New irons and moving to Taylor Made brand

Well I have now chosen to go with Taylor Made brand for my new clubs. I managed to pick up a very reasonably priced set of Taylor Made RAC irons from Ebay and when they arrived I noticed they were practically brand new. The seller did say they were in great condition but I didnt think he meant that he had hardly used them! My gain i suppose.



They are a beautiful set of irons 3-PW and now that I have 3 and 4 iron I am a lot happier. My old set started from 5 iron and I had two hybrids so I am very happy I now have that extra club selection.

I am someone that likes all my clubs and woods etc to be the same brand. I hate having a set of irons in one brand then 3 different makes of woods etc. So i have started to purchase the rest of my set. I Now have my Odyssey putter, Taylor Made Irons and have now just purchased a brand new Taylor Made Hybrid.


I now am looking to buy a 3 wood and then probably save up a little and get a top of the range Taylor Made driver, something like R11 or R1 etc.

Going to hit the range quite a few times before I go near the course just to get more comfortable with my new set as hopefully I will be getting my membership to my local club and I can start obtaining an official handicap and enter some competitions. Cant wait!

First round in ages and happens to be my all time best score!

On Friday 29th March I finally was able to get back on the course after weeks of bad weather closing all the local courses in my area!

Today however was a beautiful, (albeit cold), morning and I was just very happy to be on the course!


I had an early tee at Furzley Golf Course and started on the back 9 as front 9 was pretty busy already. I knew my first few holes might not be my best golf as I have not played in so long. The first 3 holes are par 3, par 4 and another par 3. I shot 4 on each of them so I was enjoying my round so far. I started to feel the grove quickly and from holes 9-17 I shot 4 on every hole. Might not sound great to some people but for me this is great. I even hit a beautiful hybrid shot a couple of feet from the hole which seeing as the lie I was in has to be my best ever shot!

I doubled the par 4 18th and then headed over to the front 9. I was feeling very happy with my round but didn't unfortunately come across some idiotic vandalism, nothing major and on the grand scheme of things not anything to get upset about its just annoying. 

The rest of my round I was very happy with and although I didnt play the front 9 as well as I played the back 9, I did score my best round at Furzley Golf Course which has a par of 62 and I shot 74. Again not amazing for some people but good for me. 
Ignore the scribble, that is club selection etc.
Overall I had a great round and was very happy with the way I played. It was also the very last round I got to play with my first set of golf clubs. They were a budget set but I did like them and enjoyed using them. I did keep good care of them and managed to get a good price on Ebay which along with some savings has given me enough money to get my new Nike golf clubs. Cant Wait!!


Well I cant now play golf until my new irons arrive which should be by next week, then I am going to do a little review on them and post it here. 
Again thank you to anyone who reads this, its just something I like to do.
