I played 18 at the club yesterday and must have left my 8 iron behind....found out on the third hole today when I reached for it and it was gone...... It hasn't been returned yet....and yes I know it's early but I have to prepare for the worst as I have 3 important matches/tournaments in the next 3 weeks.

I play Mizuno MP57's. My 4 and 5 iron are Mizuno MX-25's (a little more forgiveness). My choices from what I can see are:

1) Don't worry about it and just choke up on a 7 iron a bit.

2) Throw in the MX-25 8 iron I have for the time being (same loft as the mp57)

3) Roll up in the fetal position and cry my eyes out since my 8 iron was my favorite club!

I used my 8 iron more than most other clubs as I not only used it from 135-150 out but I LOVED using it for bump and runs.

HELP!!

BTW.....if you have a spare MP57 8 iron kicking around that you don't need...I'll take it...SERIOUSLY!

What's in my bag:
Superquad Driver
19* and 22* Rescue Hybrids
4-PW MP 57 Irons
CG14 52* Gap Wedge CG12 56* SW CG12 60* Lob Wedge CO3-hI push them around with my Linksmen X-7 cart.

For now, I'd throw in the 8 iron from the MX25 set and hope that yours gets turned in. If it doesn't show up in a week or two look to ironfinder, eBay, or something like that to replace it.

Get another MP-57 8-iron off one of those club finder websites. Don't want to be missing your go to club when those matches come around. Until you get the replacement you can use your MX-25's. If someone turns in the 8-iron then now you can use one of them to practice with to your heart's content without the worries of wearing it down.

you probably used the 8 iron after a greenside chip ...... didn't you ...... maybe a great help in stopping using the 8 iron for such shots ...... I am kind of a sucker to keep on playing these shots with a 8 iron, loosing it would maybe force me to use the 58* on all shots and vary using only one club for these shots......

But like the others said, buy your self a replacement through any of these websites, and besides that I can imagine any Mizuno dealer can order a new 8i without any problem as Mizuno will for sure be able to replace your 8i MP-57 .........

Buttttttttttt ...... this might be your chance convincing the wife that you really need to buy the MP-62 or MP-68 set ........

This seems like solid thinking!

      Back in my Army days a "gooch" was a particular part of the anatomy. Example, say Okeechobee is the b-hole of Florida, then Belle Glade would be the gooch. Seems he wears his name well.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DaveP043 ·

      I can't say that I remember a lot of individual putts, but I do have one specific memory.  The first time I played the Old Course, I had hit a pretty good drive on the 6th hole.  I had about 60 yards left, and due to the swale in front of the green, there was no chance of flying a wedge on or near the green and having it stop on the green.  My caddie recommended either a running 7-iron chip or a putt, and I took the putter and a pretty hard swing.  The ball rolled over humps and through hollows, disappeared into the swale in front of the green, and re-appeared heading right at the hole.  I ended up maybe 12 feet away.  The caddie turned and held out his hand to shake mine, and said "Now THAT was a golf shot!"

      For the first time since 2021, I made a 3 on the 12th at Stoneleigh.    395 yards, something like 80 feet uphill, I hit a solid drive and a 7-wood to inside a foot.  Even I couldn't miss that one.  I feel like I haven't played a lot of golf this year, but I'm making decent progress.
