Reentering the world of the frustrating little white ball...

IDK what your budget is but I love my TaylorMade R7 XD Irons. Some of the best irons Ive ever played with.

i also own these. They are awesome. I have the R7 460 driver with a x-stiff shaft and a dual rescue #2 with the same shaft. Don't buy a putter until you hit a Rossa either...

I started playing golf two years ago. My golf score is still higher than my bowling score. And I'm not a bad bowler.

Most of my supplies that I don't buy from my pro I get at tgw.com. You can get a new set of Taylor Mades right now for about $350.

the equipment costs a s**tload, the rounds cost a s**tload.

no wonder i started playing disc golf instead. now i just have to figure out what to do w/ the small fortune in clubs i have in my garage.

i looked at that stuff the other day and then i looked at the piles of disc golf discs in the other corner and i calculated that all of my spare discs cost about as much as my wedges and my bag.

i usually pay $25 or under for 18 and a cart.

Get a job, you damned dirty hippie.

I could never get into golf seriously. It's occasionally fun when your drinking beers and not keeping score in a bachelor party atmosphere but every time I'd try to play seriously I kept thinking - ya know, I could be fly fishing.



Tough frustrating game though, kudos for trying to master.

i'm not much of a hippie anymore.

just got sick of paying exorbitant green fees.

besides, when i play disc golf, i can bring any cooler on the course that i want and i can fill it with beer brought from a store at fair price, compared to the "bend over and give me your wallet" routine when you buy beer at a pro shop.

Golf is like a sadist girlfriend - she'll rip your balls up, but you keep coming back for more. I'm the perfect shotgun partner - I can crush off the tee, then stumble my way through the rest. Case in point - I usually can drive a 300 yard green, then end up with a bogey+ due to my inept chipping/putting.

I ****ing love this bitch game.

no, i use teequest. I play where i can get a deal. My favorite place, even though the drive is crazy, is country creek in pleasant hill. Nice places (3 courses) and the people there are cool.

I pretty much quit playing golf after my daughter was born about 12 years ago, right after I had a set of clubs fitted for me (Taylormade knockoffs). Now, my kids think they want lessons and my wife has been approached by a friend about joining a local country club (the price is right).

I'm thinking about getting a different set of clubs, something designed for medium to high handicap. I know past of my budget ought to go towards lessons. Part of my thought process for getting clubs also is pretty superficial - if I'm going to be playing at a CC, I don't want to have some sucky knock-offs. I remember being the kid with the shoes that looked like the good shoes, and the ribbing I got as a kid, so under these circumstances, getting a decent set of clubs might be a good idea (yeah, I know the status-symbol thing is stupid, but I didn't say I was going to get the most expensive set I could find).

I know the Callaway Big Bertha irons might not be too bad of a choice, but I'd appreciate some suggestions.

I play and enjoy graphite Nike Sling shots(stiff). Try'em out. Also try out the hybrid clubs. Adams make nice hybrids, Nike, and Calloway does as well. It sounds like you aren't looking for blades, but for wedges I prefer the Cleveland CG14's and 10's.

Callaway Big Berthas would also be an easy club to hit, and find.

I use ebay alot, and www.golfwrx.com (they have a selling forum)

Don't throw your clubs and you won't have to worry about trying to FIND them.
