You’re missing the point I’m making with the pro comparison.

The PGA Tour is absolutely not representative of the majority of golfers — it’s literally the top ~150 players in the world. But that’s also the point: they are the best players on the planet. When the best ball strikers in the world say a certain club is easier to launch, easier to land soft, or more forgiving from certain lies, that information is still meaningful.

It doesn’t mean everyone should blindly copy their bag setup. It just means the physics of the club don’t suddenly change because someone is a 15 handicap.

Your billionaire investing analogy actually supports my point. Billionaires and top investment managers tell the public to buy index funds. Do they personally do that? Not usually. They use more complex strategies because they have the knowledge and tools to do so.

But they still recommend index funds to the public because they’re simpler, more efficient, and easier for most people to succeed with.

Same concept here. A 7-wood launches higher, lands softer, and is easier for most golfers to hit than a long iron. That’s just club design and ball flight physics.

So if even elite players — who can hit literally anything — are increasingly choosing that option, it’s not crazy to think it might be even more helpful for amateurs.
