Golf Club Set Makeup

Your ideal golf club set makeup is one that consists of clubs that you can hit.  Just because 90 percent of the sets that are sold on the market have a 2 and a 3 iron in them, doesn't mean that you should have those clubs in your bag.

Your set makeup should be one that works for you and not against you.  If you simply cannot hit your 3 iron, then replace it with either a high lofted wood or a hybrid. 

So the question is, "what clubs should you have in YOUR bag?"  The first thing you will need to do is determine which clubs work for you and which ones don't.  To do this you will need to play a couple of rounds keeping track of how each and every shot is hit and with which club it is hit with.

Using a scorecard like the one shown below, play a couple of rounds of golf.  This score card is not so much to keep track of your score, but to keep track of which clubs you use, how often you use them, and how well you hit them.

This will give you a good idea of which clubs you should maybe replace.  If you have problems hitting your long irons, then maybe you should consider removing them and adding more fairway woods or hybrids. 

For example, if you don't hit your 3 iron well at all, which probably has about 20-21 degrees of loft, you could replace it with either a 6 wood or a 19 degree hybrid. 

You may find that you have more difficulty around the greens and need to add a gap wedge or lob wedge to your bag.

Another way of helping determine your ideal golf club set, is to make a yardage chart.  List out all of your clubs and their corresponding yardages.  Generally speaking, there should be a variation of 8-10 yards between your irons.  By listing out the actual yardages that you hit, you will be able to see where you may have some distance gaps. 

Your set makeup may take a little trial and error, but you will be able to find the right combination for your game.
