VigilanteTrail except for two clubs

As mentioned…the 2 clubs that have made the 2025 cut thus far:

Callaway Apex UW (2024) 21* with Mitsubishi MMT 70R shaft - this thing is NOT leaving the bag…3 times out with it and just flat out works for me…in several situations.

Cleveland HB SOFT Milled 11S with OEM stepless steel and the Lamkin SinkFit Deep V grip that @Spuzz gifted to me…and an aftermarket “Merica” magnetic headcover from Amazon - would take something pretty special to kick this putter out of my bag.

      Just a reminder, the members of this forum are geriatric and posting pics is not their strong suit 🙂

        Hoping that sharing my current bag will bring me some good juju for tomorrow (first round of the year):

        Tour Edge c721 9.5* w/ Hzrdus RDX Smoke black 6.0 60g
        Rouge ST Max 4W (Ascent 65g S) and 7W (Hzrdus yellow 6.0 70g)
        Cobra Aerojet 6-PW PX LZ 105 6.0
        Cleveland CBX4 49, 54, 58
        TM Spider GT Notchback (LH bc I'm weird)
        And bc I have the extra slot, SMT 0743 forged 60* for tight lie chips and bc it looks sweet

        Fingers crossed 🤞

          My ho'ing days seem to be past me, I have made it thru the entire offseason without a golf purchase (luckily Cutter66 has not had one of his sales).
          In the 2025 bag, and yes I know this is 15 clubs, I keep the Srixon PW in the bag because I would lose it if I didn't:
          Driver: Ping G400 Max 9* w/Aldila 2kxv Blue 60s
          Fairway: Tour Edge e722 16.5* w/Aldila Rogue Max 75-s
          Irons: Srixon z765/565 combo set (3-6 z565 / 7-P z765) w/SteelFiber i95s
          Wedges: Titleist Vokeys 46/50/54/60 (various models) w/ SteelFiber i95s (46), i110r (50/54/60)
          Putter: Cleveland Huntington Beach 10.5 w/TigerShark Grip
          All swing clubs have Pure DTX grips, all irons & wedges are 2* flat.
          Bag is a Sun Mountain C130S


          My bag hasn't really changed. Still gaming a Srixon z785 driver 9.5°.
          Jet black 3 & 5 woods.
          Callaway VFT Hawkeye irons.
          LogicAlone wedges 52, 56, & 60.
          LogicAlone V2 putter.
          The only change was a loft reduction on the driver.
          That and I'll be putting bigger grips on most of my clubs.

            Bravopilot I assume you change clubs for your Monday afternoon walk? Does your knee allow walking still?

            I made it 9 holes this week. Hurts going downhill mostly. Our course has 3 long downhill treks in the 18. Doc is fitting me for an "unloader" brace. I don't change clubs for the walk as I'm using a Sun Mountain push cart.

                As a confirmed walker myself, I understand your desire to walk.....but wouldn't you be better off riding??? Or alternate walking. / riding every other hole?

                    Absolutely! I only walk on Monday when our club is closed (employees are off, so no carts). I ride most all of my full rounds and usually am not the driver, so I get my steps in on flat ground as I can. Maybe next year, post knee replacement, I'll try walking more

                        sdandrea1 You could try an electric cart, but for me that really only helps on those uphill grinds our course has on the back 9. Downhill is easier on the lungs but harder on the knees and ankles for me.

                            Full bag for cart use (most often):
                            Driver: Adams 9088 UL

                            Partial bag for walking (as often as I can. We'll see).

                            KCee You could try an electric cart, but for me that really only helps on those uphill grinds our course has on the back 9. Downhill is easier on the lungs but harder on the knees and ankles for me.

                            The push cart feels weightless to me and I don't notice the hill climbs from a cardio standpoint. The knee just hurts walking downhill......pushing a cart, just walking the dog or unloaded except for my extra weight. We'll see if the brace helps.

                                sdandrea1 Yeah the downhill was always more painful for me on my bad ankle. When I was still jogging I would run up hills or on level ground, but walk down hills or I would be limping home. The braces helped a little, but not a lot for me. Unfortunately not jogging was the answer for me.

                                I like a good THC/CBD gummy now and then for the aches and pains. Not a doctor of course jus' sayin'
