I’m ready for my first Bandon Dunes trip and looking to play 3 rounds. Trip will occur in the next month. What are your top 3 courses? Are there any good caddie recommendations? My current thoughts were to play Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Sheep Ranch

Very nice, I just got some of these recently. What shafts?

I've played Desert Pines multiple times (good value vs. other courses and nice layout). They have a lot of fun with some talented cart girls. Its quick and easy to get to/from from the strip and downtown. Bali Hai was an absolutely Incredible resort course. Paiute - The Wolf was a great desert layout. Angel Park and Rio Secco are next on my list to try.

I’m in the same boat - hitting bladed better than CB irons. I just had my eye on Titleist T-200 irons and got fitted. During the fitting I hit them absolutely horrible. After dozens of shafts and 6 or 7 different heads I was fitted to some Mizuno MP-20 irons with the Titleist MB being the second best. As a 9 handicap I’m not an incredible ball striker but was finding the sweet spot regularly on the blade style clubs. The fitted and my club pro were both amused. They chalked it up to my swing being steeper than average and the great turf interaction and speed through impact that the thinner soles provided. Man, am I happy with these new irons! They are pretty and feel like a hot knife through butter!

WITB: Driver - Ping G25 9.5 deg 3w - Ping G25 Irons - Mizuno MP-20 4-PW with KBS C-taper light stiff shafts Wedges - Ping i25 gap wedge, Ping Glide 56 deg All clubs fitted with Golf Pride MCC+4 align grips Putter: Oddessy 2-ball My new irons came in during week 1 of shelter in place. Looking to get fitted for hybrid and wedges when everything is back to normal!
