Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Tom Kim and his “WITB” (What’s In The Bag) setup, and honestly, I got curious. I’m no pro, but I like to tinker with my gear, so I decided to do a deep dive and see what makes this guy’s bag tick.
First, I scoured the internet. I mean, I went down the rabbit hole of golf forums, YouTube videos, and equipment reviews. It was a mess, but a fun mess. I wanted to know everything – driver, irons, wedges, putter, even the damn golf balls.
Then, I started compiling all the info. I made a simple list, nothing fancy, just to keep track of all the different clubs and specs. It was kinda like putting together a puzzle, figuring out which pieces of information were reliable and which were just noise.
- Driver: This was a big one. Finding the exact model and shaft was tricky, but I eventually nailed it down.
- Irons: Same deal. Lots of digging, comparing different sources, and trying to get the most up-to-date info.
- Wedges: These were a bit easier, surprisingly. More consistent info out there.
- Putter: This was the most interesting part, actually. Seeing the specific model and any customizations he had was cool.
- Balls: Got those easy.
After that, I tried to find some videos of him actually playing, just to see the clubs in action. It’s one thing to read about the specs, but it’s another to see how they perform on the course. I watched a few tournament highlights and some practice rounds, paying close attention to his swing and how the ball reacted.
Finally, I put it all together. I had my list of clubs, my notes from the videos, and a pretty good understanding of his overall setup. It was like I had cracked the code, or at least gotten a glimpse into the mind of a pro golfer.
It was a fun little project. It didn’t magically improve my game, but it gave me a new appreciation for the equipment side of golf. And hey, maybe I’ll even tweak my own bag based on what I learned. Who knows?
