I'm just getting back into the game again too, not as big of a gap as you though. I played back in elementary school, but haven't played since the summer after Grade 8. I'm 20 now, but one of the ranges just opened up a couple weeks ago and I've gone a few times. I picked up a used set of TaylorMade Firesole Woods and Burner LCG Irons. Had a couple Goliath (Canadian clone company) wedges, and I just bought a Yes Callie Forged Putter. I'll be looking to get a new driver this season, and possibly some wedges, but it just feels good to hit a ball again, and surprisingly they haven't been too bad haha.

None of the courses have opened up yet, but hopefully they will next week...but it just snowed a bit an hour ago...

I was never a great golfer, but I'm going to be going to the range a lot this year and put some effort in.

Momma's hit one golf shot in her life and hit someone in the head with it. I haven't fluffed or chili dipped a chip yet. Of course, the grass isn't very tall and I try to keep it on the ground so I don't get very many of those anyway. To the par 3 course!

I just came back as well, not quite a fifteen year break but it feels like it. A few of my clubs have gone missing too, gives me a good excuse to get a few new sticks I just can't wait to fill out my set and get out on the course! I'm sure a few weeks on the practice tee will do me some good though.

I was an avid golfer (27 holes and the driving range every week April thru September) from 1978 through 1993. Played with Wilson Pro Staff forged and MacGregor Persimmons.

Started up again last summer and took a lesson last week. I'm still intimated with all the new technology.

I'm not enaromoured wtih driver heads the size of pumpkins, irons that look like shovels, tees that are four inches tall and putters that look like Star Trek props.

I like the "stand" bag, it's nice having to not switch zip codes when I bend down to get a club. And then there's the GPS. I still can't believe the USGA made this nonsense legal.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
