So it's been 10-12 years since I played, (relo'd to OR) and good god I stink! My first shots with a typical driver were the worst banana balls I have ever seen! I needed new clubs etc., so I tried out a set of R7 draws (4-AW)...my god they were nice to hit, light (in comparison to the x20's!) and I just liked the way they looked.
Today I woke up and am kicking myself that I bought a "quick fix" and should have just bought a harder to hit club and worked on my swing more.
Did I make a mistake? What do you guys think? |
1. It's a game!! It is meant to be enjoyed! You enjoy the game more when you play/score better. Your new clubs will help you score better and help you enjoy the game. Don't look back!!!
2. Golf is 90% mental and the other 10% is all in your head. You purchased clubs that looked good and felt good. In your mind, those clubs will allow you to get the ball to the hole in fewer strokes. Take that confidence and build on it.
3. Never... NEVER have buyer's remorse. Even if you purchased a set of irons you'll never use... you made an investment towards your career of ho'ing clubs! You'll enjoy the R7's. If they hiccup, you've got excellent trading merchandise towards your next 'conquest'. You'll find most everyone on this board is looking for their next set of clubs. You CAN buy a better game!!! The few of us who do seem content with the clubs in our bag are either homeless/penniless after a life of ho'ing clubs... or, so old we can no longer get "out" slips from the nursing home to go trade clubs... or, (sshhhhhh) actually satisfied with the clubs in our bag.
Oh, by the way. If you want to dump the R7 Draws give me a chance to... Naaawwww!
