Hi, I am new to THP and feel that the advice on this site would be of a benefit to me.
I am an 18 handicapper, however my general play is good, i just have a tendency to blow up 2-4 times a round and ruin my card. I played my local course last week (par 70) and shot an 87, and that included a 9 and two 7's on the card.
I had my first lesson today as my main problem is I fight a slice and hitting my mid-long irons are becoming a nightmare as i am so unpredictable with them. I hit them a fair distance, good height, slight tail on them usually which i can tolerate, but if i miss its awful, and is the main reason for my disasters each round.
My lesson taught me a couple of valuable things, and despite the swing change feeling completely alien i know that i need to stick at it and it will come together.
I was wondering though if it is worth me looking at a decent set of GI irons. I currently play Wilson Deep Red II cheapos and they are okay, and I will be investing in a decent set of irons when my handicap comes down some.
I just dont know whether its worth me grabbing a new set just now or to stick at the lessons before changing clubs?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
