Box of e6 balls for me and a box of Wilson balls for my son.

Had his 4 iron fixed again, he keeps knocking the head loose.

Also got his clubs all re-gripped.

My employer treated me to a new set of irons for my year end bonus. Technically, I did not buy them, but I did hand over the money.

Na, I opted for all irons. This replaces my old eye2 clones, and I didn't want to stray too far from what I was used to.

Well enjoy them sir. Yes I was almost drooling as I peered longingly at a set in Golfsmith. I've read great reviews and the aesthetic is unmatched, sleek and luxurious. Hopefully the warmer weather that is supposed to usher in this weekend in Atlanta will allow you to get out (at least to the range) and swing away.

I picked up the Adams Super DHy 21 and 24 degree long-iron-hybridy things.  They more resemble super GI irons than hybrids but wow do they hit a nice ball.

I've been banging away on the simulator with them all week and I'm seriously considering going back and getting the 18 degree.

Very nice, I have had mine since they came out and enjoy the heck out of them. I am sure you will to!

Fantastic irons, got some myself. Anyway today I got a Scotty Cameron studio select Newport 2. Not a big fan of the headcover but I'm looking online at replacing it with something else. Bought the putter used from a good friend - next on the list is to get it engraved and a brand new pistollino grip.

Whatever you do, hang on to that cover. They fetch good $$$$ on ebay. That's a sweet putter, and not having one, nor can I afford one...I hate you.. :-D

Nike covert x stiff driver along with a pre order for a vokey sm5 60.07 s grind and three dozen lethals. This will be my first season where I will not purchase any clubs!

I wasn't at a golf store, per se, but I bought 5 golf shirts, 4 golf pants, a golf vest, short sleeve rain jacket and a light-weight golf pullover at the Peter Millar outlet store for 90% off retail.  Retail price was almost $1,700.  Best sale I think I've ever found.  Plus I bought some clothes for work as well, so by the time I was done, I spent $360 dollars on retail price of $3,600.

Which goes to show how much markup is on clothing.

    • Knocked off #8 (a tough one to get) today with a mini driver, a chipped 9I, and about a 25-footer in the eight holes I played tonight.
    • You're right.  Side note, and funny story, the only time I can remember hitting a shot O.B. on that hole for the second shot, it was a topped shot where I started near the O.B. marker.  I wonder if I'm not getting as good a shot as I could because I'm nervous about O.B., but I'm not hesitating to hit a 4W if I get a good lie.  
    • Day 262 5-12 Got an early practice session in this morning. Arms off body was the main focus with getting chest through with speed, I did much better with wrist arching through the downswing.   
    • Yea, developing a proper shot zone for that approach should would be helpful. If you are bringing OB into play more than you like, then it is either needs to be an accepted reward for the risk. If you hit 10 shots from that tee ball landing area. If like 1 ball goes OB, that could be outlier shots you need to discard. If more than that is creeping in, then it is probably not the correct shot.  Maybe it needs to be more nuanced. Maybe you hit more shots OB from the left side of the hole than right due to shot shape. If you hit it left to right, maybe being on the left side makes you aim further right, bringing in OB right. It could be an aiming issue. 
    • Thank you, @saevel25.  First two points, definitely, and those are things I can do.  PGA Tour average being 3.0 from 100 yards in the rough (or 160 in the fairway, per ESC) is a great reminder that a 5 is a really good score on a par-5 and the occasional six isn't anything to be upset about, as long as I played it intelligently.   I'm playing in less than a week, and I checked the three par-5s against ShotScope's 5-handicap baseline.    My last par on two of them yielded a 0.23 stroke gain (each), while the last one had -0.07 on my last par (I wonder if ShotScope measures straight-line distance, because there's some slight bending going on). Hmmm, that last one, especially with between the ropes.  I think I'll go through my past rounds later today and see where I'm losing strokes there -- I would guess it's on my second shot, since that one makes me nervous because of O.B. left and right on the second shot.  Yet, I think I can hit a hybrid from my typical tee shot landing area and have a distance wedge into the green.
