3-Club Challenge

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.
