Ladies and Gents!
Like so many before myself, I have recently taken up golf and am playing once or twice a week. I try to hit the range once or twice and play 18 each week. I love the game and have picked it up rather quickly I feel.
I have "hand-me-down" clubs for the most part...Here's what I'm working with.
-Cleveland Launcher 460 Titanium-10.5 (Heavily worn, little to know grooves on face)
-MG Gold "Strong 3"- 13 degree
-Orlimarr?? 5 Wood 18 degree 5 wood
-Ping Eye 2- Blue Dot (3-SW, steel shaft)
-Taylormade Spider- Custom Fit @ Club Champion (30th birthday present from my wife)
-Golf Balls- Whatever I find on the course
I recently had them regripped with the standard Golf Pro grips because the old ones were severely dry rotted and smoother than a baby's butt!
Basically, I love the game but some of my clubs are outdated, probably too long and not made out for my game. Currently shooing 90-95 at my local course with a WICKED push I am trying to figure out. My strengths I have found are around the green and on the smooth carpet with my putter. Not a long hitter of the tee. I am a smaller guy(5' 11", 140lbs) and have accepted my best swing doesn't generate a lot of club head speed. I am trying to get to the point where I am playing enough golf to justify spending the necessary dollars it takes to have a custom fit bag. Until I get to that point, I'm curious what you bunch of golf aficionados think would be the best strategy for upgrading my equipment. I don't need the newest tech. I don't need the fanciest golf balls. But I would like to get some stuff that actually has grooves and possibly more forgiving irons without shelling out the money for the most recent technology. Maybe a hybrid or 2 to help me get that ball off the ground with my lower irons that I am struggling to hit cleanly consistently. If it's a few years old or slightly used, that's all good with me.
Any advice y'all might have for where to look, what to buy or people to talk to, I'm all about it! Thanks ahead of time guys and gals!
