After a lot of bag tinkering since just before Christmas, I'm hoping that my bag is now steady and fixed for 2013. I'm only carrying 12 clubs which I think should be fine for my course, although may look to add a 4 wood in the summer when I play other courses too.
Fitted for irons in January, new wedges from golfbidder yesterday and on to my millionth and one putter in the Rife mallet that I gamed for the first time last weekend, too good effect. The love/hate relationship with my K15 driver goes on, now the longest serving club in the bag.

So, should you notice my signature change in terms of bats carried, (not increasing handicap, an unavoidable certainty) please feel free to heckle, chastise and mock unashamedly, lynching me as the club ho' of old. 2013 is the year of consistency for tsped83......

Not a bad bag of clubs for a 20 something handicapper, should easily see you down to low teens without the need to change anything.
As you said, I've only ever add a 3/4 wood to that setup and off you go.
 
We're never 'done' :lol: always something newout there to tempt....

You'll be amazed how many are happy with settled bag and within months own new gear!
 
Nice set up and should get you round most places without any issues.

Just had a look at the card for Rawdon and I see there are quite a few short par 4's. I'd be tempted to add a 3 wood just to give me another option off the tee and I would agree that you might need a fairway wood if playing a longer course for which a 4 (or even a 5 - so easy to hit) would be ideal.
 
So 5 months on from my original post.....the bag is not the same. Shock. Gone is the G20 hybrid and in is a TaylorMade V Steel 5W, which I can hit sweet from the fairway, not so much from the tee mind. Same Driver, Irons and Wedges although there have been 'several' putters since the Rife 400. The Odyssey has been in the bag for 3 full rounds and so far so good, even won me a Sunday morning roll up, although no putter is ever safe in my bag...

How many bag changes have you guys been through this year?

I had a pretty extensive change at the start of the year and have no plans at present to change.

Considering another 910h, but that's only a pipe dream at the minute.
 
Just a change of 3 wood for me this year. Considering changing my 4 hybrid for something new and maybe replace the 19 degree with a 913 5 wood when somewhere has an offer on.

I just can't help it, I like new stuff.
