Next Level for me....

I just got new irons the other day (after a few months of research) and I had my previous set for 15 years.  Just hitting all types of game improvement, super game imrpovement, players, etc, hitting everything was huge in selecting new clubs.  If you've been hitting the same clubs for years, there really has been some improvements.  I'm not saying the improvements will take 5 strokes off your game, but there's definitely a difference.  I would suggest hitting everything you can get your hands on (outside preferably and not on a launch monitor at first) and then get fitted at a store you feel comfortable at.  You'll be able to tell the difference between the SGI, the GI's and the players irons without looking at the names.

Yes, I believe you will get more out of your money with lessons and practice.

Believe I've been back plying for 3 years and since I last played in the 80's there has been some real changes.  One way for me to learn is to ask questions on here.

You can teach an old dog new tricks.............lol

CHEERS.....(does it mean the same from a redneck?)

Is there something currently wrong with any of your clubs right now? Have you lost confidence in your shot-making ability and fear hitting in front of other people? Ideally, you need to be custom-fit to determine if the stix you play with right now are the correct fit for you or not. By doing this, you can at least put your mind to ease. If it turns out that your clubs are to blame, then you should have them either bent to your specs, or you should maybe consider a new set. If it is your swing (which I tend to suspect) then you should seriously consider some lessons, which just about everyone can use. The thing you need more than anything is EXPERT opinion. Go to your local golf store. Generally, the pro will allow you to demo as many clubs as you want for free.

No, I atually hit these clubs well.  I practice a lot.  I hit my short irons every day, from about 135 and in.  I live out in the country.  All I have to do is hit over the soybeans. lol

Maybe lessons are the next step. One lesson wouldn't be bad (cost wise), but most places I've checked with want you to take at least 3 and that will cost some change.  I know, you only get out what you put in.

Maybe a winter project.  I'll ask Santa Claus.

I would really recommend you git a good fitting from an expert club fitter. You will save yourself lots of time and trouble and get some clubs that can maximize your game.  Don't be fooled by the big box stores "custom fitting" - you usually don't find a high quality fitter working retail. go the the Association of Golf Clubfitting Professionals website and look for a fitter in your area http://agcpforum.com/content.php?143-locate-an-AGCP-ClubFitter

or you can try the International Clubmakers Guild http://www.clubmakersguild.com/index.php/member-directory/member-directory

Good luck in your search!
