I used to carry more but realized those were the only (5)clubs I ever use. Now I leave the others in my garage and just attenuate my swing for each shot... I also sometimes carry a 3 iron.

Well... I play with one Hybrid (22°), two irons(Pitching & 7), my driver & putter. Anything more is complicated. I'm just looking to see what club #s I need to address for labeling and packaging purposes (I'm designing a hybrid club cover that transforms to a beverage Koozie (*patent pending)). The products about done, just some minor details left to address.

Good direction on the ball positioning.. I was wondering what was best there. Sounds like the most common Hybrids would be the 3,4,&5... does this sound about right?

How many types/angles for hybrid clubs are there? and/or - what are the standard one(s), are they labeled 1/3/5, or 15 degree/22 degree, etc?

I leave the clubs uncovered when I play... maybe I'm lazy. I don't really see the point since my clubs are already a bit worn. Is the purpose to keep them shiny new looking, or do minor blemishes really affect the way they hit?

When in play, I always cover my woods and driver but not hybrids or irons (or putter). I keep the hybrids near the woods so that they don't need protection, plus I figure any club that I hit from the rough(hybrid) wouldn't mind an occasional clink with a fellow club.

When I golf, I typically keep my driver covered except to swing, the remaining clubs I take the cover off at the first hole and put back on after 18... is this right or what clubs do most people cover during the whole game? I imagine the irons and hybrids can be left unprotected while playing... thoughts?

Not a "real handicap" because I just want to golf. It's my vacation each time and I don't want to have to figure out the algorithms involved factoring course slope and review of past scorecards. I'm a par to boogie golfer, that's all. Not sure what the $25 your referring to is?

I did a search but couldn't find the above mentioned article myself. I'd be interested in reading the full thing, anyone have the link?

After many practices, I found two beers is ideal for my swing, >3 it goes downhill gradually.

Yeah I figured it's a make the best of it where you are deal. San Diego golfing is great, year-round too.. See this link for a map I came across... http://www.golf.com/courses-and-travel/best-public-golf-courses-us-interactive-map Looks like the South East is another hot spot. Thanks everyone!

Thanks for all the input! The winning link here was - "http://www.csgnetwork.com/golfhcapsingcalc.html", thanks Lihu!

Is there a quick way to calculate my handicap? Doesn't have to be 100% accurate, just a ballpark? Something that doesn't involve saving scorecards, analytics, calculating slope, and all the other bs. Just simple equation? Currently I'm a par-bogey golfer, not sure the number.

We've currently in San Diego, but looking to move elsewhere, possibly Wilmington, NC. I'm wondering how the golfing compares so far as course quality and costs, anyone know a "treasure map" for this? Or thoughts?
