Ok, I have been away from golf for several years for various reasons.  Little League, hunting, fishing, etc.  BUT my whole family is now wanting to play so of course I am excited to get back in.  I know I need to upgrade my Driver and fairway woods, and probably need a Rescue club as well as my woods are older Callaway Hawkeye.  My irons are Top-Flite Tour cavity back irons.  I don't have any complaints about them, but I am wondering if new ones would/could be an improvement.  Any thoughts or perspective?  Thanks.

If you have the money, new clubs could be beneficial as they will have new technology, however if there is nothing "wrong" with the ones you have I'd wait until the off season and buy clubs on sale.

The older TFT was similar to the 845s and are decent clubs. When I came back to golf in 2012 after not playing since the 90's I played older iron sets until the scores starting getting somewhat consistent. I'd gut it out with the TFT until you're convinced you've made enough progress to make spending the money worthwhile. I noticed the biggest differences in woods and putters so it made playing the older irons bearable.

These are the thoughts I am having of replacing my woods then replacing the irons later.  BUT if someone had said that distance might be increased by 10+ yards, I would probably go get a new set of irons now.  Thanks all.

I did pick up a little distance all things being equal, same loft and length etc. I couldn't care less about that. But I do care about how much more forgiving the new clubs are. That is a massive difference.

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
