Well as the big day for me approaches i will soon be graduating and going off to college.

And for a graduation present i wanted new clubs. I've been playing for about four years and these new clubs will be replacing a no name driver, putter, and LW. Along with my Tommy Armour 845s and Cleveland SW. Though i love these clubs i need some more forgiving irons the 845s are nearly the size of blades and some days i can hit great with them other days i cant. Mainly i am looking for clubs that are really forgiving. It doesnt have to be a complete  set just lead me in the direction of some nice irons, driver, and putters. So it can make my decision a bit easier.

My budget is $800 or less.

Also sorry if i didnt spell or word things correctly im a bit tired lol.

a lot of iron options out there. tm burner irons I have heard are some amazing clubs. burner driver is also a great club. you can buy a used burner driver for cheap. and really, the putter is up to you. all about the feel of the putter being right for you. whatever putter feel right, buy it.

golf is a lot like life. the more you enjoy it, the better off you are. a3_biggrin.gif

some great deals online for Taylormade burner plus iron sets.     If you have a Dicks Sporting Goods near you - theyre running some huge sales ... I picked up an Adamas Speedline driver yesterday for $59 (ok, so it's a 2009 model, fine by me).   Picked up an Adams hybrid for $39 over the winter there too...

I agree....just looking around you can get a full set of Taylor Made or Callaway clubs(New clubs, but older models) for less than 800.

I know you can find iron sets for 300-400, drivers for 150, FW's for 100 and putters for 80-100.

I'd suggest keeping an eye on good clubs on classifieds forum here and and golfwrx.com, there are great, lightly used clubs available pretty frequently.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
