I've always been a Cobra fan, so I'd have to stick with getting one of their new sets.

I would go with the Titleist 909 d2 with non stock shaft, would follow with the 909 fairway 3 wood with non stock shaft, not sure of the  Hybrids possibly Titliest 910h, not real sure about irons possible would try some GI Mizzuno's or possibly stick with Callaway and have better steel shafts put on X22s or some Razrs. Would try a Scotty Cameron Putter and would have a Sun Mountain 14 way stand bag. Would keep the Bridgestone e6's but would try some Pro V's out.

Money's no object, I'd own every set out there and try them all. Like Steve Elkington's garage.

I'd try Scratch and Miura before deciding.  At the moment, there's only one set I've tried that I like better than my MP-57s:  Nike's VR blades (last year's model).

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

I wouldn't change the current two sets of irons I play. Mizuno MP-67's and Miura Tournament Blades. I'm kind of bored with Drivers so happy with my old TM r7 CGB Max. My favourite club is my 3 wood, a Tour Edge Exotics XCG 3 with 13 deg loft. I really should use it more often off the tee. It's delightful though off the deck for second shots into par 5's.

You'd have more chance of making it happen if you spelt his name properly.

An excellent choice - a long history of championships and very simple and elegant design. I've owned quite a few sets of blades, representing most of the big brand names. The best "feeling" irons were and are my vintage Mizunos (hands down really) with Hogan and MacGregor being hit or miss depending on the vintage. When I tried to get into Wilson Staff blades, it was at a time when I was struggling with my swing, so I went another direction. The Mizunos really worked for me, but I think it was a coincidence, as I made the proper swing changes at about the same time.

Anyway, if money was no object, I'd probably stick with Cleveland. Their new tour blades really look (and feel) right to me. They're not the silkiest "feeling" (that would be something from Mizuno or Adams), but they go where I aim and I really like their grinds.

Good topic!!

+1 for Scratch and Miura with a slight edge to Scratch because of Don White and I would double up on irons 1-6 with both blades and cavities.  Not that I deserve these irons even if I had the "scratch"  multiple pun intended.

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
