Here's a review Erik did of the custom shop a while back http://thesandtrap.com/archives/club...ustom_shop.php

OK, I got another question for you... How about your sleeper, winner and biggest dissapointment picks for the PGA Championship? - Joe, OH

What is your opinion on the ladies playing in PGA events and men (vandy) trying to play in LPGA events?

You think 878 yards is alot.... I found this today after reading the original post:

I'm just glad to see that Tommy is gone. He has to have one of the ugliest golf swings I have ever seen. Plus, that southern accent.... Jeez, how annoying.

This upcoming winter will be my first offseason since I started to play golf. I was hoping to add a couple of clubs to my collection during this time. I don't know if this is true or not since this is my first offseason, but I figured prices should start to drop around late November and December. Is this true? Is there usually a different in prices of golf stuff when it can't be played? I was trying to figure out if I should start to just buy stuff now or wait a couple of more months for the possible deals.

Has anybody else heard of these new Noodle balls, the Noodle Ice? The cover of the ball is transparent which obviously allows you to see the core (which is either lime, lemon, tangerine and raspberry in color). Sounds like a cool gimmick ball. I think I would at least try them, but I don't like the idea of using a color ball. Here is the press release about them:

Well this is the putter that I have in fact chosen to treat myself with this offseason, the Titleist by Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2. Unfortunately there are not many choices for a left handed golfer if you want to buy a Scotty Cameron. It has gotten better, but I can't believe that companies are still making products primarily for right handed golfers and then throwing some scraps to us lefties.

I agree with you Erik. I have never seen a putter (or a golf club in general) look as good as a Scotty Cameron. If people are willing to pay $300+ for a driver that they use only maybe 12-14 times a round then how much more so should you be willing to pay that for the single most important part of the game? Thanks for your insight. Now excuse me while I find my black jumpsuit and ski mask..... I have to pay a visit to the local bank.

This offseason the major golf purchase I want to make is to buy a new putter. And of course when thinking of putters everyone always starts with the Scotties. However, I was wondering if these putters are really worth the $100-$200 extra that they go for? Is the quality really that much better then the other name brand putters out there? Any information that you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! The two putters that I've looked at so far are the Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport or the TaylorMade ACGB Daytona 1.

I was also looking at buying an Ogio stand bag and I stumbled across this deal today: http://store.rockbottomgolf.com/02ogi04novk.html It's the Ogio 2004 Novak Stand Bag for only $59.99! Hopefully, if you like this particular bag, this deal can help you out and save you a decent amount of money. Good luck to you on your quest to spend your graduation money.

I got them from this website.... http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/index.html They seemed to have a whole bunch of great stuff for really cheap prices.

Well the search is over.... As of 3:02 PM EST I became the proud owner of a brand new set of Taylor Made 200 Series Irons (3-PW). Complete with graphite shafts and a stiff S90 flex shaft. All for the low, low price of $219.98 (including tax and 2nd day shipping)! Thanks for the help everyone! I really appreciate it. Now I'll have to find a matching bag....

What do you guys think of the Tommy Armour 845's? I've read a lot of good things about these clubs online. Not to mention that they only cost on average about $200 for a new set.

Jeepthrills, I'm glad that my post was the one that elevated you to such a prestigious position here at the Sand Trap. Good luck on your quest to become a head pro!
