Okay, here we go. Let’s talk about that “fred couples witb” thing I was messing with today.
So, first off, I gotta admit, I didn’t even know what WITB stood for. Figured it out eventually – “What’s In The Bag.” Duh. Anyway, I was just screwing around, thinking about golf, and Fred Couples popped into my head. Super smooth swing, right?
I started by just Googling “Fred Couples WITB.” Wanted to see what kind of clubs the guy actually uses, or used to use. I’m more of a casual golfer, so I’m not super up-to-date on all the latest gear, but I do like seeing what the pros are playing.
The Research Phase
- First, I looked at a bunch of old forum posts and articles. Some were kinda outdated, but gave me a general idea of his preferences – Titleist, obviously. He was using some old school Titleist drivers.
- Then I dug a bit deeper, trying to find something more recent. Found a few articles talking about his clubs from like, the last couple of years on the Champions Tour.
- I noticed he still keeps some older clubs in the mix. Not afraid to stick with what works, which I respect.
The “Trying to Replicate” Part (Sort Of)
Okay, so I wasn’t actually gonna buy all the same clubs as Freddie. I’m not made of money! But I thought it would be fun to see how his setup compares to mine, and maybe get some ideas.
Here’s what I did:
- I wrote down the clubs he was using based on what I found online – driver, fairway woods, irons, wedges, putter.
- Then, I compared that to what’s in my bag. Big difference, obviously. I’m rocking a hodgepodge of stuff I’ve collected over the years. Nothing fancy.
- I thought about why he might choose certain clubs. Like, what kind of shots is he trying to hit? What kind of course is he playing?
- I even went out to the driving range and tried to mimic his swing (badly). Let’s just say I’m no “Boom Boom” but I did have fun thinking about smooth tempo.
The Takeaway
Honestly, it was mostly just a fun, nerdy exercise. I didn’t learn any groundbreaking secrets about golf, but it did make me think a little more about my own equipment choices. Maybe I should upgrade my driver sometime soon… Nah, probably not. But it was cool to pretend to be Fred Couples for a few hours!
The real takeaway? Golf is fun, even when you’re just thinking about it. And Fred Couples is a legend.
