If he doesn't mind using your 7i, which probably doesn't match his set, then any 7i will probably do. Like everyone else has said, get one for cheap and make both of you happy.

For the OP maybe just getting his pop-in-law a 7i is a little too sensitive (i.e. could be interpreted as being annoyed--which the OP is, but still you'd rather not have your father-in-law know). I'd agree that a whole set of new irons as a gift (perhaps from his wife, or from his mother-in-law) is a good answer. And i'm guessing he's not picky about clubs, you could find a brand new set of 1-2 year old model GI irons for <$200 on clearance (i.e. Rockbottomgolf or other sites).

Driver: Cleveland Classic 270, 10.5*

I'm happy to say that I received a text today from the old man stating he's buy new irons this week. Maybe I'll borrow his new 7 iron next time we play... lol.

Thanks for all the informative, entertaining and odd responses to this thread!!!

So here's the deal. I play with my father-in-law every weekend and he does not carry a 7 iron in the bag so he asks about 5-6 per round to borrow it. I didn't mind at first, but now it's getting annoying especially on par 3's when I use the same club (he always has to hit first.... prefers 3 hour rounds). I'm starting to wonder if this is bad golf etiquette? I've sarcastically told him I'm going to start charging a convenience fee every time he uses it.... that didn't work. I'm in a tough spot because it's family, but for christ's sake buy a 7 iron or a new set!!! What would you guys do?

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy him a new one.

I'd say find an old sock from a hybrid or something like that and put in on your 7I. Then put the 7I behind your big clubs (i.e. Driver, Wood(s), or Hybrid(s)).

Hopefully he won't notice it, and if he does ask you for it, just say you forgot it.

Hilarious... but that's not happening.

Why not, you can find used 7 iron for probably $20, maybe find a demo one at a local store or one on ebay or even a pawn shop. Do you really want him to keep using yours? Just tell him, here now you have your own 7 iron. It doesnt have to match whatever set of irons he has. I havent had anyone ask to use any of clubs for a long time and vice versa. Truthfully he probably likes your irons better than whatever he's using and probably doesnt want to get his own.

Or you could play a joke on him and sneak his 7i out of his bag the next time you play so he'll have to ask you to borrow yours again.

You play golf with your father-in-law, and you have the type of relationship where he txts you about stuff. That's pretty cool.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
