  I'm taking advantage of the 'free rental weekend' thanks to WGT !!

  Using the stand bag plus to switch a few configuations of sets for stroke play and C.T.T.H. easily, while saving my little brainpower for the courses. :)

  In #1 Blitz config. you see the NIKE 97 irons (with a meter of 3 that matches the Clevelands) plus the Callaway 33 to slow that meter down. Plus, the added short distance ATV (50yd), and the added Cleveland (115yd) just for kicks.

  In #2 Stroke play you see the Daytona Putter out for a test drive.

   [note in #2: just for fun,  the TaylorMade R11S 9.0 Driver (L94+) @ 284 yds, this has a meter speed of 3 so it matches the Clevelands & Nike 97s, instead of the longer R1 & BB both with a meter of 3.5]

  In #3 Blitz you see the starter ball (quick meter) being used in concert w/ the slower meter NIKE 85s (3.5)*, again the ATV (50yd,meter 3.5!) added and the TM R11S 3 Wood (L41+) (230yd, also 3.5 meter) which usually is not needed, but Pebble Beach, Bali Hai, Oakmont (which usually has tailwind) all have a 229yd+ holes. I like the shorter 3W at 230 that I won't have to choke.

  

  In #4 Blitz, again, the fast-meter starter ball, then NIKE 85s* & ATV wedges (both have a matching meter of 3.5!) The Cleveland 115yd for kicks, and TM R11S 3 Wood (L41+) at 230yds again.

  Thanks WGT, challenge & variety, never a dull moment for me.

  We just started a Free Rental weekend and as loyal Forum posters, we are giving you the chance to start renting clubs early.  So have some fun trying out some different clubs.

  As a second little perk, we have created two separate tournaments to run along with the British Open and the Free Rental Weekend.  The links are below.

   

  Required Club Tournament -  Make sure to read the entire list of what clubs are required

  the required club tournament was great, 4 birdies and 5 bogeys, i had no idea how far the clubs went from tee or fairway but it was fun, pitched in twice, one from 10yd and one from 14yd's which was nice. it was hard to know what to do with those clubs but it was an enjoyable 18 holes.

  could we get an uneven lies version of the required clubs tournament the net time you are setting one up?

  @WGTdbloshoe

  heres an idea for an uneven required clubs tournament: st andrews low wind without a driver (put an extra wood in the bag), its great fun with bunkers that come into play and there still is loads of birdies that can be made. it makes your club choice that little bit more tricky off the tee.

  the 17th works fine with low wind in your face using a 3 wood as you can make the fairway and leave around 235 to the middle of the green.

  the 15th is now a long 3 shot par 5 with the wind in your face which makes the hole that little bit harder.

  edit: forgot to say i played from the legend tees.

  Appreciate the Free Rental weekends, but for second time, I rented a club and it does not show up in my equipment available.  went back and tried to rent it again and received message "already rented".   Frustrating.
