Oh Boy!

I finally got my three Titleist Vokey Spin-Milled wedges! I chose the gun metal color, and bought a 52 with 8 bounce, 56 with 14 bounce, and 60 with 4 bounce. Can't wait to try them out on some RANGE balls! :) The metal feels so soft and buttery...wow, its amazing what $109 will buy you. I'm shocked that these feel so soft yet supposedly rip up a golf ball. Anyway, I didn't pay $109 for these, I paid about 70 for each wedge including tax. Yes, I said $70 each since I bought some gift cards from someone for .60 on the dollar. I actually had $500 worth of credit that I paid $300 for, so I still have roughly $150 for other stuff.

You'll have that handicap down in no time. With change in your pocket.

Sweet....love the lofts and bounce angles you selected.

That 60-4 is gonna be a fun club and open up some interesting possibilities.

[Danny Noonan]

Thanks, guys. As much as I'd like to think that these clubs will help lower my handicap, I'm confident it won't be much as a result of the equipment alone. I've got to continue to play once a week and get to the range as I have been. I've never worked so hard on my game, ever. Being 38 years old, I want to get my game down as best I can so that when I retire, I'm not picking the game up then. Plus, I have more fun golfing than doing just about anything else. And because of all that, I'm rewarding myself with good gear/clothes.

See ya on the links.

I'm right there with ya....40 and retirement is no longer something I never consider.....it's out there on the distant horizon (made further away by economy

). The right sticks sure can help. You've got some nice scoring clubs. I dropped other hobbies, like hunting. Cool thing about golf is the clothes you game are great for casual wear, too. Camo from hunting is simply for that alone......and some of the camo is selling for crazy high $$$.

Well, I practice law for someone else's firm and I hate it. I hate marching off to work each day and for someone else, not myself. Therefore, I'm busting my ass on three great business ideas that will all be almost passive once I get them going, with a few more great ideas as backups...if I can replace my income with any of these, I quit practicing law and spend the majority of my time on the other businesses and playing golf when other people are working, such as Tuesday and Wednesday mid-morning rounds. I used to own my own business back in my 20s and I played golf or jet skiied several times a week. I got caught up in needing more money and went to law school and to work for someone else. BIG mistake. I want the old life back :) so that's my plan.

Enjoy the wedges, they're grrrrrrrrreaat!

If you want to get your handicap down you should spend the majority of your practice time trying to get up & down from various angles/lies/distances.

From Dr. Bob Rotella's Golf is a Game of Confidence (chapter 7):
"A player that shoots in the 90s generally hits no more than one or two greens in regulation. That means that on sixteen or seventeen holes he or she is going to face a chip or pitch to the green.
Most high hadicappers, by definition, rarely gt up and down; sometimes they take four strokes, because they leave a shot in the bunker or stub a chip. If they learned to get up and down even a third of the time, they would play in the 80s atleast part of the time."

What about Boo Weekly he can go from hunting to golf and vise versa maybe even hunt while golfing LOL.

Well, you have a point. I never noticed camoflaged Cleveland wedges and other camoflaged stuff until Boo came around.

[GDWindowpane]

And Boo is coming out with his own golf clothing line. Camo golf shirts with blaze orange accents and vice versa. I think there will also be some black shirts with camo/blaze orange accents. And some limited edition hats. My son is a big Boo fan...

[Danny Noonan]

Perhaps a Boo Weekley signature dip cup and shotgun rack for the carts.

Vokey Wedges.

Gotta Love 'em.

You got all the wrong lofts though...

How about an explanation of what I should have bought, and why, and also why I got the wrong lofts.

Or is my sarcasm detector needing batteries?

[ACE]

Best wedges period.

"I'll take jokes I missed for $100 Alex" Check my signature for proper wedge loft confirmation.

[Danny Noonan]

I still have not hit 'em yet. Everytime I try to get to the range, something foils my plans. I think I may get over there later this afternoon once it begins to cool off.

Are you claiming to be able to feel the hardness of steel with your bare hands?

Good grief.
