I'd say pick your best (for results) woods/hybrid, and leave out the 4 and 5 irons if you feel proficient with the fairway woods. I'd take my 6, 7, and 9 irons. I'd for sure bring my sand wedge, and pitching wedge.

I think the chipper club would be good too.

Interesting perspective. I like that.

I'd drop the 5W and the chipper club... but that's mainly because I prefer my hybrids to my fairway woods, and I've never had any luck with a chip club... I just use my wedges choked up. My set consists of my driver, a 3W (that I pretty much never use), 3-4 hybrids, 4-9 irons, pitching wedge, gap wedge, sand wedge, and putter.

Why in God's name would you do that....?

you keep the five iron for mid range shots and you lighten up on the eight to compensate for the nine iron.

Actually I hit the #7 wood as well as I hit any club. I have even landed the green on a 225 yd par 3 with that club.

okay then, the six and eight irons are out then.

If pressed likely I would drop the #3 wood & the chipper. I can hit my 5 wood & 7 wood better than I hit the three. If I need the 3 I will just use the driver.

I can see that logic too Fred. I don't have a chipper, so I could not vote to toss that one...

[foltdan]

But... that goes against proper golf logic... you are supposed to use the proper club that allows you to swing normal and hit the correct distance. I suck, but I do watch golf shows that tell me how bad I suck too...

This... 100 times this.

The chipper was a gift from my daughter. I like playing around with it but have never actually used it on a golf course. I can do nice things with it 15 yards and in.

[hablyShappY]

I am tragic with hybrids and woods, I like my 3 iron the bladier the better for me lol. And I hit men's clubs so maybe my advice is that much wonkier.

[foltdan]

Yeah, that's just dumb.

[wooclosmercob]

I hit my hybrids better than anything. My irons are not so hot.. i would drop my 4 and 5 as well. I agree with Carly's thinking. I would think about dropping the 8 as well. I actually have the same problem in my bag, but no one cares because I suck too bad. At some point I need to drop 2 or three clubs (can't remember how many I actually have)

You are not helping my cause.. I REALLY want to golf this weekend and Sunday is my best bet.... does golfing on mother's day equal divorce? If I take one of the kids with me I think she will be OK with it... lol

I have been playing golf for over 50 years. So you can take it with a grain of salt since you play so infrequently but here are some things that come into play. And based on your playing in a scramble

1. How good are the other 3 in your group?

2. How long is the golf course?

If you are playing a long course and your 3 teammates are not good golfers it will dictate a different approach versus if it was a short course and or there are some long hitters in your group.

If the course is short and you have some strong players then you will be using your short irons. If the guys or gals suck then you will need more of the longer clubs.

So it is a balancing act between what clubs you hit the best and which clubs you will need.

Also whether you can feather a shot. When it is cold out and or I am swinging like crap I will use my 7 wood a lot. I can hit it 120 yards or 180 yards depending upon what I am trying to do.

Having said all that I would probably be looking at removing the sand wedge unless there are a lot of traps and or you are good with a sand wedge in the fairway.

I assume you like the chipper or would not have it in the bag. I never used one as I will use anywhere from a 7 iron to a wedge to chip around the green depending on the situation.

I would then look at removing a 3 iron or 3 wood. Unless you are one of the rare ones that play infrequently that can hit them.

Thanks for your input. I am usually not long off the Tee but occasionally will rip the cover off the ball. Last time I played this course which is moderately long we played a few of my Tee shots. We all seemed to suck at the short game and I will have at least one member from last years team. I really need to work with my putter. If I was playing a three club game I would probably go 7 wood, 9 iron & sand wedge.

okay then, the six and eight irons are out then.

The three clubs you hit the worst with.
