On my home course which is just a 9 holer, I have found myself only using a handful of clubs. Only 1 hole I ever need to use back to back irons on. Setup goes like this

Hole 1. Driver-7 iron-putter
Hole 2. Driver-PW-putter
Hole 3. 3h-putter
Hole 4. Driver-5w-GW-putter
Hole 5. Driver-pw-putter
Hole 6. 8-9 iron depending on the tee box-putter
Hole 7. 6 iron-7iron-putter
Hole 8. Driver-pw-putter
Hole 9. 3w-3h or 5h-pw-putter

I very rarely need to use most of my irons & it sucks. I have played this course in the past with just a 6iron, pw & putter & that is a lot of fun. Obviously other courses have different requirements & of course I could refrain from using driver off the tee & use a shorter club to force me to use 7-8-9 irons more often. But we all love to hit the driver even if we are bad with it.

That's one reason I like to play longer courses. It doesn't do anything good for my scoring record, but I do get to hit every club in my bag. That's more important to me than going low in my scores. It makes the game far more interesting to me.

All said and done though - I don't really score any better (corrected for handicap) on easier courses. If anything, I rise to the challenge of playing a harder course.

My home course plays so different from the blues and the whites that by alternating for our rounds we get to use just about every club.

[Lhtfajba]

I use the same tees on the course, but my drive variations preclude me from using the same clubs all the time.

[GaxyGroordrep]

Although the courses don't seem to require it, I always manage to find a way to require every club in the bag one way or another during a round.

My swing has been through so much lately that from 150 yards in, I often have no clue how far any given club really goes any more. My scores show it. So right now, yes, I"m using everything, trying to get it sorted out again.

One course I play is almost famous as being the course where you use every club in the bag. It has 6 par 3's, 6 par 4's, and 6 par 5's. If you were to play it twice from both sets of tees you could use everything but driver, 3-wood, and the short wedges on the par 3's.

I guess I could play with 2.One being a putter and the other something else.I hit em all about 20 yards anyway.

[Alkassyinhisk]

I only play one set of tees, the middle men's tees. But it's long enough, tough enough and my drives are variable enough where I usually pull out every club in my bag during a round. The one thing I would change is most of the par 3s require similar clubs, 7 or 6 iron for me. It'd be nice if there were a 130 yard hole and a 200 yard hole instead of a bunch of 160 yard holes (my home course has 27 holes, so 6 par 3s).

[staisacic]

Can't recall if I've ever played every club during one round.There were a few courses I think it was very close to using all of them.

[mas-dkt-sive]

Occasionally, I will play with just a half set. I will carry Driver, 4,6,8,PW, SW, and putter. It makes for an easy carry and is fun to manufacture shots to the "between" distances. I also think it helps my game by forcing me to be creative. Oddly enough, I don't really see a huge difference in my scoring with the abbreviated set oo the full set.

I play so many different courses here that I do get to hit all my clubs at least every few rounds.

[WrinnaArraple]

I use every club in the bag at the course I normally play.

[Sydneyfonzi]

There are some course where I won't pull my 5w out. Sometimes my 7 or 8 iron gets lonely as well.

[evennyNiz]

I use the same tees on the course, but my drive variations preclude me from using the same clubs all the time.

This is me too. Depending on my tee shot, I'll need anything from a SW to a 3 wood to get home.

[skupaemauto]

I guess I could play with 2.One being a putter and the other something else.I hit em all about 20 yards anyway.

Is that carry only or does that include roll? I know the feeling.

Depending on what course I'm playing I may or may not use every club in my bag. Two last week when I play I think I used every club in my bag plus my brothers driver. Actually now that I think about it just about every time I play I use all my clubs.

[wmcelesta]

Pretty sure that i use every club,we have a lot of severe run offs from the greens and i have used every club trying to get back to the green.

[Avaindimik]

I two courses one is a 9 hole on it I don't need my 6,5,or 4 irons(sometimes I use the 5 to chip from the woods back to the fairway).On the other course which is 18 hole I all 14. Might add sometimes not to well.

Same here.

One of my pet peeves related to course architecture and tees is related to par 3's. If I have to use the same club on more than one par 3, either those holes were not designed properly or the dude laying out the tee markers does give a rats patooty.

The only reason the above should happen is due to wind speed and par 3 facing opposite directions.
