Judged by what clubs you use???

[lee_leggett]

I have made comments on people's equipment in the past, but only if I play with someone with no hcapp or off 28+ spraying the blades all over. I may say something bigger and more forgiving would be better. But never would I comment if the balls being hit well.

Each to their own. If it works use it.

I play what works best for me, my bag is all fairly new as I only got back into the game about 2 years ago. I don't spend my money on drink, fags, cars or have children yet so golf clubs are my treats to myself. As people have said, as long as people have good course mannors and enjoy themselves I couldn't care less what people use. If it works, stick with it.

I don't do this either, golf is probably the only thing I spend any money on

funnily enough I used to spend 90% of my income on this as well as women and gambling, the rest I frittered away.....





Bada Boom Tish!

So if i worked really hard, saved up cash and bought an Aston Martin i would be vulgar?

No, but if you won one and then constantly went on about it I'm sure that people would soon find you quite tiresome.

Pmsl!!

 

[6inchcup]

Being honest its the twit on the end of the stick not the sticks. A good player could play with any clubs imo.

tell that to RORY !!!!!!!

 

[6inchcup]

Why? What would you rather newcomers wear?

a big red L like a learner driver till you get to cat2 then a green L till you get to cat1 then you can have a ceremony to burn them,but if you move back up to cat2 i'm sorry but you must stop playing and sell your gear on these pages.

 

[Gazboy]

I've only heard one person comment about using non-premium equipment in the 3.5 years I've been playing and even then he was referring to Wilson irons. His comments about gear are overshadowed by his views on lady golfers and anyone with a handicap of 20 or higher, which unfortunately are more prolific than you'd expect.

Hi all. Wow, a great response to this thread! Thanks.

As a sidenote to this, i played in a members invitational today and me and the father in law were paired with a 14hcp and his 15 yr old lad , playing off 17. Now, His putter alone was worth more than my entire bag! lol.

I Ripped my Dunlop NZ9 3 wood on the first, past his drive and he asked "what is that club?" to which i said, "Dunlop" . he then had the most bizzare look on his face. He asked if he could have a look at it, which was fine and he was stunned to see that it had a stock graffaloy in it and how well it sat. End of the round, he said he was gonna pick one up and try it as he couldn't believe how well it flew. (as he had the new nike covert fairway wood i doubt that very much) but it was nice to get a "hey, these things aint that bad!.

Typical that the only non dunlop club in my bag, my driver, was a complete bag of nails today. fairways were a rare commodity today lol

As I found from my search for a new set of bats it isn't always the best looking that are the best. No one can say the G25 are the best looking but they work for me and to be honest if the guy had put a Dunlop in my hand and the numbers were the best I'd have gone with it. I think if you were to put a Dunlop driver and iron in a blind test I am sure many might pick it but as soon as they hear the name Dunlop they switch off. Brand loyalty and manufacturer bull goes a long way

Very true indeed. I think if they blind tested new drivers , irons and balls, rather than see the brand it would be really great to see what the findings are.

Whist it may look like i'm a rep for Dunlop Golf, it is more of a case that i want people to open their minds in regards to equipment. People will wear the Dunlop clothing, as Westy, Clarke, Howell & Aitken wear it. there high end shirts are only £15 and are made by Antigua, so decent quality, and i know Aitken road tested the new NZ9 irons, but opted to stay on the Nike Blades. John Letters have challenge tour & Senior Tour players using the gear and i know Benross is being used by some Pro's.

Golf can fit any budget nowadays and is enabling the game to grow, and i like that.

Love my letters irons. Feel and looks are a real winner for me. Some people may worry about sell on value, but im not planning on getting rid of them for a long time so they will definitely earn their money. You have to go into club fittings with an open mind.

 

[chellie]

Anyone who comments on what clothes I wear or clubs I use is a knob imo.

 

[Coatsy79]

I'd love it if the nz9 hybrids came in mor loft options they are such good value

 

[Foxholer]

Although I do have to smile at the people that dress like they have a tee time in the Open but play like they have never held a club before.

Why? What would you rather newcomers wear?

What makes you think they are newcomers? Most of the ones I see like that are not new to the game - of golf!

 

[SocketRocket]

I always have a look in my playing partners bags on the 1st tee, if they aren't using forged blades I refuse to play with them.

I never get that far. If they dont sport a decent haircut or polished shoes I make my apologies.

So what would you rather high handicappers wear?
