Howdy Fellow Spies,

It's that time of year again and I am hosting my annual Honey Badger Classic golf tourney on Saturday July 30th in the Sacramento area. As the title says, you only get 3 clubs. Period.

We play at River Oaks Golf Course in Nicolaus, Ca, about 20 miles outside Sacramento up highway 99, and the cost is $60 total. It includes your round with cart, range balls, lunch and awards "Ceremony" 😎

You can see more at honeybadgerclassic.blogspot.com

If interested, message me through here, or e-mail at [email protected] before you register.

As in most tournaments, there is a trophy, various prize holes and $$ depending on the number of players. (If you win, you must get the trophy back to me the following year for the next tourney, as it passes from champion to champion)

lemme know

For me, I have to know what the par 3' lengths are. It would be best if they were all within 20 yards of each other, but that rarely happens. It's a good opportunity to practice emulating Seve.

Like Kenny, club choice would depend heavily on the layout for myself.

When I started playing 23 years ago, I couldn't break 60 for 9-holes in our company league. They had a 3-club tournament and I shot 47 with a 5-iron, 9-iron, and putter. Clearly, I had too many clubs in my bag!

 

But the par 3's on the course I was playing set up well for the 5 and 9. Those clubs also work well for 3-shot par 5's.

Back in the 1980's when I was a member of Pine Ridge CC in Winnfield, LA we used to have a one club challenge.......my club of choice then was a 5 iron.

 

For a 3 club challenge I would select 2 Hybrid(17*), 6 iron(29*) & PW(50*).  I can Drive and putt with the 2H.

I have tried to putt with woods and hybrids without a lot of success.  Since putting is one of my strengths, I can't see taking that away.  Yeah, I can putt with a wood, but I have a much higher chance of 3-putting long putts and a lower chance of making any short putts that I may have for birdie or a par save.  It all depends on the course and what tee I get to use, but I would probably score better with a shorter tee shot, and try to get up and down with my 9 and putter.

Myself, I play either fairway wood or 19 hybrid, (depending on how they play at the range that morning), my 8 iron and my 55 wedge. Putting is always fun with the 4 wood.

The current champion (3 in a row dammit) usually shoots low 80s with his driver, 7 iron and 60 wedge.

      Striking Lama- Accuracy shot closest to target line in fairway
      Hungry Little Bastard- Longest putt sunk on specified hole
      Al Czervik Award- Most stylishly attired player

Holes that are just badass, deal with it:

      Archwood Sports FlexTrek Whipsnake Cobra Venom Hole- Abnormal putters (chosen in order of getting on green, NO SHARING)
      God & The Golden Bear- Only 2 have been known to be able to hit this club, can you make it 3????

I might have to make it up that way next year for the tournament Casey.  Both mine and my wifes mother had some pretty serious health issues this year so I didnt really golf or even go on the forums at all for about 6 months,  but that 3 club challange sounds like fun.  Does everyone get one of those patches? :D
