First and foremost.... I am NO pro!

But I have wasted a good amount of time playing golf and wasted more money on golf stuff. The problem with buying the best equipment out there is you run out of excuses for bad shots. You can no longer blame your clubs...
I would forgo the minor upgrade in equipment and ask for a couple weeks of lessons from the best local pro you can find. That will knock more strokes off your game than shiney new weapons.
