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.

    • I was there just for sunday, and it went smoothly. Thanks @Hardspoon for helping in setting this up. 
    • I say this in believing the guy should just pay you and he's a d**k for not.  Do you guys play by the USGA rules strictly? If so, then the claim is valid. It sucks, but it is. Again, he is a d**k for being that nitpicky over it. If he wants to play the game of waiting for you to finish to have his ah-ha moment, again he's a d**k. Though, if the putter is non-conforming, you maybe able to claim that it is not a club?  Just talk to your group and don't invite him back.     
    • Couple of added points.  It was pink and maybe 18 long.  I am 6 1   And he waited until the round was over to say something when he was in my 4 some in the other cart. 
    • I would have paid you. I think it's a reasonable assumption that the extra putter was not in play.  Having said that "Did you declare the extra putter out of play?"  This person seems like a bit of a weenie and he is also setting a dangerous precedent. Let's say he wins next month. Then when it's your turn to pay up, you could refuse. Telling him "I timed you on hole 8 and you searched for your ball and found it at 3 minutes and 1 second. So, you should have taken stroke, plus distance and didn't." You could then show him your stopwatch feature on your phone where you timed it out to 3:01 and say "See."  I actually would just let it go and assume the guy is a weenie. Because doing stuff like that takes the fun out of friendly bets. If he can't afford to pay up, he shouldn't bet.
