Golf Nut, I am a 19 handicapper and am really loving golf. But I wonder if I am messing up my golf swing by trying to work on getting every club down perfect. Someone suggested reducing the number of golf clubs that I use initially until I get my golf game in better shape. What do you think? If you were going to switch out the combination of golf clubs in your bag, what change would you make?

Well, first let me say that I’ve worked hard over the years to develop this ugly golf swing. So I am careful with any changes. But I do have a fundamental golf tip about this topic so I appreciate the question.

One recent change that I made is something that I recommend a lot of golfers consider. I took the 3, 4, and 5 iron out of my golf bag and replaced them with two hybrid clubs. These golf clubs are so much easier to hit and I just have never been able to nail the long irons consistently and don’t think that I ever will.

Why fight the battle? Technology has reached the point where it can really make a difference in your game. If you can afford it, find some good hybrid clubs and maybe you can sell your old golf irons on Ebay to recoup some of your cost.

This would be the primary golf tip I would give mid to high handicappers about making any kind of change to your combination of golf clubs.
