8 years since my previous review. I changed clubs almost annually. Different manufacturers. 6…read moremonths ago I bought an entire set of vintage 2017 Ping G400 irons, 4 iron thru lob wedge. Got them for a low price on eBay from a brick n' mortar golf store in Alabama. In excellent condition. 2 months ago out of curiosity I attended a Ping demo day at my local golf course. Wanted to smack some of the latest models of clubs. While hitting some balls rather poorly the Ping guy says to me "Here, let's put you in a green dot 2 degrees upright, it will straighten out your shots". 5 swings with arrow straight ball flights I admit that he is absolutely correct. So rather buy a whole set of new clubs for close to $1600 I decide to have my perfectly useable 8 year old Pings modified. I send them off to the factory repair shop. I learn that the waiting list for the work is 4 - 6 weeks. After a kerfuffle with my work order the clubs do come home to me in six weeks. I'm totally satisfied with the modifications. The shop even polished up the heads. My cost for modifying 10 clubs was $36 plus $20 for return shipping. Fantastic! Like I said in my 2017 review, after playing golf clubs from many, many manufacturers I am the best potential golfer with Ping clubs. Oh, my driver, 5 wood and 3 hybrid are also Ping. Just my putter is a Taylormade Spider. Which is kind'a hilarious as Ping started out as a golf putter company.

If you live in north Phoenix and want to improve your golf game, then book yourself a few lessons…read morewith Jeff Allen over at Lookout Mountain. Jeff is a patient and experienced teacher of the game. He's able to quickly analyze my swing, identify areas of improvement, and communicates his suggestions in a way that's very digestible, for new and experienced players alike. I highly recommend the $400 package that includes 4 60-minute range sessions and a 2-hour, 9-hole playing lesson. I went from shanking every other shot to hitting consistently flush golf shots in a matter of weeks. If you are ready to commit (or re-commit to golf, as in my case) to the beautiful game, do yourself a favor and book a few lessons with Jeff before your next round.

Even mid-construction, with unfinished furniture (pardon the dust in the pic!) I felt the magic of this place. It's a perfect size and format. I can't wait to go back with two primary use-cases in mind: 1. I'm decent at golf, but I really want to be better. And the way that golf tech has evolved lately puts professional level data right at my fingertips. Why wouldn't I want to get scientific about my swing? Blades has the cutting-edge technology that will allow me to spend the time in a climate-controlled and cozy environment to dial things in and practice practice practice. But also... 2. Bring a group of friends and have fun playing on the type of courses I may never get to visit in real life. Pebble Beach, anyone? The simulator has practically everywhere. Oh, and my fav local watering hole is literally right next door. A perfect pairing for fun with a group! I'm thrilled to see this opening in my neighborhood - I think everyone will love it!

AS LONG AS RALPH WORKS THERE WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO VAN'S Went to Van's a couple of weeks…read moreago to look for a 9 wood golf club for my husband. We have been in Van's many, many times and have spent thousands of dollars through the years. We have always had great experiences up till now. We had the misfortune to get Ralph as our salesperson on this day. He was rude, condescending and unprofessional from the beginning. He made it very obvious he didn't believe we were the type of people who should be in a store like Van's! He finally showed us the club we were interested in, but when we asked to hit it, at first he declined (rolled his eyes). Husband asked a couple of times and Ralph finally agreed. He then proceeded to stand next to my husband and make ugly remarks about his age, weight and even asked if my husband had ever even played golf! We handed him the club and left. Never going back to Van's as long as Ralph works there Side note - We went to Dick's Sporting Goods and bought the club that same afternoon. Great service, knowledgeable staff, better prices than Van's

We did run into a little hiccup with pace of play. The group behind us got frustrated and contacted the manager, who politely asked us to pick up the pace and stay with our group. Totally understandable--we knew we were moving slowly. Despite that, we had a great time. It may not be the top-tier course in Phoenix, but it's affordable, beginner-friendly, and worth checking out.
