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.

He's right. Greetings from Knoxville, and welcome to the trap.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
