If you really must know....
- Callaway BB War Bird 9 deg. driver, BB WB 3-wood, regular old BB 5-wood
(all firm graphite w/half cord GP Victory grips.)
- Cleveland VAS irons (the purple ones!) 3-9, PW, SW, LW (I also have a 1
and 2 iron and a DW which I don't carry very often. They all still have
the factory grips on'em, but I may regrip with GP Tour Velvet soon.)
- Ping Pal 5KS putter (best putter I've ever had.)
- Callaway carrying bag w/stand and Izzo double shoulder strap
- Virginia Tech logo head covers
- Bag tags: Virginia Tech Golf Course and The Homestead
- Several Titleist golf balls (Professional, HP2 Tour, HP2 depending on
conditions. All 100 compression, since I like for all the writing on the
ball to be black.)
- Black Sharpie marker, to put mark on golf balls
- 3 FJ Weather-Sof gloves
- Tees (white, or the bright orange ones Virginia Tech sells)
- Pitchmark tool
- Extra scorecards & pencils
- Rule book
- Coins to mark ball (my faves: 100 Chinese yen coin, buffalo nickel)
- Sun block (SPF 30)
- Deep Woods "Off" (the gnats in Blacksburg are bloodthirsty)
- Eye drops for my contact lenses
- Old toothbrush (for occasional serious groove cleanings)
- White hand towel, larger club towel, extra towel in bag
- Rain hood for bag
- Umbrella (generic black & white one I got for $15. Works great!)
- Ibuprofen tablets
- Allergy tablets
- Insulated water bottle w/spiffy VT logo (attaches to bag)
- Cheap digital watch (keeps great time)
In the trunk of my car:
- 2 pairs FJ Dry-Joys (size 10.5N, one white, one black)
- Straw hat, several caps
- Wind shirt, sweater vest, rain suit
- Shag bag (full of shag balls!)
- Extra new golf balls
- Extra towels
- Folder full of VT Golf Association stuff (I'm tourney chairman this year)
I think that's about all. Except for what's in my golf closet at home:
- Large Belding golf bag (with VT logo, of course) for riding carts
- Bag tag: Olde Mill GC (play there if you're ever in SW Va)
- A bunch of golf clubs I don't carry - various woods, irons, wedges and
putters, plus a whole set of Pro-Feel (sort of Ping-type) irons. I'd try
to sell the Pro-Feels, except I made a hole-in-one with the 4-iron and I
hate to part with it.
- Cheesy cloth bag (for storing extra clubs)
- Big bag full of golf balls I've played until they were beat up (at least
200 of'em)
- Several dozen new golf balls
- A couple pairs old golf shoes I haven't thrown away
- Several wind shirts & rain jackets
- Numerous hats
- Big bag of tees
- Extra spikes & spike wrench
- Shoe cleaner & rags
- Tape & lighter fluid for regripping
- Whole bunch of golf shirts (they're in my regular closet, though)
And on the bookshelf:
- Golf balls I kept for some reason: my hole-in-one ball, and all my eagle
balls fron the last couple of seasons. Also my hole-in-one certificate and
the newspaper clipping from it.
- Many golf books & magazines
- Tee from Walt Disney World (gift from my brother after his honeymoon.
Gee thanks, I'm overwhelmed.)
I really think that's it. I'll let you know if I forgot something.

Thanks, Bob.
A couple of things....
1. How is the Tour Velvet when wet? (I've heard that the Tour Wrap, while
a great grip dry, is terrible when wet.) I tend to sweat like a stuck pig
in the summer, so this is a major considertion for me. It's one of the
reasons I like the cord grips. (BTW, that also means I can't wear my
glasses for golf if the temp is over about 63 F.)
2. I noticed I didn't mention my putter.
Current favorite: Tech-Line, with midsize grip. Currently doing very
well with it.
Backup, and previous favorite:
Head: Hireko P314, brass, similar to Ping B60.
Shaft: Hireko aluminum putter shaft.
Grip: Midsize (now discontinued) no-name grip.
Cheers!

1,3,5 Metal Woods: XPC Plus with GLoomis graphite shafts
4-9, PW, LW Irons: XPC 2000 with True-Temper Flex-Flow shafts
SW: Hogan 56 K Grind
Putter: Penick Red River with an Aldila graphite shaft
Balls: Titleist Professional X-Outs
However this won't be for long. I have some Mizuno Pro Tour wedges on order
and I just started playing around with an old set of Hogan blades and I
really like them.
This is my first time to try blades (I have been playing 3 years) and I
really liked
the feel. While I did have a few mishits, once I settled down and got over the
head games (smaller head size, "smaller sweetspot") I found I really like
the way the blades feel.
One thing I noticed is a greater ability to extract distance. When compared to
my cavity-backs, I found I could hit the blades a club or two farther when
I really
swung hard, even though my cavity-backs have stronger lofts. It was my
impression
that when I swung hard with the cavity-backs, less energy seemed
transferred into
the ball than with the blades. Any one else had that reaction? It was if the
thinner, larger faced cavity backs concentrated less mass right behind the
sweet spot.
The sweet spot may seem larger, but it was "less sweet" than the blades'
smaller spot.
I have been unhappy to find that there is a really poor selection of
forged component
clubheads, both in irons and wedges.

Golfsmith Custom Ground 56 degree SW with R flex TT Lite shaft.
Golfworks Out-of-Site 3W and "Breakout" -- a 25 degree trouble wood,
both with TT Gold Plus shafts.
Recently broke my driver and ordered a Golfsmith Extreme Impact head
and Grafalloy Pro Lite shaft which I'll try at 45".
Golf Pride Tour Wrap Full Cord grips on all clubs.
Zebra mallet putter.
I've also ordered a Golfsmith Tri Rail Speed sole 13 degree driver
which I'll shaft with Grafalloy Pro M29LBP. I plan to trim the
club to 43.5". I tend to hit a rather high shot and am going to
try this as a replacement for the 3W. I also think it might be
useful from the tee on the tighter driving holes -- especially when
I'm inconsistent with the driver. This one is an experiment. So
we'll have to see if it ends up in my bag or not.

Odyssey putter (Wilson 8802-type model)
All shafts stiff (Apex 4, FM6.5 or S300)
except for wedges, which have regular shafts.
All grips Tour Wrap, standard size.
Which 14 of these I carry depends upon the
course, conditions, my mood and any recent
misadventures. Almost always one of the
following set makeups:
3W,4W,2-PW,56,61 wedges
3W,5W,3-PW,55,60,64 wedges
3W,5W,1I,3-PW,56,61 wedges
I find I hit my 2-iron and 5-wood about the
same distances, same with the 1-iron and 4-wood.
Logic (in the guise of Dave Pelz) dictates that
I should carry the extra wedge, and I agree
except for the fact that I find myself waffling
between them for various touch shots.
I don't have a driver because I don't have any
I actually like to hit - but I am thinking of
breaking down and paying the bucks to get fitted
for a Big Bertha or Bubble or whatever I hit the
best at Bob Martin's. I used to stubbornly carry
a driver, but could not resist the temptation to
pull it out on a long par-5, usually with ugly
results.
PS. And like Marty, I also play 100 compression
balls because I hate red-lettering :) And I
thought that was weird...

1,3,5 woods: Omega "Dragon" (BB clone), graphite shaft, regular flex
half-cord grips
1 iron: Triumph Tempo, steel shaft (stiff?--hafta check)
I got this a few years ago when I was playing my very old set which was
missing most of the long irons, and learned to hit the bejeezus out of
it before I found out that mere mortals weren't supposed to be able to
hit a 1 or 2 iron! I get about 195-210 with it off the tee, compared to
about 240 with the driver.
3-PW: Omega "Z-Model 2" (Ping clone), steel shaft, regular flex
SW: Acculine Tour Choice, 60 degrees (I use it for a lob wedge, too)
Putter: Nomad Tru-Roll #5, typical heel-toe design, Ti-Mg shaft
-------
Next club purchases: (next year! this year I spend for lessons first)
an intermediate wedge: 52 to 54 degrees (will replace one of the woods)
a mallet or other heavy putter (in case the wheels fall off)
Wish list: Taylor Made Burner Bubble Ti driver, 9.5 deg, firm flex
Hit this at a demo this weekend, swings almost effortlessly!
Swinging easy reduced my slice while keeping me about 250-260 out.
-------
Bag: Bennington stand bag (golf is a walking game)
nice subtle colors, easy to reach into while carrying,
has a pull-out pouch for valuables
Balls: Top Flite XL-Tour Trajectory 90 (usual)
Titleist HP2 90 (now and then when I find them in the 50c barrel)
Top Flite Tour balata 90 (got two sleeves as a show prize--saving
them
for office tournament)
A half-dozen or so I find on the course (I usually come back with
more
than I start with!)
Other gadgets:
A foam thing hanging from the 'Made in USA' tag on the bag to hold two
balls, six tees, and pencil. Got it at a convention--very handy!
Repair tool with a notch to hold up putter or wedge handle
(69c at Izod outlet store!) Fix your ball mark and one more.
$2.00 off range bucket coupons--practice, practice, practice.
Club brush hanging out on an elastic cord
Towel (freebie from a golf show)
Business card ID tag (freebie from a convention)
At home:
Bushel basket with 20 balls for backyard chipping
Ancient third-hand bag--yellow eyesore
What's left of a 23-year old set of Wilson Sam Snead Blue Ridge clubs
(during my 15-year golf layoff, my sister lost about half of them)
At the office:
Driver and 8-iron out of that Sam Snead set, for ongoing hassle of
Charlie the chief analyst--I want him to go out and swing a club as an
alternative compulsion to going out for a ciggy.

Sounds almost like a Japanese 100 Yen coin, except for the
Cunfucious-type dude (As far as I know, the 100 Yen coin has flowers
on the front). Maybe it IS a Chinese coin? I use a Yen coin as a
ball mark - forgot the denomination, but it's the bronze coloured coin
with a hole right in the middle. I've used it for a few years, during
which my putting hasn't improved but at least my ball mark has
increased in value! Thinking of changing to the new Cdn $2 coin.
It's a large silver coin, with a gold coloured insert that has a
majestic looking polar bear on one side and the Queen on the other.

On to the less important stuff in my bag:
Woods - Golfsmith Jetstream 1, 3, 5 wood heads with Aldilla HM-40
shafts, firm flex (44", 43", 42" lengths). Grips - GP Tour Velvet
Lites.
3 - PW - TopFlite Tours (mid-size) with 5.5 Rifle shafts.
SW - Tigershark Sandshark (variable loft - about 55 deg, with 12 deg
bounce in the normal address position)
LW - CMC5000 60 deg, 6 deg bounce on 5.5 Rifle shaft.
Grips on irons - GP Tour Velvet wraps.
Putter - No-name, heel/toe weighted, with GP Special grip.
On the bench: Top Flite 2 iron with Dynalite Gold R300 shaft (because
I'm hitting the 5 wood much better).

The Tour Wrap IS terrible when wet. I now have only two clubs
(driver and 3-wood) that have these grips, and if it is raining or I am
hot and sweaty I have to tee off with my 5-wood. My old set of irons had
these grips and I really had problems in the rain/heat. I now have Tour Wrap
full cords - ouch! I also have sitting in the box a set of Tour Velvet Cords
which I was going to put on the irons I was going to make. Now I am saving
them for regripping, and will put them on my woods when I reshaft them.
Regarding glasses - what do you do? I cannot possibly golf without my
glasses (I would probably be arrested for endangerment!) I spend half the
time in the summer trying to wipe my glasses clean with sweat-soaked hankies
(maybe I just need to carry more of them). In the rain, if I forget to bring
a cap - I have an even worse problem.
Since I am responding to this thread, here is what is in my bag:
GolfSmith Backflow Irons with Rifle 5.5 shafts, 2 deg flat (LOVE THEM)
[2, 4-PW (leave the 3 out and use 5-wood for that distance)]
Taylor Made Tour Spoon (steel shaft)
Taylor Made 5-wood (cracked graphite shaft with electrical tape around it,
hole drilled in head and filled with epoxy, covered
with lead tape, bought for 10 bucks)
Taylor Made Burner Driver or Dynacraft driver (depending on my mood and
how well I am swinging - the Dynacraft blows away the Burner on distance,
but I don't make contact as well or as often)
A no-name 54 degree sand wedge with a huge flange I bought for 5 bucks
at a used sporting goods store
The Positive Putter 33 inches. Love it or hate it depending on the phase of
the moon.
A Big Red & Yeller Umbreller that embarrasses all who play with me.

What do I do? I try to play with people who can see better than I.
Which could put us in a lot of trouble this weekend, Dave. I think we're
playing together for at least one round. Hope SOMEONE in the four can see.
:-)}
I can usually see the ball for the first hundred yards, so I can get a
pretty good idea where it's going. Another trick; playing in late twilight,
so you learn to judge direction by feel. (I don't do this by plan, but
sometimes it happens anyway. :-)
BTW, I do make sure to bring a cap; only forgot that once in the last 2 years.
Cheers!

1 Wood: Wilson Whale 9 degree loft with Sandvik Titanium stiff shaft

9-SW: 1984 Wilson Staff with Wilson pattern Dynamic stiff shafts

All clubs with the exception of the putter are sporting Golf Pride Crown
grips. I carry two 9 irons due to the fact that I can't stand my cast PW
for anything but a full swing, and the cast heads are "strong lofted", so
they carry about a club to a club and a half farther than my forged irons.
The insertion of the second 9 iron closes the gap, and all is right with
the world. By the way, I only have about a dozen Crown grips in my
possesion. If ANYONE ANYWHERE has a lead on finding more, PLEEEAAAASSEE
let me know.

1,3,5W = Taylor Made Burner Plus; 9.5, 15 and 21 degrees, Dynamic Gold S300.
7W - Powerbilt, Dynamic Gold S300
1I-SW = Powerbilt TPS, Dynamic Gold S300.
LW - 60 degree build your own kit from Golfworks, dunno what the shaft is.
Putter - $14 K-mart Northwestern that I stole from my wife.
1,2,3 irons have been yanked to make room for lob wedge and seven wood.
Giving serious consideration to yanking the driver and replacing with
either an 11 degree driver or a nine wood. I'm already teeing off with
the 3 wood. Grips are all Lampkin something or other. After my next
regrip I'm going to try and get hold of some Golf Pride grips with cords
and dimples. My son has a 4 wood with that grip on it and it's great.
Haven't seen them in Golfsmith or Golfworks catalogs though.

I wear contact leanses for golf. I don't like to bother with them every
day (unless I happen to be playing golf every day :-) ), but for golf I
don't find they are too much of a pain.
After wearing contacts, I find playing in glasses (besides the dripping
sweat problem) difficult because of the different depth perception (real
or perceived - I don't know).
Dave T's solution (playing with people who can see) reminds me of that old
joke where the fourth of a regular foursome - the one who can see - dies,
and the pro lines them up with another guy who has great eyes, but no
memory - so he sees the ball, but then can't remember where it went!

First, I almost always carry more than the allowed 14 clubs unless it
is a competition.
Today I found:
Yonex ADX300 Driver and 3wood. With GolfPride gold bubble grips.
Adams Tight Lies utility wood (a marvelous club). With original
leather grip.
BigBertha 7wood with original graphite shaft and rubber grip.
Wilson Staff mid size cast 2iron. Green Victory grip.
Wilson Staff Ultra45 irons 3 thru SW & LW. Green Victory grip.
Titleist DCI gold SW. Green Victory grip.
Ping Cushin putter with Tiger Shark oversize putter grip.
Best to All

Has anyone done anything scientific with the results, such as calculating
the percentage of RSGers who carry a lob wedge or the number who own more
than one putter? Would be very interesting for spotting trends (hint to
those of you in the golf business)

Driver - Big Bertha knockoff w/ Harrison Tour II stiff graphite
shaft and Golf Pride Tour Velvet wraps
3 and 5 W - Golfsmith Jetstream w/ Brunswick UCV304 stiff
steel shafts and Tour Velvet wraps
2 i - Tommy Armour 855 knockoff w/ Harrison Tour II and
Tour Velvet wraps
3-PW - Penick Masters w/ Penick stiff steel shafts and
Penick wrap grips
56 SW - Hogan Tour Series w/ stiff Apex 4 shaft and
Tour Velvet wrap
Putter - Wilson forged Tour Special II (I believe this is
a mid-1980's version of the 8802 blade) w/ Golf Pride
Classic rubber grip (I finally replaced the orignal leather)
The Velvet Wraps are really nice grips. I've just recently
switched over from Tour Wraps, which have always been
reliable (except when it's really wet!). The Penick grips are
nice and tacky, but lack a little bit on softness. They're a nice
cosmetic touch for the clubs but I may switch to the velvet
wraps before long.
I made everthing except the Hogan and Wilson (obviously).
The Penicks are really nice feeling clubs, better (IMHO) than
the DCI's or the new Ping ISI's (which I recently did some
comparison hitting against). I would rate them equal with
Zing 2s. I'm thinking about making a new driver with a
titanium face insert and ultra-lightweight graphite shaft to get
more distance. I'd be curious if anybody has any opinions
on this combination.

Sure, me too. "Clank," yeah, felt like a weak s***k, should be
dead right about 30 yards; "clank," uh huh, felt like a pulled s***k,
should be right, about 30 yards, and so on;-)
Oh, about the "real" thread. Replaced Ping Eye 2s with a home-
made set of Z Mod 2s--TTGold+ S300 5i 38 1/4", 2 deg uprite, and at the
time 5i swing speed was about 78. Screwed around with swing-wts till I
quasi-MOI matched them and haven't looked back since. I have some assorted
"metals" and the be thing (IMHO) to say to aspiring club-makers is "it
may not be the arrow" If you arn't improving stop building clubs, at
least after the third one;-)
I have some "duck" tape wrapped on a golf pencil which comes in
handy to check on where the ball is making contact, and some band-aids.

I dunno, I think it's more interesting to find out what is in someone's
bag BESIDES their clubs...
Me?...
Oh....
1. Dead grass clippings stuck to half-eaten Snickers bar
2. Several greasy golf gloves that will get a hole in them any day now
3. Loose tees that keep poking my fingers when I reach in there
4. Variety of balls for all conditions; balatas with smileys cut into
them and hard cover balls with big cart path abrasions on them. All
found; none bought with my own money except for the rare ones I used in
tourneys.
5. Overpriced plastic doodad with elastic that keeps clubs dry in rain;
really works but no bargain considering it is only a big baggie with panty
elastic on both ends
6. Dry scorecards that were once wet
7. '96 rule book that has been repeatedly wet; pages stuck together
8. Divot fixer from Walt Disney world that has Mickey engraved on it
Ok, who's next?

Just so happens I was digging around in there to get my sunglasses today...
Balls, tees, clubs, etc. were mentioned previously.
Ten round ticket from the par-3 ten minutes from the office.
2.00 off range bucket coupons--about three sheets of 'em (one expired)
Impact tape (recorders) left over from my lesson Saturday.
Free round coupon for a resort in the Poconos (picked up at a golf show
this winter--I keep all golf items with such value in the same place)
Ball markers which came with my ball mark tool
(they give you a 20-year supply)
Spare spike (found it one day)
Empty water bottle
Empty beer can in insulating jacket (considering the SOBs who held up
the whole [blasphemy] course Sunday, I wished it was something stronger)
House keys
Receipt for Saturday's lesson
$5.00 off greens fee at Ashbourne
Half off greens fee at Skippack
Club brush
88c in change
Six greens fee receipts
Two pencils
and in the bottom of the big pocket... my sunglasses.
A tip for those of you who read this far!--Went to the range today and
worked out all the bad karma from Sunday's round. Saturday's lesson (first
since winter) identified the cause of my slice (woods only, straight 150
yards then a _sharp_ right): a strong left hand causing my clubface to open
at impact. On further consideration, I concluded that being a natural
left-hander playing golf righty (see other thread) was part of the cause,
my years as a cricketer another part (the basic forward batting stroke has
the left hand well out in front of the ball)
So, the pro had me swing the club like a baseball bat a few times to get a
feel for opening and closing my clubface. In the baseball swing, think of
rotating the bat as you hit the ball. I then made up a drill where I first
roll my right hand through the ball to try to hit a hook, then balance my
hands and hit straight.
The same kind of advice could apply in reverse if you are prone to smother
hooks or to low balls which start out left.

Yes, but does it make any difference if you are wearing the
