- Should I buy a full set of golf clubs? The Six Club Challenge
In this video I look at how you can adapt your game to use a half set of clubs. I play with six clubs over six holes at Withington GC

I deliver straight talking, easy to follow, honest, professional, calculated advice to all of my viewers from beginner to tour pro. This tried and tested method of coaching has helped many golfers achieve their personal goals and beyond.
Have you used a half set?? What did you find?
PS. This was recorded BEFORE I started using the Mizuno driver 👍
I play a three club challenge twice a year. I find it helps me play more creatively - even when I'm using a full set.
Same I've played 3 clubs and a putter before and enjoyed it.Had a 2 hybrid and it showed me that with my handicap I don't need to hit 3 wood never mind driver as often as I did
I tend to go for a half set during the winter months; its a good challenge and frankly, great fun too.
The half set is typically driver, 5-wood, 5i, 7i, 9i and 52deg wedge plus putter. at times I reckon I could use those throughout the year too.
Great vlog by the way; loved it!
We've played 5 club and one club (plus putter) a few times. Does wonders for my game. Learn to hit shots you'd normally never think of. Focus more on putting the ball somewhere for your next shot instead of just hitting to try and get home.
I have driver 3w hybrid 4-pw 56 degree and a putter but I use driver 567 and wedge more than anything else I'm not a great player though so it's probably different for me 8 and 9 rarely get used
If I was buying PXG clubs, it would be the one club challenge, and even that would be a stretch to afford.
I am a 6.2 handicap and I only play 8 clubs.
What I did was I had my loft gaps larger than 4 degrees between irons.
I presently use a Driver at 9 degrees,5 wood at 18 degrees,6 iron bent strong to 26 degrees,7 iron bent strong to 31 degrees,8 iron bent strong to 37 degrees,9 iron at 43 degrees and a Pitching wedge bent to 49 degrees and a putter.
It keeps my bag nice and light since I always walk and carry my bag.
I remember in the mid 90`s most basic sets came with a driver, fairway wood, the odd numbered irons, and a putter.
I get that this style of vlog isn't as entertaining for the masses, but I really enjoy hearing someone who knows what they're doing talk through their thought process and execution on-course.
Even moreso with this abbreviated-bag, forced-imagination setup.
Great video, Pete.
Absolutely - a half set is all you need till you get sub 15hc. Kill off all the difficult clubs for a start = no 5 4 3 irons no 60° wedge no 3 wood. So 12-13 degree driver with a shortened shaft, a 25 degree hybrid 6 8 irons PW and a 56° sand wedge. A putter - frankly any quality putter. Job done
Because I prefer to carry and I am above that certain age- I always use less than 14 clubs- so for me it is not about experimenting as much as knowing my game ( and sometimes the course/conditions. I found it best to work back from the green so putter, 56 degree sand wedge with a favourable grind to open the face to 90 yards, wedge to 135yds, 8 iron to 155 yards, 6 iron to 185 yards, 4 hybrid to 210yards, three wood, driver. 8 clubs in total. Never any doubt as to what club to hit either. So as to not get stuck on just those clubs switch to 3 wood, 3 hybrid, 5 hybrid, 7 iron, 9 iron, wedge, sand wedge, putter every so often
my club last year had a tournament (unfortunately couldn't make it) that you could only use putter and three clubs - think its such a good idea and bit of fun
Played a good 9 holes with a hybrid, PW, SW, Putter. Got two pars, been out of golf for a good ten years so it was a nice reintroduction.
I played my best golf in 2020 with half set. Couple of woods ( 1, 3, 3hyb,4 avail' ) 5,7,9 56deg, Putter.
New clubs on order but already thinking I should just have bought odd numbers
When I travel I take a 14 degree mini driver, a 23 degree hybrid, 7 iron (33degree) , PW ( 45 degree) , SW 56 and putter. It is fun to have to improvise shots and my score is usually O.K.
Great video again Pete, middle of winter here in Australia, my local course is a short public golf course. I normally go around in a very weekend hack 47. The other weekend just to get a round of golf in I went around with a 7 iron and a putter, and finished with a 49. Made a few mistakes in shot selection and found a bunker on a short par 3. With a 58° wedge in that set I think I could have equalled my normal game. Funny game golf.😂⛳🏌
I learned the basics with a half set... It can also be some fun golf
I love my Sunday carry bag: D, 19, 5, 7, 9, P, 52 and putter...done! ;)
Play 8 clubs all the time. Been minimalist for a long time now as I prefer to carry. Scores haven't altered at all in 10 years and I'm a shot knocker....I use driver, 5 wood, 4 hybrid, 6-8-pw, sw and putter. All you need
The beat is awesome...when it drops it's so simple but so nice
I started with a half set. Also did test 1 club+putter and 1 club+1 wedge+putter. You learn a lot trying different ways of playing the game.
Started walking the course more. Since then, I have been using a 1/2 set and Sunday bag. Love it! There is a zen to it that a cart and full set just doesn't have for me.
I really like how you accessorized that old lady cart with a nice old lady handbag. Way to go Peter with accessorizing!
I really enjoyed when you were using a poitrail focal length and setting the camera up further away, gave a much more realistic view for distance. I still really enjoy the video, as always. I have not intently played a half set, but I know how it'd turn out, just as bad as a full set. HA! If the lightening doesn't keep me off the course I could give it a go this afternoon. D, 5w, 5i, 8i, pw, 54, Putter, sounds about right.
5-wood, 7-iron, pw and putter is all you need.
Jakob Nordin - Hardcore Jakob. I agree that a very few clubs is a great way to get started
Good video, plenty food for thought. I only carry what I need to as there are some clubs I either never use or hit once per round!
Being a lefty - and wanting to play hickory tournament. I picked up a starter set: Driver, mid iron (2), mashie (5), mashie-niblick (9) and putter. When i played the 2nd year i added a much needed niblick (like a PW). Fun to dress in knickers - but lots of swing control issues...
Tried it through the winter when there was a trolley ban. If you choose the right clubs you can still score just as well. Great stuff as always.
0:37 so agree with the sentiment. Last round Wychwood Golf Club 5th Par 5; Drive, 5 wood eagle putt (lipped out) birdie. 9th par 4, 5 off the tee, 9..........
That was fun Pete. Took me back to when I started many years ago. 2 wood, 3,5,7,9,S irons & putter. Slazenger Hawks, OMG, how small were they compared to todays clubs. It did make you learn how to hit half shorts and probably was a better way to learn golf.
I remember many moons ago starting with a very cheap half set. And tbh I would actually say to anyone starting to actually find as nice a second hand set for the available money you can.
That said, it is nice to occasionally go out with a reduced number of clubs. Always been one, even when going out with a full set to vary the types of shots I take and use different clubs.
I love having the opportunity to play links and heathland courses, as that also makes you be creative with the clubs and shots taken.
Great vid... Really appreciate you voicing your swing thoughts. Keep em coming!
My standard 9 hole kit is a driver, 20degree hybrid, 7iron, 48degree wedge, putter. Sometimes ill add a 56 degree if the course has a lot of bunkers and maybe a 9 or a 5iron depending on the par 3 yardages.
I started off with a half set "Northwestern", got to a 15, bought a full set irons (ping copies), got to an 11, now I have a full set of big name woods and hybrids, really good irons and dream of getting back to an 11.
Great video. There should be more like this with talking through the thought processes for each shot
I prefer bringing out a half set with a light stand bag. You have to engineer more shots, it keeps it interesting and the score is never any different - about 80 for me
Great video, I normally play a lot of 1/2 and 3/4 shots with my wedges, must admit it’s making me think about a 1:2 set challenge
I did this too but with 4 clubs: 5 wood, 6 iron, 8 iron and a lob wedge. Who needs a putter?
great stuff Peter keep it up, it is very entertaining I wish I could remain as composed as you do under pressure!
We would do this all the time in college. I would always leave out my putter and put with either my driver or the edge of my wedge. It worked pretty well
In most rounds I find that I hit maybe 2/3 of my clubs and the rest stay in the bag but one thing the army did teach me is it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it so I keep 14 clubs in my bag all the time
unless your a very low handicap i doubt you can hit all those clubs as good as 5 or 6 of them as they dont get used...
Love the content Pete! Keep the daily posting up!
Nice 8 bag, my bag carries 9, but who knows? Be more positive about your game, don't be disappointed. Its not the last shot, its not about the score, its only about the club your'e playing and shot your'e making, everything else is extraneous...
Think this is a great video which is so true it will really help to strengthen your game by having to limit the club's you have to make you think more about each shot. Great to hear what you are thinking and why you chose the shots you did. Thanks and keep up the great work.
I carry 13 clubs and there are still clubs ive never hit a shot on course with as of yet! More clubs just gives you more choice to "what if" about rather than just thinking of how to make the club you can use actually work for the shot you need.
Add a pw (7 clubs) for a less powerful player a pw and a sw cover most of your shots from 70-100 and in 👍
Notification squad, where you at!😃😎
I always carry a minimalist golf bag. Same as you on the video, but 56° wedge.
I like the new accessory on the bag. Who was filming as they did a great job an Carly did good work with flag attending
My wife's set is 7 clubs, that's all she needs, Mizuno jpx900 driver, jpx900 4 hybrid, 7i and 9i Adams xtd, Mizuno s5 blue 54 and 60 and a Odyssey white hot #1 putter
Used to use a half set but recently got a full set. Great video
I think this video is a Awesome!! I actually am an avid player of hickory clubs. I have a replica set that date to pre 1800 and all I have is two wood clubs 10 degree and 20 degree and I have an original wedge that is around 48 degrees. My entire round is creating shots and being creative. You even have to shorten most course to fit the length they use to be. This video shows exactly what golfers from the time before played like
Great stuff bud!
I only play 10 clubs ... forever ~ just perfect
Havent really played half set; however, broke shaft on my 5 iron (dont have 4i) and at the moment cant afford to reshaft it ( working student living on my own and shit ton of payments atm) and can only play on my homecourse, but I kinda like working my shots with 3i on 185-230 yards shots. Quite challenging but I have to say, I didnt loose any shots not having 5iron. It is not the pretties golf, but it works :)
I play with 10 clubs in my bag, no wedges lower than a gap, and although I’d like to have a 60 or 56 degree in my wheel house, I just can’t seem to find one that I like. I find that not having a proper wedge forces me to be more creative around the green and on approach shots
With the ground as hard as it is at the moment I could play with 5w, hybrid, 6i, 8i, 54 wedge and putter, could be fun
I carry 12 clubs in my full set and 7 in my carry bag during winter months.
Fab video as always
But the best bit for me is seeing your frustration when the shot doesn’t quite go as you wanted
If Peter the great can get frustrated then it allows us mortals to feel a little less bad when we do 👍🏻
Keep meaning to try this I think I’ll go PW 8i 5i driver putter and my 2 iron to make me use it
Great video Pete, also I'd just like to mention how nicely you stored your handbag on your trolley.....keep up the good work 👍🏻
Another great video Pete, loving these videos; half set and charity shop. Different to what anyone else it doing, keep up the good work!
I'd probably use Driver, 3 Hybrid (most versatile club in my bag it does everything) 6i , 9i, 52* or 56* wedge putter.
1W, 4W, 3i, 6i, 9i, SW, putter
Great video Pete but have to say if you are doing the freehand style think you need to invest in a gimbal as I found it quite hard to watch as some points
Enjoyed you describing each shot before hitting the ball. I do the same, up in the air and forwards please.
Just wanted to plant something in your brilliant ear...usa vs uk. You and rick collab with the golfholics for a video. Ryder cup style match play!
I have only a half set, 3W, 5,7,9, SW and putter. Looking forward to the day I can control range well enough to justify filling the gaps.
Well after half mine got stolen last week, Im kinda sporting a similar set up!!! lol
I never have 14 clubs any more. A “full” set tends to be 3 wood, 5-pw, 52,56 putter.
About half the time i will have 8 or less.
Nice handbag Pete at 10:40 colour suits you!
Good to see your still using the trusty TM driver 👌
I carry a Summer bag containing 8 clubs , can do 9 holes but anymore and my back hurts . I find I can get around the course with 8 clubs
Sneakers are 🔥
I only use 5 clubs. Driver, 20 degree hybrid, 8, 58 wedge, putter. Mainly use my hybrid and my 8 for everything. It kinda makes my friends mad that I win only using 5 clubs.
Hi Pete great vlog I went and played a local course Whitefield in Manchester I'm sure you will of heard of it or maybe even played it ? I took on your 6 club challenge and considering I'm a high end handi cap golfer I shot 78 on a par 70 course !! Using a driver 5 7 PW 52 degree and the putter I play off 22 at my local society. It opened my eyes on using the clubs in different ways just brilliant can't wait for my next round now 👍
I like this, might try this in a practice round and test myself!!
I only carry 13 clubs, but rarely use them all in an 18 hole round. At the moment the way my course is running so fast, I`m sure that I could get away with a driver, fairway wood, a rescue iron, my Pitching iron and Putter. Ps I don`t mean to worry you Pete but you seem to have a stalker! Mind you she does look very pretty, so perhaps you will be safe LOL
Great idea pete keep doing these videos
I use myRoundPro since I saw you using it Pete and I find that there are always a handful of clubs I never use 😂
I've done the 3 club challenge before, one has to be the putter. Went with SW and 7 iron, still got 31 points and if my putting had been better, could have easily been 35 points.
Great idea for practice.
Great video 👍 love the content mate
OMG Pete this video brought back so many memories as I have "missed the bank" every payday 😯😁
Very enjoyable pete, thinking of your golf today how is the puppy getting on! Just kidding that was a good video to open golfers minds open and to visualise shots which you should do anyway. Good caddie as well! Good work Mr Casey!
This video is the number 5000 video I have liked on RUclips 😁
Im looking at slimming down and going to less clubs (probably like 9 or 10) but have a problem with hitting anything less than a full shot... I guess I have something to practice
Give it a go bud, let me know how you get on
It’s a great way to practice!
You did better with the charity set Pete. Great vlog Pete
Best tempo on RUclips
Pete,challenge Rick to one club stroke play for 3-4 holes. Those matches are always good.
isn't a full set 14 clubs???
do courses let you just pay and play 6 holes? that would be awesome for a quick lunch break round.
I was lucky enough to get a Mackenzie bag from my wife. Having so much fun with 8 clubs in my bag 😎
I'd have thought for 162 yards the 8 iron would have been better!?
Aren't we a little young for an electric push cart? Come on Peter! Great video though, and familiar with the less clubs option as our golf club sometimes has outings using only 5 clubs..
Steve Smith . Think its because of all the extra camera equipment he usually has to lug around by himself.
Pete, if you are a pro how come you don't try and get on the challenge tour or the European tour? Is it a cost and sponsor issue? My local club Withington too.👍👍
Burton Rd Forever 1977 most PGA pros would not make a living on tour. The difference between a pga professional as a touring professional in the top 50 in the world is 3-5 shots per round.
My OpenMind ok cheers
A.... Pete all the shots look good under circumcised but I think you need to work on your putting. on the third hole you didn't even show a putting. 😜😂
Great vid as always. Your content has been top drawer this year, yourself and Crossfield are consistently miles ahead of the other vloggers.
Keep up the good work👍
Pete you and Rick should do the 14 club challenge
Hardest tap in ever at the last 😂🏌️♂️⛳👍
Interesting video, perhaps only use to try and get you creative with your shots. Perhaps half set in winter with a pencil bag when trolleys chew up the course. Always a pleasure watching u play. Putting on weight ? Or was it those horizontal stripes on the polo shirt lol !!!!. Just kidding
Played a game at my local club ,3 clubs and a putter and shot 39 points I then played a game the week after with 14 clubs and shot 32😂⛳️
Peter, you are going to have to start paying Carly. Camera woman and Caddie. LOL
I am in!
interesting video man, i cant afford a full set of cobra one lengths so im getting the even numbers which is significantly cheaper (im14)
Have a look at this Riley, might give you some ideas of how to pick up bits for cheaper ruclips.net/video/BBnHblPD9g8/видео.html
