Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

[ripsid]

Been looking for a couple things.. the oversized Winn AVS putter grip (the BIG one), didn't find one (sold out) but they had a putter there with one so I got to try it and I liked it, then looked at the used hybrids where I found the one I've been looking for for $34. A nike cpr 18* was knocking it about 235 on the LM :) and able to adjust the distance from 205 to 238 so I'm happy. So I bought the Nike hybrid ... yippee!

Next buy, grips ... putter and for my irons...

I had some clubs regripped.

Tested out some MP-32s and just contemplating before taking the plunge.... so hard to deny a set of beautiful forged irons!

I love mine and you will not be dissappointed. They are beautiful and feel absolutely amazing when you hit them. Mine have Project X in them and I like that.

Bought a used TM R5 Dual and Adams A3 boxer hybrid. Took the R5 back yesterday, now looking for a new driver. Also just received my Cleveland CG11 black pearl 48* wedge I ordered from Edwin watts. Oh yeah and I went with the gf and she picked up a set of Cleveland TA6 irons so she can learn and start playing with me.

A new towel and hat.

And a Callaway Warbird XXT bag
Edit. And i bought a grip for my old 8 iron. Setting up a bag for a friend.
All the clubs should be re-griped, in time.

[CosmosMpower]

Also heading out to buy a 5 hybrid tonight. Need some suggestions.

[JYB]

my suggestion is to make sure that club you're going to buy is properly set up for you before you purchase anything (length, shaft type, lie angle, etc.)

I was in Myrtle Beach for the last five days I ended up buying, a Wilson Staff Pi5 2 iron, Wilson Staff Pro Soft glove. black Zero friction tees, and a Puma painters hat, those hats Camillo, and Ryan Moore where.

Thanks to uncle sam and a stimulus check, my last trip to the golf store landed me a

Used set of Callaway x-tours 3-PW

A dozen Callaway Tour xi's

A putter fitting for my Ping B60.

I picked up a Club Caddy (had to after seeing it on Fore Inventors Only and realizing how much it made sense) and a dozen Callaway HX Hot Bite balls.

Love the balls, and getting some use out of the Club Caddy.

I was in Memphis, recently, for a lunch meeting. I got there early and because I was near the Edwin Watts store, I decided to stop in and look for a wide brimmed hat to wear on course ( I had decided to get one of those goobery looking hats in order to protect my extraordinary visage from the ravages of the sun ).

I walked in and, as usual, was barely greeted by a disinterested employee. Now, I walked into that store with money in my pocket, ready to spend it on a specific item. The poor attitude of the employees in that store just turned me off. While they weren't rude, they just seemed disinterested; they just didn't seem to care whether or not I was there or whether or not they were there.

Eventhough I found one hat that I might, under other circumstances, have bought, I decided to save my money and spend it somewhere else where it mattered to those with whom I spent it.

This situation has happened almost every time I visit the Edwin Watts in Memphis. Every time I go there, I swear it will be my last and, like some lemming, I am always lured back there because of proximity and the quantity of golf equipment. But every time I step through their door, I am greeted with the same indifference and lack of interest.

So, what did I buy on my last trip to a golf store: nothing!

Given the state of our economy, this lack of regard for a customer borders on the insane. If I were Edwin Watts, I would reconsider either the qualifications for salespeople or reconsider the training program, if any, in which they require employees to participate.

Anybody else have similar experiences?

[bogeyhitter25]

Well it wasn't a "trip", but I bought my TaylorMade rac Black Sand Wedge, and my Nike Slingshot 23* Hybrid.

Last week I bought an Ohio State blade head cover for my putter, some zero-friction tees, golf towel, and a Titleist visor. Now if they only sold a golf game...
