Greg Norman shark cart bag

Hey folks, let's keep this thread going!

The Greg Norman Shark bag got me. As in I'm instantly thrown back to a time when all the old guys were wearing the Greg Norman Shark wicker hats and hitting wooden gintys out of the rough. Is that you Brentwalker? Not exactly, But who ever got you started in this game fit the bill for sure. They gave you an old Odyssey and even a couple Nike clubs to try. All the old timers have extra Odyssey and Nike clubs in the garage. Too good to get rid of, not good enough to actually be playing! LOL. You were on your own for irons and fairways. Those are the clubs that give it away. You're mid 40s. Only picked up the game seriously five years ago, but you've been around it you whole life. Your work buddies got you interested in golf league, you got the bug, then finally appreciated all the Shark gear the old man used to wear. You don't actually like the LW or the urethane balls the better players use, but they say those things are what works, so you keep trying. Just like that weight transfer. Why is this so hard? Who says golf can't be played off the back foot? Hah! OK, this is not examine one's swing from their golf bag, I kind of jumped the shark there. Keep having fun BW, and who cares that you like the Pinnacle Soft more than the Titleist ProV1x...

??? that’s awesome and pretty close to spot on except I’m left handed so I’ve just kinda had to pick up clubs here and there no one to give them to me ..... except the putter came from a student at the school I work at no clue where he got it? but nailed the age thing and how long I’ve been playing and thanks to a recommendation by the head pro I freaking love the pinnacle soft golf ball!!!

I bet Christmas dinner at your house is amazing!

 

I love that you have expensive clubs in an old Ping bag, that tells me that you probably are successful in your career and you care enough about your game that cost really isn't much a factor when it comes to your equipment, but you don't want anyone to know about it. You just want to go play golf.

 

You're also low single digit to scratch, possibly even plus handicap.

 

If you had a brand new Ogio "look at me" bag, I would probably think you were a poser :P

Phenom - nice bag.

This bag reeks of prioritizing solid contact above all else. The hybrids up to the 5 spot say you don't care about being judged on a 3 iron.

The Ap1's say the same - easy distance, straight shots, repeatability.

So do the wedges. The 50* says confidence on approaches or predictable bump n run, and the Nike wedges say you're using the club characteristics to get consistent results.

The woods on the other hand indicate that you're aware that distance at the top of the bag has to have an element of risk, and so you're willing to roll with a couple of bombers where necessary.

The putter says if I don't one-putt, I damn sure won't 3-putt.

You read me pretty well! Distance can be an issue for me, I'm Justin Thomas-sized with average human speed (driver SS maxes out at 106, usually hovers around 103), and an 11 handicapper's swing. Even with the AP1s, my 8 iron only carries 146 on my stock shot. Solid contact is most definitely my biggest concern, once I can make more solid contact I'll feel comfortable putting a bit more speed into my iron shots. I definitely do not feel the need to play anything higher than a 6 iron. I play in hilly north-central Alabama so maximizing carry distance in the upper end of my bag is a must - you're not really getting any roll on the courses where I play, and I feel like 5 iron is where I start to lose carry, so hybrid it is. Plus, I love hitting the green with my 5 hybrid when my buddies are missing the green trying to hit their 7 iron 190 yards. They'll learn eventually :P

You like a modern driver! LOL. Cool bag of clubs for sure. The Jones bag, the driver, and all the lead tape on the putter probably tells the story more than the rest of the clubs. Been a decent golfer since the early 1980s. Learned that all the technology in the world can't fix a mishit, but lets tinker with clubs anyhow. All the time. Play hickory, it's a blast. Your other set is a minimalist set as well, but more of the modern variety. The only truly out of place thing in this photo is the golf car!

Neo, is that you? I don't know about the Matrix, but you're the one who will save the golf world. The millennial who loves golf and loves golf equipment! Of course, you're no fool, and the golf world had better keep having things to offer. The K-sig golf ball spells this out. Buying your own equipment now, where can you find true quality at a fair price. If it wasn't the K-sig, one of the TaylorMade balls would be on the tee. Really I'm a little out of my league with this bag since I stopped truly following golf tech about the time you got the bug. You're a strong hitter. Played other sports growing up, maybe baseball? The heavier stiff shafts give that away. If I had to guess you probably had access to a golf course your whole life, but didn't really love the game, partially because your friends played other sports, and because the time commitment to really be a good jr. golfer is quite intense. But you're getting better now! That 7.5 hcp in your bio is going down! Well, if you can get that baby draw working. As of today your short and mid irons like to draw, but the woods still seem to fade. Or slice...doh! My advice, embrace the fade! I don't know what to think of the putter. It looks super cool, but why not a Scotty? Or Ping? Oh, you've got those, but in the attic. For now, let's hope the custom flat stick can shave a few strokes off the ole hcp. Keep up the good golfing, and good luck!

Of course. I knew you were kidding. No worries. Buying a decent hickory set is nearly impossible unless you buy a new set of replicas. I have been buying and refurbishing hickories one at a time. It's a blast to build and play them!

I just got a few more hickories today as I am building up a play set for the VA abode. There are active clubs in both VA and Florida. I'd love to walk on our outings, but alas, the host courses won't allow it so far. It is a blast finding and refurbishing and playing these beauty/beasts!

Hahaha you're somewhat on the right track...actually didn't really play other sports growing up. I've golfed my entire life but didn't take improving my game seriously until high school. I can pretty much play a fade slice or a draw hook depending on the shot though which can be helpful. Here's a vid of my swing:

Pretty close. Handicap has ranged from 2-5 in the past year. I’ve had this ping bag since high school, my new-ish titleist bag stays in my office with old clubs and shafts in it. I will admit, I buy my clubs based on looks with the most important thing being how a club looks at address.

 

Your bag tells me that you fiddle enough to find what works for you and your swing. Brand loyalty is all out the window and the age of some of your clubs tells me that you stick with what works unlike most of us club hoes on wrx. LOL

This probably won't even be close, but I'll give it a shot. Boggy is an 8 handicap, and drives the ball about 285.He shows loyalty to Titleist, probably plays a ProV1. The 3 bags show that he plays rain or shine, and usually walks. The cally 3 wood and wedges show a " if it ain't broke, don't fix it mentality. Am I close?

 

My bags an interesting one;

The high lofted hybrids say maybe you have a little trouble hitting the high ball.

But the wedges show me you focus on playing well from 100 yards and in

The lack of a wood might be due to not finding a good one, or non need for the length

 

I say a solid 9 or 10 handicap.

Wow your good! No 3 wood is cause I haven’t found one I like, hence the 13 clubs.

 

The only other thing was you were a little generous on my cap...I’m a 13 now, but hope to be a 9 by summers end.
