Alyssa and I played a little match play this past Sunday with the loser having to clean the winner's sticks. So I just finished cleaning both sets and figured it was about time to get around to making this thread.

Still rocking the 2014 Callaway Aquadry #theGrandaddy bag:

Covered:

And uncovered:

Starting at the top of the bag with my driver(s) and fairways:

These Seamus head covers are specific tartans to where my grandparents were born in Ireland, and have their name branded on the leather patches:

The Big Bertha Alpha 815 with the Aldila Rogue Silver shaft is what I was fit into at the granddaddy by Callaway.

The XR16 is a fun little experiment that I picked up this summer, more for Alyssa, but right now it has my Project X Handcrafted LZ in it that was given to us out at the Grandaddy.

The Tour Edge 4 wood with the Accra AC75 shaft is one of the first clubs I ever had fit to me in April of 2013. When I'm swinging the club well, it is my favorite stick in the bag. I hit it equally as magnificent from either the tee or the deck. However, when I'm not swinging it well, my miss is the same as it is with the driver--maybe even more of a hook.

The 4 hybrid (I'm playing it at +2°) with the Aldila Tour Green was fit to me at the Grandaddy.

I'm still playing my Grandaddy irons as well, Callaway Apex forged, with my custom fit True Temper S300 shafts. The wedges I bought on Black Friday 2014. Hopkins CJ-1 56° (bent to 55°) with the shelf grind; and 60° with the wide grind. Both with KBS Hi-Rev shafts.

The putter is my most recent acquisition. Odyssey Metal-X-Milled 1 Wide. It's the same putter as my Grandaddy version, just a different shape:

I tend to throw things in and out of the bag at times (Heavenwood, mini-driver, PM grind), but this, for the most part, has been my gamer bag for the better part of two full seasons. I do plan on making some changes shortly, but undecided as to what.
 
And here is Alyssa's bag for good measure. I play a bunch of shots with her irons quite a bit during our rounds because they are my favorite set EVER:

And her wedge that she's has since she was 8 years old:

New wedge time peter

nice pics and thoughts though

and WOW on that old wedge of hers
 
Looking good. Thanks for sharing!
 
So that's what the bag of a winner looks like?

Love that you're still gaming your Hopkins.

If I had a wedge since I was 8, I guarantee you my wear pattern would look nothing close to that.

Thanks for sharing.
 
Think I spotted a little spot of something on the very top of that 6 iron, might want to double check that again but it could be a shadow too.

:D
 
I was expecting to see a set of i20s with LZ shafts.

Are we surprised that you were cleaning the clubs?

nice set up there buddy, am a little surprised the heaven wood is out of the bag, last time I saw you hit it you were killing it!

Why? I hit those so well in Vegas. Wait…

It's definitely a shadow. I also crossed up her 3 and 5 headcovers. I'll be hearing about both of those things in about 5 minutes.

Ha, if I can't talk her into giving me her irons, I can talk her into new shafts, I like where your head is at.

And her record against me this summer is…6-1…so I've done a lot of club cleaning.

It never strays too far from the bag. As in…it's located in the staff bag full of extras that sits next to my tv in the living room.

Great looking set up Pete. Alyssa's bag, which two XR16 woods are those?

Matching XR16 3 and 5 woods with the stock Speeder regular flex shafts. She hits the 5 really well, still trying to figure out ball position with the length of the 3 wood.
 
Both are great looking bags.

I will be feeling your pain soon enough Pete. My wife has a much better swing than I do. Once everything clicks, I'm going to get my behind kicked.

Though I can't let her see what's normally under the headcovers or I will be looking for a couch....
