I just played with a junior that was one of the top players on the highschool golf team last year and he said I should have no problems getting on and that I have a beautiful swing. My dad told me that he will let me have his old clubs if I make the golf team. He has a set of Ben Hogan Apex blades (98-02) but they are graphite and 2* upright. Since the first day of my tryouts were canceled, we went to Golf Galaxy to mess around a bit. I was checking out the used section and saw a set of the same Hogans in steel (Apex 4) and a nice set of MP-33s. I took a 7-iron from each and hit them on the launch monitor. The Mizunos felt really nice and I was hitting them pretty decently, but the Hogans were just fantastic. there was a flag placed at 150 yards out and my shots were all flying within 5 yards of the pin and, all carry, finishing up between 149 and 151 yards (and I'll probably get another 10-15 yards after I get to start playing again for a few weeks because it has been so damn cold up here!). And they cost $150 for the set.

So assuming I make my team, should I go with the used store set or get my dad's clubs adjusted and reshafted for me?

Also if buy a set of clubs from Golf Galaxy, do they do free lie angle checks and adjustments?

Thank You, your opinions will be very valuable to me.

hogan apex are not only great clubs but saying the name hogan seems to manifest great shots

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

I would buy the used set becaue as stated above it will likely cost you more than $150...plus if you buy from them they will likely adjust the clubs to your liking free or at some discount (haven't purchased from Golf Galaxy, just assuming that is what they would do).
In the bag:


Driver: Tour Burner 9.5* w/ Aldila VS Proto stiff shaft
Woods: Burner 15* 3 Wood w/ Fujikura, stiffHybrid: 503H w/ Aldila NV, stiffIrons: 755 3-9 w/ Project X 5.5 shaftsPitching Wedge: MP-T 47*Gap Wedge: MP-T 51*Sand Wedge: MP-T 56*Putter: Rossa SienaBall: Laddie/Laddie...

Sounds to me like you may have found what works best for you right off the bat. Some of us have to search for years to find the right ones. Congrats.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.
