We have a club team at my school (first year actually). Tryouts are this weekend, but I'm too far from home to get my clubs. We can rent clubs, but I'm not sure I like that idea. I play with longer clubs fit for me and my swing. I also know my distances pretty well with my clubs when used with my preferred ball (ProV1). The putter would be another issue entirely. So, I think I'm just going to wait until spring since that's when the actual season starts. Fall is just "practice". That way, I'll have my clubs. And I can practice during winter break (about a month). I took a lesson right before I came to college and I haven't been able to practice the new swing changes yet, so I think waiting is a good idea.

Opinions?

i think waiting until the spring would be a good idea. First impressions mean alot; esp. when you are not only looking at representing yourself but the school as well.

Most college teams are Europeans with anti-handicaps. I was talking to one guy the other day and he was saying that his visa had expired but he can stay if he continues playing professional golf. Not a bad gig, I said. He said he had just finished a round and shot 67. Flip the 6 upside down and you get my score, i told him.

If you get on the team though, I would imagine that would be a great way to improve your game they are ALWAYS practicing when I'm at the club.

    • that is an excellent approach. I did that with my last set. I made a few 7 irons from different heads and shafts. Getting a feel for how they play on the course is the right idea. Let us know how it goes.
    • I’m glad the USGA booted some of the hecklers. It’s getting out of hand. I wish the networks wouldn’t mic the crowd to give those idiots a platform.
    • New member here, and I have decided to upgrade my clubs. I have been playing for a long time but these last 10 years I have had to put four kids through college. So I've played a few rounds a year and some years have not played at all. I am currently playing Titleist 716 AP2's with Rifle 6.5 steel shafts and Winn grips. I used to hit my 7 iron around 165 yds until just 5 years ago. I turned 62 this year and noticed I can barely get my 7 iron to 145 yds. I went for a fitting to try out some new player distance irons. I don't think I need game improvement irons because I'm pretty straight and rarely try to work a ball (if I'm working a ball, then I most definetely did something wrong to get there). I tried a bunch of irons (Callaway, Mizuno, PXG, Taylormade, Srixon, Ping, and Titleist) and I kept coming back to the Ping and Titleist. They just felt right and really looked good when lining up a shot. The Ping, by far, went the longest of all the irons. The Titleist was a close second in distance. Both felt buttery smooth through impact. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with these irons. I was getting 160 yds with a nice smooth swing (81 mph swing speed). I know I'm asking a lot of my clubs but my last fitting was 27 years ago and I ended up with some Cleveland TA3's or TA2's forged irons with Dynamic Gold S300 (swing speed 87 mph). I really love the feel of my AP2's and the place I'm going to purchase from is going to make a 7 iron in both Ping and Titleist for me to test on real grass. I'm pretty certain it's going to be either one. They're both identical in price for a set of 5-PW. I'm going to forego a 4 iron and get another 4 hybrid to go along with my 3 hybrid. Any and all replies are welcome.
    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.
