    got 16 clubs which ones should i use?

    hi all
    can you give me some advice here.
    i have 16 clubs to choose from:- driver,3wood,17,23 and 25 deg hybrids 3-9i,pw,sw,lw and putter.
    as i carry my bag im trying to lighten the load which clubs do you think i should be carrying.
    obviously the putter is a given and my local course has plenty of tight fairways!
    what would you guys carry?

    I recently got a gap wedge to add to my collection, so I dropped my 3 wood for it. I hardly used the 3 wood anyway! My scores have dropped a little because I have more club choice around the green... the "Scoring Zone".

      I would guess that the 3-4 iron and your 2 hybrids are duplications (distance wize) of each other and might be a place to start. Depending on which ones you like better etc.

                I think you should keep all your clubs, and rotate them based on the course you're going to play. I recently got back from a golf trip in Orlando, where some of the courses I played required a 3 wood. To hit into the par 3's. Because there was no where to lay up. But at my home course, the only time I would pull 3 wood would be if I screwed up my drive on the par 5.

                So normally I carry

                Driver
                19, 22, 25 hybrids (2, 3, 4 iron)
                5-9 irons
                PW, GW, SW, LW
                Putter

                For a longer course (ie, sub in the 3w) I would probably drop the PW. The logic behind this is because I miss a lot of greens (I'm struggling with a pull-slice/fade right now), and I miss a lot of greens. So I need my 60 for those short shots. My PW is a club that I can layup to avoid hitting. If I needed it to the middle of a green, I'd either take something off a 9, or try and lean on a GW.

                  Hi slater. How are you Pal.

                  First of all , the above advice is BANG ON. YOU ARE duplicating your 3 and 4 iron with the rescue clubs.
                  secondly: On really tight fairways i always tee off with my 3 wood as the extra loft cuts down on side spin which should give you more accuracey.

                  cheers pal .

                    hello people
                    thank you for your replies
                    aftford. i play manor at kearsley more often than not and the fairways there are tight so like you said 3wood is the best option. ive had that club 5 weeks now and havent hit one bad drive with it (knock wood)

                    bob thanks for your advice i didnt know how hybrids related to irons.

                    lowpost i currently dont play a variety of different courses but i can see how you would tailor your clubs to the course you are going to play
                    i played friday and saturday and had same clubs as you except i had 3wood where you have driver.

                    got 4 lessons left out of a pre paid block so im going to ask pro to try and straighten out my driver swing.
