Here is what I USED to have:

Driver: $400

3-Wood: Free (won at a tournament)

Irons: 3-SW ($6,000--yes that is 3 zero's, actually it was a gift to my dad who did not want it so I played with it a few years--it was 4-star top of the line Honma)

Putter: Free (won at a tournament)

I replaced the irons with Mizuno MP-68 because Honma irons--while great--was a little to light for me.

My current set:

Everything is same, except for

Irons (3 to PW): $900

3-Wedges: $330

Total: $1630

Nothing wrong with the Acuity wedges.  I gave my Acuity Gap Wedge to my brother (a pretty decent player who breaks 80 on occasion) and it's his favorite wedge/club in the bag.  He's got a Vokey LW and a MacGregor MT Pro-M PW and he hardly ever hits them, just prefers the grind and heavy feel of the Acuity wedge.

It's  a great wedge, no doubt. I've been hitting it pretty solidly lately. I just don't like the weight of it. I feel like I have to really limit my swing so I don't over-shoot it. Just a preference thing.

When I originally bought my set about 15-20 years ago, I think the full set ran about $2,000.  Back then I purchased a full set of Callaway War Bird irons 3-PW, SW, AW, LW.  I started the replacement of my old set with a Callaway Heaven Wood (7).  Then I bought a 3 Wood, then a driver then a 5 Wood.  I think I bought the irons in between the 3 & 5 woods.

Three years ago I replaced my driver with a Diablo 406cc driver.  That ran around $200.  I later bought a new 3 & 7 wood (Diablo) for about $150 each.  I also bought an Odyssey putter for around $100.  With my irons, I just replaced the grips with factory grips that I did myself.

I know that totals up to 16 clubs but I dropped the 5 wood completely and usually take the 7 wood over the 3 iron.  I've been looking at hybrid irons but can't afford them right now.

I replaced 12 of 14 clubs this year. The 7 & 9 woods are from my older bag.

TM R11 driver (used) $100

Ping G15 4 wood (used) $99

Callaway Steelhead Plus 7 & 9 woods (used $15 each) $30

Ping G15 irons 5 through gap wedge (new) $300

Callaway sand wedge (new) $100

Titleist lob wedge (used) $50

Ping B60 putter (new) $65

Total $744

Not too bad considering I've got a really solid set that I'm very happy with. Now if I had to replace them and pay retail I would have to cough up $1797.00

Then there is the cost of bags, balls, tees, gloves, shoes, spikes, grips, shag bags, training aids, push carts, umbrellas, clothing, gps, towels, etc, etc, etc. Damn this is an expensive sport!

Second post here, but I've been reading this site for a while.  My bag is my most cherished possession so no dollar amount would do, but in the real world here's what I paid:

Nike SQ Dyno 9.5 Driver      $50 on eBay

Maxfli Black 3 Wood          ~$30 from my starter set

Nike ProCombo Irons 3-P     $520 on eBay

Nike SV 52/56/60 Wedges    $0 gift from best friend

Scotty California Monterey    $0 gift from best friend

Nike Cart Bag                      $140 from Dicks Sporting Goods

So about $740....not too bad considered it'd cost me over $2,000 retail.

Hmm, after reading my first post, things still look pretty much the same.

I bought my club's demo model. I has a nice fat skymark on it but the white paint hides it fairly well.

    • This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score
    • Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

    • Things that I am or have worked on... 1.    Trail Elbow - Check 2.    Hip Turn - Check 3.    Rolled Inside - Check 4.    Wide Takeaway - Check 5.    Sway and Tilt - Nope, but I did a hip turn and tilt 🤣 I am giving myself 4.5/5 for my long backswing.  Great post! 
    • We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
