What the heck? Why is C F S all together in ***?

What the heck? Why is C F S all together in ***?
I was looking at my clubs today and wondering how much I should budget for new clubs in the future. I bought the set about 5 years ago but they still seem to be very good (better than me). They are Ping G25's (the irons). I'm not worried about the driver because of course I'm going to by a new one frequently in the hope that some day they'll make a driver I can hit straight 300 yards. But back to the irons. How often do you think a set should last? What are some of the things that lead you to look at replacing irons. It wood be nice to think they can just be regripped and used for another 10 years but I'd like to hear from some experienced golfers. FWIW, I golf a couple times a week for about 6-7 months of the year. Less per week in the spring and fall. So, maybe 50 to 75 rounds a year.
Tomorrow will be a special golf Tuesday for me. I’m going to one of the nicest courses in Michigan. Maybe not the best course in Michigan or the U.S., but for sure one of the nicest I’ve ever played. Certainly one of the most expensive. Definitely a spending money day. I’m sure we’ll be going out to a nice dinner afterwards. Hopefully the least expensive part of the trip will be the trip to the casino afterwards. Only luck and my self control will determine that. Anyway, first thing’s first - golf well. I’m not a good golfer but I’ve been breaking 100 lately. Hoping to do so tomorrow. Will give update on Wednesday.

I'm still experiencing growing pains with my new golf swing, but yesterday's round was a step in the right direction. I lost 4 balls and made 3 quadruple bogeys, but in spite of that only shot a 94 as I played well on 14 of the 18 holes.

Shot Clock Masters!
19 minutes faster on average, ZERO shot clock violations! Yes!
I really feel your pain. Also going thru a radical change, hitting straighter but having trouble just making good contact, mishits galore. I am losing fewer balls because I’m hitting much straighter, but I’ve only broken 90 once in the last three week since my lessons started. Last year is was averaging 84 and broke 80 twice. But I am convinced the pro is right and I’m sticking with the new swing no matter how long it takes. Takes a while to undo decades of doing it wrong.I'm still experiencing growing pains with my new golf swing, but yesterday's round was a step in the right direction.

Do any of you take balls “out of service” after a while, or do you keep playing them until they have obvious damage (scuffs, etc.)? I’ve read today’s balls are almost indestructible, you can’t cut one anymore like the old days, and their shelf life is in years nowadays.

Yep, I remember when one bad swing could render a ball unplayable.I remember when balls had a "smile" on them
I start every round with a new ball. If it lasts the round, it becomes the "next" ball if my original is lost in a subsequent round.

I think that could be my golf theme song. I’m doing another series of lessons & it’s painful trying to consistently do what my instructor says. I think I really need to spend more time on the range & less time on the course for a while.
But, it’s too much fun playing with buddies.
