She had the baby over at my parents house this morning while I was out messing around. They got to talking about my 30th birthday in July and my parents asked what I wanted. She told them, "he has been talking about this putter, but he said he would never buy one for himself...its called a Scott or something, or maybe it is made by a guy named Scott". They got to googling and found the Scotty Cameron website. My dad was sold when he saw they could get my name or initials stamped on it too. They told her to figure out which one I wanted and let them know. Its gotta be the Newport 2 from what I have been ableto put my hands on.

I owe my wife! It should go real well with the new irons she wants to get me...I must be livin' right right now.

You'll love the Newport 2.

Still not convinced getting married is worth it. :P Congrats man, which irons you getting?

Im in love with the AP2's. I have hit them twice and they fit the eye good and I feel confident with them in my hand. They are played by a pro I know and another buddy who is a 2 handicap. Also I figure it is a pretty good endorsement when the pro I take lessons from, who is repped by Cobra, told me to look at them over any club she knew of right now.

Wow! The wife endorses new AP2's and a new Scotty. Hold on tight and keep this woman. The force is strong with her. An action this nice should be rewarded with something that involves diamonds.

3 Wood:Launcher 13*(V2)
Irons:AP2 (Project X 5.5) (3-W)

Considering her diamond earings she got in Novemeber(daughter born) cost more than my first car...wait...AND second car she should be happy. Not to mention I handed her $675 worth of Nordstroms gift cards on Friday...long story, but they didnt cost me a dime. I have managed to find my way into her good graces.

In all honesty I have no business with a $300 putter but my parents said they want to get me something that means something and that I will have forever...seems to fit the bill just fine.

Those AP2s do look very nice. I guess a pro repped by Cobra is just about the same as being repped by Titleist. Owned by the same parent organization anyway. Anyway, awesome gift and sweet irons. I just ordered some new Srixon irons for myself yesterday, waiting is tough. Should definitely hold on to that wife you have. All I got as a gift recently was three new Vokeys since I paid for the new irons.

Congrats again and enjoy the new putter when you get it!

My wife was the one who got me into golf.

She got me my first driver (Taylormade r7 425) as my birthday gift when we were dating.
After marriage she got me my current putter, irons and the new Ping G10 series... I just bought balls, golf bag and wedges for myself in my current set up... I think it's because she is a golfer as well...

But of course in return I got her a Taylormade fairwaywood, iron set and Odyssey putter... So I guess we are even... hehehe.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.

      Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.
