Best Round Ever with Rental Clubs (83)! Should I Buy a New Driver?

Hey guys… I just had the best round of my life, shooting an 83, and I did it with a set of rental clubs. I usually shoot around 100, so this is a huge improvement for me. Now I’m wondering, should I buy a new driver? Thanks for any advice…

That’s a great rental set. Congrats!

15 clubs. Out of luck. Sorry.

Great round. Did you shut off your brain to do it?

I just tried to stay loose. Made the mistake of checking my scorecard on the 9th tee—saw I was +5 and immediately triple-bogeyed the hole.

Sounds like my friend who said ‘just don’t 4-putt here’ and of course, I did just that.

You went +8 on the front and finished +11? Great job getting it back on track! My best round I was +3 over 12 holes, ended +13 :smile:

There are 14 clubs, not 15.

I counted multiple times—pretty sure you’re being a smartass.

Maybe the putter looked like two clubs?

Or just track down and buy an exact copy of every club in that bag.

You might be able to buy them from the course.

Back in the day, I did that. Played a great round with a rental set and bought them from the course for $500—1, 3, 5 Callaway Steelhead III woods, Ping i3+ irons, and the bag. What a deal!

That’s incredible!

I still have a Steelhead III 3W! Landed just left of a par 5 green from 265 yards the other day. Beautiful club.

I did the same with my woods after renting in Hawaii.

Those are some quality rentals. Last time I rented, the clubs were 30-year-old Head irons.

Maybe 40 years old! That’s a solid rental set you had though. I’d use everything except the wedges.

Me: ‘Do you have clubs with stiff shafts?’
Pro-shop attendant: ‘I don’t even know what that means.’

You should ask what shaft is in that driver. The shaft matters more than the head.

That’s not what my girlfriend says.
