I've played golf a long time mostly at a decent competitive level. I've had a lot of clubs through my hands, I've taken. a lot of divots in my days. And I'm convinced that the clubs have very little to do with your ability to score, with a couple of exceptions the most notable being the flatstick.
The last three rounds I've played have been with different irons. And two different putters. Admittedly they are similar in spec in terms of shaft, but they have been blades, progressive blades and perimeter. Has it affected my scoring? Not one bit. Even the putters make little difference. Ok I will concede that playing rebar with an 80mph swing won't work, so let's assume that the clubs are a decent enough match to ability.
So my conclusion is if you put a good swing on something the result is very similar, be it a driver, fairway, irons, wedges or putter. Everything else that contributes to your final score is in the head, mostly game plan and confidence.
Thoughts?
