Depends on whom I'm playing with-Clavins Dad who turned 70 last year we ride. he was a mailman in his younger years and walked his route so he figures he's done enough walking, plus the other two are overweight and in their 60's.
when I'm on vaca golf trip we always ride.
any other time I walk and carry my bag, no push cart.

serious question Clavin,....Im going to be playing this year, had been planning since last year to get back into it this year. Now as you know i am not a 198 pound fellow, 260 to be honest, and have a limited swing radius and not so much club head speed. My game is short and straight. What irons would you recommend for me, remembering that I am not a rich man, so something under 500 dollars would be nice.

just irons

TaylorMade-Rocketballz HP irons
Wilson Ci 11 irons

Taylor's are $100 more.
$499 for graphite and $399 for steel but you get 4-gap wedge.
Wilson $100 cheaper but only 4-PW.
both would be right what you're looking for.
Taylors are a bigger brand name and will probably be easier for you to get.


...Honestly I'm partial to Wilson because I use them.

I'm on my third set of Wilson irons and each set just gets better. they are not that popular here in the states but they are great clubs for the price.

Speaking of Dick's Sporting Goods, they are having a crazy clearout on RocketBallz woods and stuff.   I just bought a driver / 3w / hybrid for only $99 each.  Crazy good price for these.

Is that where they match up your swing, clubs, etc to the proper ball?  That's awesome.

I read an article about a guy who did that - but it included clubs, and wasn't sponsored by any brand - just a private.  He got titleist clubs and a Maxfli Noodle.  Said he was 20 yards longer instantly.

It makes sense - we all generally use clubs the same length and angles when we're all vastly different physically and swing wise.

Yeah you swing your driver {they are actually being very cool about it. you can't bring clubs into the expo but they asked me what kind of driver I used so they would have one on hand even thought it's not their make or model!} then they check ball speed, flight , spin and make a recommendation.
it's all free but I'll still buy some golf balls.

 

[Grape Ape]

So, I'll have a completely revamped set of clubs in a few days.

And it's 20 degrees outside.

1st world white person problem right there....

I'm in, starting Monday, gonna diet until summer, and hopefully keep going.  I want to drop about 15 pounds of fat without losing a bunch of muscle.  228 was the best I ever looked, but that was ten years ago.

Will try, but it's going to be tough.  It's an older model, as the RB 2 is already out and old as well.   I'm finding bonded ones, but I want the kind I can adjust the loft up and down an degree.  I tend to hit high, so I want to be able to drop it to 8 degrees if it's the case with the new one.
