Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?


Recommended Posts

On my last trip to the golf store, I bought a $96 used left-handed Callaway Big Bertha driver for my left handed friend who persists in using a persimmon headed driver.  So I and another friend did an intervention and presented him with this new driver.   He's got up to 90 days to decide if he wants to keep it and pay us back for it.   It's returnable for full refund.

Bought a GEL Diamond putter, 34". Was looking for a cheap, shorther, lighter putter than my current YES! Stephanie to try. Tried the likes of Hotblade, Progen, Nike and cleveland (the last 2 in the sale at £50) but non felt as good. managed to get it for £15 in the Direct Golf sale.

just shows, its not the price that counts when it comes to putters

Shotsaver SLR500 laser rangefinder on offer at only 70 quid (UK). Only tried it on the range, but seems brilliant for the money.

Sadly, my local golf store closed a few months back. That leaves me with Dick's, Sports Authority, and pawn shops for golf shopping. That, or I have to make a 90-minute trip to St. Louis, or I have to stick to online shopping. I just bought a Game Golf off Amazon Warehouse Deals a bit ago, it should be here Wednesday, so hoping for the best there.

I have some extra money and might shop for a new bag (mine's a few months shy of 13 years old and has a bad stand leg and a lot of rust on the hinges), but I've been irrationally picky about that for a while. Oh, and I'm watching that 3-pack of Snake Eyes wedges on Golf Smith. It's $100, but it's gotten as low as $50 in the past, I think. I need to add some wedges to my bag, so those are something I'm watching closely for a sale price now.

Getting geared up for the 2016 golf season. Finally replaced my old Ping G2 driver with the purchase of a new Cobra Flyz adjustable 10.5 degree loft driver I purchased on ebay. I am trusting that the newer technology built into this new driver will help me improve my drives. I also bought a new golf towel and a bag of tees. May not be done shopping yet, wife says she wants to buy me a new set of irons or combination of irons and hybrids to replace what I currently have.

Nothing yet. Some how I'm going to need to manage new shoes before too long. Also hoping to earn some extra cash in busy season to replace the 3W. Distance off the deck is a rather big problem for me and I'm currently using a borrowed 3W anyway, so it needs out of my bag.

No, she doesn't want ME TO BUY new irons, SHE WANTS TO BUY ME new irons. She is probably thinking, hey if I buy him new irons maybe he will spend more time out golfing and give me more time to myself. There is a method to her madness.

Just put a Golf Pride MCC PLUS4 mid-size grip on my driver. Has less taper than a NDMC. I grip down quite a bit on my driver, hopefully, this will feel a little more natural with the extra circumference and less taper.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

just got a new vokey sm6 wedge, 58.12. I play 714 AP1's up to W2, so no room for a 56 and 60 so want to try a 58 to see if it is a good compromise between the two. Also picked up 3 dozen bridgestone b330rx balls on sale for 20% off

    • So, Newey is out at Red Bull. Where does he go in a year? Is Max still with RBR in 2026? Hmmmm.
    • August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!
    • Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.
    • Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least. 
    • +12 47, and never lost a ball or had a penalty. Got the snap hooks off the tee for the first 3 holes. So, playing the punch out game. Probably had like 20 putts. Bad short game day. The greens were weirdly firm but slow. I just don’t get spin out of the rough. I had a SW, with good height hit middle half of the green and end up almost off the back of the green. I know what I was doing with the full swing. Bad habits creeping in.
