. . .Just got the new CGB Max irons from Taylor Made with the Black Steel shafts. They are very forgiving and as advertised, allow you to hit the ball higher. They were advertised that they would increase your distance but I seem to be not hitting the ball as far with these as I did with my real old graphite shafts! Not sure why except that I'm almost 60. . .maybe that's it!!

I play with Wilson Staff's di7. A game improvement iron that has been easy to hit. Since I retired, my handicap has been dropping. Practice does help. Tempted to give the pi7's a try.

For the past 7 or so years I have been playing with Titleist 981's with regular flex steel shaft. My dad just gave me his set of 755's so I just put them in my bag but haven't hit them yet. They look very similar to me so hopefully it will be a smooth transition.

I currently use a set of 8 year old Maxfli Revolution irons. I still like them after all these years. Maybe next year I will get a new set. I say that every year though.

All my clubs (except the putter) are from Golfsmith. I have built all my clubs for the last 10 years. I think I would go crazy if I wasn't able to tinker with my golf course weapons. I have consistently compared everything in my bag with the brand name "big boys" and have never come away disappointed with Golfsmith products.

My putter is my own design (I have many). I have my own milling machine so I get to put my thoughts and ideas into a physical product. The one currently in my bag is a high MOI mallet with 1/2 degree negative loft with groves on the face similar to Yes and Guerin Rife putters. All my putters are within the rules of golf but have not been sent in to the USGA. So for tournaments I use a store bought blade.

I have 3 sets of clubs that I use with some regularity, but I am now starting to lean toward one more than the others. I have 2 sets of Cleveland irons. I have the TA1's and the TA6's. The TA6's were the first set of irons I bought when I got into the game, and really worked well for me for a while. I also had a set of i3's, Eye 2's, and G2's that I used, but didn't really fall in love with any of those. My third set of irons that I use with regularity are Mizuno T-Zoid True's.

Of the TA1's, TA6's, and True's, I'm beginning to lean toward the True's. I get a little more distance with the TA1's, and I like the feel of the TA1's a little better, but I like the look of the True's at address, I like the ball flight I get with them, and I'm a tad bit more consistent with the True's than the TA1's. All 3 are excellent sets of clubs, but I felt that the forgiveness of the TA6's was hindering my game more than anything by training me to mis-hit the ball because they're so forgiving. I love my blades.

I switch back and forth between...
Ping s59's and forged Wilson Staff Goosenecks (circa 1984)...
I hit the forged goosenecks about 10 yds further per club...and with more elevation.
I hit both with a slight draw...with my normal swing.
I can shape the shots with either...

Old school Wilson Staff tour blades
not the latest technology but I love 'em

âI'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.â

Just took out the Titleist Ap1 irons after 2 weeks and replaced them with the Callaway FT irons. Just liked the feeling better but not the price of $1200 ouch! The FT's actually have more of a players feel with a narrower sole and slightly thinner topline. The AP2 irons would have been a better fit than the AP1's for me.

I switched from the Hogan Apex Edge which has a little more offset and a bigger head than what I use now. I also wanted Graphite since I had wrist, right hand and back issues last summer.

I switched to the Mizuno MX-900s which work for me. I wanted maximum game improvement to help me play.

    • Day 8: 3/30/25 After some poor putting yesterday I worked on some distance control drills today along with putting through 50 mm gates.
    • So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.
    • A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
