Just bid off my third pair of second-hand golf shoes.

Am hitting into the net that came Saturday.

Have spent many hundreds (I don't want to know) over the last few weeks on grips (tape/solvent), gloves, tees, balls, lead tape, a couple woods, a set of vintage irons, headcovers, other shoes, groove cleaner, a swingweight scale... have an umbrella in a cart somewhere that I'll be getting soon when I find it. I'm re-stocking from long time away from the game.

Just found this thread. Going back out to hit the big stick into the net.  The 4 wood is working great, so I may as well push it, find my point of failure!

But I still need a bigger hitting mat, maybe another bag. I can't stop looking at vintage irons, oh and a rangefinder, perhaps a GPS device and a launch monitor maybe. Thankfully I'm not too proud to buy second-hand gear to save buck here and there.

This ain't no Party, this ain't no Disco...

I'm in the habit of telling people not to spend money on new clubs, that Top Flites work just fine for the vast majority of players, and that golf "technology" is a bunch of hooey. 

I just bought a Callaway ST Max driver (9.0) and made sure my kids each bought me a dozen ProV1's for my birthday. 

I wish I was kidding.

There's nothing wrong with that. 👍

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Honestly, I can't remember what the last thing I bought was, but I know what the next thing will be. After hitting a bucket of balls for the first time in something like 2 years, I need a glove!

With all the recent sales going on, I finally pulled the trigger on a new driver.  Mizuno STZ 220 for $299.  Had hit it in the Spring and liked it, but the difference in stats wasn’t worth the $450 at the time.  But $300?  Yes, please!
 

Also have some new SM9 wedges on the way, that I purchased with some of my mens club purse.

I put another $100 on my range card for the local facility, using it much more now that I have a job about 7 minutes away and I can go there for lunch

Orange Whip Lightspeed. Going to see if training with it really can help improve my abysmal swing speed :-)

In preparation for buying the Stack, I purchased the PRGR swing speed monitor. Didn’t have batteries handy, but will buy some today and give it a try!  Really looking forward to using it!

Doesn't that club help with timing too? Anything heavier than your heaviest club will help your swing speed. Some of the old timers swung a shovel back in the day. During the winter I swing a weighted club. It most definitely helps so right on.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
