Unless it’s a par 3 course, hide your wallet or change your tee time, that’s what that bag says.

@Tim The first thing I would think is old guy lol. 5 wood, 3 rescue, and 4 driving iron ?

[3puttchamp]

the Champ is here:

Ping G410 - Tour AD DI7s

TM Burner 3 wood - stock

TM P790 4-PW - Nippon Modus 120

50 degree Callaway MD4

56 and 60 degree Mizuno T7

Newport Notchback

TM RBZ Stage 2 stand bag

[rt_charger]

I might do something different and post what will be my bag in future (if everything goes to plan and stays where it is), not fitted yet so I'll put my guess as to shafts:

Mizuno ST-190 - Likely a Tensei White in S or X

Mizuno GT 180 TS - Tensei Blue in S or X

Some Mizuno driving iron

Mizuno JPX 919 Tour in DG S-300 or X-100

Cleveland RTX4 (GW thru 60* LW)- S400

Ping Vault II Voss Blade

Some Mizuno Stand Bag

lol! but, 4 iron has lead tape, ball strikers irons, tour issue wedges.. yep, leave the wallet in the car- the fairway woods/hybrid are 2 on clubs.

you have recently spent a lot of money on golf.

Curious as to what my bag reveals about me and my game.

You have kids between 8-15. You play golf 10 times a year or so when your wife lets you

Nothing but distance and forgiveness in your bag from tee to ~100 yards out. Then you bust out the the precise sticks once inside that.

 

Also lets hope your user name isn't true about your game. Then may have to add more forgiveness there too.

[quikj]

@MtlJeff that's awesome! You nailed that I only play ~10 rounds a year, but I'm actually recently engaged with no kids. I'm a tennis player who bought clubs in college and considers golf an enjoyable change of pace.

Major updates to my bag. Took some old school Cleveland wedges and gave them a new life and on wow they are starting to look good in my workshop

[bsok]

I’m a little curious what mine says about me:

M3 w/ fujikura pro tour spec 63 x

Nike Vapor 3W w/ Fujikura aw 85x

712u 3 iron bent to 19.5° w/ Steelfiber i95x

4+5 Irons Nike Vapor Pro Combo w/ Project X 6.5

6-PW Adams MB2 Raw w/ Project X 6.5

52, 56, 60 Nike Engage w/ Dynamic Gold S400 onyx

Scotty Cameron Newport Oil Can AOP Rusted to hell

[troublelove]

You can play. Late 20's to early 30's.

low handicap, but have been lower in the past.

Hit the ball a mile but not quite as far as you think you do (trackman vs real life)

Scotty fanboy

Drive American muscle

Care a little bit too much what others think

You'd beat me in an arm wrestle

[dvq9654]

Just found this thread. Fun concept. Here's "me" (aka my bag)

Driver - Titleist 913D3 8.5 degree w/ Diamana D+ 72 x5ct (stiff) chopped down to 43.5"

3 Wood - Titleist 910 F-D 15 degree w/ Project X 8C4 (tip-stiff; whatever that means)

3 Iron - Mizuno MP60 Dynamic Gold S300

4 - PW - Callaway Apex Pro 16 w/ Nippon NS Pro 950GH

50 & 54 - Vokey SM6 F & M Grind, respectively

58 - Vokey SM5 M Grind

Putter - Odyssey Works #1 (350g) w/ fatter super stroke

Bag - Newer Titleist stand bag (would not recommend; all the zipper pulls have fallen off)

Let me have it...

[Terry Gold]

It's true! Zach can't help himself, but I've never thought it was motivated by anything than an endearing compulsion.

 

 

[Billy__Baroo]

Your bag tells me you play. Between the 43.5" driver (for accuracy, of course) and the 3 wood to MP60 3 iron transition, I wouldn't play you for money. You also keep the 4* gapping from PW through your 3 wedges, so distance control isn't an issue for you. Considering most of your bag is 5+ years old, you've found what you like and you have everything grooved.

 

Close?

 

Here's mine:

Driver - Cobra F8 10.5* w/ Fujikura Motore Speeder 7.3 TS X

FW - Titleist TS2 18* w/ HZRDUS Smoke 6.5 (Turned down to 17*)

Hybrid - PXG 0317 22* w/ ADDI 85X

Irons - Titleist 718 AP2 4-PW w/ KBS $-Taper

Wedges - Mizuno MP-T5 52-56-60 w/ S400 TI

Putter - Byron Morgan DH89

[dvq9654]

Not bad. I don't think you should be too scared playing for money, as I'm an upward trending 2 cap, but that might intimidate some. Definitely have my clubs grooved, but I'm also just cheap and lazy when it comes to filling my bag, haha, so that accounts for the older driver and 3 wood

[platgof]

Mine says senior, 16 capper. Can't hide it. But beat my friends regularly, oh well.

[CTSpinDoctor]

someone roast me!!!

[PlayfromtheBrain]

Setup:

Adidas Duffle

Louisville slugger

Putter/Chipper combo

Ball retriever

Jani*King Towel x3

Bug Spray

Sleeve of Pro V1

 

For following groups. I hide in the woods, waiting for someone to hit their ball out of bounds or in the water. That's when the fun begins. Bat is for in case someone gets upset and wants their ball back. Putter/chipper is so I don't stand out. Towels for drying off.

[mcounci2]

Seems like fun.

PXG 0811X Gen 2/Tensei Orange 70TX

Cobra F9 Tour/OG Whiteboard 83X

MP18 Fli-Hi 3i/Tensei White X

MP18 MMC 4-P/Tensei White X

Cleveland CG12 wedges

Odyseey black tour design #2

Everything has a midsize Z-cord grip. Usually a few extra shafts floating around. Everything is covered in lead tape, including the driver. Bag is 15 years old.
