So my parents told me that i can either get, a)xbox360 with halo3 b)Electric guitar with amp or c)new irons for my golf set.


So A) is obviously something that i would like to get, i currently have a original xbox and halo 2 and i would love to get halo 3.Alot of money about $400

b) electric guitar, one of my favorite insturments and i would love to learn how to play. i have an acoustic i suck on it but i have some sort of "craving" for an electric.probably around 350 including an amp idk.

c) Im a golfer, and for the past 2 years i have been using an okay set with some extra callaway woods and a 2ball putter. I would like to get some irons.I need these new irons for my golf team this coming spring, because my current ones are a little short. Nike Ignites 4-AW for $399.

Like i said I can probably only get one for now and get the other ones later over a span of time, but which would you get, if you were in my shoes?

In my Warbird Bag,
I have
Burner Driver 460cc 9.5* Stiff
Three and Five Woods
Precise- 21* and 24* hybridsCCi Cast Irons-4-AW 52* and 56*/14 Vokey 60*/8and i play TP Black or ProV1

what callaway irons are they? The Nike ignites aren't very good irons, i would advise you to get the electric guitar.

Get some irons. If you want to play on the golf team, your clubs have to fit you.

Well, with my experience, I'm going to suggest skipping (a) entirely. I wasted too much time at your age in front of a computer. Get out and do something that is at least mentally stimulating. This leaves (b) and (c). If your current irons don't fit you, and you intend to play on the golf team, I'd suggest getting irons. I won't suggest the Nike Ignites; I would suggest asking a pro -- or at least your coach -- for a suggestion on the brand. If you get a chance, get the pro to fit you, unless you're expecting to continue growing.

Option A is very tempting.

Anyway, like others said Nike Ignites is not a good irons set. There are a lot of good irons out there for $400 (either new or used). I don't know how good are you with irons, but if you're good enough then look for something that is still playable between mid-low handicap irons. But I think you should wait a little bit longer, because winter season is coming. Hopefully, you'll get more better deals. Edit: Here for good deals visit this site . Try the Fusion irons, I've got one and they're amazing.

I play guitar and I play golf (not very well). If you are looking to make the golf team, I'd go for irons. You can learn to be a great guitar player on an acoustic and a crappy one at that too. Golf seems to require better equipment in order to hit a new level of play. I don't like video games and I'd suggest getting something that will either get you outside or utilizing your creative juices.

Good luck and happy strumming/swinging.

What's in my bag:

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
