...when you spend 2-3 hours a day reading stories on golf equipment, golf club grooves etc. and looking at equipment you can't afford

another cincinnati golfer? Geez, we are obsessed here in cincy. Yeah i just played beech creek yesterday. Still improving, hopefully i'll break 100 in the spring. Even though I'm not where i want to be with my game, i can honestly say i am progressing and loving every minute

just a quick question, i was looking at the prize section of the league and i was wondering are we eligible or is that just for the leagues that pay money?

Give my parents a deserved retirement. Payoff all my loved ones debts. And play golf the rest of my life

I'm on the cheaper side as well. I bought my texan classics complete set for $130. Driver, 3 and 5 fw, 4hybrid, 5-pw and putter. It's a decent set. There is one thing i don't understand, my 4hybrid and 5w is the exact same loft 21*. This all got me started. I am currently in the market for new irons. I am getting shoes for christmas, also got a sw, gw and lw. All of this is for under $300. If i could do it all over again, I would buy a used set of decent irons for roughly $250, go to the local play it again sports and get my driver 3 and 5 woods. And buy brand new shoes

I'm a west-sider as well. Grew up in Colerain. Never played any of the courses you named. Since winter prices started, we've branched out where we play. We usually play 1-2 times a week. So playing at a nicer place during the winter, doesn't hurt the wallet too much. I graduated from colerain, and alot of people i know play pebble creek. I'd love to play it someday. just haven't gotten around to it

I golfed today. We already made plans for the 26th. I agree with what you say about financial hardship and lack of production at work. I disagree with the doomed relationships because i am one of the lucky ones, that has a fiance who loves golf. She's very good too. I really am blessed. I never get yelled at about wanting to golf. It's great. By the way what's your home course? Mine is the mill or fairfield greens. we also play beech creek a lot

I would definetely get a scotty. I would get vokeys. I would probably buy the Adams A4 irons and hybrids. Tour burner would be another. This question gets my mind churning and wanting to buy stuff

I guess my reason for starting this thread is to ask, is this normal? Did any of you feel this way six months after starting the game?

I know this thread may seem stupid, but i just have to get this off my chest. I am officially obsessed with golf. I don't think about anything else. I started in July and now I try to golf as much as possible. I play a round at least once a week, I go to the range at least once a week and sometimes I'll play nine by myself. I read about golf on the internet at least two hours a day. Everything I'm getting for christmas is golf related. (Uc bearcat headcovers for woods, hybrid, putter. Sw, Gw, and Lw. UC bearcat divot tool. Three wheeled push cart. Golf shoes.) I truly have fallen in love with this game!

I agree, my pw is standard 48* gap is 52* sand is 56* and lob is 60*. I use the lob the least out of the wedges. I only use it when i have to clear a bunker to get to the green. I would never think of buying anything higher than 60*. the only reason i have the 60* is because i bought a wedge 3 pack and it was included

Maybe you will. I just wish I had those options at my disposal. But then again, you've spent a lot of money as well

My first thought when i see these wedges is, what club would i drop from my bag if i were to have one of these? I carry a driver, 3,5, 4h, 5-lw and a putter. that puts me at 14. the club i use the least is the 5w. But i couldn't see myself dropping the 5 wood for either of these highly lofted clubs

pack rat?

you selling anything kind of cheap? around 200-250.?

Ive always read that wedges and irons were best used by making full swings. Meaning the more irons and wedges in your bag, the better. But i don't know if i'd carry this. When i heard there was a 64* out, i laughed. 73* is ridiculous

73* thats insane. i couldn't really imagine what that would look like. The 60* looks so pitched. What company makes a 73*

i'm new to the game and i must say the 60* is the hardest club i've tried to hit. Even harder than my driver, which i don't hit too straight. I think this is ridiculous that they are considering this

no one? come on

i still haven't made a decision. right now it's 50 50. One part of me says i need new irons and the other part says i just need to get fitted and work on staying consistent with my swing. Golf is 75% mental and it is mentally making me a mess

I just found out my fiances' uncle knows how to fit people for clubs and he offered to do it for me. still haven't decided if i'm gonna get new clubs or not. maybe i can use the ones i have for another season. they seem to be alright

jjbonekamp@yahoo.com i've never played in one before, golf that is, but i'll give it a try

I just started golfing in july. My best 18 was a 108. Last three times i've played i've shot 113. My very first time i played i shot a 78 on 9! i know, absolutely horrible. I'm surprised it didn't discourage me. I play at least once a week, hit the range about once a week and practice as much as i can. I'm golfing tomorrow and the temperature is just above freezing! thank god for golf cart covers and propane heaters

congrats, i've been trying to convince my fiance' to let me spend some extra money on a new iron set.

Is there a real difference between the new equipment released and the 2 yr old equipment. Like i said i'm interested in the a3 or a2 series but how much different are they? And how much different are those sets compared to the adams rpm set?
