  Any suggestions for a hacker? Also any clubs?

    Thanks in advance.

  Hi,  my 1st suggestion is to get rid of your EZ-Swing iron set.  Change to the regular WGT starter iron set (already available to you) so that you can actually control your approaches.  You have little or no control with anything labeled EZ-Swing. 

  2nd, I would play a lot more ranked stroke play and have fun on different courses.  Ranked Stroke play will enable you to advance because your stats are counted.  Don't worry too much about your average and stats.  Just enjoy the various courses and get used to all of them.  Your average will drop naturally and stats will improve as you continue to play and get better.

  3rd, no need at this point to consider better equipment.  Work yourself up through the amateur and pro tiers, then start looking at equipment when distance and better accuracy are needed as you approach master level.

  All the best, -Keith

  +1 to above.

  Make sure you get your daily 880XPs.  1 hole via on a course via community link when busy does it. 

  Then stock answer:

  L40s - ping wedges are greats value..3 evenly spaced ones with G20s in mind

  L59 G20 irons (first point really should consider something IMO)

  Ball wise you are paying loads for a slower meter, and not much in the way of attributes for that.  With starter clubs thrown in not best value or use of ?  Have a look at the WGT balls, and if really wanted premium the Lethal ball looks worth a look.  Until L59 and those G20 irons though....

  Putter / Shot pal...well some like them and some hate them.  I use the writing on my meter for a cheap shot pal, and for putting I have a simple paper one under my screen (and got used to that).

  Putter.  Starter is good but loads of reasonably priced better ones. L35 Ghost is a little gem IMHO.Loads of forum advice for that:) Do read that advice.  One of the best players uses a L30 putter and another can putt with the L19 Spider (if not the starter or a stick of any sort).  Superb genuine players, and so what do I know I accept.
