Back to the original question.
+1 on using 2-3 year old technology, particularly if you're not making a living at the game. Currently, I'm playing a TaylorMade r7 Draw 10.5, which can be had new at Golfsmith for $199.
I play to an 18 (down from 24 in last year) - not great, but I can get myself around a course pretty well.
Lack of distance is always an issue for me - I'm lucky if I can hit driver more than 230, but am happy when its out there 200+. As others have said, key is keeping it in play.
I'm 50+, so for me, practicing my short game is how I'm going to get my scores down. I've broken 90 a few times, so I know I'm capable of doing it - I just need to work on my consistency.
I'm realistic - I only picked up golf about 6-7 years ago, so I don't have 30 years of muscle memory (or the flexibility) that some guys do that have been playing their entire lives, but I'm not a total hack either. I figure that if my interests are Porsches and golf, that's not such a bad thing.
