On a summer’s evening or a crisp winter’s day, it’s a great feeling to stroll out on to the golf course with a half set of clubs in a pencil, carry bag. It gives you the freedom to walk in a straight line to your ball wherever it is. You feel light as a feather as you skip across the fairways and breeze around the course in under three hours.
Taking a half set is also a great practice exercise. You might not have the exact club for a particular yardage, so you are forced to be a little creative. To take more club and shape a shot, or to knock one down a little. If you play regularly with a half set, you’ll find you become far more confident and comfortable with manipulating half or three-quarter shots when the occasion demands it in more competitive play. Playing with a half set, you’ll be surprised at how little your average score differs to when you have the full arsenal at your disposal.
