Rescue wood (17 degree, ok up to about 220 yards but can choke down the shaft to reduce distance) 8 iron (up to 150). PW for control into the green. Every time I have played one of these comps I score better than in a normal round.

Dunno to be honest. All I know is that it will be bloody windy so it may be a long round!

I'm the only person I know whose favourite club is a 3 iron which probably explains why my selection is in a minority of 1.

Depends on what you are more comfortable hitting. Ask yourself whether you hit your hybrid better than a 3 wood, your 6 iron better than your 7 or 8 iron and the same for your wedges

Thinking about it a bit more, concentrate on the Par 3's and the others will sort themselves out. So a 3/5 wood for the long one and whatever you need for the other 2 as they are reasonably similar length, plus a sand wedge. Sorted.
Or, if you analyse a normal round, take the 2 clubs you hit the most plus your sand wedge.
I didn't realise people still played stick & ball, I thought cycling was the new golf.
You need to take whatever bat gives you your best chance of going through the windmill.

I think I may go for this as I hit my hybrid around 180-220....my seven 160 and pitching wedge 140
My handicap started at 26 this time last year and after a decent summer and winter I am now 15.7. Last couple of rounds, gross 83 both so that is playing to around that hc. Hoping to be single figures by the end of the summer if I can start hitting some decent puts! Hopefully will play three times a week, two evenings and a Saturday should help.
Secret to a low score is chipping and putting.........practice !

Oh yes. The thing with B&H is it is not an easy course at all. Ther is only a couple of holes where you are not playing below or above your feet. It takes me a time to play other flat courses as I am used to playing on a slope. Love the course though and it is an incredibly friendly club.
Never played it. Hate sloping lies, slice it badly enough as it is !

Don't play Waterhall then, makes B&H look like a bowling green, but brilliantly different holes & views. Great fun but too hilly for a substantial number of old codgers to form a big membership

He he...you couldn't see the ladies tees in front of you. Had a nice game of snooker at the club instead...
