Thanks for all the feedback. I was disappointed in the customer service, but I knew it was the "bad manager" that I was dealing with. The good one that got me a good deal will be there tomorrow, so I will try to discuss it with him too. Hoping to get some kind of refund since those clubs won't do me any good, and I've only had them for 6-7 weeks. The only reason I go to that store (which is 15 miles away) is because of that "good" manager, and I am seriously reconsidering it because of this "bad one". For wedges, there was a good deal on Cleveland CG14s, so i got a 52, 56, and 60. I actually bought them from that same store. I like your suggestion on the 3W. I will pick one up soon, and then see how I play with the 4 and 5 irons (if I end up getting those irons). I will hold off on the hybrids for now. Thanks for all the feedback. I really appreciate the recommendations and suggestions in this thread.

I after reading your post, i was going to suggest going back when the "good" manager is there and give him the low down on whats going on...   I mean I have a cheap set of Dunlap golf clubs that i bought a couple years ago from MC Sports and they still work fine....   I dont use them anymore cuz my brother gave me his hand me down Wilson Deep Red's, when he upgraded to some Titleist's AP's

Now as for hybrids, the question is how are you hitting your long irons now???    I myself suck at hitting long irons, and picked up a 3 & 4 nike VRS hybrids from Golf Galaxy that was on clearance plus a good discount lol... and then i also picked up a 5 hybrid TaylorMade for 70$$   And the difference between my 5 hybrid and 5 iron is unreal...

Now when i picked up my 5 hybrid, which i bought first... i asked the guy what it actually replaces...and he said, depending on the loft, usually it replaces 1 club up... so i could ditch my 4 iron for the 5 hybrid.. So i still keep my 5 iron in my bag.

It is what it is

I hit my 6 iron pretty well, but I have never tried a 5 or lower iron. Hear the lower irons can be tough, so will be spending a lot of time with the 3 4 and 5 when I get them. I will have the 3 tomorrow, so will give an update then.

yea your long irons, 2-3-4's can be very tough.... hence why you see guys using hybrids..

usually your mid to high irons  5-9 are a lot easier to hit....

as for the 3 wood...  if your looking for some good fairway woods, look at the Tour Edge Exotics..

It is what it is

Good news. Called the good manager this morning, and he said he will honor their 30 playability policy even though its been longer than 30 days. Said they will give me credit for whatever I paid for it to be used towards a better set. He said he wants customers to be happy with whatever they buy from his store, since he wants his customers to return. Ive already bought 3 other clubs (cleveland wedges) and extended and put new grips on 9 clubs from that store. Plan to spend much more at their store, since the "good" manager has been very nice to me since I walked in.

Glad there was a happy ending. What style wedge did you get?

      A Novice Journey to Building a Bag. (Help Appreciated)

      By retoid ·

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By snapfade ·

      I would think that 3 in a row with the same players might get some behind the scenes examination from the SCGA if they were suspect.  Are there any clubs questioning the results?

      What simple fact? A golf match is not a coin flip — there is a fact for you. I'm trying to help you, and you're throwing out what could easily be called sour grapes. Come with FACTS, not weak analogies. Then you've got nothing. Hopefully they've done a better job of making their case. 😛

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      It's pretty close. The odds of a 50/50 shot going your way 21 times are greater than 1 in a million!  I guess your point is, that simple fact is not enough to declare these guys dirty rotten sandbaggers. I disagree, but fair enough. I posted it here on the message board to get different perspectives, after all.  I probably won't be digging further into specific scores. I have no dog in this fight beyond a generalized contempt for sandbagging. With that said, it would not surprise if a lot of clubs shared my concern and were grousing about it to the SCGA.
