Hey Everyone,
I have been "playing" since I was around 12 (I am now 31). Played a lot through H.S., worked at a course in the pro shop and could play for free. Never had a ton of money back then so I played with some old blades and then my friend's dad hooked me up with a set of Titleist DTRs which I still have.
Played a little in college, and now only play about once a year for the last couple years. The bug has been getting stronger and I have decided to get back into playing after essentially a 6 year layoff, but really more like a 10 year layoff because I only played about 5 times a year through college.
Current equipment:
1) #2 wood, taylor made burner clone (home made). Does okay, tiny sweet spot, heavy, if I do my part it goes well.
2) A no brand made of wood 3 wood that I carry for decoration - I'm afraid it will fall apart. Northwestern brand?
3) 4-PW Titleist DTRs - the only good clubs I have
4) Random SW I found on the course in H.S.
5) Random putter, it is a model 20, that is all I know about it. No brand on it.
Also at my disposal are a set of $35 Royal blades 3-PW
The plan:
Take some lessons
Hit the range and short 9 hole near work on a regular basis
more lessons...
The little 9 hole course can be played without woods, so I will concentrate on the irons...
Then the equipment plan:
1) Get some real woods, 1,3,5. Cheaper is better at this point and pretty much anything would be an improvement. What are some good cheap woods?
2) Get a 3/4 hybrid
3) New putter that isn't so plastic feeling
Plan may be absolutely insane, feel free to let me know
