The question is, would you swap out your irons just because they are like 20 years old, even if you are hitting them great?

I've got a set of Pings that I've had since forever, and I was considering upgrading to something a little more recent. But after nailing every approach shot tight I have to ask the question, would you screw with something that honestly is working real well, just for the sake of having the "latest and greatest"?

Nope, not a chance. Don't fix what isn't broke!

But that is easier said then done. The public is always wanting what is new on the market, it's just human nature.

Luckily, my handicap stinks, so I can go out and try new stuff.

But if you are sticking it in there tight, keep what you have! Unless you just have some money to spend, it never hurts to try.

      Day 62 (11 May 26) - grandson put in for some wedge drills, up and over targets (namely the tulip tree) - grabbed a couple of foam balls and we worked on same (me on Gw and he with his Sw).  Good session on aim small/miss small.  Love these times working with him - watching his game develop.

      Playing and Expectations: Shorter Par-5s

      By Shindig · Posted

      Thank you @Ty_Webb!  I hadn't thought about that it would increase when there's a need for the third shot, something that happens to me almost every time I play a par-5;  it's pretty rare (bordering on never, but not quite) that I'm on or even within 30 yards for my third shot.   But that makes a ton of sense:  to be on or near in regulation, I need to hit at least two good shots and one not-bad one, preferably three good shots.  Asking a professional to hit two good shots in short succession is nowhere near as tall an order.  I'll continue to try for a second no-six round, but your post really did help me with the not beating myself up part, and I'll continue to be happy towards this when I have only one six (and no worse) in a round.
