Try a 3 Club Round

photo credit: Mark Heard   Some golf clubs hold special tournaments that limit the participants to five or six clubs.  Three clubs could be a happy medium.

For tee shots on longer holes, perhaps you could choose a five -or seven-metal wood, or a three-hybrid.  Either can be used for knock-down shots for more distance, if necessary.  They can also be used for long chip and run shots.  For approach shots, or shots near the green (and/or sand), a seven-iron is ideal.  You can open or close the face to adjust the ball’s trajectory for high lob shots or low chip and run shots.  The third choice is the putter. 

Playing in a group, where everyone is using  just 3 clubs, is a real challenge.  Try it the next time you play !
