i've been buying a crapload of stuff that i really dont' need! get me the hell out of the golf store!!!

Some Titleist NXT Extreme's and tees to go along.

Think my next visit will be an expensive one, where I will buy a new set of irons along with a new putter and maybe a 3 wood.

CHA----CHING!!!!!

It pays to play well!!!! Nice way to convert your good play into $$$. When I laid off golf the ProV1 was just coming out...my golf buds were starting to use them....lining them up for huge tee shots....lining them up for putts....etc. I come back to the game 3 years later and see that the ball has been a mainstay ever since. Way to go Titleist !!!!

Greetings. Today I plonked down the cash on the Adams A3OS irons, complete with fitting and grips. I'm looking at the Big Bertha 360 or the Hibore xls for a driver.

I haven't played much recently so I decided to get a real set and beat the crap out of a lot of balls this summer. We only live once, eh...?

Ohhh, last time I went was a joyous day. Just left the Byron Nelson, went to the PGA superstore b/c I needed a hat. Couldn't find a hat, so I went to Golfsmith. They were having a tent sale. HUUUGE discounts.

They already had stuff on clearance outside (about 30-40% off), but that day you took an ADDITIONAL 25% off, but if you bought 3 items...you take 50% off!

So, I got a new Titleist hat (not on sale, $21 or so), 2 Addidas Climacool shirts, and 1 Greg Norman (same kinda Climacool) shirt, and a little club head cleaner all for a total of $80! Each one of those shirts are like $60 normally!

While at my golf store (Walmart) I purchased my adams 3 wood. Also some zero friction tees and Top Filte Freak Balls.

In my bag.

I went to my local store (Edwin Watts Golf) today considering the purchase of a Burner 3 wood and a Monza Spider putter. I first tried out the putter and I wasn't hitting it any better then I normally hit my old ping blade putter, so I decided to not buy it. I then went to the simulator and hit a demo Burner 3 wood. I stepped up to the ball and without and practice swings or anything blasted it down the center with distance about what I get from demo drivers there. I thought it might have been just a lucky swing, but I then kept repeating the performance. I did hit a couple of shots not flush, but there was very little (10-15 yards) of distance lost. I couldn't buy the club fast enough. I'm going to play later today and I am pumped to see this club in action on the course!

The last thing I bought was a Wilson brass blade putter (like the one Corey Pavin is using this week). I was sinking everything on the practice green with it and it was only like $25, so I said what the hell and got it. Haven't put in my bag yet though.

One of our main golf shops is in the process of closing down. Yesterday I found myself walking out with a sack full of golf gloves and shoe trees for my golf shoes. (Shoe trees for golf shoes are one of the greatest investments but one of the most overlooked by golfers to help prolong the life of their golf shoes.)

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle. 
    • April 2025 - Pinehurst, playing Mid Pines and Southern Pines + 3 other courses. Probably Talamore, Mid-South, and one other.  July 2025 - Bandon Dunes, just me and my dad.
