I was playing golf with my dad in South Carolina... Thanks Facebook! I've got a picture of us.

I've got the R9 TP driver in play from TaylorMade. Not sure I could remember the rest of the bag, but I might go hunting for a WITB photo from back then. I do see a Daphne's THP gorilla in the bag!

Do you guys remember what you were gaming back then?

Great picture Dan. I'm not sure what was in the bag. I think it was a Cobra Amp Cell driver, Callaway Diablo 3 wood, Wilson Fybrid, Adams CB3 irons, Cleveland wedges and Odyssey Rossie putter. That's so a guess though. That seems forever ago!

I had the NV shafts in my woods back in the day. Thought they were the greatest things ever.

All with stock shafts and grips
 
You want to have your mind blown.
Since that time, you have been sponsored by a company twice.
You have played one of the finest courses in the country.
You have traveled across the land learning about gear in the sport you love.

Pretty awesome ride my friend.

This applies to many people and us utterly ridiculous. Simply amazing.
 
I think i had a Ping SI3? Ping g2 irons... and one of many many putters from the past.. no clue.
 
Six years ago today I probably had a Cleveland Launcher driver, Northwestern 3 and 5 woods, Cleveland HB3 hyrons, Adams Puglielli wedges and a SeeMore FGP putter.

I have been spoiled rotten twice.
I have walked with the ghosts of majors past.
I have learned more than I could ever remember.
I have taken down giants.
I have learned how the 1% lives (and oh man do they live).
I have won a few hall of fame tags.
I have validated years of hard work in writing and swing.

And I feel like I am just getting started.
 
Hmm...wasn't playing much back then, but I think my bag was:

Adams Bul 5000 driver
Some old 1980's or 90's fairways that I can't even remember what they are called.
Ping G5 irons
Cleveland CG14's
Wilson Harmonized putter
 
On This Day... 6 Years Ago

Not only do I remember, I still own them (with the exception of a 1990s era Great Big Bertha driver that I gave to a friend after breaking his).
GBB Driver
Cougar Precision III woods and irons
No wedges other than the set PW
T Line putter
Titleist bag

All made in the late 80s, early 90s.

I really wasn't playing then, just once a year in a scramble with friends. My bag consisted of:

Dunlop blades (my dad bought them for $150 at JC Penny sometime in the 80's)
Austads 9* driver
Lynx fairway wood
no name putter

Don't remember exactly what I was gaming 6 years ago, but if I were to venture a guess, Cleveland would likely have dominated the top end of the bag with driver, 3 wood and 5 wood. I believe around that time I had moved on from the Hogan Apex Edge Pro irons and was gaming Mizunos (MX 300 I believe). Also likely had Mizuno wedges in the bag (MP-T?) and I think I was rolling a Mizuno / T.P. Mills putter.
 
I think I had the Nike victory red irons?? Time is running together these days for me ...
 
Cleveland Launcher woods
CG7 Black Pearl irons
Odyssey Rossie Dual Force 2 putter

Can't remember for the life of me what wedges I had.
 
This is tough, but I may have had:

TM R580XD
RAM 3W and 5W
Callaway Steelhead X-14 irons
wedges - no idea
Odyssey Divine Line 2-ball 33" (still have it)
 
I started my transition from long distance triathlon to golf just over 6 years ago. WITB is very easy to remember. I had a full set of TM R7XD clubs from Costco and a putter from Golf Galaxy. They were my gamers until Summer 2015 when I started researching clubs and found THP.
 
Sadly, I wasn't playing this amazing game six years ago. So much missed time

Seems so long ago, but I think I had alot of Taylormade in the bag

Taylormade R9 Driver
Taylormade R7 irons
Vokey wedges
Odyssey #9 putter

I am not sure I had a 3 wood in the bag at that time and it is crazy to think how far my bag has come in that amount of time.
 
Let's see... Callaway FT-5 driver, Titleist 980F 3 wood, Nike CPR 3 hybrid, Callaway X-14 Pro Series irons (loved them), Callaway Forged+ gap wedge, Chikara Designs sand wedge, and a Rife Cayman putter. Didn't play much then though.
