I am new to the forums and thought this would be a good way to introduce myself as well. I am just getting back into golf pretty heavy after taking about 3 years off from the game and wish that I would not have stopped. I live in Iowa and peak golfing season is definitely over but I still make it out at least once a week if not every day that it is nice enough (above freezing). I am back in college, already have my AAS in Telecommunication Technology and am taking transfer classes at the community college before I head to Mt. Mercy to finish up my BS Management and hopefully join their golf team on my last eligable year to do so. That should do it for an introduction and now to what you are really here to see...

Titleist 9009D3 9.5* w/ Aldila VooDoo S
Orlimar HipSteel 14* w/ S300
Nike VR Blade 3-PW w/ S300
Mizuno MP T 56-10 & 60-08
Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Squareback
Titleist stand bag

Nice bag! Love that 3-wood

beautiful setup. Our bags are very similar with the VR and Squareback, same bag too.

Try the VR Wedges, they blow those mizzys away in terms of spin and feel.

Thanks, going old school with the Orlimar.

Yea, was looking at some new wedges. Was looking at the Nike, Titleist, and the Mizuno Q-Cut.

Cleaned up the VR's, I like the look much better now. (Still two left to do)

Love the irons. What did you use to strip the paint?

Thanks again, I used acetone from the hardware store, toothpicks, q-tips, and a large fish hook for tight spots. The red paint on these irons can pretty much be taken off without acetone but the black is a bit more stubborn.

If your not ashamed of the Orlimar, why no pics?

Here ya go sir, this is the only club still around from my first set of sticks. I am in the market for a new 3 wood but I still love the look and feel of this old dog (old to me at least).

SWEET. I love my tour tri metal. Just take a look in the pro player WITB from earlier this decade. THEY ARE EVERY WHERE

[Collo1992]

Where can i get some practice sticks like those in your bag?

[Puppetmaster]

Nice bag overall. Great job with the paint removal - those VRs look 97346826892 times better without the paint fill. I sort of took about 8 years off the game myself, played like 5 times per season on average and am regretting it now.

Thanks, like I said, it is all that remains from when I was younger.

I get them at the hardware store (ie: Menards, Home Depot) and they are for marking driveway entrances, drain tile inlet/outlet, and so on. They work really well for alignment and positioning.

Very nice! Definitely looks better with the paint stripped out, I did the same thing to my Mizzies.
