Where do I begin... My bag is quickly becoming out of date, as it's still got a large Wilson logo on it, but I have no Wilson clubs in the bag. I'm looking at the Ogio Grom Copper Check bag, and I was wondering if you know of any bags that are very convenient and stylish?

My irons, Taylormade r7s, need to be updated as well. I'm looking at the Cleveland CG7's, hopefully my local pro can come through on his discounted price. Are there any irons similar to the CG7's that you could recommend, or what irons would you recommend to a mid handicapper? (I'll be selling the Taylormade r7s if anyone wants to PM and buy them)

My fairway wood is quickly becoming obsolete amongst my other clubs as well, because as of now I can hit my 5 iron farther that the wood, the feel is horrible. I was looking at the HiBore XLS 5 wood, which the local pro also agreed on a discount on. Any recommendations on the fairway wood? I'm looking for a very forgiving, and high spin wood.

Lastly, my driver is the least of my worries. Although I bought it used, when the money is right, I would like to buy a HiBore XLS Driver. Although if anyone could recommend a driver to a mid-handicap small kid, that'd be fantastic too.

It's safe to say my next paycheck will be annihilated.

Thanks!

P.S.
I'm sorry if some of this thread makes no sense, it's 3:00 AM on a school night and I'm absolutely delirious.

It does sound as if you have the fever for new gear.

I can only sympathize as I've been bitten by that bug before as well.

Good luck!!!!

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
