If anybody in the KC area wants to get together to play some golf let me know. I've played about 10 times in the last 6 years so I pretty much blow now. Would like to get back into it and don't have any friends that play. Used to shoot mid 70's, shot a 67 once, but now I'm probably a 80-90 golfer.

My clubs are so old.
"How Old are they?" Seriously. I have 12-15 year old mizunos. I have steel shafted t-toid woods. I need to upgrade badly so what's the pro's playing these days? I think I still need what they play. I really don't like the way golf tech has gone but I guess I should keep up. Are they still making drivers over length? 43", 43.5" 44.5"? I have no clue. I've played golf since the I was 10 but I never was a club guy. All I wanted was a new set of Hogan Apex's and I was good. LOL....That was a different world in regards to golf. PhilFree ![]() |

Looks like a better deal on the FT-IQ Imix. I hit one a few months ago and though it felt surprisingly solid but I just can't get past the clubhead design on setup. |

The thing about the Rapture is that it's a stupid long club, and I wouldn't mind getting one new as opposed to buying used, simply for the fact that you know the face will have life in it.

What mizuno irons are you playing? T-zoid pro, MP-29 or something? More traditional players irons haven't changed quite as much as others so depending on what you have you may be able to stick with them. Finding a demo day or a driving range that has a pro shop with a lot of options to hit would probably be a good starting point. What is your handycap? I can toss out a few suggestions of what you may consider. |

The only driver I thought I might like slightly better was an R9 with a Fujikura Motore shaft but I never really considered making the change. |

So my buddy called me last night and said he had some cash to buy some new clubs. He isn't very good only started playing last summer. He was wanting suggestions on the best clubs to get. I told him I'd think about it. I know he needs some that will be maximum forgiveness and probably oversized clubheads. You guys have some ideas for me to give him? I think he would spend up to about $600. He is the kind of guy who wants nice stuff but still wants something that is going to help him.

Got hooked the f*** up! One of my students this week helped me score a Garmin Approach G5 for the right price. Getting shipped to the house by the end of the week, so with next week's prep week, I ought to be to hit the links at least once.

Played yesterday, shot 95 with four ****ing triple bogeys.
Not thrilled, but I'll take it for first round of the year. |

I also got out for the first time yesterday and shot an 86. I play at the Elks GC here in Salina, Ks. In my defense, our greens were on the hairy side and kind of slow. Hit some nice drives and my iron play wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Come on nice weather.
