Although it was not a Titleist, because at that point in my life I knew nothing about golf...my friends bought me a cally Big Bertha War Bird driver. As I got more into it, I bought png Zing II set of irons and a TM Bubble Shaft Burner driver. Later, I got some Lynx Black Cat Irons...then I woke up...lol and got some Titleist DCI 762B which had to be my best set of irons I've had ..then I moved into the original AP2's in '08 and just recently got some 712 AP2's which are some awesome clubs.

As a lefty, clubs were few and far between for me. My father had a friend who was played left-handed. In his garage were a barrel of old clubs. My dad was able to get his friend to allow me to rummage through the barrel for a few clubs. An old Spaulding (I think) mid iron, in a wood shaft. Yes, a wood shaft. I started playing with this club and a few others. Old persimmon woods too. I actually credit my swing tempo to starting out with these old shafts and heads. Glad that technology has changed things though.

I remember raiding my dad's set of clubs in the early 90's. All I remember was that they were Wilson blades and the woods were actually woods. I remember stealing some of his orange golf balls (Spalding) and hitting them at the park. He had a few Titleist balls, but I was too scared to take those.

It was a 5-iron when me and my uncle snuck onto a golf course with his dog and played a loop of 2 holes with only that club.

First clubs I hit and owned were a pair of wedges. I couldn't afford a whole set at the time, so I took the advice of a friend who suggested I get wedges because I could hit them almost anywhere.

52* and 56* cleve's

I had a red, junior 5 wood that belonged to my older sister. McGregor, I want to say. After the 86 Masters (the first time I had ever watched golf), my dad took me out to play. I hit that 5 wood on a 110 yard par 3, put it on, and 2 putted for par. I was hooked. 27 years later, I think of what that day meant to me, my dad, and the world of golf when The Bear came out of hibernation.

It was my father putter in Wahiawa, Hawaii at a Military course in 1971. I remember I sunk a putt across the entire practice green.

The first golf club I ever used was a cheesy putter at the local putt putt when I was a kid :-)

The first club I ever hit was my father-in-law's pitching wedge. Just doing some chipping in the back yard. I've played sports all my life left handed and his clubs were all right handed. Surprisingly had some decent touch but I soon found out once I picked up the game I was going to play left handed. I was hooked after that day! Haven't looked back since.

First real club after the large plastic green one was a MacGregor PW of my fathers. I would watch my father practice chipping from the front yard to the back yard over the house. One day I thought I could do the same thing. I grabbed his PW and a ball headed to the back yard to hit the ball over the house. That didn't work out too well as the ball only made it through the window, on the first floor. This was one of so many windows that needed to be replace. After the shot was heard through the house, my father said, "at least you kinda got the ball up."

Awesome topic.

The first clubs I used were my dads set of 1971 Wilson Staff blades. I was 8 or so and would beat golf balls around the yard.

My first set of clubs were Ben Hogan blades when I was 10. My dad cut them down for me and taught me to play. I have been hooked on golf since.

Great topic.

This is something I remember vividly. The first club I ever hit was a 7-iron that I found in my dad's golf bag.

I was probably about 5 or 6 years old, and I also found a few golf balls. So, like most young boys I figured it would be a good idea to make the trip to my backyard, drop a few golf balls, and start hitting some shots.

My grandfather was always watching golf on Sundays, so I had an idea of what a swing should look like and after a few cuts, I was in business.

Now here's the problem with my first endeavor into golf, I was also using my Uncle's car as a target. Probably not the best idea I ever had but as an aspiring and inventive young golfer, I figured having a target was better than not having a target. And the neighbor's house was certainly not an option.

Needless to say, once my father heard a few clanks he came to see what was going on and when proudly showed him my swing - he kindly asked me to stop firing golf balls at the car.

From there it was off to the golf course and driving ranges.

As for my first on-course memory, that's a story for another day but let's say it may have involved a certain 6-year old driving off in a golf cart.

What can I say, I was a spirited young lad...
