was to play a municipal course with hard packed sand and sparse rough around the greens.
Playing with a reduced number of clubs
Aside from young junior golfers, which will carry a limited number of clubs (usually seven or less), there is another category called a starter set. A starter set is generally comprised of less than the limit of 14 clubs for the purpose of keeping the cost and confusion down until the person it more fully involved with the game. Many cases it might be suggested to carry only a driver, one fairway wood, 3, 5, 7, 9-irons, wedge and putter. Remember though, making such a purchase in no way guarantees that matching fill-in pieces will be available at a later date.
Golfers with lower clubhead speeds may also find that 14 clubs is too many. As we can see from Chart 2 below the proportionality of distances hit with each club in the set in relationship to your driver. This is a direct result of the overall length of the clubs and their lofts.
