Your job is a really tough call---But after putting a lot of thought into it---i'm gonna go with ad exec. 

 

Again i'm gonna go with mid 40s. Just because i don't think many people much older than that are swinging X flex shafts. Also , i'm guessing these are 2 fairly prestigious clubs you have as headcovers (Augusta being one, and i'm guessing you've played it). You have a linkslegend bag and no one is buying that (you have to special order) unless they are making some fairly nice bread. And i'm guessing outside of chick flicks starring Matthew McConaughey, no one is making that kinda scratch at 30 years old

 

Is that a rental or a beach house somewhere in California? 

 

You're a 4 handicap. Being good at golf is very good for your career because you play a lot with clients and they are often impressed by your ability. 

 

I'm also going to say former college athlete, because you have to be very personable to be a succesful ad guy and team sports is a great place to learn that plus confidence. Also you're in your 40s and still play X flex shafts so for sure you have a sports backround from your 20s. But not in golf. Maybe soccer or something

You're in your 60s and play a ton of golf. Probably 100+ rounds a year. Maybe recently retired

 

You used to be a very good player but now while you're still good---you mostly only compete in club events or stuff like that. You've probably been accused of being a sandbagger on multiple occassions. You're probably a 7 index or something but can shoot 76 if you really want to grind.....this is why you get the accusations. 

 

You're in good shape and still carry your bag every day, so using less clubs is maybe just to keep it a bit lighter, plus who cares anyway. You're not trying to make the state am. 

 

You probably putt better than people who are 2-3 caps and you'd make a great vegas partner

 

So i'm gonna go with 65, and you're a sandbagging 7 index.

You're 55 or so, when you were younger you were a major club ho but for some reason it just doesn't interest you anymore. Obviously you still love golf, but you just don't care to try out new things as much anymore

 

You probably hit that age where you just become skeptical of everything....maybe it was TMAG's "17 yards longer" campaign or something like that. You just lost the passion for ho'ing. Either that or you just enjoy leaning into the whole "older bag" thing because you've become a contrarian by nature. 

 

I'm gonna go with 3 index. And about 55 years old...former club ho but now it doesn't interest you

 

Your friends probably joke that you'd be the most likely to survive a zombie outbreak, as you have knowledge of how to build things, and a generalized disdain for many aspects of modern culture anyway. I mean you'd miss the golf.....but if it came to it you'd be fine. And you've probably thought about which friends you'd eat first for food if it came to it.

D^m you’re beyond good🤣!! Turned 55 in January and when I quit tracking my HC it was a touch over 7. Was a notorious club Ho from way back and they lost me after the 17 yards longer! Still own a RBZ 17* fwy🤣… I’m definitely old school and have the distaste for new stuff anymore! 
Hats off to ya @MtlJeff

I will turn 53 this year. I look like I’m 43 but feel like 73 due to multiple stem cell transplants. Haven’t played a full round of golf in 20yrs. I was an OG in the original golf forums and at my best was probably a 5.

 I have been accused of being a sandbagger many times 👍

I am 35 and a mid handicap. Barely play anymore. Neurotic cheapskate. 

 

Sorry to make you out to be so old! So far everyone thinks that based on my bag I am older than I really am haha. We're about the same age.

No issue with your assessment. I had a 6 and 7 hybrid in my bag a couple years ago. I figure I need all the help I can equipment wise. I don't have the skills or time to practice for any high risk high reward clubs (3 wood, driving iron, lob wedge).

You appreciate for function and value over flash and name, but you appreciate the "art" of the game and are willing to toss a Scotty in the bag so anyone knows where you butter your bread on the course.

Vaseline is another sneaky way.  Learned that trick from my uncle.  Spin is all about how the club head impacts the ball.

 

Have a pleasant weekend.
