Well my last purchase's were a Callaway 48* Forged Wedge, 54* Bridgestone, 58* Bridgestone, 6 dozen Nike golf balls, a large bag of tees, a club cleaner set, and a new club brush. Need to take the wedges back to get new grips and lengthened. It was a good trip minus running out of time before I could have the work done on my clubs.

Yesterday I bought a like-new demo X-22 6 iron for $3.50.  I'm going to use it as a test mule before I reshaft my set.

Tees. I needed to earn my free scorecard points at Dicks, so I built up my tee stockpile even more. :-P 2 and 3/4" length tees seem to be the best for me, I get the benefit of getting 100/pack and tees that are basically the perfect length. Previous time I got 2 dozen Taylormade Burnder Tour LDP for $30. A nice discount considering they're usually $26/doz.

A dozen Gamer V2 balls from Dick's, had to buy something to use a free-points coupon, and golf balls are a good, cheap item to use for that.  Never tried these, but they seem to be getting good buzz on here, so we'll see.  Almost went with my usual Bridgestones because the e5/e6/e7 family were on sale for $22 (normally $26 or $27 last time I was in) but wanted to try something new.

[/quote] Funny, because I took that chance to do the opposite a month or so ago: switch from the V2 to the e5 (temporarily). :-)

I don't know what I'm going to do with it.  I'm pretty loyal to my Scotty.  I guess it's nice to have a spare toy in the house.

Purchased the Garmin Approach S1 GPS watch.  Used it out on the course on Friday.  Yardage was extremely accurate.   I liked having the GPS in a watch.  It was very easy to use and even though I hadn't worn watch in the past, I didn't even notice I was wearing the S1.  I liked the simplicity of this GPS.

Bought a SQ machspeed 3-hybrid;  nice to finally have a new hybrid instead of a hand-me-down used one.  Whether I get a matching 4 remains to be seen, but my 3 is quite old and quite used.

I also ordered a new gap wedge (VR Pro).  Instead of buying off the shelf, as I've done for my current ones, I ordered it with the shaft I have in my irons (KBS Tour), although without soft-stepping it (can you even do that for wedge shafts?).  It's also half an inch under, just like my irons.  I've been saying for a while I'll try having wedges that are similar to my irons, and now it's worth a try.

    • Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been. 
    • You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.
    • Day 22 (12 July 26) - worked on putting tempo today using metronome for accurate tempo. 
    • Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!
    • I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
