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.

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.
