  1. Thanks for all the replies. I just discovered another option. While I was leaning towards the R-7 I found a deal that looks pretty good. It is the CG Golf 5-PW with the Hi-Bore 3&4 hybrids. It looks like these are going to be the two finalists. I am going to try to find some to hit, but I do not know if that is going to be possible. Thanks again.
  2. Yeah, I have seen the Slingshots new for pretty cheap...I will keep them on the shortlist as well. Thanks!
  3. Hello Everyone, I have been lurking for a while now and finally decided to join the forum. My name is James and I am originally from KY, living in Louisiana, and deployed to Guam....confusing I know. I have just really started playing golf heavily over the last 4 months, as the weather is 80s everyday here. My game has become much better over the last several months, I am now hitting in the Mid-High 90s. I will be getting a new set of clubs and when I get back to the states I plan to get a golf membership and some lessons. Thanks for all the advice and good posts from the members here, I look forward to learning a ton more, and meeting some nice people. --James
  4. That is Pike-VUHL for all you non-Kentuckians
  5. Getting a golf membership is on my to do list! Congrats...and I agree that playing the same course would not get old, at least not for several years.
  6. Oh and as far as handicap goes I am still trying to figure that out. I have been shooting in the mid to high 90s over the last two weeks. For the most part I have been playing bogey golf, but usually there is a hole or two where I double or triple. I will be keeping better track from here on out.
  7. Thanks for the responses. Gioguy21: The ebay idea is a good one and I might consider that. They only problem I can think of is shipping could be potentially expensive...I will look into it. FHopper: The idea of getting the R-7s and complimenting them with hybrids is something I had not thought about...I will explore that option, thanks. ParPlease: Do you know of anywhere to pick up the CG Golds for a decent price. I know I saw the reds somewhere fairly cheaper, but I know those are geared for the better player. KYGolfer: Thanks for the response. I will be shooting you a PM. Thanks again. --James
  8. Plus you never know when the rules will change and you will need an old club out of your garage that has been grandfathered in....haha
  9. Hey guys...I am new to the forum and relativity new to golf. I am 23 yrs old and really just started playing golf over the last 4 months. I am stationed on Guam and have had a ton of time to play golf and have been playing several rounds a week, going to the driving range, watching videos, etc. In the last two days I have had my 2 best 9 hole scores, both legit 47s. I have a set of hand me downs and have been doing a ton of research on clubs but I have a major issue...the golf stores are limited here and only have the brand new clubs, which are out of my price range right now. This means I cannot try the clubs I buy. I can have adjustments made. The two sets that have caught my eye have been the R7s and the HiBores. I know they are quite a bit different from one another. Part of me things I will want more traditional irons, while the other part of me tells me the hybrids of the HiBores will improve my scores. Just for some additional information: I hit my irons pretty cleanly and straight for the most part. I am overcoming the initial problem I had of topping the ball and rarely do it anymore. I am 5'7'' with what I think would be a slow swing speed. I am looking for clubs that are forgiving, but ones I will be able to "grow" into as I improve. I have improved very quickly in all areas of my game. My short game has been especially good lately, and the much more experienced golfers I play with have been completely shocked at my overall game and rapid improvement. Thanks in advance for all of your help and the other great advice (I have been lurking for weeks)! James
