3-Club Challenge
I am playing in a 3-Club challenge for 9-Holes at my golf club. First question is what 3 Clubs do you take? Putter counts as a club. Putt with a wedge? 3-Iron? We will be playing your normal tees. Thoughts are running through my head. The way I think I am going to choose my clubs will be taking the longest par 4 and dividing yardage by 2 so I can get home in 2 with whatever longest club I choose. From there I am going to decide on a mid to short iron. One that will let me hit a variety of distances. Finally, I am going to take a wedge of some sort. Pitching or 50 degree is my thinking now.
Another thought, longest par 4 is 445 yards and the shortest is 386 yards. Thinking taking a 200-yard club would get me home on all but, the longest par 4 if I hit it correctly. Plus, that club should be able to take down yardage by choking down or ¾ swings. Then take a 140-yard club for chipping and getting out of trouble. This club could also be pitching so I could take my putter for on the greens. With this thinking an up and down would be needed for the longest par 4 as I can get there with a 200-yard club. Benefit is the putter on the greens. Get there and then have an advantage.
Now I am leaning for the 2nd thought. Will know more tomorrow and let everyone know how it went.
