It's going to be great opening packages in the next few days. I have a bunch of new gear on the way to replace my crappy third hand castouts. I have a set of Mizuno MX950 irons and hybrids on the way, and a three club set of Cleveland CG14 wedges in 52, 56, and 60. I can't wait! I'm stoked and ready to spend some range time to get aquainted with some new toys. My no-name driver and cheap TopFlite 3&5 woods are nervous, but I keep trying to convince them that they are safe, and will not be replaced(yet). My putter is spoiled and already knows it has a place in my bag forever.

Now I just need to figure out a way to be home everyday before my wife until all this gear arrives, or I'll owe her some horse stuff.

In my Costco stand bag:

Tech A4 9015D 10.5 w/stock stiff Matrix Ozik
F60 16.5 4 wood w/stock stiff Exsar
Pro Gold 18* and 23* hybrids w/ Matrix Ozik reg J36 PC 5-PW Project-X Rifle flighted 5.0 CG14 52*, 56*, and 60* standard bounce Island Series Antigua AD333

Very nice. I just purchased a new driver and a new set of irons to replace my 15yr old set of clubs. I'm still looking for fairway woods and a couple of hybrids to round out the bag. The only clubs I have that are safe are my lob wedge, and my putter... they've been very good to me lately.
Enjoy the shiny new toys!

Congrats on the new sticks.

I love those wedges.

Better fess up to the wife...and soon. I suspect horse stuff costs way more than any golfing gear, though.

Part of the joy of getting new golf stuff is the repeated tracking of the package and rushing to meet the delivery guy before the wife gets home...that's so wrong. I don't feel too guilty though. She does the same with her clothing orders.

Two things:

Oh yes. Horse stuff. When your wife complains about not having a hobby, DO NOT suggest to her anything to do with horses. Trust me here. If I could go back eight years, I would have said "knitting" or "golf" instead of "riding horses". She doesn't really care for my hobbies, which are fishing and golf, but she is "all in" on the horse stuff. Tack, lessons, boarding, hoof care, vet bills.....all that stuff. I bet the horse hobby is at least as expensive as 4-5 times a month bass fishing and twice a month golf on my local course.

Actually, I just kid about keeping new clubs from her. She's great in every way, and we are lucky enough to be able to enjoy our hobbies to just about whatever extent we want to without bothering each other about it. Horses make her happy, so I'm all for that. I'm happy to be on the lake or pulling my hair out on the course, and she's all for that, and keeping each other happy is what it's all about.

My wife's hobby is Facebook. On the one hand, that's free. On the other hand, golf is infinitely more expensive than freaking Facebook...so I almost feel like I'm sometimes not allowed to spend money on golf.

So you're saying if I can get my wife to start riding horses and stuff then I can get a new driver, 3-wood, stand bag, and wedge? Okay, I'm going to give it a shot.

Or......just go and get the stuff anyway. If she's fully engrossed in Facebook, she'll never notice. If she does happen to notice, and gives you the business, just tell her to calm down, and tell her that I said it was OK for you to get the gear.

Piece of cake, right?

    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).
