If you had to use a golf club for self defense...

Whatcha swinging?

Let's assume your set is pretty standard and consists of (all clubs are regular flex):

Graphite shafted 460cc titanium driver

graphite shafted steel 3 wood

graphite shafted steel 5 wood

graphite shafted 3 hybrid

Steel shafted 4-PW iron

steel shafted SW

steel shafted LW

steel shafted putter that looks linda like a space ship.



I'm swinging the SW. I would go with the LW, but my LW is my money club, so if I needed to play the next day I wouldn't have to immediately rush out to get it reshafted. I chose a wedge because it has a heavier head and has relatively sharp edges for doing the most damage. You probably wouldn't have space to get as much power and damage on a swing with a wood and the shafts are going to break easier (which could be an advantage as stabbing someone with graphite shards is quite deadly). The putter would seem to be a good choice as well, but sometimes the shafts are in those guys all too well. Too risky IMO.

Question was alluded to on FR list and i thought this may make an interesting topic.

    Definitely an 8 iron. It has a bit of length and weight but its easy to swing in enclosed areas.

    3 iron. Not like I'll use it on the course anyhow :)

    Probably my steel shaft SW. It has the perfect length, is older than my LW, and has a thick head (perfect for giving someone the shaft).

    When I was 8 or 9 I swung my grandpas wedge at my sister and put a hole in the drywall. Probably good that she ducked.

    I'm sure I got good whooping after that one.

    Give me something steel shafted. As a two handicap, I've got a fair chance of doing some damage with anything provided it holds up long enough. Graphite can be good as long as it doesn't break until I'm ready to do some stabbing. I can break it off on a corner or a table when it's go time.

    ...one of my inside jokes has been realized (read your club options in the OP).

    Divisive....Reported, because I don't golf.
    I'm a special snowflake and don't want lessons.

    I only mini-golf...don't think a putter would do much damage.

    i'm short, so i'm going with the longest steel shafted option - 4 iron. plus i feel with the 25 degree loft that's going to give me the right balance of distance and finesse.
