At the begining of m golf career (some 60plus years age)I played driver, 2,3,4 woods, 2 to 9 irons, some type of wedge and a putter. Now (when using a cart) at the end of my careeer I play diver, 4, 7 ,9 “woods” , 4,5,6 hybrids, 7,8,9,pw,gw hybrid irons, one or two wedges and a putter. I still play around bogie. The improvement in equipment and tee placements have adquatedly compensated for my deteriorating body. Golf is the best life long sport there is!!!

Summary: Number of clubs and mode of transportation have little effect on score for average golfer. My golals for playing golf: to keep my bones from getting any weaker; to continue to play bogie into my old age; to enjoy the best life long sport. This year I decided to play from tees appropriate to my driver distance and to experiment with walking and carrying a short set of clubs, so I could avoid hurting my back moving the push cart in and out of the car. Set consisted of driver (vrarious clubs 9.5* G20 to 16* Mini) , putter and 4hyb,6i,8i, pw,sw. With this setup I walked 9,18 or 27 holes on varrous courses around Ottawa Ontario. I scored about same walking with short set as with riding with a full set. About me: 80 years old, golfed off and on for 65 years, never better than 10 handicap: never had a fitting as I am constantly working on developing a better swing; I consider myself an bogie golfer as I play about that level with 14 or 7 clubs, walking or riding on 9 or 18 hole courses.
