My set came in yesterday.

 

It has a driver, 3 wood, 5 hybrid, 6-9 iron, PW and putter.

 

Definitely need to get a sand wedge, and you have a big gap between the 5 hybrid and 3 wood. Might want to keep an eye out for a 2 or 3 hybrid, though you are probably ok with that for the time being.

Yeah, I am still trying to figure out what I am doing consistently. I figure at some point I'll figure out what each club does and doesn't do for me. Right now I still have no clue and now that I have new clubs I need to re-calibrate.

Played yesterday at Cynthiana CC. Had a very boring, but nice round of 71. Made par on the last 12 holes. I've played that golf course hundreds of times and I don't think I've ever done that.

Looking forward to playing in their Invitational June 25-26. If anyone is interested in playing here's a link to the entry form.

Sadly, the putter is used WAY too often.

 

Sure it wasn't the "hand wedge"? :sssh:

I threw out a BIG number last night!:puke:

Many companies are making decent clubs these days, my only suggestion is make sure you have a well made and well balanced putter. This is the club that you'll use the most. You can shave many strokes off your score with good chipping and putting.

So, @PurplePride92, now that you have been bitten by the golf bug, when you going to come down to Wild Turkey Trace and let me treat you to a round?

That's what you WISH she said. :lol2: Yep, I went @lawildcat on you.:woot:

 

I copyright all of my material; you owe me 25 cents for that..:greedy:

That will happen tonight. It's Mrs. TAC's birthday. :sssh:

Absolute best thing you can do is spring for a short series of lessons. Doesn't matter if they're individual or in a group.

 

Much of golf is counter-intuitive. Hit down on the ball to get it airborne. If you hit it right/slice, don't aim left.

Still acclimating to the new clubs. For the first time in my life, I hit both a 3-wood and a 3-hybrid off the short grass with success (I really really like the Nike Covert 3-wood).Did have 2 birdies on the way to an 85 this morning from the forward tees. A triple and a double didn't help.

Agreed, and learn the game from the green back to the tee. If you can't hit a ten yard chip consistently, you shouldn't be trying to hit 100 yd shots. Biggest mistake that new players make.

Same way I learned back in the day.
