They have a pretty good deal right now at Golf Galaxy on the MacGregor MacTec NVG2 driver. It's going for $99.97

I know you said less than $60, but I just thought I'd mention this one since I saw it on there the other day. I believe it's a few years old, but I've heard good things about it and I'm sure it'd be an adequate backup. Here's the link if you're interested: http://www.golfgalaxy.com/galaxy/pro...KDEAFK0VNK1LN5

I recently bought a Titleist 975J off of Ebay and it cost me less than $50. Granted, it has some scuffing on the sole, but it beats the heck out of the Knight driver I used to have.
As long as you dont mind a driver that has some slight imperfections, Ebay is a great place to get a deal. Just make sure the seller is a reputable one.

Yeah, I get 90% of my stuff from ebay. I'll look into the 975J.

All of my set is from Ebay too. Its a great place to get a killer deal, you just gotta watch who you do business with.
Ive always had good luck with Ebay (knock on wood), but Ive heard a lot of horror stories about Ebay.

My back up driver is a Callaway C4. Not the longest but it is straight as an arrow. I think you can get one for $60 on callaways used site.
Great driver if you can get past the fact that it makes no noise when you hit it!

Tommy Armour Ayrtime is $50 from Sports Authority. Was on the Hot List a couple of years ago. I have hit mine side by side with a Burner and a Hi Bore and I am not giving up a thing. I actually have two, so that I can mess around with the shaft on one and not have to screw up my gamer.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
