It was so nice today that I decided to fit in nine holes of golf at Sim Park. I needed to sleep after a late night covering the Kansas-Oklahoma gamein Norman last night, but the opportunity to play was just too enticing.
Here’s my problem, though. I didn’t hit the ball very well, so now I’m discouraged. I know it was my first time out and I never play well early in the season. But for some reason, I had high hopes. I thought I would score better than I did. I’m not going to divulge what I did score because, well, it’s none of your business. If I had scored better, though, it would be your business and I would not hesitate to let you know.
I’m in the market for new irons this spring. I’ve had the same irons, which I ordered from a catalog, for more than 10 years. Everybody who seems to know what they’re doing tells me it’s time for new irons. So, I’m reaching out to you blog readers here for suggestions. I’m sure some of you know golf and know what kind of irons would suit me. I know I have to get them custom fitted and all of that. But I am eager to hear what you all think. I’m not looking to spend a fortune on these irons because, frankly, my game isn’t worthy of spending a fortune on clubs. But I am looking to purchase a good set of irons that I can use for the next 10 years and that will help me improve my game.
Thoughts?

Titleist AP1 or AP2 are very nice. Callaway has a couple of good looking irons, as does Mizuno. Make sure you give then a good tryout. Hit a lot of balls and get fitted.
Perhaps its not the arrows Bob, its the indian.
Callaway makes the best irons.
Go to Dick’s on the east side. Ask for Aaron Herring, he is a manager and a former Derby and Butler Football player. Tell him your name and he will get you set up with a great set of irons.
Bob, Just remember, all clubs hit long and straight in the Demo cage. But once you get them out on the course, it is the same old hook, slice, blade, or topping that the old clubs had.
