2020 Classic Bag Challenge

Recommended Posts

Oy!  Found that the Apex II’s do not tolerate anything less than the middle of the face.  The lofts are 3-4 degrees less than my Wilson C300 Forged so I was planning on adding an extra club on every shot.  Missing the sweet spot means I still came up short.  Wow.  Only a couple of shots felt good and those are the ones that reached the green.

My no-name persimmon driver had the pulls. Towards the end I was able to get a little length and straighten it out some.

The shortest club in the bag was the pitching wedge, I needed less.  From 60-80yds out, I consistently flew the green, it just took off.

Ah, well.  A good warm up round to see how they would play.  +10 for 9 holes.

Rating: 69.3 • Slope: 117  Handicap around 18 I guess, I don’t maintain one.

This is way too good to not get in!!

 

So I just finished putting together my bag (minus a sand wedge which I can hopefully pick up soon) and I will be playing my first round tomorrow.

I love the look of those Hogan's and your whole setup in general. I've got a couple of the Medallion irons and they're not the easiest to hit consistently.  Great round, too!

I'm a sucker for the Fluid Feels, those look great! I wish I could have found a 1 iron when I got mine. That bad boy looks intimidating. Good luck finding a sand wedge!

I only used my 2 iron once, wasn’t exactly flushed and only went a little over 180yds.  Not a club you can muscle!  Be smooth 😉

I’m with you can finding a sand wedge, I really missed having something shorter than the Hogan Equalizer PW.  Nice club but it wants to fly!

And of course the weather is turning next week here.  21 for a high on Monday.  Fingers crossed the first of November will be warm enough to let me get out and play 🤞

Ended up firing 35 (-1) on the front today from the back tees.

 

Course Rating = 71.8

Slope = 132

Handicap = +2

 

35-((132/113)x(-2/2))+(72-71.8) = 36.37

Nice going.  BTW, I come up with 33.63 instead of 36.37.  Has to do with your handicap?  Not sure how that works here.

Now that you did the math, I will too.  Just for fun since we don’t begin until Nov 1.

=46-((117/113)*(18/2))+(72-69.3) = 39.38.  I think I can do better with a little practice 😉

Yea it’s because my handicap is +2 and I have to add strokes for net competitions. In the equation it’s actually -2/2

Eyeing a set... dang it! 
 

Also, figured I’d get some of those PING golf balls to go along with the vintage bag... but wow!!! Saw some for $299 for one ball!

So does that mean these are worth more than $8.99?  😂

I couldn’t pass them up. Hard as balls to hit though. Super sharp leading edge. Any thick miss is going nowhere. Might be good in firmer conditions, but we play in the mud.

You guys are making me want to go to my local golf shop and pick up a set. They used to have a bunch of classic irons for $10 a set and a few woods as well.

The bigger problem I would be finding some time to get out and play other than. My weekly round. I’d want to do this separately

Digging through my stuff and I have the putter covered and I have a dozen top flite zbalatas from 1995 and 3 titleist DT wound, so balls are covered too. I was worried about balls since I dumped a shag bag full of old balls earlier this year.

Going to try and head to my local shop and see what they have left as well as the local thrift stores.

I think this is going to be doable especially since it is only
9 hole rounds. Even going to play on a course originally built by Donald Ross in 1916. Do I get bonus points for playing on an old course?

In terms of balls, what do you guys think about the Wilson Duo Soft? Could those be a modern day equivalent of the older ball in terms of compression?

A lot of the Hickory dudes use them... frown what I’ve gathered anyways.
