A few years ago everytime something new came out, at least one of the guys had to get the newest thing and rub it in our faces. I'm a lefty so for me to try them I had to buy them. Because of that I tried Cobra, Ping (old ones), Ping (newer ones), Taylor Made and Calloway. Most of them ended up on craigslist after a while but I kept going back to the old Pings.

The last new set I bought was Calloway X-20 a couple of years ago. Now

I've only got a couple of sets now and last year I only played with the Ping Zings. I can hit them better than any of the others.

Unless they come up with technology that straightens out your swing I think I've now got with the set I'm going to play in Heaven with.

Callaway Driver (I have a 2yr old one now)
Ping Fairway woods (about 10 yrs old)
Ping Zing Irons (over 20 years old
Titleist Vokey Wedge (new)
Don't laugh - Carbite Polar Balance Putter (about 5 yrs old)

What's funny is this set is not a lot of money. Shelly's got a Scotty Cameron putter thats worth almost as much as my entire set!

It doesn't take a lot of money to play golf if you do it right. After4 pm most of the year you can walk for $6.00 on the one close to my house.

I met a kid who grew up across the street from the course. He had an old wooden driver about the size of a walnut, two BLADE irons and a putter. No bag, he just carried them in his hand. He joined us and shot par. He said he played at least twice a week for $6 or less since he was 8 yrs old.

I think golf at least twice a month should be required law. (oops, Shelly just popped me in the back of the head for that one.)

lol my fiancee hates that i play so much. i usually play with my younger brother who isnt a better golfer but a way longer hitter. he has hit a green on a 352yd par 4 and that makes me a little timid when playing with him but he is a horrible putter! dont let him know i said that!!:D but i once, a couple years ago, made the mistake of saying the clubs suck. well, he took my clubs and out shot me in the long game the rest of the day. so the morral of the story is, clubs dont suck only the people using them!!:D
 
Tony--

Is that your wife in the third pic? Nice work brother.

Haven't played much of late, got into the mid-80's and that's about it. Good with irons, bad off the tee. I've got Big Bertha irons which are still in great shape, and Callaway drivers. Funny thing is though, my fav club is a BigBertha knock-off 56deg sand wedge my dad made me. I am more comfortable with that club than any other. I always had a good short game and was really bad off the tee.

I forgot about the Pro V-1's Gotta have those for the BITE! I couldn't hit those x-20s, I think I got too stiff of shafts

She took lessons from Kevin and is slowly improving. She's good with the irons, but inconsitent driving. But I agree, she does look good doing it. :p

Mid 80's is great! Those are good clubs. I was really bad off the tee till I learned to SLOW DOWN then it got better.

That is my wife Shelly. My son Chris plays too. His mentor is Happy Gilmore. His driver has dents in it.:D
 
I try to play golf every Tuesday and Thursday. Unless I have too much work lined up then I will work on Tuesday and still golf on Thursday. My normal scores are from 85 to 95 on my home 18-hole course. Great game! Hugh
 
used to be a golfer

working 3rd shift (11pm-7am) and being single i was able to play all the golf i wanted. a group of us would play a few times during the week and then the other days i would usually practice. my handicap got as low as a 2 and my best round was a 66 (32-34, par 72). i have made 4 holes in one but my first one was before i could break 100. i traded in my golf for a good woman and a beautiful little girl and never regretted it. i still play when i can but instead of daily it is probably monthly. as someone once said, "golf is like sex. you don't have to be good at it to enjoy it."
