I would go driver, mid iron (probably 7 or 8, depending on the length of par 3s) and a 52.

I play a 3 club tourney every year and you 100% have to take a putter. My setup is usually 3W, PW, Putter. Really only have to get crafty on the par 3s.

Depending on course length, 6 iron on the par 3’s. 2 - 6 irons gets you to the par 4’s, 3 - 6 irons gets you to the par 5’s
I won a one club tournament with a 6 iron, shot 1 over on 9 holes.

You have 3 clubs and you're willing to take 1 out that you would normally take almost half your strokes with? And keep a driver in that you normally hit 12 times a round?

Driver or 4 hybrid (depends on course), 8 iron and 56 wedge.
Can actually putt pretty well with my wedge.

Yes.
The number of times thing is a fallacy. It's all about strokes. I can putt with a wedge very well. If you force me to get from tee to green with two clubs, you're adding strokes to my score.

It's a fairly simple process of figuring out what costs me the most shots.
I'm probably a few shots worse putting with a wedge than I am putting with my putter (especially if I hit some putts with the wedge before the round).
In my opinion, I'm going to lose more shots by having to hit a mid iron around the greens and inside of 100 yards.
The other option is driver wedge putter, which really doesn't work if you have more than 150 yards into a green.
Taking less than driver off the tee means 3w, which is harder to hit, or 4i, meaning I lose a ton of distance.
Driver, mid iron, wedge is the best option for me.

Bingo.. and you basically eliminate any errant tee shots that end up in a hazard or behind a tree.
Also with putts accounting for such a large portion of overall shots in a round of golf, I feel like a putter has to be in the top 3 clubs.

We did this last summer for one of our MGA 9 hole tournaments we do once a month at 5:00
I chose 4wd, 8i, 56*
