That's a good idea to carry an extra just to slam around. You have to hold the impulse to do that until you can go to the bag and get the throwing club or just carry it with you as you know you're likely to screw up the shot.

 

Senor, 14 clubs is the max you can carry. I don't know if there is a minimum (NYC?). I try to go out once a year by myself for 9 holes at a local course (in Essex, MA- it's a great course to walk b/c it isn't that long and it overlooks the marshes out to the ocean, sorta like the Hecksher Drive area in Jax) with just a 5 iron and assume that all greens are 2 putts (I'll putt anyway with the 5 and 2-putt most of them anyway. I always pick a crisp, sunny day and it's a nice walk.
