Hi TJ,
If you have an illegal club, you shouldn't (maybe can't?) post your score for handicapping purposes. So you might as well put the 15th club in there, too. Not being condescending, just make sure to go back to 14
clubs when you're ready to start handicapping yourself.
Now, let's say you've got a legal chipper, and you're playing a competitive round.
With your bag, I'd just add the chipper, as you're only at 13
clubs.
IF I had 14
clubs (I'm going to tell you to buy a sand wedge and a gap wedge), I'd drop the fairway woods (or driver, depending on how well I hit it).
The reason being is that I'm not going to stick any greens with a fairway wood - it's simply a club to get me into position to stick a green. When I stop to consider that I can hold greens with anything more lofted than a 7 iron, all of a sudden I don't have to be tremendously close to a green. (IMO, the logic escapes me why you'd ever tee off with a fairway wood. I've got no confidence in that tiny little head. I'd rather hit an iron if I'm not going to hit driver.)
