So, my new irons arrived on Saturday and, as luck would have it, I had a game on Sunday.... 
It wasn't a comp, just the Sunday swindle so not too much pressure.
I had a good, long chat with myself during the drive to the club. I told myself that I was playing with new irons and that I had no idea how I would hit them, how long/short they'd go or, indeed, whether I'd be able to hit them at all!!
I started on the 10th tee and oiked my drive left into the rough....
I decided to hit a punchy six iron....big debut for the six iron....I hit a low, stubby 'pull' into the saplings.... No other option but to chop out onto the fairway.... 
PW to the right of the green.... one chip and a putt - nice solid 6 - nil point!!!!
Not the best of starts but, I kept reciting the mantra - 'new clubs, new era'....
That was to be my only bad hole. I managed to keep the ball in play for the rest of the round and the irons, well, a HUGE improvement on my last set of irons!! Some of my shots felt like air shots - I'd hit the ball right out of the sweet spot!! Something I rarely did with my old irons. I hit 12 greens in regulation - a vast improvement for me, coupled with improved chipping which took the pressure off my putting.
I ended up with 38 points and, more importantly, I won £50 for coming first!!
Not bad for the clubs first outing.
I hope this honeymoon period lasts about 10 years....
The only downside of these new wunderclubs - I want to keep them looking as good as possible so I've bought iron covers. Sorry all you golfing purists out there....
