I am the opposite , my a blade must be the oldest club in my bag . I picked it up in a charity shop years ago so don’t know the age of it but should be older than my irons which are ping eye 2 I got in 91 and I have just upgraded my woods with a ping i15 driver and g20 4wood . I am 52 years old...

I have always thought it was more to the with the golfer than the putter myself . My mate has just started playing with an old set and has a cheap putter . I said if he upgrades his putter he should look to getting an old putter on eBay for £40ish .. but he says he wants a new modern putter...

Are the more modern putters better than the older ones ? I have just returned to the game after a 15 years or so break (young family) I have a ping a blade which I have no intention of changing . I just wondered if they have improved as much as drivers and irons .

I am in the process of getting a ping anser 16.5 * 4 wood off a friend of a friend .

After starting playing again after a 15 year break, I am looking to upgrade my woods . I replaced the Wilson fat shaft driver with a ping I 15 driver and no regrets . So now I want to replace my 3 and 5 Wilson deep red fatshafts with a 4 wood fairway wood . I am thinking of anything from say...

I have Often wondered what happened to norton golf course behind the garden centre. Is it still there as I haven’t heard about it for a few years . I used to play it when it was 9 holes and when it went to 18 . I stopped playing there when Darlington council introduced annual green fees at...

My driver I can replace but changing my 30 year old ping eye2 irons are not an option ?.

I am looking at no more than £150 and definitely don’t want an adjustable driver . When I got the fat shaft , we thought the size of it was massive ... lol. How times change . Thanks for the advice ?

That’s what I have been seeing and reading about minimal gains with today’s drivers . I am certainly going to go down the 2nd hand route and not buy brand new for those extra couple of yards etc . I just can justify the cash .Thanks for reaffirming my thoughts on this .

I have just got back playing after a 12 year break and hope to eventually get playing close to my old handicap of 9.5 . I am thinking of a getting a newish driver to replace my old Wilson fat shaft . I am looking a 2nd hand driver from around 2013 or so because I have heard they are as good or...

Back in the days of persimmon woods I remember as a youngster, I had been dabbling in the game for about 2 years before I used a 3 Wood never mind a driver off the tee . I remember my dad starting me off with a 5 iron on the tee and slowly building myself to the 5 wood .. infact I used a 5 wood...

After 15 years or so have just returned to the game now that my weekends are not taken up with my 2 sons youth football .. I have ping eye2 irons and a grey Wilson fat shaft driver ( thought the size head was massive when they came out ! Lol) and Wilson deep red 3 and 5 woods with a ping ablade...
