See you on the 9th green at 9
Doesn’t really do much
Constantly have to think about it being up for manoeuvring
Constantly have to duck under the umbrella to push
Just annoying in general

Shot some really good scores in the rain. More than likely hardly anyone on course to stop momentum. Umbrella used. Towels essential.

yes.
good point about touching the umbrella and getting the hands wet.
When theres precipitation i enjoy chucking on the wet weather pants which keep me warm on cold mornings down the coast in winter. the jacket also useful.
i chuck the brolly into the mgi brella holder which addresses the issue of getting teh hands wet. but when the winds up it becomes a sail.
might do it tomorrow!

I also have a Titliest rain bucket hat. It's pretty good for passing showers or if you HAVE to play in wind AND rain. Umbrellas are useless in wind. Also being a bag carrier, if there's a chance of a shower, the hat is great. I've got a different set up for heavy rain. The buggy and water proof bag come out.

I use it on hot days as well. I don’t play in the rain or freezing cold. That’s come with age.

On a whim purchased a couple of ex-demo Vokey wedges from the pro shop. 52 & 60 degrees so will need to fill the gap.
Thought it was a low risk purchase given the average age of members (I think 67) means the clubs probably haven’t copped much.
The poor assistant pros on the other hand. They cop it from the over 67s

What are everyone's thoughts on off the rack vs fitted irons for a social 26 handicapper?
These are a ridiculously good price for a quality iron. Fitted these would cost like $1000+ more

Have you been fitted before and has your swing/swing speed changed? If the answer is yes and no and the specs on these irons are similar to your preference, go for it.

Can always get them fitted afterward for lie angle etc.? That's a pretty hot price. USD?
Swing probably changes month to month, I'm a tinkerer
Swing speed would be consistent, between 75-80, so I know my fitted shaft is regular, it was a KBS Tour Lite.

If they’ve got regular shafts, I’d just go for it. If you don’t like them, put them on eBay for $750 and you’ll pretty much get your money back.Swing probably changes month to month, I'm a tinkerer

AUD, it's an amazing price for those irons...

Where are they being sold? Not that I would get in ahead of you or anything like that...
Toowoomba QLD

No they are at the Golf Clearance Outlet, I will go and try and check them out this weekend if they're still available

Combine them with an iron fitting session for a few hundred bucks and you will sorted.

At least you would not be missing an important iron from your set up. And they will be heaps better than your current ones. That Hybrid suited you. If it was reg...just get reg irons. Some irons the can be bent to your lie angle...I don't think it is too expensive. Forged ones.

Last time I bought new irons, I got my pro to put the new heads on my old shafts because they'd been fitted for me.

Sorry, I thought you were saying that you were in Toowoomba. My mistake.
