Hey everyone. Long time lurker here who finally got around to posting something.

I'm coming up on my three-year anniversary of starting to golf, and I am trying to figure out whether it is worth it to get new irons. I'm not sure of my handicap, but I've gotten my game down to where I am pretty consistently in the upper 80s/low 90s, with my best round being an 83 a few different times. I'm decently accurate and consistent with my irons (short game is my downfall), and I get good distance (usually carry my PW 150 and 7i 185 with the help of my SGI irons).

When I started out, I bought a set of Cobra Baffler XL with 4H, 5H and 6H without getting fitted, just went for what felt the best at the range. I'm thinking about getting new irons, and I would definitely get professionally fitted this time around. As I said, it's been three years with my old clubs, and I know getting new, fitted irons won't magically shave a bunch of strokes off my scores, but I'm trying to figure out whether it would be worth getting new irons now that my swing is much more consistent, and whether the fitting would benefit me both with the clubs being better for me, as well as the mental aspect of knowing that the clubs are fit to me and my swing.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Absolutely, getting fitted for new clubs would be a win-win. Literally.

Good luck (and find the time to work on short game, you'll thank yourself when your scores start to improve)

Carry on my wayward drive

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

Find what you like, narrow it down and get fitted...totally agree.

Find minimal time on that short game. Enjoy your new irons and work on that ball striking most of all.

      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
