Hello everyone, new here from outside of Memphis TN.

I play anywhere I can, havent been playing very long, but have manged to get my handicap from 25+ down to 13-14 over the winter. I attribute this completely to a club change and a reset of my swing, I stopped trying to kill the ball and developed a nice smooth tempo swing that is repeatable with a good release.

I used to hit with an old set of Wilsons that are probably 1970s models but now in the bag are:

Taylor Made RAC CGB irons with graphite shafts(totally changed my game)
Cleveland Launcher 10.5 (I leave it at home, cant hit it)
Taylor Made Burner FWs, 3 wood is now my driver until I learn to hit a driver, at least its straight and I can get 210-220 out of it swinging nice and easy, better than 240 and in the woods
Cleveland CG14 56 wedge
Adams Sand wedge

There are still a few things I can improve in my game, mainly putting and driving. If I could just putt I could get into the 70s driving with the 3 wood and based on iron play. I love the RAC CGBs, hit the ball sky high and straight as an arrow, totally predictable.

I hit a set of Adams CB2s today and could not believe how they felt, it was like the ball exploded off the face. These may be in the bag in the next month or so, now that I am improving and getting a little more serious about the game and progress.

    • Just like the 2022, 2021, 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025 topics, we're doing it again in 2026! Once again, I'd like to birdie every hole at Whispering Woods in 2026 (and maybe every numbered hole on other courses). I'd like you to join me on this quest. This year's spreadsheet is below: 2026 TST Birdie Challenge - Google Sheets   Please click through, add your name, home course, and location, and when you make a score on the holes as you play them, update your line in the spreadsheet with your ringer score, basically. The idea is to score a birdie or better on each hole on the course this year. If you're above a certain handicap and would like to make it a par challenge, go for it! Just add that note to the Notes column. Please leave the formatting as is. And note that you only write down one score - if you birdie a hole three times, you aren't writing down -3. It's just your best individual score for each hole. We can all cheer each other on and see where this takes us! If you truly play a TON of different courses, then follow these two guidelines: If you just play a lot of golf, but still get 20 or 25 (or more) rounds in on one course, consider making that your home course and just doing the birdie challenge there. If you truly play only 20-40 rounds per year, and never more than a handful at the same course, consider trying to birdie holes numbered 1 to 18 across all of your courses. Or even doing it twice. Yeah, some hole #17s will be easier birdies than others, but that's why you might do it twice.
