Proud to be able to present my first nearly-new* set of clubs in 19 years!

Srixon Z565 Driver, 4W, and 4H

Ping G400 5-U iron set

Ping Zing BeCu putter

 

And I'm still trying to hash out my wedge situation - Right now, I've got a Vokey 60 degree and an old-school Wilson Chipper, but I'm also toying with the idea of a Zing 2 sand wedge to balance out the 44.5 degree Pitching Wedge and the 49.5 Utility Wedge from the G400 set.

 

The bag is a Bridgestone Tour B - lightweight, and I'm really digging the double straps!  It's loaded with Tabasco-branded tees and golf towel from Golfballs.com; a towel from the old Scott's Golf in Grand Rapids, MI; and various balls ranging from Bridgestone E6's to Taylor Made TP5's, to the green Noodle seen in my avatar.  By sheer coincidence, I've got 2 Bridgestone gloves as well.

 

*Nearly new, meaning everything was purchased as either new-old stock, from demo, or from shop assets instead of inventory.

Nice setup. Srixon makes great woods and hybrids, but I think that gets overshadowed because of the popularity of their irons. Love the ping putter too... I rolled that same putter in high school and wish I still had it. Fairways and greens Sir...

Nice bag.  Srixon drivers are great.  Cheers.

That putter was a $1 thrift shop find ?

Did a little cleaning out the garage today, and assembled 3 complete bags.

 

Leftmost is my main bag - Srixon woods and Ping irons, detailed above (with my lucky Tiger headcover neatly in place currently).

 

Center is my juniors set - a semi-custom set from the local golf retailer that used to buy club kits and assemble 'em.  These guys are clones of Taylor Made Firesoles, set on some True Temper Dynamic Golds...3w through PW, with an Accusure sand wedge, a Knight putter (blade style, with a cool lookin' hollowed back and milled face).  Woods are of similar design to the irons, though they were complete clubs (as opposed to assembled clones).

Rightmost is the Ram Advisory bag I posted about caring for, the set of Ping Zing 2 irons and wedges I played my 2019 season with, and a Nike SuMo driver.  No idea what vintage the bag is, but part of me wants to fill out the woods and putter and make a mid-90's inspired bag just for funsies.

Did a little downsizing, as I donated my juniors set to a local golf organization (along with my Vokey wedge and Wilson chipper - couldn't hit those worth a darn).  I'm thinking of doing a little more downsizing and getting rid of the Taylor Made and the Titleist drivers out of my 90's bag and just sticking with that Nike driver.  I had the Nike driver out at the range today and got groovin' it to where I could hit some pretty consistent low stingers off of the tee...the Taylor Made is all over the place, and the Titleist is consistently long but has a consistent slice to it.

Just learned that my Zing 2 irons are non-conforming, as is the Nike driver.  I found a belly putter at the local thrifto, and am tossing around the idea of a non-conforming bag over a period-correct bag.

Such a sweet bag

[HappyGilmoresBoots]

The big difference between the original post and this one is that I added the Odyssey White Hot putter and a set of Kirkland wedges to the bag.  In the interest of keeping the bag at 12 clubs, I normally ditch the Ping U wedge and the Kirkland 52 degree wedge.

 

And, my mid-90s thrifted bag:  Callaway Big Bertha driver and 3 wood; Adams Tight Lies 5 wood; Hogan Edge Mid-size 2-W; and a Titleist SC Bullseye.
