Finally made it out to a golf course with my brand-new Srixon irons! Coolish and with a breeze that intensified during the round.
Bogeyed all of the first three holes, but thereafter went one under from 4-8. The ninth hole is a shortish dogleg par 5 that is guarded by water on the right. Started my drive on a too-aggressive line and with a little fade. Had to take a drop. Ended up with a bogey for a 39. Not bad considering the weather, and on a course I rarely play.
As for the irons, they are a bit like a cheat code. There is a lake short left of the par 3 7th hole. I hit a terrible shot that I knlw would be been wet with my old clubs, and it ended up only about 6 inches shy of the green and i had an easy two-putt par. I could see where the ball struck the clubface; about a centimeter away from being a hotel rocket, and yet the result was a tap-in par. Another shot I felt that I hit it fat, but the sole went through the grass nicely anyway and i only ended up losing a couple of yards. These clubs are the real deal. I hope/think that they will lead to more GIRs because they are not only more forgiving but also have a much more predictable ball flight than my old irons.
