OK so I just recently updated my Irons. My old set was way to short so i got custom fit and they work great. With my new set I've put about 10 yards on every iron which has created 1 problem. The gap between my PW and SW is even bigger now. I hit my PW about 155 and my SW about 120, so i really need a GW/52 degree club.

Also my Driver is about 10 years old. Its a King Cobra, i don't really know the specifics on it but it works well. The only problem is that it is not very forgiving like these new drivers. I don't really slice the ball but the head is so small on the driver and the sweet spot is not very large so i really have to swing perfect to get the ball out there.

Also my putter is a 7 year old off brand club. My putting is fine but its time to update to a real putter. This putter really twists on even a slight off center put and i push the ball a lot because of it.

So those are what i think i need. Any suggestions on what i should replace and the order it should go in?

I'd say driver. With the new technology on the market now, you'll notice the biggest difference with that.

I'd get a putter next. Lots of great products out there, just find one that suits you.

You can hit a 130 yard shot with lots of different clubs. The gap wedge would be third on my list.

When it comes to a putter, do whatever gives you confidence over the ball. Remember, you're going to use your putter probably three times as many shots as your driver, so better upgrade that first.

If you like the Cobra driver, I'd just say, get a newer one (Speed series? i think). I've got last year's, and I actually crush the ball off the tee nowadays.

    • Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.
    • So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon 
    • It is a known technique, similar to the armed forces box technique. They use a 4x4 , in through the nose and out through the mouth. I use it to go to sleep fairly often. It works for me
