Driver, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, pw, 52 wedge, 59 wedge, putter

Well obviously Putter, then i would say 3W driver isn't that important. skip the 5w go Hybirid. lets go with 60, 56, and 50. we'll drop the PW a good choked down 9I will do its job. i'd probably finish off  6,7,8 just to keep the scoring yardages in play. I chose this becouse most of us are playing 68,6900 yard courses. there are not many 72-7500 yard courses alot of us play on a regular baises. with that being said there arn't to many 500yd par 4's or 600yard par 5's to contend with. if i were playing a larger course i might change out a club but i would probably stay with that bag.

Our Saturday morning group (12 players) decided to have a three club event last weekend.  We played one set of tees up from where we typically play (6,600 yds v 7,000) and I went with 3w, 5i and PW.  Ended up shooting 80, the low best-ball among the three foursomes was even-par 72, and everyone had a lot of fun.  It was great to mix it up for a week.

Yea thats great Brice my home course hosts a four club four man scramble  tournament every year.

What do you really need?, from my tees(next to back), I don't need driver to reach any green, so 3 or 4 wood, I'd chose 4w because because its easier to hit off the ground.

Supposedly, and for most courses it is true, if you are close enough you can reach the back of the green, then there are 3 clubs from that spot you can hit the green.....take out the middle one, then no matter where you are you can reach the green with at least 1 club, without having to manipulate the clubs distance.

For example, if you can hit the back of the green with 4i, then you should be able to hit the front with 6i, drop the 5i and you have about 50y you have at least 1 club you can hit somewhere on the green.

So with that in mind, 4w, 21*h, 4,6,8,PW, LW, putter..........throw in driver and SW as luxuries.

My first set of junior clubs was the classic combo of driver, 3W, 3, 5, 7, 9, wedge and putter. I gamed that bag for a couple of years and that is how I learned to play. These days, I might go with the even clubs instead and throw in a couple of wedges. So my 10-club set-up would be:

Metalwoods: 910D3, 910F3
Irons: 4, 6, 8, PW (AP2)
Wedges:   51º, 55º & 59º (Vokey Design)
Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Select Kombi S 

Yeah, I second that one. I'd take out all of the Even #'s. 

• Driver
• 3w
• 19* hybrid
• 5
• 7
• 9
• PW
• GW
• 58*
• Putter

Gets me to 10 with minimal yardage gaps and shorter gaps in the scoring clubs.

Great minds think alike ;^)  That's the setup I'd go with for a 10-club round.

Driver, 3i, 6i, 8i, 9i, PW, 52, 56, 60, P

I can do without the long ones, but not the short ones.  Shot frequency inside of 8i for me is just way too high and I need all of those.

Driver- 5 wood-3 hybrid- Putter- PW - LW -5 6 7 8 irona

I would go:

I played in a 3 club tournament once and went 4, 8, putter and definitely didn't shoot 80...

I'd go with 3w, 3h, 5i, 8i, 9i, pw',54, 58, kombi long putter....

I might add driver or 7i depending on course layout and par3 distances.  i hit the 7i around 175 consistantly.

i'd go with       5wd  5i  6i  7i  8i  9i  pw  52  56  putter   it wasnt as hard to drop clubs as i thought   .. out here in vegas  i play from around 6500 so i can get to most par5 s hitting my 5wd twice with 50-70 yard pitch    - madgolfer     swing'em hard

Great question...

I'd drop my hybrid, 5 iron, 8 iron and pitching wedge.  So I'd keep:

910 D3

909 F2

4,6,7,9 irons AP1

50, 55, 60 Vokeys

1- I would use D/5w/4i/6/7/8/PW/GW/SW/Putter     D/putter go without saying I think, then 3 wedges, and the 6/7/8 irons because those are the 3 I use most often.

2- The last month of the season, I just carry around 4 clubs every round on my par 70 course.  I carry putter/50°/8i/4i.  It's great practice for the short game, and really great practice for course management.  I generally play about 4-6 strokes worse, but that's all.  The end of this season, I was shooting mid-70s, then with the 4 clubs I was shooting around 80.

Driver - 3 wood - 3 Hybrid  - 6 Iron - 8 iron - 48,52,56,60* wedges,putter

3w, 3i, 5i, 6i, 7i, 8i, 9i, PW, SW, Putter

I'd probably go with: 3 metal, 19* hybrid, 4/6/8/9/PW, 54*/58* and putter.

Interestingly I found a neat article in Golf Digest yesterday about an individual that carried a Sumo SQ 7/34 hybrid and the only irons he had were a hollow-body 8 iron and his wedges. A few hotshots scoffed it but were quickly silenced when they found out he carded a 78 for 18 holes. I also read an article about an elderly gentleman who carries a driver, 3 wood, 6 iron, 9 iron and wedges, and putter. He regularly takes people's money on the golf course because he shoots 85 for 18 with this setup.

Lou:

Each year at my club, we play an event we call "3 Club".  Choose 3 clubs and play 18 holes.  I play with the 15 degree hybrid, a 7 iron, and putter.  I cannot remember my best round, but it was not too bad...

If I was going to play with 10 clubs, I would go with:

1) Driver

2) 15 Degree hybrid

3) 21 Degree hybrid

4) 5 iron

5) 6 iron

6) 7 iron

7) 8 iron

8) PW

9) 60 degree Lob

10) Putter

As for skipping the 9 iron, I can usually make up that yardage with the 8 - it happens to be my favorite iron and I have the best control of it...

Todd: I can actually play with 9 clubs (could leave out the 50 and make it 8 but that is my fave wedge). I have two sets of irons (Ping Eye 2 and Titleist DCI) - I love my 8 iron to death and ditto with the DCI PW. I could take or leave either 9 iron and the 34H is much less effort vs the 6 or 7 iron (plus it is pretty workable). The below makeup consists of my favorite clubs. Driver 7W 5/26H 34H (Louisville persimmon approach hybrid - I hit it the same as a 6 iron and can work it pretty well). Also makes for a great conversation piece.
