Been a slow golf year for me so far...only about 4 rounds since March...but one thing I have learned is golf is about enjoying your time on the course and playing the best golf with the equipment you have.

I haven't bought any equipment in about a year...G400 driver was my last purchase I think....and have zero plans to buy any equipment in the near future. IMHO, 95% of playing decent golf is between your ears and your swing....equipment might help with 5% or less.

I understand that trying new equipment is fun & I have did it a lot over the past 10 years.....but to be honest I can't say that equipment has done much if anything to improve my scores....& I have found better things to do with my time than to think about will this driver give me 2 more yards...or should I use a wood or hybrid.

I plan on getting back to playing at least 3-4 rounds a month & enjoying it to the fullest with the clubs I have. Wishing everyone else a wonderful golf season for the 2nd half of 2018!

Hi Juan!!!

Ill be honest, I didn’t realize you club hoes were buying new stuff for improvement, I thought you guys just like new and shiney. I agree about having fun, you should always have a smile out there.

You are write! I played FG-17's for many years before I found THP. I've had quite a few sets of irons since then, but my range of scores is still within a stroke or two of what I could shoot with the old equipment. I'm getting a little more consistency with the OL irons, but it's not night and day. New and shiny is fun too though.

New and shiny golf equipment is fun....but I think it is better to just find equipment you like that works for you and stick to it. I can spend my $$$ on other things I like more

I buy lots of golf clubs and lots of cars, I have a problem with new and shiny things.

Im the exact opposite. I usually buy 1 or 2 new clubs a season.
