Golfers who walk, carry and play less than 14 clubs

[LeftyHoges]

He probably mixes it up, but driver was the last one that I saw.

I'm just glad I found it relatively easy in the goonge.

Playing different shots to suit the clubs is all about distance control.
Learn and develop some distance control will make you a better golfer.

I have been learning to play my irons across a broader distance range.My 8 iron for instance,I can hit it chippy in the 120m range,or step on it out to mid 140's.A normal 8 iron would be mid 130's.
Today I played Lang Lang,I was playing more chippy shots because of the bunkers.But I could also play low punchy runners when the green front wasn't guarded

In the words of Edward Vedder 'this is not for you!'

A dissident is here.

I do wonder how much difference does it make?

Heaps,you have to think of different shots when you don't have the right club

To scoring? Nobody will ever know

Take 14 clubs, but nominate those that are in the less than 14 club bag. If there is a shot that needs a club that isn't in the<14 club bag, play it with both clubs and see which wins. Something to try during these COVID days.

I guess it's evolution baby

Edit:

Hit the same shot with the same club 3 times and see if you get exactly the same result.

Hitting the same shit with 2 different clubs won’t show much.

That's not the point.This is about trying something different,taking on a challenge.Not just walk up to 130m and grab a 9 iron.Hit a chippy 8,maybe the play is a 6 iron at 70% and bounce on to a front pin.How many times do you grab the RIGHT club only to come up half a club or full club short.

You're deliberately making the game harder on yourself though, is THE main point. If you want to try and hit the odds or evens that's your own stupid problem, but why limit yourself intentionally?

What if you need to chip out of the trees but ONLY a 7 iron gets the required loft to get through the gap. You can still claim your moral victory (and that's barely all it is) but you've still got the exact perfect club in the bag to hit that required shot at that precise time.

And I love the fact people are claiming the "taking on a challenge" point of view. Because you've all clearly dominated the game already.

It's an easy excuse for underperformance....

To be fair Joe has dominated the game already. Show some respect to your champion.

Dominating the game, or dominating us? I feel the bars are set at very different levels there.

I dont need to remove clubs to learn how to hit an 8 iron a 9 iron distance.
The real talent (which very few people have), is to hit a 6 iron to a 9 iron distance.

I remember when I was a kid one of my old mentors hits a 7 iron from about 70 metres, lands on the classic QLD blue couch green and holds it My old man could do that too. Got me stuffed how they did it (without flipping)

Do you know the 16th (formerly the 7th) at middle ridge? Short dogleg par 4 with the raised green. My old man would hit a 5 wood for his second, less than 100mtr with his huge slice and hold that green, somehow.

Fair point. You can only beat what’s in front of you though. Luckily for Joe all that were in front of him were spuds. And mostly hungover spuds at that.

[markTHEblake]

Thats not the kind of shot i was describing

[LeftyHoges]

He didn't do it with <14 though.

[Ron Burgundy]

That’s the point. Beating us with 14 clubs was too easy and he needs a challenge.

[LeftyHoges]

You're right, I won't.

And no amount of bullshit will ever convince me otherwise.

My last 2 rounds have been 34 points each,lost points with the putter,not the irons

For myself it's a way of teaching myself some touch. If I have to hit partial shots because I don't have that club in the bag I have to learn some distance control other than full shots. This means that in a normal round I have a greater repertoire of shots than I otherwise would.

This has been most handy be on windy days when taking an extra club or two and hitting a partial shot might reach the green instead of ballooning and coming up 30 metres short.
