Description: The Average Golfer trims a standard 14-club bag down to a simplified 7-club setup (plus putter). By removing underused 4/5-irons and excess wedges, he builds a versatile, high-confidence setup with 20-yard distance gaps tailored to recreational swing speeds.

The Average Golfer’s bag

driver: Driver
7 wood: 7-Wood
hybrid: 28° 6-Hybrid (28°)
irons: 6-Iron
irons: 8-Iron
wedges: 46° Pitching Wedge (46°)
wedges: 54° Wedge (54°)
putter: Putter

Simplifying from 14 to 7 clubs eliminates decision fatigue and forces total commitment to every shot.
High-lofted woods (7-wood) and hybrids (28° 6-hybrid) offer much better launch and forgiveness than low-lofted 4 and 5-irons.
Spreading clubs across wider 20-yard gaps works effectively for average golfers who aren't precise enough to need 10-yard tour gapping.
