3 clubs, or 3 clubs with a putter is a common golf course game for working on your shot creativity. It will challenge you to take different tempos or distances with almost every swing. This challenge requires good sequencing and path in order to have success. I recommend this game on a quarterly basis or as part of your off season program.

This golf course game is three clubs. Now there's two different versions of this. It could either be
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:12,000
three clubs plus putter or just three clubs. We would play this once or twice a semester, usually for
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
a box of golf balls on my college team. We always played three clubs. So if you chose
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
putter that was one of your three clubs. It would force you to either put with your three
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
wood or put with your sandwich. You'll find that the most common strategies are either going to be
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:34,000
a three or five wood, a seven, six iron, eight iron depending on how long you are and then some
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
wedge. You'd be surprised at how close to your normal scores you can shoot with just these three clubs.
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000
But those are just general guidelines. What I would really challenge you to do is look at the score card
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
and see, all right, if I take three wood, what's that going to leave me into a lot of parfours and
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,000
what's that going to leave me potentially if I hit a twice into a par five and then use that to balance
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000
out what other clubs you choose. Also, while looking at kind of the parfrees for the potential of
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
which iron to pick. But again, it just forces you to hit a lot of creative shots, of variety of
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:13,000
shots, the challenges you to adjust your stock swing, which is really what playing golf is all about.
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Once you've established a stock swing that you can adjust from.
