Hey all,

Thank you all, I appreciate you taking time to offer advice and help. I'll certainly look into those links and do some searching myself. There is a quality range and facilities pretty close to me that supposedly has instruction and help available. I am going to visit it this week sometime when the heat goes down a tad in the evening.

As to the clubs, that's how I got the ones I have. The first one I picked up after deciding I was going to at least try it and I didn't want to die someday without ever even trying to do something that brought me so much happiness and joy earlier in my life. I stopped in one of the Sports Resale shops and found a used Mizuno MP33 with steel shaft and I got it for 5 bucks. Hey why not? It's not as if I was going to get worse and I had ALWAYS LOVED the looks of the Mizuno irons. So I walked out with a 6 iron and I changed the grips to one of the Tacki-Mac arthritic grips and it feels great in my hands.
The other 2, the 5 and 7 irons, they are DEMO clubs that were sent to me by a couple generous members on the forums.

I have never thought of using a SENIOR flexed iron. I suspect that the flexes on TODAY'S Graphite shafts are MUCH different than what I would be familiar with, the irons of the late 80's and early 90's. I have never swung a hybrid or one of those HUGE Drivers. I have to admit that I did get a bit excited when waggling one of those Drivers last year and looking down and seeing how HUGE they looked compared to those that I used to play with. They inspire the feeling that "I can't miss with this Baby" type of attitude. I assure you though, if there is a way to miss with these new LARGE head Drivers....I'll find it. I can't wait till I actually get to hit a real golf ball with one of these new style drivers. Just imagining it gets me excited to try again.

I'll keep an eye out for a senior flex iron to try. I'm kinda curious to see what happens with that myself.

Won't be able to try hitting for real again for another few weeks. I have to get my regular infusion of medication that makes it even fathomable for me to even entertain the notion of trying to play the game of golf again.

Thank you all again for your time and help. I'll check out the things you told me about.
