The only 7 Clubs you ever need to play good golf for life
Golf Sidekick demonstrates how simplifying your bag to just seven core clubs can improve course strategy, eliminate decision paralysis, and lead to better scoring. Matt breaks down why high-lofted woods, a mid-iron, wedges, and putter cover every distance needed on the course. He also showcases versatile techniques like toe-down chipping to maximize shotmaking around the greens.
Use high-loft fairway woods (5-wood and 7-wood) instead of hard-to-hit long irons or 3-woods for effortless launch and soft landings.
Choose a high-loft driver (11° to 14°) if your swing speed is below 90 mph for better carry and forgiveness.
Master the 7-iron for versatile approach shots and low-risk toe-down bump-and-run chips around the green.
Limit your bag setup to 7 essential clubs to reduce decision paralysis and become more creative and intimate with each club.
