Hi,

I'm a fairly new golfer (started in 2008 and currently at 19.1 hcp). I'm 27 years old and in quite good physical shape. My standard ball-flight is a medium-high draw.
My average/expected length with the long clubs are as follows:

Driver: ~270 yards
Hybrid, 18°: ~220 yards
4-iron: ~200 yards

On some courses I regulary play, I often miss a club between the hybrid and 4-iron on long par 3:s. I really like hitting my 4-iron, which I feel gives more control compared to the hybrid. So my plan is to try and get a 3-iron for my set. Since I have 4 wedges, that would get my a total of 14 clubs. However I often feel (especially on par 5:s) that I would benefit from a longer club below the driver. I'm thinking of replacing the 18° Cobra hybrid with either a 16° Cobra Baffler TWS or even better a Titleist 909H 15°. With the two latter, can I expect hitting at least 230-235? I feel hybrids are easier to hit from the FW compared to a 3-wood, however I have not tested hybrids with a lower loft that 17° before.

Thanks for any tips!
Driver: Titleist 909D2 9.5°, Aldila Voodoo X-flex
Hybrids: Titleist 909H 15° & 21°, Aldila Voodoo S-flex
Irons: Cobra FP II, 4I-GW, NS Pro 1030H S-flex
Wedges: Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 56°/14° and 60°/4°

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
