Thanks for all the help guys! Great suggestions and exactly what I am looking for.

Good choice on set-up (3W, 19 hybrid and a 60* wedge. You may want to try the following other brands: 3 Wood: Ping G10 15.5* very easy to hit, would even act as your 2nd driver for the short and tight par 4s or as your second shot on those long par 5s. Great off both the tee and on the deck. Hybrids: G10 18* if you can hit the above then you can definitely hit these. Clevelan Hibore XL 19* - the most workable hybrid i've owned. I can't be bothered by its newer brother the xls -this stays in the bag. Its definitely a go to club off the tee, bad lies on the deck and even around the greens. the plus side is that its already on sale (check out global golf etc.) On your question on wedges' shaft - steel of course- there is no substitute for control. What "other club" to get? You can: 1) Get a 22* hybrid to fill in gap between your 18* hybrid and 4 iron (but you may find out while on the course- you may not need to cover those gaps a lot of the times). or 2) 52* Gap wedge to help you with those in between PW and SW shots. And oh- don't mind my set in my sig, am probably almost 2x your age, a weekend golfer and love to play around with my wood-hybrids combination (after my 3w i have an 18* 5W, a 19* hybrid ansd a 22* hybrid iron) these are what work for me. I used to have a wedge set (52*, 56* and 60*) shelve them (except the 60* which doubles as my SW)and learned to play chip and run with my hybrid, my 7 and 9 irons. One of these days either the 5W or the 22* hybrid iron will go for a vactaion.

Short of a local rule stating otherwise, yes.

For obvious reasons, you aren't allowed this in 5-club tournaments.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
