So happy to be posting to this thread again for the first time in a while... went on a bit of a shopping spree yesterday. Picked up a new Callaway Diablo Edge driver (10 Stiff), three boxes of Nike One Vapor Speed balls, Addidas powerband 2.0 shoes, and a few Taylormade gloves. Broke, but happy!

Pulled the trigger on the PureSpin wedges offered by rockbottomgolf, since I reasoned that as a beginner I wouldn't really know the difference between the $59 set and the $95 Adams Tom Watson wedges. Added some stuff I'll try out to fill out the $75 for free shipping (since shipping for the clubs themselves would've been about $13), zero friction tees, a swing training device w/DVD, and a couple divot repair tools for a buck more to exceed the $75.

What's in my Tartan Precise TS-869 Bag:
Woods: Northwestern 1W, 3W, stock grip
Hybrids: 855 Graphite shaft 3H, 4H, Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize grips
Irons: 855 R flex steel shaft 5-PW, Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize grips
Wedges: PureSpin Tour Series Diamond Face 52* AW, 56* SW, 60* LW, Golf Pride...

Two trips ago: Finally bought a driver from this century, and a new Maxfli lob wedge.
Last trip: Found a used set of Nike irons that I wanted, and bought them. The 7 irons is missing, but replaced with a clone. It was $75 for the set. I also got a Select 5000 2 hybrid with a Ping shaft. I was going to buy a replacement iron for my irons, but the cheapest exact replacement is $90, so I'll deal with the clone.

Driver: Hyper X Tour 10.5* Graffalloy Prolaunch Blue Stiff Shaft
Hybrid: Acer Select 5000 16* Ping Cushin Stiff Shaft
Irons: NDS 3-PW (missing #7, replaced with clone) True Temper Uniflex SpeedStep Shaft
Wedges: Acer XK Tour 56*10 Precision Stiff Shaft, Revolution 60*10 True Temper Wedgeflex

I got a dozen Top Flite Gamer v2 and my two new hybrids re-gripped. The PGA Superstore had finally run out of Gamers, so I figured I'd try the Gamer v2s as I start looking for a new ball. There was a free sleeve of balls included, so $20 for 15 balls was still a pretty good deal.

Stopped by Dick's after work yesterday because I am looking for a new bag, but ended up buying some new softball cleats as I still can't find a bag I like.

I decided to get away from the FootJoy WeatherSof gloves and tried the Callaway Warbirds. Damn I should have made the switch sooner. The Warbirds have a nice piece of rubber on the lower palm, which sticks to my grips very nicely. The FJ glove doesn't have that and I would get slippage constantly (more bad technique I'm sure) and that part of the glove wore down extremely quick. Also, the Warbird feels more snug with the elastic band in the wrist. Also bought some adidas ClimaCool socks...and more Bridgestone Tour B330-RXs :)

To replace the Adams Speedline driver that snapped right at the hosel and wasn't worth replacing (got it for 150 bucks from golfio.com)....

I got a Taylor Made R9 460 yesterday from Golf Galaxy. Early returns are promising - we'll see. If I don't like it, they have the 30 day playability guarantee.

    • Day 36 - 2024-11-05 Went downtown for a little over three hours. 90 minutes of that was doing other stuff, but I got a little practice in. Some messing with GSPro (v3 is now out) and the settings, some chipping, some little stuff. Not a ton of full swing stuff, and what I did there was mostly backswing stuff.
    • Great point - my experience from the 2004 Oakland Hills Ryder Cup. I got 4 tickets for Friday, had some buddies go with me and we saw shots on about 4 holes. You really have to decide who you want to see, then try to jump ahead to see them somewhere on the back 9. If you got into the grandstands then you'd likely have a good view only of that green/tee box.  Sidenote: I knew a guy who was a member at Birmingham CC, and he was a marshal on the 18th hole and he was out there all day, both morning and afternoon groups. And he had 1 group play the hole in the morning and another in the afternoon. Huge corporate tents around the 18 green, along with some grandstands. And you get to see maybe 6 or 7 shots counting the approach and putts.  Learned my lesson, I have no issue in going to another Ryder Cup, especially at the prices they want for 2025. I think it was $40 for a practice round (went to one of those as well) and maybe $75 for Friday/Saturday, $100 for Sunday. And it was "limited" to 20,000 tickets/day, which is still very crowded to follow 4 pairings around the course.
    • Of course he can score in the low 70's in a really short course driving it that short. But the course rating is going to be in the 60's so is not like he can call himself a scratch player.
