I am not a long ball hitter anymore so I carry a driver, 3, 5 and 7 wood and leave the 3 and 4 iron home most of the time. I carry a 5-PW, gap, sand and lob wedge and putter. I have really lowered my scores since I started really working on my short game, expecially my chipping. I get out in the front yard several times a week with a 9, PW or other wedge and hit the ball to an old saucer swiped from my kitchen cabinet. It has really paid off on the course when I find myself looking at the same shots I made in the front yard. I guess the neghbors have come to the conclusion I am a bit ecentric...oh well.
