Cel7: .am i better to continue to buy new clubs to constantly enhance my ability to score well....or am i better to stay with a decent set of clubs and continue to invest in balls.
Definitely invest in wedges - those Starters are $%%!"$%!
In general, I'd support bossbird's opinion. It's nonsense to play super (and super expensive) balls if a player lacks super clubs: The characteristics do not simply add up but they have to be on a par with each other.
But, first, go shopping for wedges!
