:titleist: 915 D2 Driver with 9.5 loft and a 50 gram Diamana shaft - tested it thoroughly beforehand and had it professionally fitted, including adding four layers on the standard grip and adjusting it to full draw (D3) on the Titlesit SureFit settings . Expensive, but a good investment, since I get on average 30 yards more with the lighter shaft and lower loft (translating into a lower, more penetrating trajectory) than my previous old stallwart, a 913 D2 10.5 w/ standard 60 gram shaft. Walked out the pro shop a happy old gilmore :beer:

Finally upgraded my irons, at the behest of instructor who said, dude, just get new irons dammit, paraphrasing. Titleist AP1s. Will go from using 1990 irons (Titleist DCI 962) to 2014 irons, two and a half decades of iron tech advances in one go. And I just put new grips on the old irons, oh well. I still think it's the indian, not the arrow, but grudgingly admit the arrow is pretty darn important.

I like the AP1s. Easy to hit and launch.

I buy golf balls from Walmart mart.  I actually fear going into the Edwin watts and pga superstore here.  I’m afraid of what I might buy.  That said, last time I got a used 50 degree gap wedge. It has been excellent.

Went to the LV Golf Super Store. Bought a tennis racquet for my Granddaughter's birthday.

Her and her boyfriend are gravitating away from golf, and taking up tennis. I have a cousin who is a very good tennis teaching pro, who is going to work with her. 

Personally not happy with her change, as she was just beginnig to break 90 on a regular basis from my tees.

Did the same thing quite a while back for another Granddaughter. That was also the last time I was in this, or any other actual "golf store"....

In My Bag:
A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

It should work well for these early spring/late winter rounds (and the rounds in the fall).

    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
