Spot on. We had a nine hole fun day with a 3 club even and this setup works a treat. Putt with the hybrid. the other two irons can vary a touch. I think the hybrid is the key here.

[Mikey Town]

For a longer course (7000ish yards): 17* hybrid, 7i, 56* sw
For a shorter course (6500ish yards): 3w, 9i, 56* sw

Normally, the 3w wouldn't have a chance to make it in the "bag," but if the course is short enough, it could get you into scoring position with a short iron on many of the par 4s and may even let you give 1-2 of the par 5s a go.

[CassinoNorth]

Hybrid, 6i, 53*

[PapaJohick]

I would play what a few have said. My 17 hybrid, 7 and 52

[Rodabodem]

Three wood, eight iron, lob wedge.

[Rusty88]

3w, 7iron and putter.

[divotbeltran]

3w, 7i, 56*/9* for a course of about 7200 yards. I can putt decently with a wedge. I can not however, hit soft pitch shots over bunkers, water et cetera with a 7i/putter. It varies on how you play, assuming you drive the ball far enough and if you get a lot of g.i.r., go with a putter.

[Firegolf26]

3w, 6i and 56.

Putt with the 3w

[b_smith07]

I'd most likely take a 3W, 7i and 56*. Putt with a bellied wedge. If there were no short par 4's or really long 5's, I might even consider putting in a Driver instead of the 3w since I hit each about as accurate off the tee.

[Hi Im Joe]

This makes me want to try this. It sounds like so much fun!

[mpflynnjr]

par 3 course - 6 iron - 54degree putter

regualr 18 hole dirver - 7iron -putter

[Fade to Black]

4i = 220
8i = 165
SW = 105

[Cachaulo]

Leaving out the putter is a mistake in my opinion, the 4-5 footers are where you win this challenge and I personally would make a higher percentage with my putter over any other club. I played 9 holes in Palm Springs (PGA West) with only a 7i from the blue tees, goal was to break 50. I got killed on two holes with deep greenside bunkers and I did not make any putt over about 3-4ft...I did not succeed After that round I was pretty confident hitting a variety of shots/distances with that 7i!

The options I would consider for 3 clubs:
5i, PW, putter (shorter course)
4W or 3i, 8i, putter (longer course)

[Ballgofarboy]

I would have to know the make up of the course, the length of the holes and in particular the par 3's. Then your club distances to make a good assessment. If I were playing a 6300 yd course with Par 3's of 165, 153, 165, 183, no par 5's over 540. I would play 3Hybrid, 7 iron PW .

I could reach any of the par 5s in regulation, I would have a club for all the par 3's and the par 4's you just have to work at a bit.

[tocino]

I'd go 5 wood, 7 iron, GW

[Conrad283]

Hybrid 19°, 8 iron, putter

Three wood, PW, putter.

[agray94]

3w, 7 iron and putter.

I figure most approaches will be longer than norm, and I love the 7.
3 wood can cover anywhere from 190 to 240ish. 7 can get to 175...so it leaves a pretty small gap.

[skylargolf]

I've done this before and take my advise. Use a putter

[skylargolf]

Go three or five wood, eight iron, putter

[greerstyl]

Longest hybrid, 7, pw

[simple36]

2 iron
7 iron
putter
*if you get 3 clubs and a putter add a 58* wedge
