When my game was good I used Tommy Armour 855's, but since I now suck these are the clubs I hit with. It's so much easier to only have three clubs to choose. :biggrin:

I love to play, but I don't go as often as I would like and there is a course about 5 minutes from home. (note to self: will do more golfing this spring)

Well don't laugh but .....I just use a 7, 9, and a putter through the whole game :tongue: I notice I do a bit better after a few "drinks" too.
 
I'm a Big Bertha man...(not that it helps me though) :wink:

Get rid of the 9 and putter. Go Tin Cup style. Rake and shovels are allowed though. :smile:

Seriously though. Nothing wrong with fewer clubs! One of my favorite golf stories is from an outing I had with a friend and his father, who at the time was ~62. We were waiting on the first tee, waiting for the group in front to clear. There was a group behind us as well, waiting just off the tee. My friend and I over and hear the foresome complaining to one another about "the old man is going to take forever. Look, he only has five clubs, and look at that stupid ass bag he's toting." They were referring to my friends fathers bag (tiny), his lack of equipment, and the fact that we were walking. The father refuses to ride in a cart, as he feels that the game can only be truly enjoyed if walking. Thus, because of his age, he typically takes a very small bag with few clubs. At least for "fun play." A few minutes later the fairway was clear, so we tee off. The following group asks if they might be allowed to go in front of us, and my friends father turns toward them and replies in a gentlmanly fashion, "If any of our group causes your group to be delayed, we will most certainly allow you to play through, AND, the drinks will be on us. We then proceed to tee off. My friend and I were pretty decent players, and they probably knew that because we both sportted butter knives for irons, and we striped our drives down the shoot. "Pops" then tees off. Pulls out his driver and stripes one about 290, dead center. Didn't even see the following group until the 19th hole. They came up and asked how we shot. Pops replies, "70. Not bad for the first time on this course." Conversation ensued, and they then learn that pops has played in 5 of the 6 (at the time) most recent US senior opens, and on the leader board on occasion. Drinks were then on them. :smile:
 
I love to play, but like most others, I don't play enough.
My lineup. I take what I need depending on the course. My drives need help, so I use forgiving woods and irons. My short game is pretty good.

I can still remember the days before college, when I was good enough to have a scratch handicap. Too bad I got a couple cars a job and 12hrs of school per semester.
 
I played a season or two but it was just too frustrating waiting for the groups ahead of us. I got three birdies in one round and quit playing. I'll stick to driving ranges, thank you very much.
