FOUR!!! From New Jersey

[the_kid]

Hello,

My name is Paul I am from Morris County, NJ. I'm 22 years old , I dispatch for a Police Department hoping to become a Police Officer soon. I haven't got into golf too seriously until the last couple years but I've been playing since I was about 14. I never used to keep track of my handicap because I was too lazy to enter it in the computer but this year I have 4 scores entered so far. I usually shoot between 86-94 consistently but have only shot in the 90's once this year.
I hope to expand my knowledge of the game from reading this forum and excited I found this place! My goals for this year is to practice and break 80 at some point.

In my bag:

Driver: Taylor Made Tour Burner - 9.5
Irons: Ping i3 - 3-P
Sand wedge: Ping i2
Putter: Odyssey White Hot 2Ball

Another one of my goals is to buy a 60 degree wedge and a 3 wood. I think that will improve my game.

I look forward to reading the endless knowledge here!

Welcome.

I know you say you have a goal to add a 3 wood and 60* wedge, but I think, based on what you're currently gaming, you would benefit a lot more from a 3 and/or 4 hybrid than from a 60. I gamed a 60 for years, then finally switched to a 58 and always liked having it. However, when I bought my last set of irons I switched to a 56* SW and I find I really do not need a lob wedge. Good hybrids will improve your game more than a 60 will for sure. I know the long irons in the i3's are not the easiest clubs in the world to hit consistently well.

I never thought of picking up a hybrid. You're right my low irons are hard to hit consistantly ...especially my 3 iron. So you are saying to go for a 3 hybrid and don't go with a 60? Thanks for the input already!

Go to a demo day and find out which 3/4/5 woods and hybrids, you hit the best off the grass consistently. This will drop your scores even more. You are definitely playing good golf with scores like that. I play a tp wedge, 54* bent to 57*, and hit it well.
