So long story short, I’ve had the same bag for about a decade. I bought most of this set up new while on leave from Afghanistan in 2011, and have not changed a single thing until this summer (except for adding some hand me downs) when I got fit for new woods to replace my Callaway Diablo Octane driver. I was never really a “serious” golfer but after this season of keeping track of my handicap and making a checklist of how I wanted to improve my game I realized I had some yardage gaps in my set up, which started the pondering about new irons, wedges, etc etc etc. Except for the woods and putter, all of these clubs are living in the bag on borrowed time, and my new set up should be arriving at some point this week so I thought I would do an update to this post after I get settled in with everything shiny and new. Big shout out to all you guys for amazing write ups on new gear, it helped me a ton in narrowing down what I wanted to try and see if it was right for me - I’m the guy asking people in parking lots if they like their vehicle before I even take it for a test drive so this forum is amazing.
