what kinda clubs are you gonna get?

that reminds me to go to the driving range today

I found a guy selling his clubs on Craigslist in a hurry so he can turn around and buy a new set this week:

* Tommy Armour 845C SilverBack Irons
* Taylor Made 200 Steel Driver, 10.5 degrees.
* Generic-ish (Snake Eyes) 3 wood & 19 degree hybrid.

I'm still really a beginner, and I don't need much (these are def. more than I need right now), but these seemed like a deal and I wanted to grab something before I play this weekend, cause I'm tired of pissing away money on rental sets.

I'm buying some new irons in the next week or so.

oh hey, I just started taking lessons this summer

going to play this sunday, should be pretty hilarious

I wish this game wasn't so expensive, I just spent way too much money on a driver and this weekend I'll probably spend way too much money to play.

I got a pretty nice set from Target. It's a John Daley set with the sweet bag and all for $75. It was half off. woot. Then I sold my old shitty set for $20 at my garage sale.

golf lol

Now, Peggy, you don't mean that!

I used to not like golf until I realized how nice it was to have 5 hours of peace and quiet from the kids.

I've been out 8 times already this month. I think I'm addicted.

golf clubs thread bump for estone.

i havent been out nearly enough as I should

I love getting out to the driving range, its amazing how much aggression is released just by whacking a golf ball.

yeah i was on pace for a record summer, but i haven't been out in awhile.

hey!

i just got back from buying a TaylorMade hybrid 4 wood club (22 degrees). i demo'ed one wednesday and these things are SWEET! i can now dump my 3-6 irons as well as my 5 wood (all of which i could never hit worth a damn anyways).



anyone else using the hybrids? believe the hype!

while bored in a doctor's office this week i read a special golf SI issue. one of the ads said "My Game. My Shaft." i thought that was pretty funny. i can play golf in video game form but that's about it.

i made this thread?

that looks like a pretty sweet hybrid, j. my only hybrid is basically a 3 iron/wood and is totally generic (SNAKE EYES). i could never hit it at first, so i had a huge gap between my 4-iron and 3-wood (don't own a 5-wood), but then andyfest mentioned that you're supposed to play them like irons, so i started standing closer and now i hit it pretty well.

but isn't it kind of giving up to replace all of your low irons with hybrids?

when you're as bad as me, you do what you gotta do.

seriously though, i didn't touch my low irons at all on wednesday. i was hitting that demo club straight (i normally slice real bad) and far probably 80% of the time. i even used it off the tee on a long par 3. i'm sold.

now if i could just straighten out my drive.

I gave up on hybrids and went back to a normal 3 and 4. i cant hit them worth a shit, but that's ok. I'm pretty good with a 5 wood.

Ever try adjusting your grip to close the club head slightly? Helped me straighten things out a lot.

Though it could also be a million other things. ain't golf fun?

yeah, I'm not a hybrid guy either. The best club in my bag is my 5 wood right now. looks like this, but it's got a 5 on it. I love that thing, it hit it as far as my 3 and straight as an arrow.

I tried the hybrids as well and never could hit them---I can hit the 3 and 4 irons pretty well, so I stuck with it.

Mine are Taylor Made but look about the same.
