Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?


Recommended Posts

Just bought a set of irons 4-sw (8).

After hunting for the month for second hand clubs found they were coming in a bit high for the budget I set (or dead clubs), typically mixed bag at £50+delivery, so instead I picked up the cobra fly xl set new instead for £250. Cant argue at £31 a club inc deliver.

Seen plenty of reviews on them that say the irons were solid for a newbie but avoid driver/putter so hopefully these will do me whilst i learn the game. The only tip was I may need an additional wedge with more loft but will see how i get on before dropping more money. Next month is my off-season course fee's and i dont want to incur wrath of the wife.

The last thing I bought was a Ping stand bag


The award-winning PING Hoofer golf bag is lightweight, yet extremely durable and spacious 11 pockets. Available in seven different colors at PING.com

. It took a lot for me to part with my trusty golf bag but after the club compartments broke, I had to bite the bullet. Don't really know why it took me so long!

Traded in some Lost and found wedges and picked up a TM MG3 TW grind 56 degree wedge to go with my 60.  MG3’s we’re just marked down with the arrival of the MG4

Now all you need is a 3,4,5,6,8,9,PW,SW training aid and you will have a complete set.😀

I just picked up a new push cart. I have a Clicgear 4.0 already, which is great, but my bag sits a bit funny on it. My wife was in need of a push cart, so I gave her my Clicgear and I got a Sun Mountain PX4. Pushcart vs. pushcart, I think the Clicgear is probably a little better, but my bag fits perfect on the new one.

All that said, I've been in a bit of a buying phase lately, so each day the answer could have been something different. In the last month I've also picked up a new bag, some hybrids, grips, rangefinder, shoes...

I may have a problem...

3 boxes of Snell's with the free towel and a Snell Golf Branded Bills hat, in white of course. Got 20% off on the hat. 

@snapfade you’ve mentioned Snell balls a few times.  Without getting flamed here what’s the interest in Snell balls?

I’ve got a bit of FOMO on this one. 😀

Snell simply makes a really nice premium ball at a not so premium price. I've played their MTB and MTB Black balls and really liked them. I ran out recently and tried their new line, the MTB Prime. Based on what I read, I went with the "X" version this time and wasn't as impressed, although it was still good. For whatever reason the current MTB Prime X doesn't seem to be as durable as what I've used from them in the past.

Anyways, they're a great value at $30ish a dozen, although I think there are some equally as good values with the Maxfli Tour or Vice Pro/Pro Plus, although you have to buy 4 or 5 dozen to get the price to the $30ish per dozen range that Snell is for just one dozen.

I found out about them on here and tried them. The Prime, X, Get Sum. I use the X now. They aren't magic balls, they wont take 10 strokes off your game or add 50 yards to your dive, just a good tour quality ball at a good price. Small company, no tour deals. A bit of a cool factor knowing you're probably the only one on the course in the know. Dean Snell was the inventor of the Pro V1 and then went on to work for Taylor Made. I haven't had any durability issues with the Prime X, but I retire a ball after one round, of course if it doesn't wind up in the water or something.  For me, the Prime X plays the same as the Pro V1 but for 30 bucks. There is a deal now over on the site. I would get the sample pack of the Prime and Prime X, and give them a test run. The Get Sum is a two-piece soft compression ball. Plays like any other softie except, the Duo Soft, which as the lowest compression in the industry. I guess bottom line is it's one small thing you can do to not run to the big companies. On a technical note, the Prime X seems to not exaggerate side spin as much as the Prime does. I feel like I have more control over my irons with the Prime X. Could be just me. YMMV

Thanks! I’ll keep them in mind. Luckily, I’m still at a point where folks are giving me boxes of V1s as gifts. 😎 But I may try the sample pack out of curiosity or maybe become “the cool kid” at the course.

If people are giving you Pro V's as a gift, I can only wonder what you are doing for them. Hmmmmm, Let me guess, they drop the balls off at the Green Mill?

Well played. Actually, I have a few sources as it pays to diversify. It’s fair to say I have contacts in the right places, and I have a number of friends that are grateful for what I’ve done for them along the way.  😉

Dean Snell developed the ProV1 for Titleist and the TaylorMade Penta. He’s been in the business a long time and wanted to develop a direct to consumer ball with the same performance as the premium balls he created before.

    • Okay, so in a golf shop and to my surprise I see a Cleveland Smart Sole Chipper in the used bin. Its the same chipper Mark Crossfield went ga ga over a few years back. It's in the used bin, but it still has the plastic on the grip and still has the plastic on the head. 39 bucks. ... So, for roughly the price my sister pays for coffee I can get the chipper Mark Crossfield says everyone should stick in their bag.  So, thirty seven dollars and sixty three cents later that bad boy is all mine. (BTW - I asked the guy what the best he could do on it and he said 35 bucks. ... Always ask what's the best they can do on clubs out of the used bin. They will nearly always take a couple dollars off for you.)  Anyway, I brought it home and tested it first in the basement. I skulled my first shot... and my second... Hmm.... I must be doing something wrong. I got back and watch the Mark Crossfield video.  I take the thing to the course. ... I'm excited to try it out. ... I skull far more than my fair share. I thought you weren't supposed to be able to miss hit this thing.  Apparently, I suck at chippers, Which is weird, because I'm a descent chipper with "normal" clubs. Anyone who's played with me will tell you I can be wildly inconsistent off the tee. I can tug a wedge shot with the best of them. I can miss 4 foot straight uphill putts. I can top a 3-wood. But my chipping is generally pretty solid. Shotscope tells me I'm better than a 5 HCP chipping.  WTH - I thought these were supposed to be easier to use???  I have a buddy who actually does suck at chipping. I'm going to have him try it and see what happens.
