no!
this is relative, but 3 iron, seven iron, and wedge *assuming* you are a good long iron player and/or if the course has trees, the three iron is invaluable as it's an ideal club for getting out of the woods, can double as a putter, and a good player can often hit his three iron within fifteen yards of his three wood. the seven iron can realistically be used as a 130-170 yard club, so it's very versatile, and can also be used around the green where you'd normally use your 8 iron for low punch and run chips shots.
but above all, dont underestimate where you save shots on the course- around the green. a wedge is a must.
for a player with no short game it wont make as much difference, i.e., you suck equally with three iron/wedge as you do with wedge/putter, so you're better off playing to the (hopeful) strengths of your long game, so take your driver in the one of the combos.
for me it would be five wood, seven iron, wedge, b/c i can putt with my wedge, hit my seven either 130 or 175, and my five wood is generally spot on 240 yards or so off the tee, much more accurate than my driver, and i can use it for a variety of low-punch type shots.
also, guids, lets gamble.
