Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from theothertwo, who has asked an intriguing question in our forums – if you were allowed to carry 15 clubs or more, would it help lower your score? Our members have got involved and created an interesting discussion with plenty of strong opinions arguing for both sides.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- puttingmatt: “Most golfers would lower their score if they only learned how to play with fewer clubs, not more.”
- agolf1: “It could help a very skilled golfer (that has time to practice all of the different shots with different clubs) when they are playing a course that happens to have a need for various things one time a round. Think Phil carrying around 20 clubs for every imaginable situation. For most, it won’t change much on average.”
- golfgirlrobin: “I could definitely use a 15th club, primarily because carrying a 64* wedge means that I have to make compromises at the top of the bag. Don’t know what I’d do with a 16th, but one more would be helpful.”
- jll62: “Depends on the player, but I believe I’d shoot marginally lower scores if I could carry more clubs. The change wouldn’t be dramatic, however. I already change clubs at both ends of the bag depending upon course setup prior to tournaments (e.g., UDI vs hybrid, etc.). If we could carry more than 14 clubs, I’d be able to carry both and would also change the gapping in my wedges to carry more.”
