Any golfers out there?

So this is the annual weekend where the worlds best descend on Columbus, Ohio for the Memorial Tournament. Which reminded me of one of my favorite features in Golf Digest every month. It's where they pick a pro and say what clubs and ball they play. Just curious what you golfers are playing! I'll go first:
Driver(s): I have a Taylor Made R7 stiff shaft, and a Ping G2 Regular shaft.
Woods: I use a 3, 5, and 7 Ping G5.
Irons: I'm playing the Taylor Made R7's right now, 4 iron -Approach wedge.
Wedge: A ping 56 degree lob wedge.
Putter: Odyssey White Hot XG 2-Ball F7 Putter
Ball: I used to play Pro V1x, but I switched to a Bridgestone e6+ (which I LOVED) and now I just upgraded to the Bridgestone B330 ($8.50 a sleeve is not bad for a premium ball)
Bag: Callaway
Shoes: Foot Joys
Handicap: 11

Well, I have not played in a couple of years...mainly because my 15 yr. old confiscated my clubs when he joined the high school golf team. But, I am playing in a local charity tourny in a couple weeks, with my son I might add so I guess we will be sharing.
Anyway, last time I saw them there was a complete set of King Cobra, graphite shafts. Got me a jigger in there to get out of the woods, and a Ping putter with oversize head. I have no idea what brand shoes I last had, Foot Joy sounds familiar, and bag is of course King Cobra. Last time I played I was scoring around 88-90 (then I moved to the back 9.....just kidding).

Good grief.

I'm a PGA Professional working at a club in Phoenix area, I've been teaching golf for 12 years now. Between my job, having a 1 year old and 4 year old, and a wife with a more demanding job than I have, I don't play as much now due to home responsibilities. I play maybe twice a month, and practice twice a week
I'm on staff with Taylor Made and just got the Burner Superfast TP Driver, have only played one round with and hit it higher than I want, I also have an R9 460 TP and Ping G15 one of which will likely be back in the bag shortly.
R9 3 wood, and TP Rescue
Irons I'm back to playing the Burners though I have a set of R9 TP's as well
I still play Titleist Vokey Wedges
I have many many putters, currently using TM Spider
FJ shoes only
ProV1X Ball typically though I do like the Taylor Made Penta as well.

I used to play at least three times a week. Had my handicap down to an 8. Started my own business, and that came to a screeching halt, especially when my kids started high school. Now I only play 3 or 4 times a year. My bag is all King Cobra. I have a couple of hybrids for fairway shots. The last time I played was at the new TPC course here in San Antonio. What was funny was when I got to the Number 1 tee box and pulled out my Cobra driver with the 270cc head (I think that's the size), all my playing partners pull out these drivers with a 450 - 470cc heads on it. I said, "You guys think you can hit the ball with that head the size on a softball on it?" Two of the three shanked it into the trees first shot.

I've been using the Nike Sumo and the thing is so much fun to hit with. Sounds like you're hitting with an aluminum baseball bat.
I have a full set of clubs but I only really play with my PW, SW, 9-7-Putter-Driver.

lol, I've got a hand me down big bertha that is about 10 years old and is one of those small heads. (what size I dunno) But it was funny last time I played golf, the other guy had one of those over sized limit 550 cc or whatever it is. After enduring mockery every time I pulled it out every other rime I've ever played.. He asked to borrow it. Because he could hit his fairway woods fine, but not the driver. So he promptly smashed some 275 yard drives. And after the round headed to a pawn shop for a smaller head driver. I was laughing...
kjr_trig I'm still gonna go shopping for some new clubs, I just got postponed because of my wife and her transmissions refusal to work... I played these last 2 weekends, and I actually started hitting the ball with some degree of consistency... Which for me is wonderful!

I have now gotten to the point where I can hit the ball pretty much every time I swing at it. Where it goes after that is a complete mystery. Sometimes after I hit it I watch the ball and wonder what physics and spins are involved to make the ball do that.
My wife's best friend works for Titleist so I have a complete set of King Cobras(made by Titleist) She also has a complete Titleist set of clubs. Since he works for them both sets were gratis. We are so grateful because if it were not for that we would be playing with whatever clubs I could have found at the local thrift store.
Shoes - whatever I wore out of the house that morning, usually New Balance.
We did play at a scramble tournament a couple weeks ago and I think I had best ball twice

I know, surrounded by all those rich Republicans all day golfing! I'm almost good enough to pick off a conservative from 150 yards with my hybrid

Good to see you have some good influence in your life...

So Clemson, you don't have tickets to The Memorial? I see they're in another rain delay.
Yeah I was there for Saturday and the early groups on Sunday. I could hardly believe what Rickie Fowler was wearing. Kind of makes me a little happy he choked...

The All Sky Blue, or the Brilliant Orange? I forget which college colors he was supporting. I think it was the same school Jack went to, so I think he was doing a little brown nosing.
