It seems fairly impressive. It captures the basic features of my normal

发帖数: 23 | 3 Nice post. i have a Q regarding No17. just check out the price for “super-
game improvement golf club” and they(irons) are all over 500 and wonder if
there is any cheaper? (i think i only need pw/9/8/6 and it'll nice if i can
buy them individually therefore to cut the price).
PS. i have been playing on and off for a year using an old set from a friend

Golfers, normally, don't have to try the prime time, if time is available

Understand the swing may take 1 or 2 month, I guess. Before that, if try to

有天赋的年轻人了。 朋友极力拉我学golf， 我抱着试试看看的心情， 4月中旬开始跟
他学习。
刚开始2周， 7 iron偶尔就能打到150， 朋友说我潜力巨大， 逢人就夸， 我一边飘飘
