To my suprise last night there was a demo day at the range. I hit a bunch of irons in my price range and was extremely impressed with the CG Golds. The cleveland rep kept trying to push the high bores on me with my high handicap, but the CG's were much easier for me to hit.

I'm wondering if anyone here play's these clubs and has anything good or bad to say about them. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the heads up on the sidewalk sale, are they clearing out inventory for new models or something?

I went through 15+ demo irons this summer and ended up with the CG Golds. I love them. They added about 10 yards to my shots. I was using an old knock-off set. Anyway, I think you'll like them. What set did you buy? I bought 5 - DW.

Haven't heard much about the Golds, but there's a lot of people raving about the Reds... Same technology, so I'd say you'd be alright with them. It's a big step up from the CMM garbage they were selling last year.

Thanks for the reviews guys. I haven't ordered them yet, I'm waiting to sell my ATV first...so if anyone is looking for a drag racing ATV let me know, lol. I think I want to get the 4-DW to close the gap between the PW and my SW. I'm about to look up the lofts on them to see if thats what i need to do. Thanks again.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
