Minimalist Golf

So I'm bored again instead of hoing, I have decided to play a few rounds this week with an 8 club bag. Gotta Titleist Sunday bag: Titleist 905S 10.5 Perfe...

Say what you want but this works. My go to when I get screwed up on the course.

Watch on Youtube - "Jay Golden Hammer Swing" (episode 1)

sdandrea1 See my "Jay Golden hammer swing comment" Not to be confused with the infomercial blonde haired guy selling clubs!

It is pretty easy to play with say 8i, GW and putter. Throw in some sort of driving club and you are good for most courses.

My usual set up is 2w, 4h, 7-gw and putter. Anything else I take is just for giggles. Although I sometimes regret leaving the sw at home.

Solarbear I concur Sir!

DonM Clubs are a very individual thing. Some just set up better to you than others. Loft, lie, design, appeal to the eye at address, etc. I can definitely tell the difference playing quality made clubs vs. cheapies.

82 today with 4 three-putt greens. Damn rye overseed! Too slow! Anyway I carried D, 3W, 6h, 8, 9, W, SW, NOME.

sdandrea1 4 three-putt greens.

You need a PING putter for slow greens. 😉

That's what I was playing. You mean I need YOUR PING putter for slow greens? 😉

My PING putter may get a new home at the PGASS. 🤔

sdandrea1 Congrats and a judicious selection of clubs there. Shows what can be done with "the few"!

Six clubs today: Taylormade Supefast 3W, Louisville Golf 5W Niblick, Tour Edge Bazooka 6 and 8 Hybrid irons, Vokey 50*, and Bullseye putter. Scored 42 on back nine and enjoyed the heck out of minimalism.

But get this: scored a 47 on front nine with my full set of Cobras! 😆

Again yesterday....43 from Sr tees/ nine holes. My buddies are amazed yet proof in pudding. They are scared to try minimalism except I now have challenged them to a 7 club only match. Can't seem to get my approach club right trying 5 LG Niblick and Ginty 27*. Always a bit short, say less than five yards. I am wondering if I might have a perception issue when approaching greens.

Hickorygolf59 . I am wondering if I might have a perception issue when approaching greens.

You might have my problem when approaching greens - systemic loss of distance. 😉

What distances are you hitting these clubs with run out? A Louisville 5 Niblick is 21*

Hickorygolf59

Around 160 approach to 170 yd run out by controlling swing speed.

The Ginty is easier to play but I LOVE playing the LG5. It is a superior club. 21* loft is correct.

Full bore I can get 180 out of both LG5 and Ginty. (Ginty 4 wood shaft length makes the difference).

I think I am slowing down swing sub consciously when using these clubs to avoid rolling through green.

Probably should play LG5 for 170-180 shots and Ginty for 140-160. Problem is, I only carry one at a time for minimalism.

Hickorygolf59 I think I am slowing down swing sub consciously using these clubs to avoid rolling through green.

As, I use both of those clubs and have experience with them, I would agree I find myself doing the same.
