I carry 14 but only play with 12 when it gets down to it and the past couple weeks have been thinking about leaving them out of my bag. I have a 60* that I’m just too inconsistent with to count on except when practicing and a 3h that isn’t living up to expectations. Neither one enters my mind when it counts so its probably going to be my discard bag for them.

I was in a similar place just a few weeks ago, wondering if I should join a club I love to play at that’s 45 minutes away. Anytime I had the opportunity I would play there but then when I had the chance to join I began wondering if I would get bored with the same thing each time. Then I began thinking about what I had been doing. When I wasn’t playing there I was at a local 9 hole muny, probably playing there 10 times for each one at my “club” and I didn’t get bored there. I would play different tees and clubs. Sometimes play w/o a driver or at times w/ a driver and 3 other clubs. I did a lot of things to keep it interesting and had a good time. I went ahead and pulled the trigger a month ago even though winter is coming and don’t have any regrets. You have a different mind set when you belong. It’s “my” club now and I find myself repairing others divots and ball marks on the green. I spend more time on the range and putting green because I don’t feel I have to maximize my time on the course to get my money’s worth. I’ve already met some great people to play with and I’m on a first name basis with the staff. Now my biggest problem is figuring out how to get off work during the week to get there.

I have all Dave Pelz's books but especially use the Short Game Bible...Laugh but I got a Medicus driver online and it's done just what the infomercial say, cured my slice and really helped my distance. I use it 2-3 times a week, 5 minutes or so each to keep tweeked. The most recent book I would recommend is Tour Tempo. It just makes sense when you begin swinging the club using it. It keeps me from trying to smash the ball and results in a much better swing which in turn give me more distance.
