Windy conditions and firm fairways like those often encountered during the Open Championship are often why professional choose utility clubs. Beyond cheating the wind, other reasons to consider utility clubs include narrow fairways, long par-3s, and other scenarios where precision and workability can supplant the need to maximize distance. When the goal is to simply get the ball in play off the tee, for some, the utility club may the best bet.
