Oh, where to begin... biggest mistake is probably buying the Cleveland UHX irons. Saw some images online and fell in love with them. Decided to order a set without seeing them in person. When they arrived I legitimately thought they had sent me a set of hybrid irons by mistake. Don't get me wrong they are not bad irons but the look was a big no for me. Plus they are meant to help you get the ball up which is not an issue I have. I always joke that I can hit my putter high. Another would probably be not just sticking with a set and figuring it out. In my early 20's I kept golf shops in business with the amount of trade-ins and pre-owned equipment I bought. Now that I have taken the time to work on my game I can see it was the swing, not the set that was the problem. Then there was the square driver era. Buying the Callaway FT-iQ, Wilson Staff Spine and Nike SasQuatch were big big mistakes. No idea why these were a thing but I am glad they are not anymore. And lastly was thinking anyone but Adams knew how to make a hybrid in the beginning. Ok, that one is a joke but my dad still has an early Adams hybrid in the bag and every time we play I will hit it at least once. That 15-year-old Adams Idea a7OS technology still holds up against a Callaway Apex UW that is only a few years old.

I quote Yogi Berra when it comes to putting “The game is 90 mental and the other half physical”. While the yips and dips of putting are real I have always found putting to be between the ears. If you like what you are seeing when you look down and you feel comfortable over the ball then 99% of the time you will putt it well. Brand doesn’t mean a whole hell of a lot to me. I’ve putted like crap with a Scotty and then gone on insane runs with a blade putter from 1950 that I found in my grandpa’s golf bag. To me it’s about the stroke and whether or not you’re comfortable when you make it. So really it is just about picking which one feels the most comfortable and then just trusting that It will roll in if you put your swing on it.

I have always played Cleveland wedges and always will. I have tested and tried other brands but for me Cleveland is tops. I love Cobra for drivers. I kept a Cobra F8 driver in the bag longer than expected because of its performance. Now have a F9 Speedback that I love. Tour Edge for me is the most underappreciated. They make such great stuff from top to bottom. Love the fairway woods and irons they make. Never really paid attention when it came to putters. For me, that's the one club where the brand makes no difference. If I can not make putts with a Scotty but I can drain them with a Top Flite putter then I am using the Top Flite. Having said that I think Odyssey is the top. 2Ball is and was the best putter ever made.

I wear a glove till I get around the green. For shots 50 yards and in I take it off. No real reason for it. I have never putted with a glove on.
