What good gapping looks like

Most club golfers carry 13 or 14 clubs, and the useful thing is a steady step between them, often 10 to 15 yards through the irons and wedges. A gap much smaller than that means two clubs doing one job; a much bigger one leaves shots you have no full swing for. The flags above are rules of thumb you can change.

Use the distances you hit on the course, not your best on the range, and the same measure for every club: total distance, or carry if that's what you know.

Golf Scout's Bag keeps how far you hit each club, and learns from the shots you mark. Get it on the App Store.
