Most of my admittable problems are gaps.

I went through 3 sets of sticks one year, maybe it was 4. Now my bag looks like a garage sale with two different brands of woods and four different brands of irons. Once I sold an old set of Ping Eye's I found I never could get a set to match up correctly. The angles are all poorly crafted. Most of my clubs are made by Armour, I've heard from some club pros that Mizumo has better quality control but after going through all those sets in one season I'm reluctant.

Even a clubmaker cannot straighten my wedges out. I have a gap from 150 on the 8 to 135 on the 9 to 115 on the PW to 90 on the SW. Then going the other way my 7 is 155ish, my 6 is about 163 my 5 is 170ish and my 4 is about 180.

So if I have accurate yardage I can play target golf with my long sticks but if I'm 125, say, out from the green I have no club for that. If a par 3 is 143 I'm either short using 9 or in the parking lot cursing at the 8.

My other problems I do not admit to.
