5 club competition


Recommended Posts

First comp of 2019 tomorrow and it's a 5 club comp.

I'm thinking..........;

4 wood

5 iron

7 iron

PW

Putter

 

I grew up playing golf with 6 clubs so I'm looking forward to this, the opportunity to manufacture shots especially from 100yds and in is quite exciting.

would you choose any different combo?

Sounds like a ton of fun! Wish we had something like that around here.

For me I would be going 3 wood, 6 iron, 8 iron, gap and putter. 

Although the idea certainly has me thinking!

I've never done a 5 club event, but have done plenty of 3 club events.  I'd probably opt for the 6 and toss out the 5 and 7 then put in a SW.  Maybe swap a 9 for the PW. 

But everyone's strengths and weaknesses will vary.

Sounds like a good time.  I'm sure my first set was only 6 clubs, too.  

Some of it would depend on the course, but from my current setup I'd probably go 3h, 6, 9, 56* and putter.

Good luck!  Make sure you give us an update.

I always try to remember that I'm not good enough to get mad!

Some interesting options in the replies 👏

It's made me rethink as you are all correct, the par 5's and par 3's are an influence.....so...

with 2 hrs till tee time I'm changing and going with.....

3 iron - an old Mizuno T zoid pro

6 iron

9 iron

54* wedge

putter

Just back.

76 with three 3 putts and no other putt EVER threatening the hole.

3 iron off the tee and fairway was ace, never missed a fairway and it was pretty long as the ground is hard just now.

Poor choice in my irons for the par 3's, my 9 iron was well out of reach for most (I tried on a 160yd hole and smashed it to 30 yds short haha), used the 6 iron on the others, gripped down, swung easy and made great contact so was on the others, then 3 putted 2 of them🙄

highlight was 2 x 3 irons to a foot on a 430 yd par 4 (made that putt, just, it fell in the side🙄)

next hole was 2 x 3 irons to a 411yd par 4 but against the breeze, so well short, nice 9 iron chip to 2 feet and holed a nervous putt.

I never used the 54* wedge at all, so 4 clubs only.

 

It was nice to play easy swinging shots, they all gave good contact so I might try clubbing down next round and swinging easier for some more consistency.

I will also be using a different putter.🤭 That MGS tester opportunity for putting would have been good for me, but wrong continent😂

 

Interesting comp, not sure I'll enter next year though.

100% fairway? Nice!

Thanks, didn't think about it until after the round, but hitting a 3 iron down quite wide fairways it didnt even occur to me I would miss a fairway, it's an iron. Made me realise the driver on anything under 380yds in future might not be wise as I've had bogies and doubles on some of our shortest par 4's when the driver put me in trouble.

now if only I could putt🙄

While you don't sound particularly happy with how you played,  it sounds like you learned some things about your game and maybe a better way to manage the course.

I’d rather have 200 into a green from the fairway instead of 140 from the trees or Worse.

Best round last year was all 3 or 5 irons off the tee on par 4’s and 5’s. Even if I miss GIR I can rely on the wedge game to get me close.

Yeah... that putting thing. I’m with you on that... I’d rather chip. But I am going to make an effort to practice more putting this year.

Man, I’d have to see the yardages, especially the Par 3s, to be able to decide. I’d start with those, then go from there. If it’s at the course where I play, I’d have 3w, putter, 7 iron, 9 iron, and 54* wedge.

Does it show 😉

Mainly bad putting, everything else was good.

I was 10th overall nett, and 3rd in scratch out of 81 players with 3 x 3 putts and a number of 'holeable' birdie putts that were 4 feet short 🙄😂

Next round is with a TM Vicino Spider mallet and superstroke grip 😂

Maybe you should have left the putter out of the bag and picked a different club  🤣
