juzo, do they have a drummond down there? I picke dup first set of PGA's fitted for $600 with everything, best of all when i upgraded to my Taylor mades they traded them back in I only lost $150 on them. Best to have them fitted from scratch as it does make a big difference.

Yeah, Geelong people here are great, my game changed amazingly once I had my own clubs and the fact they were fitted to me. Well worth the trip, perhaps go see your local golf store and see what they offer in fit and play kits?

I'll be tripping out to the pro shop at the golf club as it's the only one around here now to my knowledge. Port fairy's pro shop is supposed to be good too so got a few places to suss out.

Commsirac, what do you mean Macgregor and Srixon are lesser regarded brands? Those two are fantastic brands.

.

Fantastic brands? no, fantastic clubs, maybe.

IMHO there is nothing wrong with the product, but in the marketing stakes they do nowhere near as well as titleist, taylormade, ping, calloway, nike, etc.

Even though Macgregor clubs cost similar to the others new, they dont retain their value second hand as well as the other brands(have a look on ebay, even check out what a 10yo set of pings are worth), ........hence why I gave them the description of less regarded, they make great buying for those not too worried about what others think.
Possibly the srixon image will improve as they are more visible now on the pro circuit.
