[QUOTE=Lanny_McDonald;8174287]Yes, I like the traditional shape of the fairway woods over the hybrids. I never considered a 4w, which is ironic as I have one in an old set I played when I first took up the game, and could crush it. I like the 3/5w combo as they cover a really nice range of distances for me. I can hit the 3w almost as far as I can hit my driver, so when the big dog goes sideways I have that in the bag. The 5w has a nice high trajectory that I can land softly and limit roll that I don't get with the 3i. I'm at the age where I'm bleeding distance, so I need those clubs in the bag when I play with the younger and better players at the back of the golf course. When I play with the guys my age or older, I can get away with the shorter clubs. Maybe the solution is to just bite the bullet and buy the 60 and rotate as needed? Or just be over the club limit and remember which club is out of play on a given day?
I have no real advice but do want to comment on this. I understand people feel differently about the rules of golf but unless you are playing in a league, tournament etc. does it really matter if you are over the limit? I know it will to some and that's fine, but I golf to have fun. I follow the rules more or less but not always to the letter of the law. I'll move my ball is the lie sucks (up against a tree etc. because it's no fun wrecking your club and making a poor shot. I'm not good enough that a stroke here or there matters, to me I want to enjoy my game and if having an extra club in the bag that I might use once every few rounds helps then I'm good with that.
But to each their own, that's cool.
