Consider dumping the fairway woods and long irons

A good choice to fairway woods and long irons are hybrids. The shorter shaft length along with a denser head helps most golfers hit these clubs much better than the harder-to-hit fairway woods and long irons. The end results are solid shots that give golfers increased confidence, which leads to better swings.

In the end, take a lesson from Phil Mickelson, and put three or four wedges into your bag. I recently played golf with a more high-pitched handicap player who tried to use his pitching wedge to get out of greenside bunkers.
Go out and buy a sand wedge!

In the first twelve holes, he was in four bunkers, and it took him three shots to get out of each bunker. He was bunkered on the 16th hole, and by this time I could not stand by and watch this anymore.

I gave him my 60-degree sand wedge and a few pointers on how to use the club, and said give it a whirl. To his great relief he swung that wedge; the ball appeared stopping about 15 feet from the hole.

I yelled to him, "Go out and buy a sand wedge!"

Every golfer should carry leastwise three sand wedges in their bags as the 1st place to improve your score is from around the green.
