I played 18 at the club yesterday and must have left my 8 iron behind....found out on the third hole today when I reached for it and it was gone...... It hasn't been returned yet....and yes I know it's early but I have to prepare for the worst as I have 3 important matches/tournaments in the next 3 weeks.

I play Mizuno MP57's. My 4 and 5 iron are Mizuno MX-25's (a little more forgiveness). My choices from what I can see are:

1) Don't worry about it and just choke up on a 7 iron a bit.

2) Throw in the MX-25 8 iron I have for the time being (same loft as the mp57)

3) Roll up in the fetal position and cry my eyes out since my 8 iron was my favorite club!

I used my 8 iron more than most other clubs as I not only used it from 135-150 out but I LOVED using it for bump and runs.

HELP!!

BTW.....if you have a spare MP57 8 iron kicking around that you don't need...I'll take it...SERIOUSLY!

What's in my bag:
Superquad Driver
19* and 22* Rescue Hybrids
4-PW MP 57 Irons
CG14 52* Gap Wedge CG12 56* SW CG12 60* Lob Wedge CO3-hI push them around with my Linksmen X-7 cart.

For now, I'd throw in the 8 iron from the MX25 set and hope that yours gets turned in. If it doesn't show up in a week or two look to ironfinder, eBay, or something like that to replace it.

Get another MP-57 8-iron off one of those club finder websites. Don't want to be missing your go to club when those matches come around. Until you get the replacement you can use your MX-25's. If someone turns in the 8-iron then now you can use one of them to practice with to your heart's content without the worries of wearing it down.

you probably used the 8 iron after a greenside chip ...... didn't you ...... maybe a great help in stopping using the 8 iron for such shots ...... I am kind of a sucker to keep on playing these shots with a 8 iron, loosing it would maybe force me to use the 58* on all shots and vary using only one club for these shots......

But like the others said, buy your self a replacement through any of these websites, and besides that I can imagine any Mizuno dealer can order a new 8i without any problem as Mizuno will for sure be able to replace your 8i MP-57 .........

Buttttttttttt ...... this might be your chance convincing the wife that you really need to buy the MP-62 or MP-68 set ........

This seems like solid thinking!

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
