I took the plunge today and picked up a set of Taylormade Rac OS irons R5 XL 3w, 5w and a R5 XL driver, I was originally going to get a set of Cleveland launchers but they were not sold here so after a lot of swinging and hitting in the store Taylormade was my choice. You know I had to hit the range afterwords and I'm really impressed with them. The Racs are very forgiven for a beginner like me, the 3 and 5 woods are really easy to hit and hit straight at that. The R5 XL driver, what can I say other than sweet, since starting golf I have struggled with the driver I usually hit in the 175-200 yard mark but with the XL I was consistently at the 225-250 mark. So over all I think I got a good set of clubs that will grow with me. Time to hit the course and really test them.

Irons Racs 3 thru 9
Woods R5 3 and 5
Driver R5 460 CC

How forgiving are the RAC's?. My local store is selling 3-Pw for £199 so I was thinking about giving them a try.

Congrats on your new clubs - I would also detour to the nearest range on the way home. With clubs you like it will be easier to work down your handicap. Good luck!

      Determining Out of Bounds

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      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.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      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
