  For me you will get the most out of 2 decent wedges. But match them to your ideal iron set when you upgrade (eg so they fit in distance wise with your ideal set, not your current irons).

  Then probably a putter.

  You have low scrambling stats (20ish %) so every time you miss the green, you will usually make bogey - these will dramatically improve if you practice all the shots).

  You are a Tour Pro so distance is not such an issue so driver/woods are not required IMO but by having 2 good wedges you will improve around the green and dialling in your wedges - even using a starters ball.

  Obviously a good cheap ball such as the Tour SD would also help a lot.

  I agree with Alanti  wedges first, then irons, putter, hybrid, three wood, last is your driver

  Great work Jim on the website - a ton of helpful tips. 

  Also evidence that you and your senior members will help and guide newer players.

  Driver > Putter > Wedges > Irons > Woods.  Driver gets you closer to the hole so you have a much easier approach shot.  Wedges are great but if you're not close enough to the hole the only benefit you get from them is from bunkers, close to the green/rough etc. 

  Imo more focus should be in getting your approach shot closer to the pin (on the green).  Driver is the clear winner (imo) here.  Putter helps you drop more putts!  Picture this, you're trying to Learn to putt.  How are you going to learn if your putter hits a different line (from same spot) every time you strike it.

  I've progressed to Legend fairly quick and I took the above upgrade path.  Good luck and good shooting!
