Hopefully for a low handicapper!

Has a Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana Stiff Shaft
10.5 loft.
Have the hosel set at C3 as I have a low ball flight so that gives me another .75 degree of loft with a slightly closed face angle to promote a little draw.
Have to say the service I got at the Drummond driving range on Tapleys hill rd was second to none.
Got a club fitting from their trainee Matt, and he was very good. Even gave me some free tips on my grip and alignment while doing the fitting. Definitely knows his stuff. Didn't try to sell me the top of the range brand new stuff, but something that actually fitted my swing at a reasonable price.

I started playing golf when I was 13 years old and had a mixed bag of peripheral weighted and blade clubs, then when I was 15 the folks bought me a set of Tommy Armour 845's which I still use (no where near as much as I would like). In have an ol' school Ping putter and Maxfli leather bag... have always used Titleist balls even as a kid.

Used to be a member at both TTG and Highercombe, but dropped the Highercombe membership when I got full 7 day membership at TTG due to junior penants...

My two little boys 8 and 9 got PGF Jnr golf sets for Christmas this year and took them to the driving range today...

Wish I could justify the coat and time expense to play regularly again...

After a bit of searching ended up getting them through ebay.
PS Make sure it is a seller of genuine gear first.

Anyone know any places in Adelaide that sell a good range of headcovers for clubs and putters??
Looked at www.headcoversonline.com and they have some real good stuff
Just want something different than the normal animals and stuff.
Cheers

How can you ever be sure they are geunine..

I have found many chinese suppliers who have a range of clubs, bags etc which look very genuine. They even told me that they sell to others in Australia, so who knows what you buy!!

I'd be very cautious

I'm looking at buying a bag through my contact, looks the part at a third of the price

I don't think the quality of a bag is going to make any difference to your game.
Go for price ;)
