I have done 5 to 8 clubs in a little bag, and love it. I’m not in the right place now. But I’m thinking about dumping a couple of clubs just to see if I could play better by having more shots with the remaining ones.
I could drop my only fairway wood, the 5 wood. And just use my 4 hybrid. Neither one is ever gonna be my favorite. I need to be better with them, maybe it’s time to give all the shots to the hybrid.
I could replace the 54 and 58 with a 56. I doubt it would make any difference other than no decision making when I leave the cart at the green.
Further…
I could use 6 degrees gaps from 56 to 20, which is 7 clubs. Then driver and putter make 9. That’s as little as I could see going without missing some clubs.
