Congrats to Reed. Rory was never the same after missing that short eagle putt on 2. Just steadily wilted all afternoon.

Anyone going to be in Branson for the Legends of Golf?

I'll be down there Thursday-Saturday.

Sup Golf aficionados. I am in need of some new golf clubs. When I say new, I really mean used because it's not worth it to me since I don't play much.

I currently have clubs from back in HS from circa 2002ish. I used to be quite the stick. I've shot 67 before. I went to state in HS. I played for a shitty D2 school in college. Used to be able to shoot 70's in my sleep. I haven't played in 4 years, and the years before that I played like 2-3 times a year ever since I graduated college. Apparently I really suck when I don't play very often, so forged or blade irons are not an option. I need in between duffer & reasonable good player irons. I probably would be happy to shoot mid 80s to upper 80s right now. I hit a natural draw, and a hook when playing bad so I really really hate when they offset clubs.

What is a good used iron set (can be even 10 years old) for about $100?
What is a good driver & 3-wood for about $75
What about putters?

I currently have King Cobra Irons from like 2002.
Ping Driver 8.5 straight faced driver from about 2001 (absolutely love it by the way).
Cleveland GAP Wedge & Sand Wedge.

Only need new clubs because I lost the 8iron and 4iron and now the Ping Driver has something lose inside the head.

Looking at stuff like this so far:

Irons will probably be Callaway's of some kind with metal stiff shafts
Driver and 3 wood will probably be Taylor Made
Putter-hard to tell due to the crazy variety. Ping or Scotty McCaren are gonna be a little pricey but you don't want a bent putter from the local mini-golf

Hard to see you getting a set to satisfy your game for the price you are asking. You have a good game so some scrub set like Wilson won't satisfy you or work.

Try a local golf shop who took a set in on trade in

My irons are 28 years old. You don't need to have brand new irons for them to perform well.

Driver: https://www.globalgolf.com/golf-club...5-driver/used/

Forgiving, and one of the longest drivers Ping ever made.

Fairway woods:

3-wood: https://www.globalgolf.com/golf-club...way-wood/used/

Phil Mickelson used this for years. They are stupid long and easy to hit.

5-wood: A Ping G-10 is a good club. And available at globalgolf as well.

Hybrid: https://www.globalgolf.com/golf-club...7-hybrid/used/ . Long and easy to hit.

Irons: https://www.globalgolf.com/golf-club...iron-set/used/. The best irons ever made.

Putters are a personal preference and no one is better than another.

I fucking love, love, love hybrid irons. Could never hit ANY iron worth a shit. I play with a set of Adams Golf V4 hybrids. Probably not the best set of hybrids you could have, but they work well enough for me.

Been watching the NCAA championship. Love this stuff. Some of these kids are gonna be great pros.

Mancheno is from Jax. He was #1 at his high school while my son was at his. He's a natural player. Missed out on being the individual champ in a playoff as a freshman.

Just go to www.gigagolf.com. Got my last 2 sets from them.

You can get clones for a lot less than they charge.

I’ve been watching a bit. I actually played that golf course last year. It’s pretty difficult

This is setting up to be another massacre. After the abominations that were Chambers Bay and Erin Hills, I love it.

This.

As I am aging, the hybrids are more forgiving, especially in the rough (which I am in frequently). I hit them longer as well. Get a stiff shaft graphite. Heck I am now using a 2 iron with amazing consistency. I rarely use my 3 wood anymore.

I have a set of Warrior clubs. Their customer service is just OK, but I like their bang for the buck.

I don't get what the deal is on Hybrids. I have a Taylor Made RBZ Hybrid and I can't hit it for shit. I stroke regular Taylor Made 3-wood and a 4-iron, though.

Tiger with a 7 on the Par 4 1st hole. Yikes......
