He spent nine holes with me making doubles and triples while trying to show me how far he could hit his irons. In fact, he hit the about the same distance I did but had no control over them. On most holes, he came up short of the green.

This experience made me a bit leery to trust the pros at Sarasota Golf Center. I got the feeling that they are more interested in selling a set of clubs than helping golfers.
I bought Adams A2 when i first arrived but it came with four hybrids I was having difficulty hitting. so I purchased a set of Callaways. Discovered i had to use one more club with the callaways. told mt pro. He said bring in the Adams. Discovered the Adams had longer shaft ) approx 2-3 inches longer and were listed a standard????

Despite multiple lessons from a number of pro's new clubs etc my game has not appreciated much because I lack the essential ingredient needed "skill". the best thing I have done to improve my game is "lower my expectations
