You don’t need 14 clubs you can’t hit.
You need a setup you trust.

Here’s a practical bag build for mid-handicap players.

Driver – Keep It Forgiving

Distance is useless if you’re in the trees.
Choose:

• Higher loft (10.5° or more)
• Forgiveness over low spin

Fairways hit matter more than extra yards.

Fairway Wood or Hybrid

Most golfers hit hybrids better than long irons.
A 5-wood or 3-hybrid is easier to launch and more reliable.

Irons – Game Improvement Wins

Blades look cool.
Forgiveness scores lower.

Choose irons that help on off-center strikes.

Wedges – The Real Scoring Tools

Your wedges should be:

• Properly gapped
• Comfortable for partial shots

This is where strokes are saved.

Putter – Your Most Important Club

You use it on every hole.
Pick one that gives you confidence at address — not just a trendy model.

Final Thoughts

A smart bag setup won’t fix your swing —
but it will forgive your mistakes.

That’s how you shoot lower scores.
