Man, I feel pretty slow...Lol. For a second, I thought you stole it...haha. I hope that doesn't happen to me although I see it coming soon. There's one store that I go to where I always have to buy a glove or a sleeve of balls when I visit because the owner is so kind...

I've never had an impulse buy like that before but have used the stalls far longer than I should have when I was too lazy to go to the range... usually only happens when it rains. I can see how that can happen though... it's like bringing home a lost puppy from the pound.

Never happened... every club purchase I have ever made I have seen comming. However, gloves, shoes, and a few other things occaisionally get taken home accidently.

I have also left home with the intention of going someplace (work, etc.) and ended up at the golf course playing golf.

Yep.. Just on Thursday evening hand intentions of walking into Dick's Sporting Goods to see what GPS's they had ..and couldn't help to notice they had the Nike 5900 for $199, with the free fairway wood deal going on..

So.. GPS was not even a second thought after I walked out with a Nike Sumo2 driver and FW wood :P

That is one of the best deals I've ever heard of. I love that driver. I demoed one at Dicks and had to pry it loose and put it back. The fairway wood is what I loved even more!!!!! That was what I went in to look at. They didn't have the exact one I was looking for....but man what a deal.

Good luck with the new sticks. As for the OP.....I have done the same with putters. I went to the store to buy balls, tees and gloves....but had some time to kill.......bad thing to do in a golf shop.....I gravitated over to the putters and saw one I couldn't live without. This was several years ago. Now I'm much more patient and try many different shaft options.

I went into my local golf store today to buy a new golf towel and ended up walking out with a new 3 wood and no towel...:P

I have to have 50 golf towels, I have never bought one and I don't know where they came from... Funny thing is that I rotate between about 4 or 5 of them, the other 45 stay on the bottom of the pile. Last week, my brother in law went to the dealer for an oil change and came home with a new car.

Like when I walked into Dicks Sporting Goods about 30 minutes ago to get a new hat (left mine at home) and saw that they were marking last years Nike One Platinum balls down to $15 a dozen and bought 10 boxes. Yeah, it happens.

    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
