The last decade has seen a tremendous shift in golf course architecture. In a "back to future" sort of movement, more natural and sustainable types of golf courses sporting strategic and playability options have become not only accepted but also desired and expected. The movement has been termed Minimalism.

I walk, and trolley a full bag of 14 clubs, but most of the time, during a round, I only use 6-8 different clubs.

I have done it before. I took it a step further and used a bunch of mismatched clubs that I threw together. It was fun, but I am over it, LOL.

How? with that amount of clubs you have a lot of decisions to make. I think Minimalist Golf would be playing just with one club.
What is the greatest defense in golf?
The greatest defense is firm conditions, and the opportunity to build a golf course in a place where the ball will bounce in the fairway and the greens. Professional golfers work so hard at their game and hone their craft so well so that they have a predictable outcome every time they hit a golf ball.

You can go out and laugh at yourself, have a good time and not worry about losing golf balls or have the pressures of playing a full-size golf course. Our attempt there was to create a very fun and playable experience, but also one where a good player could go out there and be tested with shots.
How Many Clubs?
- However, by minimalist,I don’t mean taking out a club or two. I am thinking about anything from a half set all the way down to playing just a single club. Of course, I have done this before. Throwing a half set in the bag is great for a quick nine holes. Taking a 7 iron and playing 3 holes after work is fun. I know plenty of other people who do thi...
Score Better with Fewer Clubs?
- I think many golfers tend to get caught up in the score and, ironically enough, this can end up costing shots. This starts with the bag set up. I have often packed my bag and then started worrying that I don’t have a club for a particular gap. “What am I going to do ifI have 110 yards in? Too far for a sand wedge, not a full pitching wedge. I NEED the gap wedge!”Really? How often d…
One Club World Championship
- There is a community of these lunatics dedicated individuals out there and there is even a world championship. You might be wondering where the fun is in seeing people hack a seven iron (or whatever) round in a hundred. Think again. The best players are doing this in or around par! How many of us have done that with a full set? Nope, me neither. Just think how much fun this woul…
A Cheaper Way to Play
- There is also the financial aspect to this. Golf clubs are expensive (believe me, I know!) Getting that dream set of Miura baby blades might mean selling a kidney. Getting one perfect club is far more affordable. Many manufacturers let you order individual irons. You can choose your club, get the shaft of your dreams and that real kangaroo skin grip as well as getting everything made to …
