I just bought, as an early Christmas gift, a Callaway Rogue ST Max driver.  Arrives Thursday... fearful of taking it to the outdoor range, temps in the high 20's.  Don't want to crack the face... something I've done on 3 occasions, same range.  So it might be a trek to the local indoor simulator.

Well… technically I didn't buy these, either.

Rain gear is important. If you play in the rain, that is. 😄

I just got a new wedge this week.

It's a 50 degree gap wedge. PXG 0311 3X Forged.

I guess I should mention I got new irons. Maybe about a 6 weeks ago.

I guess it counts as something I've bought but I've just joined a new golf club for 2023

My current course has been mostly shut for the last 3 months as it gets too wet in the winter! I'd been thinking of moving for a while and finally bit the bullet! Nicer course, better practice facilities and a lot of better players to compete against.

-1 Box of Stinger Cleats

-1 Champ Cleat Wrench

How about you?

Nice!

Just curious, do you have a 56* wedge too, or go from 52* to 58*.  Curious, because I carry the same loft wedges (Vokeys in my case)

A couple of hickories:  A great looking niblick and a deep-grooved mashie-niblick.  The bidding was fierce but I won. Probably paid too much, but they'll be fun and interesting.

Good job!  5 years from now it won't matter what you paid for them.  What's a niblick?  (just kidding)

Just purchased a dozen TaylorMade V3 Soft golf balls.  $30 a dozen, but then golf equipment is a lot more expensive in India.  Decided to try the ball and see whether it is worth playing a relatively affordable 3 piece ball.  The next time will try the Inesis Tour 900 which costs the same and pick one of them as my gamer for tournaments

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Soft 500 golf ball

I have been playing with only 12 clubs in the bag for a while.  I have a large gap between driver and 4H that I need to fill. I just bought a used Callaway Epic Speed 4W from CPO and a used Callaway GBB Heavenwood from eBay. Probably should have gone ahead and bought a 5W while CPO had their 40% off sale going on.  We will see how it all works out.

Bought a watercolor of Jack putting in a tournament with Arnie and his Army looking on.  It commemorates a big win of Jack's over Arnie around 1959.  I don't recall all the details. But I wanted some art and these two were magnificent players and men.

    • Day 1 (21 Jan 25) - Managed some swings in the backyard with 6&7 irons before the snow was to come in.  Usual drills - pre-shot setup, stance, ball positioning… (Starting over - yesterday’s post did not load, and I have had another missed post in the last month…) 
    • Okay, @billchao, @StuM, @dennyjones, @boogielicious, @Carl3, @DaveP043, @bkuehn1952, You are tagged, because I'm certain I've played with you all before.  @saevel25 and @Chris Brooks Have already told me that they are interested but can't do it this year.  @Slice of Life, @Bonvivant, @RFKFREAK and @Divot Master I'm sure I've played with you all as well. So, tag.    I know I'm missing a bunch of you who've I've met. So, again, feel free to message me.   
    • Put myself on GEARS today to check my backswing stuff. Left wrist cupped, right arm not bending too much. That kind of thing. I can take about 5% off, and I squared up my right foot again…
