Re: Most USEFUL club

For me I seem to gravitate to the 9W. I use it out of the rough, in the fairway, anywhere I need a nice soft landing from 150-170 yards.

Most often is my putter. I guess that was a give-away.

Least favourite would be my long irons, or the sand wedge. I just can seem to feel comfortable with them.

Bill: I agree with your theory that no club should be favoured over another. They're tools and you have to know how to use them. I vary clubs for chipping because it seems to me it's better to use a consistent chip stroke and vary distance with the trajectory delivered by the loft of the club. Sometimes it's very difficult to deliver a very soft love tap with a 7 iron where a slightly harder chip with a PW will go a bit higher and roll less. The trick seems to be being able to visualize how the ball will land and roll.
