anyone get any new clubs for the 2008 season

[Leek]

Too darn many:

Srixon i-701 irons
Geek Dot Com This! driver
Scratch 54 and 60 deg wedges
Srixon AD hybrid

If I could just find a putter I want.....

I bought my putter. May not seem like a lot but I am really proud of it. All my friends are rich, thier parents buy them everything.

if they are so snobby then why are you friends with them?

Everything in my signature except the 3-wood, 5-wood, and CG12 is new this year.

Titleist 907D1 - a reward for myself at the end of the season last year for consistently starting to shoot 12-14 over par - now thinking about trading it in for the D2, I actually liked the D2 better but on a friend's recommendation (he's more into the technical side than I am) bought the D1 for like 150 dollars less than the D2. Now regretting it...

MP-67s - because I went ga-ga at the shop when I hit them with the Project X 6.0 rifle shafts

MPT 51 and 58 degree wedges - had the cleveland rtg 56, 60 and an old 52 degree gap wedge, because I am vain and wanted my wedges to match (I actually also gauged distances and the 51 and 58 made total sense and felt great when I was hitting them)

TM agsi daytona 1 - I change putters like all the time but I decided to choose based on feel, look and stroke. I even got help while I closed my eyes to test putters without looking at name brands (I woulda been inclined to try to buy the scotty cameron - I know, sad!) and I just loved this thing.

New Ogio SSchling Bag. Awesome. I actually walked more than 4 rounds already.

Walter Hagen shoes - oddly enough I didn't like the expensive name brand shoes, these felt awesome right out of the box - $50.

My only excuse for buying all this stuff now? I am a gear head and actually didn't play much golf since 2001 - before law school. Now I make time to play and am really trying to get down to a 9 or so in two years.

My best buy has to be gym membership - golf workouts 2x a week, regular workout 2 other times... let's see what happens!

My 2008 season began over three months ago, but I'm buying new irons soon enough. Not because it's 2008, but because I'd rather have irons more fitting my ability.

[wolverine318]

I got my new Nike SV Black Satin wedges and MacGregor MT Pro-M irons. I was all set on some S58s then I saw the MACs and couldnt pass them up.

[ERC7.5]

I picked up a Callaway ERC Fusion for $75 (used) and a Solus 53° wedge.

[cubfanbob]

Replaced the original Hogan CFT hybrids with the CFT ti versions, added the Bobby Grace M6.4K-GT putter to the bag to see if it could knock out my venerable Anser 2 stainless, and am going to take lessons for the first time.

[nykfan4life]

if they are so snobby then why are you friends with them?

they aren't really snobby; just over-privelaged. I still like them as people, and I don't blame them for thier parents decisions. I'm not sure there is a 16 year old alive who wouldn't take free stuff from thier parents.

Too darn many:

you bought scratch golf wedges those are like 300$ a piece

[nykfan4life]

you bought scratch golf wedges those are like 300$ a piece

yikes. There is no way that is worth the price. I once bought 6 588s for that money(not for me)

[golf_junkie27]

I purchased four hybrids, all Cobra Baffler Pros, #1-4. I did not need the 4 but it came with an Accra Hybrid Shaft. It costs me $28, A STEAL. If I end up hating it, it was a $28 mistake and not $270.

I also purchased a backup set of irons: Wood Bros. Really nice blades with Apollo Stepless Shafts.

[Eore]

i got my 3-wood and 56* wedge. i am looking at getting a new gap wedge, 18* hybrid, and putter if i can find money in every drain a pass on the street. i buy all of my new clubs. i know a guy who said he was great at golf, but every time he had a "bad" round his daddy bought him a new driver, or iron set. he was bragging about his swing and new callaway driver today, and i played with him for our first 9 hole tryouts today. i shot a 42 (amazing for me).


he shot 77. the whole time cursing his irons (its not THEIR fault when you whiff)
i bet there are new ones next week

[kiwigold]

I purchased the Nickent 4DX driver and 2 Nickent 3 DX hybrids (17/23). Very happy.

[Brooklyn]

The only club still in my bag from last year is my 60* wedge... Other than that... everything is new. oh well my 22 hybrid... but its not really mine... i just pretend it is.

[mrobbie]

My irons (wedding anniversary present from the wife), putter (birthday from parents), wedges and driver were all new in May/June/July last year. So nothing major so far for me yet...

Actually, got new golf shoes and a dozen NXT Tours after investing a number of balls in various lakes around the courses in Dubai.

This years wedding anniversary is looking to be a new driver, 3 wood and hybrid to replace my 905R (artistic differences so parting ways) and Callaway Warbird 5 wood (due for retirement). Plenty research time before July though...

I just ordered some 2007 Cobra FP's 4-SW from TGW... they should arrive tomorrow. They are the first real set of irons that I have purchased. The last few years I was using a hand me down set of Golden Bear GB-72's. I played a lot last year and really improved my game, and don't think I can get any better with those clubs. So, I hit almost every club out there last year from the major companies and had it down to the X-20's and the FP's. After hitting them back to back I couldn't tell much difference, so I went with the one that wouldn't lighten my wallet as much.

[mattmatt300]

everything I have is new except for the bag and putter. got a new job and decided to fill my bag with Titleist and start taking lessons so maybe I can up my game a bit this year.
