Greetings!

I've been playing golf sporadically for as long as I can remember, usually 1-2 rounds a year with my dad and grandfather growing up, and a bit more depending on where I lived since I've grown up (played probably 4-6 times a year when I was stationed in Hawaii). Lately it's been about once a year for my wife's family reunion, but we just bought a house that's as close to being on a course as you can get without actually being on the course, and I plan to start playing more. 

I really enjoy being a part of online communities so I signed up here.

I have a question about upgrading clubs: I've been using the same boxed-set of clubs I picked up at the Navy Exchange 10 years ago, I'm to where I can consistently make solid contact but obviously still have lots of work to do on control and distance. Should I be looking to upgrade these to something more legitimate while I improve?

Hello and welcome! Just my opinion, but your biggest improvements will come from taking a swing doctor. They will also be able to give you advice on how your clubs impact your results.

    • Day 9, May 13.  After work, I went to my practice room for a dozen balls (two sessions of a half dozen each).  I may do more later, but I wanted to make sure I posted here too.  Same priority as yesterday, with the arms lifting. 
    • Day 263 6-13 Setup alignment stick station for hands off body drill. Worked on wrist arch as well. Working on not hitting the stick 😀
    • Day 64 (13 May 26) - last practice of golf team for the school golf team….got to hit a few balls while working with the kids.  
    • Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.
    • Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)
