Back in 2001 I was an assistant superintendent at a very nice resort course in WI. I took advantage of the free range balls and golf. When I left the golf business I was a 7 handicap and getting better. After I left, I only played 3-4 times per year and my game suffered. Two years ago I moved into a golf course community and started playing more. Right now I am playing 2-5 times per week and have gotten back to a 10.8 handicap (struggling with putting this summer). I am currently playing Tommy Armor 855 irons that I was "fitted" for back in 1995~. Those clubs are 1.5" over standard with no loft/lie adjustment. I have been considering new irons for many years but I live in a small town in Northern WI. My club has a small selection and nothing jumped out at me (R11 does look nice though). The next option is a small golf/hockey shop that is 1 hour away, or a Golf Galaxy that is 3 hours away. I know I will need to make a trip to see clubs but wanted to do some research ahead of time. I have been looking at irons online and it is really hard to tell anything about a club from pictures. I was playing another course yesterday and snapped my 6-iron so now the search is getting serious. That course had a set of Cleveland 588 CB irons that were beautiful. List price on those was $1000 with a sale price of $650 which seems fair. My main question for the experts is....what other clubs are similar in shape/appearance to the Cleveland? I do not think I am ready for blades, but do not want a larger iron if I can help it. Am I looking at the wrong clubs? I hit the ball high, and my typical shot is straight or slight fade. Any suggestions???? I have also been looking at www.2ndswing.com and www.callawaypreowned.com for some used clubs that may fit the bill so I would not be opposed to some late model used clubs. I played golf with Dick Weiss of SST PURE a few weeks ago and he suggested that I go to Club Champion in IL to get fitted and get my shafts PURE'd. Their full bag fitting is $350, but I am sure that it is worth it. After doing some research on the SST PURE process it seems like an awesome addition to clubs. Has anyone gone through that process??? Right now in my bag I have......

Favre played out of his mind last year until it really mattered. It was an anomaly and I really don't think he can duplicate his regular season success. It should be a good year for the Packers!

I bought the Cameron in 2001 and have not found a need to switch yet. Some days it works better than others, but that might not be the putter's fault? It was not working well yesterday and it was a long day.....

The wife and I were there a few years ago. We stayed at the Church Hill Inn in Sister Bay. It was a "bed and breakfast" hotel. I don't remember the room name, but it was the top of the line jacuzzi suite . The facilities were very nice and the people were friendly. They also had an "honor bar" by the front desk. I made 3 or 4 trips to the bar that night (and early morning). You take what you want, write it down, and they bill your room. The breakfast the next morning was also good. There are a bunch of nice places there though. I think it was the Blacksmith Inn that we were also interested in. There is a road to the tip of the peninsula that is really cool too. The road could be straight for a mile or so, but they made it all curvy. All in all Door County is a pretty decent place to hang out for a while

Congrats! Breaking 80 is a GREAT feeling. Now consistency is the key and the feeling will get even better!

Having spent 8 years in the golf course maintenance business the close calls are too numerous to count. Most of the really close ones came while trying to fix irrigation leaks. You would think the middle of the fairway would be the safest place on the course, but that is not always the case.

My biggest pet peeves are 1. Bad drivers 2. Harley-Davidson motorcycles 3. Slow foursomes

I would keep it for a while and see how it works for you. If you don't hate the club, throwing more money out the window is probably not the answer. Good luck!

my vote is for Tiger. He is without a doubt the best golfer to play the game. It is only a matter of time before he passes all of Jack's records
