Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

[chop]

I just bought 12 golf gloves (Kirkland/best gloves for the price) $75 for a dozen on ebay.

And two dozen Titleist Prov1X Left Dash golf balls from PGA Superstore online.

Doesn't that club help with timing too?

Allegedly.  I already had the original, full-size OW. Back when I had my old swing I found I actually played worse, after swinging with it, rather than better, so I stopped using it.  (I know why that is, now.)

They are a lot of fun to swing, though :)

Anything heavier than your heaviest club will help your swing speed. 

There's more science to it now.  There's slow-response and fast-twitch muscles involved.

Anyhoo... My abysmally low swing speed probably has more to do with my swing not being quite right, yet, than anything else.  A couple things I'm doing poorly are stalling my hips.  So I'll get that straightened-out before I engage in any swing speed training.

A lesson.

That's not true.

Not sure this fits the definition of golf thing, but here goes.

Last week I had travelled home and not bothered to take my golf clubs.  There is a set at my parents home but in the evening I got a call from a friend while staying at my in-laws place.  He does have a spare set of clubs, though without a driver and putter.  Fortunately he also had a glove in the bag so didn't need to stress about that.  We shared the driver and putter.  However, I was without golf clothes/shoes.  As luck would have it, I was wearing sneakers and a collared shirt so those were used the following day.  However I didn't have any pants or shorts having taken one pair of jeans only, so I went to the small village which luckily had one clothes shop and picked up a pair of pants.

Bought a couple dozen Maxfli Tours. Had a reward from Dicks and really didn't need anything else. I do like the balls. Not as much as the AVX but there not bad.

Back in July I purchased The Stack System for speed training, but I guess there was no stock right at the time, so I'm supposed to receive it in October. I was able to make some decent speed gains with Superspeed system throughout 2020 and 2021, but I stopped this year to work on swing mechanics. I've definitely lost some speed this year (use it or lose it?), so I am going to start back up as soon as it arrives.

I just traded in(cleaning out closet) of a bunch of clubs not being used. Ended up getting a new Vokey Sm9 and 2 dozen pro vs as the swap at local shop. Good deal for items collecting dust.

I bought a pair of OG Feel True LinksWear shoes in "Reflect Camo Navy". 

I've worn them for two rounds so far and they are my new favorite golf shoes. 

I always love the True LinksWear OG's. That zero drop speaks to me.

I bought a pair of True Lux Sport.   I've not had the opportunity to wear them on the course but around the house, they are very comfortable.

I assume. Like me, you took advantage of the recent deals. 👍

I'm just repeating something Sam Snead said. I figure he knows a lot about golf. He said this when talking about swinging a shovel to get stronger. You might be able to find it this on Youtube. It was from a tip I saw on TV many years ago.

Science has come a long way since the 1940s.

Picked a very used Sun Mountain Sunday bag at the local Hospice store.  Had a 3i and 9i (a.220 model), TopFlite KroFlite Sand Wedge (well played) and a Stan Thompson wood head mallet putter (missing brass sole plate, will retrofit a piece of replacement brass). Got the bag and clubs for $15.  The bag had been sitting since last winter.  The putter was what intrigued me most…

The putter I had was a 2nd hand Taylormade Rosa I chose mainly because of the price and because it looked really nice. It went well for the last couple of years as I was new to golf but last week I decided for the first time to treat myself with a nice golf club so I am now the happy owner of a Scotty Cameron Newport 2.5 !

All my other clubs are entry level clubs and ti be honest they are not the main cause of my missed shots so I decided to replace them with better clubs step by step. It will give me time to make the right choice (I'm thinking about a fitting too) and as I will not have to replace everything all at once it will also raise the budget. In my opinion the putter was the first on the list as it is the club  use the most and as I don't think it will become obsolete quickly if not at all.

Next steps will be my driver (I'm using a 10 year old driver from Inesis).

Just ordered myself four golf gloves.  They were in different sizes from 22 to 25 and I wasn't sure which one would fit me correctly.  They were at a discounted price and I figured can give them to family/friends or sell them on if they don't fit me

A ticket to Erie, which was unexplainably canceled. Damn shame.
