Stephen Dumble Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I am a 57 year old golfer from Perth Western Australia who at the encouragement of my son, have joined this forum and am introducing myself. I haven't played golf much since my mid-20s but over the past 5 years have had more time to play again. I'm struggling to improve and get back to how I played when I was younger. Whilst still being pretty fit for my age, for the first time in my life I have started to have lessons to try and get rid of my bad habits and hopefully help me start to improve faster. I am looking forward to participating in some of the forums and getting some tips and ideas that might help me. I also realise I need some new irons that better suit my current age. I am currently playing Adams CMB irons with KBS tour stiff shafts but realise now I need a club and shaft combination that more suits my physical attributes (I am currently playing of 16). I am hoping to get some useful ideas on what clubs others are using. Cheers ole gray, PING Apologist #9, mdumble21 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Indeed! Always amazed myself like you! Cannot wait to hear how golf is like for you now as you all are transitioning into fall & winter. We have a few from your neck-of-the-woods, so we do get a sense of life down there, but more is definitely better!
