I previously got down to a 6 handicap but haven't been playing too much the last few years. I can still average about 12 over par on a moderate course. But I am new in northern Atlanta and want to get back into golf more seriously. My previous set of clubs was Big Bertha and Titleist DCI irons. I am looking for advice on new golf clubs and even possible golf clubs to join.

I read a lot of good reviews on Taylor Made. I am sort of thinking: R11 driver plus 3 wood, 2-PW,SW R9 TP irons stiff graphite shafts, cleveland 60 degree wedge. Not really into the hybrids. As for putter, the one i liked in store: Ping Craz-e G5i. But with the thick grip on it. What do you think or what else should I consider?

I just picked up a R11 from a guy I golfed with in a Tournament. I paid $300 for the driver and a Odyssey Backstryke putter. Couldnt beat the deal. Sorry back on topic lol. I love the driver, it looks great and I think it hits even better. With my old driver I have a problem with skying the ball. The R11's adjustments to make it a lower loft acctually worked for me.

Irons not sure on the R9's I went with the burner 2.0's. I would suggest going to hit them. If your serious about getting back in go get fitted for them. My 2.0's are taking about 2 weeks to come in but they will be full custom.


Good luck

    • You get a penalty stroke because your local committee didn't do their job, they didn't address the specific conditions using the tools available to them within the Rules.  The rulemakers contemplated just this situation, bunkers being so filled with Temporary Water that they're unplayable.  The only way to address it "fairly" is to allow free relief outside the bunker, and they do NOT want to allow that on an everyday basis.  So they write the rules as it is, and allow the Committee to override the normal rule in the rare instance where the bunker really is full.  That's what your "local league" does, they invoke Model Local Rule F-16, which treats flooded bunkers as both GUR and as General Area.  Relief from GUR in the General Area allows relief in the General Area (i.e. outside the re-defined bunker).  Its quite a logical way to approach a relatively rare situation. Separately, consider your concern about temporary Water in the fairway.  I've seen situations in relatively level fairways where the Nearest Point of Complete Relief  from Temporary Water is 30 or 40 yards away, further from the green, even in the rough.   
    • There you go, @yungbuck6. Your hips aren’t really shifted forward and your head tips back. The camera angle isn’t good so what looks like hip slide could actually just be extension towards the ball.
    • But there's more to weight shift than just where you finish. How your weight transfers throughout the swing matters too.  But you're saying you can see it better than a device that can measure it? Got it.  Yeah I'm good here, good luck to whoever tries to coach you.
