  • So, can you play golf with only irons?

One question I get asked a lot is “Can you play golf with only irons?” So I decided to put that to the test!

For my Ping i59 irons review – how good do they look, by the way? – I played an entire round at my home club of Huddersfield with just irons. (And a putter, of course, I’m not a lunatic.)

So, can you play golf with only irons?

Bearing this in mind and having a shiny new set of Ping irons that needed testing, I set myself a bit of a challenge and headed out onto the course to see if I could get around 18 holes without any woods or hybrids.

How did I get on? Did I manage to play 18 holes to a similar standard to how I would without any club restrictions? And, more importantly, how did the Ping i59 irons perform?

Well, you’re going to have to watch the video to find out.
