I started doing this a few years ago. I only take clubs that I know I need. Driver, 4i, 6i, 7i, PW, SW, putter. That eliminates what I call “hypothetical shots“. Say you’re 190 away. And you know you can get a consistent five iron there, but conditions(wind, wet, cut, lie) really call for one more club. Now you’re standing there thinking about whether it’s a 4i or a 5i rather than thinking about your actual stroke. And then when you finally pick your club you are still on the fence and you never commit to your shot usually Less decision making equals less stress equals better play equals better score. Breaking 75 like a baus almost everyday.
Same here. do this from time to time to work on iron approaches. generally i stay 7i thru PW and putter and just work 160yrd angles, landing areas and greens. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Matt your 4i is money!
If your playing form the whites. I encourage you to try leaving the driver at home. One of my best rounds was using the driver once and I didn’t need it. It was fun to crush it, but that can go really wrong. Have fun out there.
I love the half set. Its light and easy to carry and you get a lot of reps in with the few clubs you have. Club selection is easy: long miss or short miss? Walking carrying a small bag (vs pushing a cart or driving) is so much better mentally for the game too.
I went back and counted… this was so close to the 6-6-6 method. I counted 6 GIR, 4 up and down, 8 birthday holes. Just 2 slightly better 56 degree wedges around the green and it would have been perfection. Great round Matt!
Also front 9 score was better than back 9 because Matt’s misses were in the correct spot. On the second nine misses we’re not all in the right spot. I was also impressed on the par 5’s from 348 Matt hit 7 iron, 7 Iron, instead of trying to blast a 4 iron and end up with an awkward distance. My friend shot 77 today, hit 5 greens but had 25 puts as he misses in the correct spot and has a master short game. Scoring is all about having a good short game and missing in the right spots! The “Way of the Playa”
I only saw one bad shot. The teethed chip on 8. He hit a great second chip so still only made bogie. Chances are he would have done it anyway even with a good first chip. The whole round looked completely free of stress and good golf.
I've been agonising for weeks about whether to get a 4 iron or hybrid to fill the gap between 5 iron and 5 wood in my bag. I know the answer now. Save the money for the pub. Thanks playa 👊
Even though I still haven't broken 80, I've been thinking about playing an Iron only round to learn a little more about my game. This seems like validation of that thought.
Terrific round. Just goes to show all of us - you don’t always have to belt the driver on those short par 4s. Position yourself for a comfortable 2nd shot onto the green. Sometimes that means hitting a 5 iron off the tee while the boyfriends giggle at you. But the playa knows better.
great video Playa I am a 18 handi and when my game goes south l do the same thing. though. 7 wood, 7 iron, wedge and putter. and it works big time to get swing and game back on track. l was. a 24 beginning of this year. loved the how to break 90 video and that worked awesome for me.
Matt, great VLOG. On Sunday, I took my driver and odd clubs out of my bag. I had my 3rd lowest round of the year. It’s amazing how well you swing when you are committed to the swing. There is no indecision should I hit a hard PW or easy 9 Iron. You have to make the best of what you have and you a more committed to your shots. I told my usual playing partner that 14 clubs are too many.
Can't begin to describe how much I enjoy your videos. Plenty of good, simple information..and the appropriate amount of humor mixed in. Please keep up the good work. and we'll keep watching!
I play limited clubs like this: ≈250 yard club - driver or sometimes 3wood for more versatility, ≈200 yard club - 4 iron, ≈150 yard club - 8 iron, ≈100 yard club - 48 wedge ≈50 yard club - 60 degree then putter.
That tee shot at 12:00 ... you can just tell he’s finally feelin it with the 4 iron. That’s one of the most confident and relaxed swings I’ve seen outta him
My sort of golf. Stress free. And usually the same score as with a full bag. Last time I did it only had a choice of club for one shot. Less thinking about choices equals better golf. Now I’m thinking about doing it again. 👍
Brilliant Matt, I've been doing less clubs since I 1st saw yr video 18months ago, 3 wood big Bertha as Driver, 7i 9i sw putter an 4 x hybrids less choice an No driver for me has cut 10-15 off my hcap...yr da man....THANKS
I'm really new to golf and have picked up a set of old clubs from my brother in law, and I am so grateful that it was not a full set I have a Driver, 5 through 9 one wedge and my putter, the full lot would be so daunting and make me overthink what to hit. It also means I'm hitting the same clubs more often, especially the wedge which has helped a lot in getting me on the greens. But after watching this might take some more clubs out haha.
Your golf tips have been amazing over the years, especially the texas sized landing options when strategizing. I really liked this video, have you analyzed the difference of your swing paths say the gorgeous tee shot from 16 with the 4 iron vs. the 17th tee shot. It appears there is a lesson here, similar in disc golf where you play with just your putter disc to perfect your form and make a more consistent athletic move when throwing. If I would guess a bit longer of a pause between swings with these shots and your old form would be back, sharp as a tack! Keep it up, you are the man!
Love your videos. Playing fewer clubs makes for a nice change. Trouble is, how to decide the longest club to bring? One way could be to let that decision be guided by the longest par 3 hole.
I recently played a round with reduced set and reduced swing due to a rib issue. Half swings with hybrid off the front tee etc. Scored better than the round before with full set…
How about that US open this weekend. Was definitely one of my favorites with Rahm birdying the last 2 holes to win it. Especially after getting disqualified 2 week earlier with a 6 stroke lead because of Covid.
The 150PSP* is a beautiful thing! I know what I'm hitting immediately after seeing the yardage completely removes the barrier to commitment :) Whaddaplaya in chief!
Great video. One of my favorites in a while. Definitely going to do the three club challenge w/4h, 8i and 56D. So pure. Reminds you that golf is about executing basic shots. LOVED how you play 17 here. Great golf hole for a bogey.
Nice work! And lots of the extra strokes were from around the green when you would've used the wedge anyway. You got to the greens easily with a 4i and 7i 👏
Great Video and Premiere as always - may the best rounds of golf and the strongest of minds come to you all playas. Can‘t wait to play in Berlin with you (there is some nice places I can show you)
Anyone else find that choosing clubs and constantly thinking/adapting your tactics on the course is one of the more enjoyable parts of golf? Like I deliberately don't have a rangefinder, it's enjoyable for me to work out the playing yardage myself and make a club choice.
100% 14 clubs is too many for most Playas. I took just my odd irons and a putter to play my front 9. Started with 2 bogies and pared the other 7 holes. Off an index of 12. I'm seriously considering going minimalist to 9 clubs.
Everything else looks very solid, except some of those pitch shots. I am guessing that under normal circumstances there is not many pitch shots that need to be played, because you are hitting mostly wedge, 9, 8 irons into greens, therefore not many big misses. Short game and long iron game is very impressive :) - but this exercise really does help to show areas of the game you can improve.
Right?!?! I knew a guy that played with 7 clubs in the bag. He said it was lighter to carry that way. He played scratch. You my friend, played very well and I could see your swing got a bit loose, you looked tired around 25 - 16.
I'm only playing golf since november, so I currently only have 5i-PW, SW and a putter. I've got length (6i goes 175m+ steadily) so I don't yet really see the need for a big dawg driver and woods. Also, they're really expensive :P Loved this video btw!
Question: does one hear the tuba even when it isn't played? 😀 I would like to see pro events reduced to 7 clubs. Would result in much greater shot selection
Why use more clubs? I think the handful-of-clubs practice rounds are very helpful but I think we ultimately play our absolute best with at least a few more tools at our disposal. My scores have improved recently by adding a couple clubs: 7 wood and sand wedge. For years I struggled to get out of bunkers because I just didn't understand that the sand wedge was fundamentally a differently designed club. I regularly play rounds in which I basically only use 7 or 8 clubs: driver, 7 wood, 7i - 9i, PW, SW, putter...although there is usually at least one punch out of the trees with a 4i or something else depending on the situation. So, do we need 14? NO! but I do think we need more than 3 plus a putter.
You started laboring around the 11th hole. Gotta stay mentally and physically strong from start to finish. Someone might need to start hitting the gym.
Gyms closed for three months here already. Need to wear a mask everywhere so not going to run outside in 40° C (103°F) weather in a mask. Need to do something but i hate exercise unless i have a trainer at the gym
Taking 14 clubs won’t hinder you if your decision making is correct. I would agree that if you have a club in the back your not comfortable hitting like a 3 wood by all means eliminate it . Fill that bag with clubs your are fully comfortable hitting whatever number that is once obvious by the rules it’s less than 14 then that’s the number of clubs one should use . It will obviously vary from golfer to golfer . Like a pro can comfortably hit every club so it’s beneficial for them to have the maximum choice so they can make the optimal choice. I would argue that this decision process can extended to the amateur regardless of the number of clubs once they know what clubs and shots that can reliability hit with those clubs .
On your push right shots you setup slightly too far away from the ball. I do the same, and to fix this problem, I take a 90% power practice shot, observe my divot or grass pattern during my swing, and move that distance away from the ball for my shot.
My guess is that they're doing that as a silent version of "inside the leather." I imagine that many of the courses in the videos are resort style because of the caddies and such, and this would just be an added resort feature so that everybody is given the same benefit on putts inside 2-3 feeet.
The courses aren't resort courses - I don't think I've played any resort courses in Thailand - it's not really a thing here. The caddies are mandatory here on every course from high end to countryside army courses. Supposedly to increase employment opportunity. It's a gimme circle that I have seen very few people actually use so I don't know why they keep painting them. I've never played with anyone who said "yea its in the circle, that's a gimme".
Man, I feel absolutely terrible today. I just got done 18 holes and halfway thru I had to take a call, so I let a group of 4 older guys through. They were playing pretty slow but that never bothers me at all. However, I was playing right behind them for the most part. Theyd be near the green and I'd hit my tee shot, then wait out by my ball waiting for them to finish. I had no problem waiting, but I just feel terrible that they felt rushed :( hope they didnt. Is it okay to play behind ppl like that? I've been playing a long time but today the course was packed so there was groups behind me too. I just dont want to make old folk feel like they have to play super fast. They weren't terribly slow
I worry more about playas behind than in front, especially when I’m a single much more concerned with not holding up those behind than waiting. If noone’s behind me I’ll just chip and putt around the green I just finished until group ahead is well clear.
I'm currently saving for a driver but now thinking if I even need one. Ive got a 3 hybrid that goes 200 yards do i need more than this? I still havnt broke 90 yet been playing for a year.
It can be a monster addition to the bag if it suits you. I would say a PROPERLY FITTED driver can be what takes you from 92 to 83 in 6 months...but only if it's properly fitted and used WISELY and doesnt cost you strokes after a good assessment to see if it helps your game

Your 4 iron is soooo pure Matt! Think landing the green at 200 yards+ is something like 8% even in top 100 pros and you seem to do it a lot.
I hit it mainly off the toe this round! Until the 14th hole!
Awesome content Matt! Would love to see another one like this. Maybe I will try this with 5, 7, 9, 54*

Thank you, Matt! Inesis golf shoes rule.
100% 14 clubs is too many for most Playas.
I took just my odd irons and a putter to play my front 9. Started with 2 bogies and pared the other 7 holes. Off an index of 12.
I'm seriously considering going minimalist to 9 clubs.

Firstly, a caddies dream. Four measley clubs. Second, this will absolutely make anyone a better GOLFER. 👏👏
And since she barely has to do anything, you don't really need to tip your caddie. I learn so much from this channel.
Great video as always? Quick question: have you ever gotten a hole in one?
As a high handicap, I only use couple of clubs throughout the round except the par threes
Bro, your long iron superb...your putting good...👍👍👍
Thought about trying a wood today for the first time on the range today, with 48hcp. after seeing this, it stays home:D
Am I just so used to the sound of your 2 iron that the 4 sounds weird?
Nah i hit it mainly off the toe in this round. From hole 14 it got a little better. Youre not weird you’re spot on
Beautiful course.
That was an awesome round
Will definitely try this!

Apart from eliminating playa’s club paralysis, it helps the caddy too..

Gimme circles, speeds up play
Can someone please explain the circles on the greens. Never seen those in the US.
My guess is that they're doing that as a silent version of "inside the leather." I imagine that many of the courses in the videos are resort style because of the caddies and such, and this would just be an added resort feature so that everybody is given the same benefit on putts inside 2-3 feeet.

It's a gimme circle that I have seen very few people actually use so I don't know why they keep painting them. I've never played with anyone who said "yea its in the circle, that's a gimme".
Do those come up easy with water or something or are there just white circles all over the greens when they change hole locations
Even though I'd never take a gimme, I like the Idea of visualizing a ring like that around the hole. For me helps reduce stress when chipping.
Playas can anyone tell me why the caddie last video kept nudging this playa’s ball
Man, I feel absolutely terrible today. I just got done 18 holes and halfway thru I had to take a call, so I let a group of 4 older guys through. They were playing pretty slow but that never bothers me at all. However, I was playing right behind them for the most part. Theyd be near the green and I'd hit my tee shot, then wait out by my ball waiting for them to finish. I had no problem waiting, but I just feel terrible that they felt rushed
:( hope they didnt. Is it okay to play behind ppl like that? I've been playing a long time but today the course was packed so there was groups behind me too. I just dont want to make old folk feel like they have to play super fast. They weren't terribly slow
Let it go. Then in future just hang back. Guilt is a wasted emotion
I worry more about playas behind than in front, especially when I’m a single much more concerned with not holding up those behind than waiting. If noone’s behind me I’ll just chip and putt around the green I just finished until group ahead is well clear.
i got 80 with putter, 58 and 7 iron haha, i cant belive i got 11 irons in my bag that are just in the bag for weights hahaha
I'm currently saving for a driver but now thinking if I even need one. Ive got a 3 hybrid that goes 200 yards do i need more than this? I still havnt broke 90 yet been playing for a year.
It can be a monster addition to the bag if it suits you. I would say a PROPERLY FITTED driver can be what takes you from 92 to 83 in 6 months...but only if it's properly fitted and used WISELY and doesnt cost you strokes after a good assessment to see if it helps your game
