we have a tour bag and going through my snacks and like I’m a big snack guy I could have 15 different snacks in there they have snacks in there right now I’m struggling I I got a couple the top three things man bars there a guy named Ben Crane who plays golf he approved of them they’re pretty healthy perfect bars refrigerated peanut butter bars they’re high in calories 130 little bite so it’s good and then the right stuff hydration packets and some pain meds just in case 36 whole days something happens got to be strapped that’s it right now but normally during a tournament there’s sandwiches different kinds of nuts tacos why not just throw it all [Music] in hey team titlist I’m Cole Sherwood I’m a senior at Vanderbilt this is my golf bag I play The proview One X golf ball I actually switched last year I used to play the probi one because it helped me flat it down but then I realized it’s honestly easier to take spin off than it is to add Spin and so I switched to the X it goes higher a little bit more versatility into greens and um the extra spin is really good when we’re playing firmer conditions especially out this week I heard it’s pretty firm and so it’s going to help me a lot attacking front pins when a little bit more spin a little bit more height to it I used to use the train tracks with three lines on it but with the new putter it sets up so well with my lines that I just do a DOT on the proview one and then I do one on the tidalist and so longer puts I don’t want to be too long locked in on my line I use the dot and the tilus and I look at it when I putt but then on shorter putts I use the line I I look the dot in the middle of it this is my favorite Club in the bag I got fit for the shaft actually here at TPI I think six or seven years ago it’s a speeder um 661 TR I don’t think it’s made anymore so just trying to keep it in one piece right now I have the tsr3 10 Dee head I’ve played 10° for a while now I like the spin that it generates and uh been really happy with this club so going to keep this broken grip on until I’m ever struggling and then get a new feel going down to my bag I fluctuate a lot different clubs depending on conditions so for example this week out in Carl’s bat I brought I brought a hybrid and two different three IRS it just depends on what the course calls for so I use this hybrid this is a TSI 3 it generates a lot of Spin and so if I’m playing firm greens that I’m hitting a lot of shots from 230 to 250 into the greens I like to use this club but for the most part I typically play this three iron it just goes pretty far off the tea and it spins quite a bit less in the hybrid and so when I’m playing a course I’m hitting a lot of maybe Fairway finders or a lot of t-balls with I like this club because it gets out there pretty far and I can also hit into greens if I need to and so I like to have a lot of Versatility depending on what the conditions call for and then now I’m playing the uh T100 irons they’re really just overall great irons I can work it both ways but they’re also really forgiving I played CBS in the past but I like the new T 100s cuz they look like a CB they feel like a CB but they’re a little bit more forgiving and then for wedges it’s a pretty standard setup I use a 46 Dee pitching wedge vogi wedge I just like the look of it more and helps me flight wedges down compared to a T100 pitching wedge and then around the greens I think it’s a little bit better to use the bounce on this one and so I do like that a lot versatility that this brings and then I use a 50° 12 F grinds just a really stable Club I recently switched my setup I went 52 56 and 60 but I noticed a bigger gap between my 52 and my 46 so I changed that so heuse a 50 Dee now which goes around 130 yards and then I added a 55 degree which goes around 115 so it really bridg that gap between my irons my 60° and the 55 is a 14f and so I have a little bit more balance on this one because whenever we’re playing bunkers with a lot of sand especially out this week you’re really cuts through better and comes out more solid than a low balance club and then my 60° of an A+ it’s just a very versatile wedge it’s a little bit shaved off in the back compared to a am grind and so I can really get under it but also has enough balance on full shots that I can generate a lot of spin from the Fairway so it’s just an overall really good club you can kind of use anywhere and then the newest edition is my bag it’s a Scotty Cameron t1.5 and I got it 37 in so it’s a little bit counterbalanced I’ve always liked the look of a longer Putter and this is finally one that I like the feel of so it has that mil face of a nice Scotty Cameron but also the Plumber’s neck and the longer shaft I just kind of feel like it goes to the ball for you there’s not a whole lot to it and then you can see like all these lines and this main silver shaft kind of sits really well and lines up well and so I used to put the line but I don’t have to anymore I sow the ball down and then use these back lines to to line it up
