Zeros

I clean my clubs after each round with a brush and some Windex. I will usually give the grips a quick wipe with the same towel. I wonder if the Windex could damage the grips (rubber grips). Maybe I will switch to dish soap, per this thread. I was gifted some golf grip wipes, but I have not tried them yet. I like that grip cleaning brush too, I am going to order one of those.

Are the Kirkland's available yet in yellow? I didn't think they were out yet.

I am in the same boat as you, a high handicapper with a similar swing speed, and I play a yellow ball. I would recommend the Srixon soft feel and the Wilson Duo. You could also go with the Wilson 50 Elite for an even cheaper option. I used them, the 50 Elite, before switching to Srixon and thought they were great for the price. Both the Wilson options do not fit into your compression requirement, but if you are like me, I am not sure that matters much compared to the other parts of my game. In other words, I doubt ball compression makes much of a difference in my game.

As a high handicapper, I purchased 12 dozen of the Z-Star practice balls a while back and they have been great. I draw an alignment line of the word "practice" and am good to go. Unfortunately, I don't think they are available anymore. I was paying about $72 for 6 dozen, so $12 a dozen.

Agreed. I picked up my C130s last year when my previous Sun Mountain finally broke. The bottom plastic on my old bag cracked. When I went to look at the broken part, there was a sticker with a manufactured date of 2004. That bag lasted me like 18 years!

I have a Sun Mountain C130s hybrid bag. I like it because it is basically a cart bag, size wise, with a stand. It is a 14 way top with individual dividers, so no club tangle. I started using a push cart this year and it has also worked really well on there too. So far, it is the best bag I have owned, even if it is a bit heavy once it is all loaded up. If I walked and didn't use a push cart, I would probably opt for something lighter, though.

I have a 14 way bag (2021 Sun mountain C130s), which I find much more useful for organization and making sure I don't leave a club behind. I follow the left to right, highest to lowest pattern, except up top, as the center slot is wider, so I go 3w / driver / 5w there. I have a separate putter slot at the top of the bag, above that. This configuration, as seen in the picture, is what I use when I am on a push cart. Because of the way the divider on this bag is set up, it looks a bit strange here, as there are 2 middle row slots that hold my 8 and 9 irons, but they look out of place. Apparently Sun Mountain changed this divider layout in the newer models. If I am riding, I swap all of the clubs to their opposite position, so the tallest clubs are in the back, wedges and putters closest to me. It just takes a minute or so before the round and I find that it makes getting to the clubs while on a golf cart much easier.
