  1. I'm a newbi from Phoenix, home of year-round golf. I own a retail wine and gourmet food store and golf several times per week. My home club is the 500 Club. Looking forward to chatting with you all
  2. I agree with Erik that when you get under 8 or 9 its all from 100 yards and in. But I especially agree that course management is highly underrated. I'm guessing I took 4-5 strokes off just by getting a ittle help with club selection and strategy. Everyone wants to boom it off every tee, but it's not necessarily the best strategy for lower scores. Good luck... phill
  3. I play a Ping Rapture, mostly because my pro sold it to me cheap. It took a while to get the shaft right as the stock UST909D was not right for my swing. But with a Aldila VS65 stiff it really flies. With an Aldila VS Proto 65 it flies even farther. While I'm not entirely sold on Ping, this one seems to work well.
  4. I use a new Cleveland 56 degree with zip grooves. I just changed out a Cleveland that was getting a little old. I really like it because it's very flexible in sand, turf, and for a cool little dead-hand shot around greens that need a lot of spin.
  5. I recently tried a Magique Hybrid to replace my 3 iron because I didn't want top spend a lot to check it out. I like it a lot and will probably geta better hybrid soon. They sure are easy to hit...
  6. I've been playing irregularly for many years. I never got my index below 10. This last year I took it up again at 54 years old. I played for awhile and took 1 or 2 lessons. Mostly I practiced a lot to get the feel back. One of the biggest things I believe was to first get my swing analysed to see what kind of shafts and what lie/loft was appropriate. Then I replaced my iron shafts so they were all the same. same flex, same kick, etc. and had the club heads tweasked for my swing. Kind of expensive but it took my previous 10 down to a 7 right away. More analysis of driver shaft and 2 lessons for driver, putting and greenside play took it to 5.4. In my Cheap Calloway Bag: Driver: Ping Rapture 10.5 with aldila VS65 Stiff Fairway: Ping G5 3 wood with aldila VS65 Stiff Hybrid; Magique 3 Irons: Cleveland TA1 Forged Musclebacks Wedges: Cleveland Forged Putter: Old Ray Cook Blue Ray
