In case you landed here and are wondering what this blog is about - I have decided to create a plan and document my progress towards the objective of attaining a scratch handicap. Hopefully by sharing my progress I will remain disciplined and who knows maybe inspire someone else to achieve their own goals.

New Irons

I don't currently possess a set of irons.  I sold both sets I had before Christmas.  I wanted to raise a little cash :) but primarily I wanted to make sure the temptation wasn't there to go hitting balls before I got the all clear from the orthopedic specialist.
I'm hoping to get this all clear on Jan 18th in which case I need to get a new set of irons promptly.
If I've learned one thing over the last year  its that you must play the right equipment for you.   Its crazy to buy something new off the rack without getting fitted.
Therefore I probably  want to get fitted for a set of the Taylormade R9's.   Although they are last years, I don't much like the look of this years offerings from Taylormade.   Also, I have messed around with some of the R9s last year and liked them.   In fact, I swung one of TWs R9s at one point and loved them.  Perhaps I can persuade him to sell me his if he is upgrading.  I know that they are the right swing weight (D2) :)
I had thought of going to The Kingdom at Reynolds Plantation again to get fitted but the price has gone up and I just can't justify spending $1500 to get fit for a set of $900 at best irons.
I guess first things first, I need to get the all clear to start hitting balls - its driving me crazy not being able to work on my game!!
