The search for new sticks

So I'm on the lookout for new irons at the moment. I've been playing well over the last few months (handicap going from 17 to 14) and I feel that 8 year old irons might not be giving me the performance and forgiveness that I need.

The Titleist AP2s are at the top of my list at the moment. I've always liked irons that provide feedback and reviews seem to indicate that the AP2s do provide this as well as forgiveness. Luckily for me, my home club's pro is a Titleist rep and has a set of demo AP2s which I can take out next weekend. They are stiff shafted and I think I'm more of a regular player but it'll be interesting to give it a try.

Windy day

It was a pretty rough day of golf for everyone on the weekend with blustery 2 club wind all day.

And it showed in the results with only 2 people breaking par out of about 100 players.

I shot a pretty shonky 86 and that pretty much shows that I need more practice for the coming winter.

I've hit some good form over the last 2-3 months with a few top 10 and top 20 finishes (I think there is a 2nd place in there somewhere too) and my handicap has dropped from 17 to 15.

Although I've played well, I haven't really played good enough to win a comp. I think this is more to do with bone-headed decisions rather than bad executions.

It's a stroke comp this weekend and although it's mentally tougher than stableford, I am looking forward to it.

Here's hoping that I finish the round with the same ball that I start with.
