Let the record show that a boy of age 14 won his local tournament. 1st place :D

I walked in with confidence, and I did just fine. As opposed to the more nervous people, who's nervousness led to ill-turning shoulders and tight muscles.

I'm pretty excited. It wasn't anything big, but I'm just glad I won. The 1st place prize was like a box of balls. Taylormade Burner LDP balls. They didn't do big prizes because we're only young ages, and a little older. (Which I think is unfair. If we're gonna play, treat us if we're serious.)

But yeah, I'm pretty psyched

They do the small prize so you can remain an amateur. If you get a big prize you are considered a "professional." That means you can't play high school or college golf.

You can win $750 in pro shop merchandise in one tournament and retain your amateur status

I'm almost twice your age and I would be happy with a 9 over :)

Really I'm not sure if we even have a junior tour where I live. I'm in South Carolina. If I was in Myrtle Beach, maybe they'd have alot of Junior things, because golf is pretty serious, but I'm just in quiet ol' lexington. We just have little tourneys here and there. This was just a local tournament at my golf club.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By M2R · Posted

      I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.
