Hello from it's not raining now but will be soon Bellingham, Washington.

What a great site, I stumbled across it goggling which loft wedges people recommended and found some very useful information. I can't wait to dig further into the website. I can feel this is the year I break 90.

My home course is North Bellingham Golf Course, nice little links style as long as the wind isn't blowing to hard.

I look foward to chatting.

Cheers,

Hi and Welcome too!

I'm so new, I can't even ask my question yet... it's killing me!

It has started to Thaw here in Minneapolis, MN... and it is going to be a long wait for the greens to open!

I just got some new equipment... finally with 14 potential clubs in my bag!

Nike SQatch Lucky 13 driver (yep, I'm a newbie and got a great deal on it used)
Wilson 3 and 5 woods... from a junk shop, pretty beat but not bad, they came with my recently retired Wilson Junk Shop Irons (heavy used, oversized perimeter weighted) The 4 and 8 irons where missing, making the set less useful.
Brand New lightly Used Wilson Staff Pi5 Irons 3-PW (very happy after one trip to the golfdome)
(3iron is going to get replaced with a Hybrid fast)
Adams Sand Wedge
Wilson Syncronized Lob Wedge
Landlords forgotten Lost&Found; in Basement Jack Nicklaus Putter... I want to replace it with an Anser clone of some sort.

You will learn more about my equipment when I can start a thread... I got some serious questions for you all!
Bag: Broken down junk shop special
Driver: SQatch Lucky 13
Woods: Generic 3 and 5
Hybrid: ... Shopping
Irons: Pi5 3-PWSW: LW: HarmonizedPutter: blade... oldie but goodieBalls: Laddie Extreme

    • I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills. 
    • You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized. 
    • 32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
    • Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
