My new clubs are in! All one of you who have read before that I was out of commission for a while waiting for new clubs to come in know my excitement about finally having a set of clubs bought specifically tailored to my game.
Well, they finally arrived: the Taylor Made Burner 2.0 irons.

I got them in on Friday, and promptly played a round on Sunday as well as this morning. Here’s what I learned from playing these new, beautiful irons: they hit well, but I still have to hit them right. This is why I was so against getting fitted for so long — you can’t rely on fancy, expensive equipment to fix your game, only solid fundamentals and a lot of practice will do that. Thus, my clubs really did make the game more enjoyable, but it wasn’t a night-and-day difference. It’s obvious I still have work to do to be more consistent.
I also learned that getting new golf equipment is a lot like getting a tattoo (or what I’m told about getting a tattoo; I don’t have one but my sister and some friends have many). Once you buy one thing, you immediately want something else. I was dreaming of new drivers, woods, putters, the whole bag!
