18 holes with one club

How many would try this? I think it would be a fun thing! But I also enjoy 3 clubs and a putter events.

Spuzz

Rickochet
Likely getting top spin instead of back spin.
Best used when going uphill and out of the ball against the collar issue.
Otherwise, putter (downhill or flat) or wedge.

Possible I guess, but hard to figure topspin from and 8 or 9 hybrid. These heads also have a bit of onset which might factor in to it.

Tinker

6 iron, just have to stay in front of hole .

Martee

Not sure I would find my score with 1 club enjoyable. 3 clubs from the forward tees would be fun every once in awhile.

Three weeks ago I drop to 7 clubsband have been pretty much hitting my normal score with one exception. Played a new course when visiting my son. Ended about 8 strokes above my average. No excuse, just crappy goof on my part, from a no rhythm swing to some really really poor decisions.

Tomorrow back to 10 club bag.

Rickochet

sdandrea1 6i, 8i, W

Eye 2's?

Rickochet Eye 2's?

Nope. PING G5 6i, G2 8i, isi wedge. A minimalist set I built from some straggler heads and graphite shafts. Eye 2s are all steel, but that might be temporary.

I should add that the courses we played "back in the day" had very few bunkers or forced carries and had open fronts to most greens, so easy to run the ball on.

THIS makes a huge difference in club selection for one club or minimalist golf. Gotta carry what course situations dictate.

I once played 3 holes with a right handed 1 iron.
I am a lefty golfer, so I just needed to put it toe down and adjust my stance for the actual loft designed into the clubhead, then eyeball the new loft of the club for whatever club I was trying to replace. I shot 15 for those 3 holes but I did use a bullseye putter once on the green.

I just got back from 18 holes at Lake of the Woods here in VA. Par 71 rolling track thru a neighborhood (tight!). I took my TM 07 Burner driver, Aeroburner 5W, PING G5 6i, G2 8i and an isi W and an old hickory-shafted-made-in-Scotland-rusty-blade putter that weighs about 75 grams total. I shot 44/37 with four 3-putt greens on the front, two birdies on the back. Stars of the day were the old Burner driver and the isi wedge. I never once missed the other 8 clubs. I did hit all 14 fairways and avoided all the sand bunkers. My Titleist Sunday bag weighed about 2 pounds, I think - all the irons have Acer graphite shafts. I walked from my tee shot into the green on all the holes. Minimalist!!! The putter sucks - it's so light it has ZERO headweight and no feel. I need to find an old Anser for this bag. Fun day! Got up to 61 degrees.

sdandrea1 Awesome playing, Uncle Steve!

I've got about a million putters. Come on by and take one for your next few rounds.
