I guess all be the first to say.....golf is the most frustrating sport ever and i hate it. Maybe its because i got kicked for doing donates in the cart.

Yeah well it's just a driver that I happened to hit better than a bunch of other ones that I demoed (Is that a word? LOL.). I had all used clubs. I never bought anything new, but all my clubs were eventually all custom for me with different shafts and the clubs angles. I loved my clubs and I plan on keeping them forever even though I quit, LOL. I hated practicing even though my average was 85. HAHA!

i just went to the range and was hitting everything great, took a break. hit again and couldn't even hit the damn ball. i figured out it was just a little grip problem but jesus it's amazing how something so small completely throws you off.

albatross would be a 2 on a par 5, lol. i didn't hit a 450 yard tee shot, it took me a driver, a 3 iron, and then a wedge for the eagle.

just went to driving range, and ICEFIREOWNAGE took one swing with my driver and snapped the shaft, so i guess im getting one sooner than later. ive been looking at the G10, any other suggestions? no squares, or nikes or cobras, they sound like poop.

oops, I forgot to add that I played golf for the first time in 4 years a couple of weeks ago and shot 38, 39, and 37. I was only playing nine holes due to time constraints. I was very happy needless to say, my first tee shot in 4 years and I drove the green on a 310 yd par 4.

I forget what clubs I have, but I don't think they're anything name brand. I'm getting some new irons for this season with my tax return though, since my five-iron club head went flying at the end of last year and I'm long overdue for a new set. Any suggestions? I've been looking at Nike's and Callaway's and I'm looking to keep the price reasonable while still getting some good clubs.

not too worried about price, got a good job. I figured i spent so much on a set of burners and x-20's i might as well finish off my set.

i got my ping anser2 karsten for $90, the g10(i think its called) is $120, either one is a great putter. but def go and try some out to see fi you want blade or mallet, get fitted too, its free at mos shops when you buy a putter, and helps a lot
