Playing In Winter

Although the rules only allow us to have 14 clubs in the bag at any one time, smart golfers should have at least 16-20 clubs in their arsenal. The allows you to mix and match your set to suit the conditions – whether it be links or parkland golf, wet or dry conditions, fast greens, pot bunkers, or high winds. 

For example, if you play wet courses, a 3-wood, which offers more carry and less roll, will help you claw back those lost yards. 

In the winter, rather than the thinned 3-iron with a rock-hard golf ball(which is something that we’ve all experienced), ditch the long irons and load up on the high-flying hybrids, which are far more forgiving,and won’t dig into the turf and will be far kinder on your hands when you don’t hit them flush. They also launch the ball at a higher angle, letting the ball drop onto the green rather than get caught up on wet or muddy fairways.
