Wow, did I pick the wrong time to catch golf fever in Nebraska after 4 years away or what??!!!

Just joined this site and am looking forward to discussions and seeing the different equipment choices you all use.  I don't seem to have the option to edit my Signature yet.  Read something about having to post a few times?  I'll figure it out.

Anyway, back with golf fever after stopping cold turkey at the end of 2006 for various reasons.  Been on craigslist and ebay buying and selling like crazy since November getting ready for the spring.  Have collected 4 putters off ebay in the last 2 months.  Changing putters is a "hobby". That's actually how I found this Sand Trap site...reading all the reviews and forum discussions about the clubs I was looking at.

Well, looking forward to the discussions, learning, laughs, etc...

Thanks,

Tom

Welcome Tom,

Turns out anytime a person gets back into the game is a good time (at least from my perspective).

I am interested - what kind of putters did you pick up?

Though some people are a little too impatient to wait to win an auction on Ebay or perhaps a little worried about whether or not they are getting the genuine article, I have found Ebay to be a pretty good option for golfers who want to get a good deal.

My thing is - I want to hit the club - get the specs - and then shop around.

Once again, glad you found The Sandtrap.

Thanks for the welcome.

Regarding the putters I currently have in hand, here they are:

  • YES! Sophia
  • YES! Madison
  • Odyssey White Steel Tri Ball SRT
  • Odyssey White Hot Tour #7H (Selling this one)
  • Odyssey DF550 - from years ago
  • MacGregor V-Foil MOI M6.4K - from years ago

On the way...freshly purchased via ebay:

  • Heavy Putter L3 Mid Black Mallet
  • Nike IC 20-20A

Trying them out to see which to keep and which to sell.  Not much else you can do in Nebraska winter!

As of this moment, my favorites are the White Steel Tri Ball (the visual on that is EXCELLENT and it's VERY easy to pendulum dead straight) and the YES! Sophia due to mainly the look and feel.  Beautiful stick.
Can't wait to get outta the living and dining room and putt outside!

Stopped playing after the 2006 season due to $$ redirection (kids get more expensive as they get older-this just in) and due to my on course temperment.  Got down to a 4 HC and got to the point where I couldn't accept blowing up on a hole...expecting perfection basically.  Hard to explain.  It just got more frustrating than fun so it was time for a break.  Had no idea it would turn into a 4 year break.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
