a putter & some kind of wedge, obviously. The other two clubs are whatever you're comfortable with hitting long & straight. For me that would be a 3h & probably a 6 iron.

[tehuti]

3w, 5i or 6i, aw, putter. I generally only hit my 3w off the tee, but in this configuration I would probably have to occasionally hit it off the deck from the fairway.

Ben hogan strong 3 wood,  5 iron, 54# Vokey sand wedge and putter.
