Talkbass Golfers Club!

Well, just up my post count:
Driver - Callaway Big Bertha bought at second hand shop
Irons - Callaway X-22's bought for cheap from Pop-in-law.
Putter - Odyssey Rossie 2 mallet
Fairway club - Perfect Spoon 15 degree.

30+ handicap. (And I now have the yips.)

Okay, so the U.S. Open is next week. Anyone lucky enough to score tickets?

I'm on the wrong coast.

 

[Broadstbully22]

I'm in, I play Custom Nike Sumo 2s, a calloway 7 wood, titleist 60 54, no driver and the most important my scotty oil can newport 2.

 

[BioDriver]

I'm gradually making the transition over to all Ping (except my putter - Odyssey all day err day). I have very peculiar measurements so their dot and color systems have been a godsend.

Me and my trusty "True Temper" golf clubs get out once a year at my company's golf tournament. We just played Saturday where my teamates & I compared the size of my 1 wood with their modern clubs. Their sweet spot is bigger than my whole club. Eh, I spend my $$ on gear.

My dad's in the same boat but can still outdrive most of the people he plays with.

I used to play with a guy, back when I lived in LA, who would only use a 1 (maybe a 2) iron off the tee. And killed it.

 

[ThudThudThud]

I play 2-3 times a year, rarely (if ever) practice, and consequently I'm at the stage where I can consistently break 100...

I just play every hole as a par 5 these days. I figure that if I hit my 'par,' I'll play 90 for the round.

I have some knock-off Taylor Made Burner irons (which I had made for me - I'm 6'4"). The rest of my bag was made up with cast offs from my golf-obsessed brother-in-law who went through a phase of "if I buy new clubs, I'll play better..."
Mizuno Driver, Nike Sumo 3-wood, Nike 3-hybrid, nice wedges (53, 58, 60)...

Must have been God.


You know the old saying...
"only God can hit a 1 Iron."

I can attest, he was not Divine. I can also attest, he was REALLY good.

Pics of your bag and clubs?

 

[Broadstbully22]

Heres some crappy sideways cell phone pictures. Of my bag and of course my putter. Favorite club I own. Drive for show put for dough.

 

[BioDriver]

Broke 100 for the first time on Thursday Of course, these were the widest fairways I've ever seen (Republic Golf Course in San Antonio) so that probably helped

 

[tplyons]

So I joined our corporate golf league where we get discounted rates for playing 9 holes after work on Monday... I'm consistently pretty bad, but am improving. Now, I have a handicap capable of being calculated. Unfortunately, it's 30+.

I picked up some new clubs with my bonus in March... nowadays in my bag I have:
Driver ... Late 90's Big Bertha 10 degree
3 Wood ... Top Flite XL 3 Wood (last piece remaining from my beginner set)
Irons ... TaylorMade Burner 2.0 4-AW Steel Shafts
Pitching Wedge ... TaylorMade RAC 56 degree
Putter ... Odyssey White Ice Tour Bronze #1 Putter

 

[BioDriver]

...and how did I go from shooting 97 on Thursday to shooting 42 on a 9 hole par 3?! That's what I get for being excited :scowl:

I feel your pain.

Any one of you ever psych yourself out of being able to hit a club?

I've convinced myself I can't hit my Callaways. I stuck my old Hogan H40 oversized set back in the bag last night. We'll see how it goes.

 

[Bipslapper]

Big Yes. I can't hit my Taylor Made Tour Burner any more. I love my TM Burner 3 Wood, but the driver- not so much.

I even borrowed my buddies TM R9, which I like and inadvertandly backed over my golf bag last week and broke the shaft. Luckily it was just the shaft and not the head, but had to have it re-shafted and re-gripped :scowl:

Flying out to Mayacama, California (Santa Rosa) Friday to play some golf, hang out. Nervous to hack up the beautiful course. Wish I was a better golfer..... Fore! in advance

 

[MakiSupaStar]

If I can't ht it, I get rid of it.

 

[Kaa]

I'm going to hang onto the set, just till I get things worked out in my head. Played my Hogans for many years before I got the x22s, soi hopefully that will reset my brain for the clubs.
