Got an old set of LH 'Burke' clubs and McGregor leather bag from neighbor for $10.... just in case I decide to play

To start things off, I have a Callaway Big Bertha Hawkeye.

Then I usually turn to my Ping Zing clones (Several proshop guys have told me they are the best Ping knockoffs they've ever seen) I have a 1-3W but usually only carry the 3-3W

A generic putter that I preffer to even the better brands - I just like the feel of it.

And last summer I picked up a Wilson 4 Wood out of a bin of clubs at the local thrift store for $2. I've always prefered the feel of real wood off the fairways and it seems like you can't find them new much anymore. I'll play this one until the wrap comes loose and the club breaks. Then I'll go back to my tightlies while I look for another one.



As for balls, I have found a brand that is really cheap but work good for me. I get them at some of the pro-shops around here. I think they are made by Ranger and come in white/red but sometimes I can get yellow/red. They seem to come in bulk and usually run me about $3.50 for 3-4 dozen - one purchase usually lasts me most of a season.

my newest driver is a taylor made R7460, have not got to swing it much before winter but love it. the rest of my clubs are snake eyes, 1-9 irons & all 3 wedges. the best part is my cart, bright red club car with a yellow seat & top, with chiefs stickers all over it. oh and yellow wheels too. you really see me coming down the fairway

I use Adams Tite-Lies originals. A 13 degree and a 16 degree. I can hit them from anywhere. Of course I use my 8 degree from the tee.

Friggin' snow.

Orlimar driver, 3w and 5w.

Innovex irons 5 through 64* lob wedge.
Wilson 3,4 hybrid irons. I love these. It took a couple of season's work to learn how to hit them properly, but these clubs have helped me immensly.

Odyssey 2 ball putter. (meh)

Precept U-tri or Laddie Exreme. Late last year I found what I would call a very good 'value ball'. The Wilson Smart Core. Found them on sale for $4.99 (24 pack). These balls were so good for me I went back and bought 3 more packages.

Three surgeries this winter? Holy smokes Joe. Fusion surgeries?

A few years back (8 or so) I bought a set of clubs from some guy. They are basically an off-brand that I bought to use while I learned to lay, before dropping tons of money on nicer clubs. I spent a couple of years teaching myself to play (against the advice of anyone who I had ever discussed it with).
But the "teaching myself" thing has never worked out real well (surprise!). This year, my wife and I are finally going to invest in some lessons. We'll see how those work out, and I may upgrade to an actual brand of clubs.

Karsten III Woods

ping zing putter.

Same with me, minus the whole future lessons thing. I got a bag of misc. clubs from my old boss a few years ago. My three wood has seen better days at this point. On the fourth of July two years ago my buddy decided to tee off on a couple of balls in the still-full stadium parking lot after a semi-pro baseball game. Luckily, he was too drunk to hit the ball but my club has some severe damage which resulted from repeated contact with the asphalt.

I actually have 2 sets of no-name clubs. My father and I went a few years without ever getting along. Once we started to get along, and respect each other a lot more, I bought him a new set of clubs so we could learn together how to play. Then a month later he died. Never got to play one round with him. We just went to the driving range once.

12 pack of beer...

Still a couple of slots left open in the bag for some other clubs as needed, but it looks like a pretty good start to me.

Anything I can find for under 20 bucks.

congrats! Not bad at all, IMO

Oh, and I'm gonna hit the range on Thursday to figure my effin driver out, and maybe trash it altogether for my 3W, then play a round on Friday morning.
