Hi

Im just starting out golf and needed to buy some irons. I decided to buy them used instead of new as many people recommended doing. I currently practice with a driver and a free burner 2.0 6 iron that I absolutely love(but cant afford)

A guy on craigslist is selling me a

5 Wood-Nike Sumo

4 Hybrid-Nike Sumo
5 Hybrid-Nike Sumo
6 Hybrid-Nike Sumo

and

Nike Sling Shot Irons -2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-PW-GW

all for $220.

Do you guys feel like this is a good deal for a beginner. I already have a nike sumo 5900 driver that I like.

thanks

Yes. If they are in good shape. Those were my second choice last week when I bought new irons. They were going to cost me 300 for just the irons. I say buy them. I would.

The slingshots were my first irons. A good value but, I quickly moved on to other irons. Not that I'm awesome but, they didn't "feel" right as I progressed. Just sayin.

These were also my first irons. I played them for about 9 months before buying my current set. There is just something about the thickness of them that annoyed me (I am sure it had nothing to do with a newbie swing.) I still have an OSS sand wedge that I will throw in the bag if I know a course has real soft sand. I didnt know that they made a 2 iron, I know my set did not include a 3i or sw.

      Turning Stone - Thoughts & Updates?

      By StuM · Posted

      I was recently told that Turning Dtone in New York is a nice overall resort and they’ve they have 3 courses as well as many other amenities. A quick TST search turned up older threads with a lot of comments on how difficult the courses are. Does anybody know if they have “relaxed” the courses over the years or are they still hard as far as resort courses go? I do not mind a hard course but my wife can get frustrated but if good scenery and good course conditions she may still enjoy a hard course. What are your thoughts on their courses and the resort in general? Edited for typos

      Day 280 6-9 low point control, practice missing towel. No ball, started to get the hang of hitting way in front of towel. Going to keep at it.

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.
