I play 3h, 5i, 7i, 9i, 50*w, 56*w, putter. I use the Loma XL. I play from the senior tees. I walk all the time, unless I’m with a friend who refuses. I shoot low to mid 80’s usually, and I never do better with more clubs.

Funny about hitting clubs different distances...when I am on the range, I will try to hit 3 different clubs to the same target and distance. Its hard to do at first but boy does it make you a better player and you start to get a lot more feel in your game. I will also try to take the same club and flight it differently...like hit a high shot, a more medium height shot and a low shot. Thanks for the Videos!

A great skill to have. As I have gotten older and the swing speed has slowed, the gaps between irons has narrowed so I go with every other iron now and work on different swing lengths. It's actually easier than full swings too.

I play a half set; a driver, 19 degree hybrid, 5,7,9 iron, 48 degree gap wedge, 56 degree sand wedge and putter. Most times one can cover the distance in between clubs by gripping down and swinging a little easier.

Great job Gabe, a plain and simple video that makes so much sense in the game of golf, that's why I love watching your videos.

Good stuff, I started minimalist golf back in 2014 after an operation and I just wanted to walk and get back into walking. Loved it, selected half a set that I need and haven't looked back. Sold most things since then and in truth because it's fun I've not really missed a full step up.... One thing, I need a stand because of the weather in the uk can catch you out

What a learning tool this video is. You really show how we can adapt to different situations and utilize our clubs. Great job, thanks Gabe.

Worked on the Banff golf course and the guys I golfed with we had a 3 club challenge,1 wood,iron and putter ,and really was great fun ,plus you learned how to shoot different shots plus surprising our scores were very close to what normally did

I love playing from different tee boxes. If I can get an early morning solo booking I will play 2 balls from 2 different boxes Maybe my regular tee boxes and all the way up to the nearest boxes. Before covid I was able to do this a lot easier, but my local courses are Is still much more crowded them before. It really helped me learn to play alot of different shots. I would keep score from my Regular tee at times. Alot of the time I wouldn't, and if there was no one behind me I would drop alot of balls and hit many different shots especially with the scoring clubs. I was late to golf vs alot of my friends so I found this was one if the ways I was able to "catch up" playing 2 rounds at a time almost really helped me take advantage of my time. Thanks again for a great video and I will try this taking a few clubs out soon!

Great video Gabe…I wish I played enough to mix it up and go out with fewer clubs, different tees, etc…Hopefully that day will come soon…and when it does, I will definitely do some of these things…

Some great points made in this video! I took the same advice about hitting clubs different distances from an old Nick Faldo VHS, and my favourite shot to play is choking down on a 3 hybrid which i hit about 175, but get a really predictable draw with that shot. Most times I game 10 clubs. Driver, 3H, 5-SW + the essential putter! I took out the 3+5 fairways as my home course is pretty short. Some nice quality features on that bag!

That was def the shot of the day. Pretty stoked I made par there. It wasn't looking good for the 3 shots before it.

Sitting at 13 and stressing over what I need to add... this makes way more sense sometimes....

I used to carry and walk almost everywhere. Even where it wasn't recommended. Even when the golf cart was included. But, with age, I surrendered to using a trolley. For many years, I used a manual trolley. Recently, I purchased an electronic trolley with a remote. AWESOME! It allows me to walk a lot of courses, especially when playing 9 holes. When I carried all the time, I used a 7"-diameter bag weighing 2.5 lbs. I loved the slimmed-down nature of it, as I didn't like carrying a lot of gear anyway. I don't think I'll be carrying anymore, however, especially since getting an electric trolley. Love the back you're showing, however. Good stuff.

I like the idea of a little half bag, sunday casual kinda set up but i never walk so its to easy to just load the whole bag even tho i almost never pull the 60 out. I fully agree with hitting different clubs different ways. I have a pretty decent 8iron bump and run and a nice 4iron punch/punch cut when needed. I cant say ive never thrown a club.

Really enjoyed this one, Gabe!! It really showed that you were enjoying the round. Oh, nice putt to end it on!!

Fantanstic video Gabe. I like the bag review as well.

Years ago we played a one ☝️ club scramble tournament . I played with a six iron . It was so much fun . I even learned how to get some spin coming out of a sand trap .

Good points throughout including points about enjoying sport/game.

Since I am carrying a lot less clubs now a smaller bag makes sense. I have a range bag, but it's too small. This one might be perfect. I only carry every other iron now and one wedge and one hybrid so don't need the huge cart bag I have now. Something I need to get hand on though. Still good review of one option.

Great video, really like the bag too! The concept of less clubs is awesome, get creative out there!

Awesome vid, great review, good tips! 👊🏼

Speaking of golf bags, you should check out Subtle Patriot. Really premium cart bags. Veteran owned and they donate to boots to suits which helps veterans transitioning from military service to civilian career. I was just shopping the latest from ping, sun mountain, and other major brands but quality on Subtle Patriot was great with a good cause.

Gabe, 2 times a week I play with some of my coworkers who play from the 3rd of 4 tees. They are older and don't hit the ball very far. It is a ton of fun since they are all funny guys. I play with them and play irons only. My longest iron is a 5 iron and it has helped me immensely with ball striking. I almost never take a penalty stroke and am usually around 0-4 over par. Since doing that I have shot my only 3 rounds under par from the tips.

Another great video. Thank you. I definitely second on carrying less clubs. I occasionally take bag w/o woods/driving irons and/or go every other clubs (Dr, 2I, 5I, 7I, 9I, etc). This really helps with gapping and matching of clubs. It also teaches you about how variable your distance can be depending on where the ball lands and/or types of lie you are hitting off even with same type of ball strike. I appreciate your review on the Sunday golf bag, I’ve been eyeing on it. I believe the website claims it can carry up to 7 clubs, do you agree?

This is a great one Gabe!!! 👏

I recently played a round and on the front 9 my driver, woods, and hybrids were just not working at all. Shot a 47. So on the back 9, I put those clubs away and basically used a 6 iron to tee off and then shorter irons and wedges from there on in and shot a 41. Sometime less really is more.

That’s a great idea actually. Proper 3 club challenge 😃

Most of us started out with a starter set of Northwestern Clubs that had a Driver, 3 Wood, 3, 5, 7, 9 Irons and a putter...That's Seven Clubs...Other than adding a Sand Wedge or Dual Purpose Wedge (Tommy Armour 58* Over and Out), for an eighth club, do we REALLY NEED more than that!?!?!? I can see where some would replace a club or two...Take out the 3W for a 5W, or replace the 3I with a 3H, or maybe replace the 5I with a 5H, or maybe just go with a Driver, 5W and a 2, 4, 6 and 8 irons with a dual wedge and putter...That's 8 clubs as well. Sometimes Less is MORE!!!

I will say having watched those like a certain British KZreadr I love watching, he would play a par 5 with clubs like only a 7 iron and try and make par. It opened my eyes, now I just have to get out a lot more.

Put your rangefinder in the netting where you have that single ball. You are going to use your laser every hole and you are not going to use that 2nd ball at all (hopefully). Those zippers will wear out if you are going into that same pocket 10 to 15 times every 9 holes looking for the laser.

I was taught that on the golf course, you didn’t have to be an accomplished play but you must be a courteous golfer.

I usually play without my 5 iron and 60 degree wedge so I normally play with 12 clubs.

I play with 6 irons and a putter, and 2 Drivers and a 5 wood. That is all! No more! My Irons are: 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 - Sand wedge. That Golf instructor is right! Put your clubs on Google sheets, put down what club, what flex R S, A? , weight of the shaft, Type of shaft, and what is your distant!

fewer, not less.

I think the 14 club rule is stupid personally. If I ever play in a tournament I'll play by the rules but just playing the weekend with friends it doesn't matter. My choice is to leave the extra clubs in the bag or I leave them in my garage with my simulator and have my teenage kids and their friends possibly destroy them. I choose the first option.

I’ve thrown clubs 2 X

4 clubs is plenty.

Yep, 70% of short puts don't go in.

Fewer

I understand the premise and the points of the video but to me if you’re playing a full length 6,000 to 6,500 yard course (white tees) why would you choose to have less than 14 clubs? If you’re playing a short course with only par 3s and par 4s yes you would only need about 6-8 clubs

Most of the courses/tees I play are 6-6,500 yards. Driver, 5 wood, 5 hybrid. It works. No need to be top heavy with the long clubs. Then do whatever floats your boat for the rest of the bag. Zero need for more than 10 clubs IN the bag even if you own 30 clubs.

You also don't "Have to" shoot good scores. Looks like a nice course you're playing, be a shame to pay for a round only to stunt yourself for no reason. But I guess it makes for golf content for KZread.

We get it , your trying to sell the bag, try not to make it the entire focus of the video.
