Okay, So myGolden Bear Irons have started bending on me. So its time to upgrade. Any suggestions? I would like to keep the cost of my Irons under 500. That doesnt mean it needs to be that much... haha.. but can be as much as that. Heres info about me. Newbie...playing less than 6 months. 5'6 180lbs Right handed driver swing speed is in the 95+ range... but I doubt my Iron speed is near that. Current scores are in the 120 range. However I just had my first lesson(with more to come), and expect that to drop soon.(fingers crossed) and I live in So. Cal Please help with your feedback. Thanks, Jeff

Can anyone help me out with the types of questions I should ask when looking for an instructor, and what I should look for in an instructor. Also, should I do hr long sessions, or half hour? and anything else that I should know. Thanks, Jeff

I try to play to my club distances as well as taking into account increase or decrease in elavation and wind. I learned this early because I tend to hit futher than my golfing buddy who has been playing longer and has a lower handicap than I do(So I also know its not just about how far, but how accurate.) He says its because Im "bigger"(more muscular) than him. which I'm sure plays a role, but I'm sure my baseball experience (rotation, swing speed)(and I do know there are MANY differences in golf/baseball swings) doesn't hurt either Don't worry, I'm not... hahaha... but it doesn't hurt to try something new and see if it works for me. Yes, and I apperciate the time you have spent responoding to my questions. Who knows. maybe one day we'll end up playing together. Thanks again, and thanks to the others who have responded as well!!

I have a good idea how far I hit each of my Irons. and my pw(This one came with the set and has a P not a degree) for my other wedges... my 56 I use only in the bunker... and my 60 I use only when atempting to get some loft on the ball. (useually miss and hit a line drive )

-Driver, 3wood, 5wood, 3-4 Hybrid 5-9irons, pw(54right?), 52, 56, 60 degree wedges, and my putter. I dont usueally bring my 52(or 54 whatever isn't the pw) wedge. it just came with the set. I know if I slow down and take my time, my shots should be better... meaning less strokes... faster game. Guess its a newb thing I need to get used to.

Thanks for that information. I will have to check out a shop and talk to some "pros" Im sure my Irons/wedges failing is due to my swing and not my clubs. My irons should be good enough to last me till I can cut down my handicap. I have a problem staying down on my wedges on occasion esspicially my lob/loft(not sure if one name is right or wrong) I tend to strike through the middle of the ball with the bottom of the club instead of getting under it. Im sure this is related to me pulling my head or it could be because I feel rushed. a lot of courses around here(I'm sure everywhere) over crowd the course and there is almost always a group waiting behind us. But thanks again for the information. I am deffinetly going to check out that web site. and please, keep it comming.

Okay, maybe I was being a little nice to my self, I do consistently hit 200+ peaking at about 250ish. and I do hit the fairway about 14-15 of the 18 holes... but its prolly not center fairway. my iorns... or wedges have been failing me lately though. I am looking for a driver... but I'm not in a hugh rush. I apperciate the feedback from everyone. So a few more questions. Will most stores have a launch monitor? What all does a launch monitor do? and I'm sure the prices on this can range but what do lessons cost(I'm in Long beach.)? Also, I do like to read up on this stuff so does anyone know of a good link/s that has all the information about that type of stuff(degree, stiffness,etc..)?

I would say I have a decent swing.... not great but good. I would say I have a consistent 225-250 middle of the fairway about 14-15 holes out of 18. but my buddy consistently out drives me with his Nike SQ by 15-20 yards. I agree about the lessons... and that is in the works as well... Im just looking to slowly start building my bag.

Hi everyone. I’m relatively new to golf. I have only been playing for about 4 months. I try to play every weekend or at worst every other weekend. I have a golden bear starter set. With the golden bear wedges to go along with it. I’m would really like to upgrade to a nicer driver but there are so many options out there. Can someone help me out with, or send me a link to where I can find out information on different degrees, shaft stiffness, and any other important information I should have before making a decision? Thanks for the help, Jeff

Patriots... undefeated

I play any mini golf games I can find. haha

Whats your budget? Bluetooth speakers for inside of thier helemt is always nice. that way they can listen to music, or answer their phone.

Hi, Im from Los Angeles, CA. I work for an Import/Export broker. I'm 27 and have been golfing for about 4 months. Im really still trying to learn the basics from all the rules, to what the differences are between clubs(brand, stiffness, degree, etc..) Thanks, Jeff
