How many clubs have you owned over the years – what happened to them?

Stringfellows ?

 

[bladeplayer]

What's happened to them are they worn out? Grooves gone or shafts kaput?

Honestly mate there's not much wrong with them & if i hadnt won the comp on here i wouldnt be changing at all ..

It would worry me now changing the clubs I'm comfortable with. A Pro once said to me, "never get rid of a club you hit well" and its been in the back of my mind ever since. I know a bloke who used to use a fairway wood farther than his playing partners could hot their drivers. It was a lady's 4 Wood!!, unfortunately it was stolen from his car, he's tried other clubs since but has never achieved the same heights with them.

Feel sorry for your auld fella, seems to have ended up with all your cast-offs?

Don't feel sorry for him.

He's got his eye on pretty much everything in my bag!!

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Simple for me really

Irons

1971 - mix of hickory shafted and 1940s steel shafted chocolate brown painted clubs
1976 - Macgregor Tourney
1985 - Wilson Staff Fluid Feel
2008 - John Letters F-7

Putters

1976 - John Letters Golden Goose Mallet
1986 - Titleist Acushnet Bulls Eye
2013 - Odyssey White Hot Pro #2 CS

Woods - a mish mash. No more than 10 in total over the period 1971-2013

And that's the lot - not that many for 42 years of golfing I suppose.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

As to what happened. The mish mash and woods I've retired are in my loft. The Tourneys went to a mate with the Golden Goose. The Wilson Staffs and the BullsEye are also retired and in the garage.

I don't have any of the old clubs anymore apart from the Daiwa driver & the Hippo driver, I should take them out one day for a laugh. All the others were sold to fund the next purchase. I dread to think how much money I have spent/wasted over the last 15 years I've been playing.

Birchwood, it's a great course but quite tough, and to be honest I'm really struggling there. Also I'm in alot of pain due to a bad hip and knee, so I'm not really enjoying it at the moment. So the chances are that I won't be there next season.

I know it's not a good thing, I always wanted the latest and greatest driver hence why I have had so many.

would say approx 60%, but mostly it's in play. I can honestly say that the current driver will be staying for some time now though. I feel really confident with it still and I've had it nearly a year which says a lot for me.
