Do you know how discouraging it is to go to a massive community garage sale and find stuff like older TaylorMade Burner irons w/ dynamic gold shafts for $10, a Titleist 983 driver for 20, the matching 3 and 5 woods for 15 each, a really nice sun mtn bag for 20... and have $0 to spend?

the irons needed new grips as they were literally disintegrating in my hands, but geez, what a deal!

A Work in Progress:

Bag: Physics Stand Bag (ebay dirt cheap special)
Driver: Knight GTi Tour 285 10*
3 Wood: r7 ST 15*5 Wood: "The Perfect Club" 21* rescueHybrids: None... yetIrons: Burner Super Steel 3-9Wedges: Burner Super Steel PW, AW, SWPutter: BlackJack 206Ball: NXT or ProV-1 (used)

Burner 18* 5 Wood
MX-19 4-GW SV Tour 54.12 & 58.08 White Hot 2-Ball SRT

I like to scour craigslist. It helps me narrow down where I want to go. You can search your city, then refine that search by county if your city spans more than one. Go to garage sales then search for golf.

I just had my biggest golf garage sale score ever last weekend.

I got a sweet Titleist Stand Bag for $5.

I couldn't get the money out of my wallet quick enough! I still can't believe it. It's a sweet bag in great condition.

a few months ago i found two boxes of BRAND NEW Spalding/Top Flite blades and woods from 1971 that were still in their original boxes. they were the bird-on-ball forged Professional blades 2-9 with a 1 wood, a 3 wood and a 4 wood. they had NEVER even been hit. the lady sold them to me for $40 and I just recently sold them on Ebay for $250. here are some photos. definitely the best garage/estate sale thing i have ever run across golf-wise

Dang that is a good score. I wish I could find something like that.

I barely missed out on a craigslist deal where they had a Nike Pro Combos iron set for $50. =/

I did come home and try and figure out for an hour or so, how I was going to get the extra money for the clubs (all my money in the bank is allocated to bills, if i spend it, a bill doesn't get paid and I overdraw). I took a bunch of my books that I dearly loved to a book store, got $20 for them and by the time I got back the clubs were gone. So I lost out on the clubs, lost my books and ended up with $20 that I'm going to just have to put in my gas tank anyway.

oh, and to top it off, I got turned down for an internship too! great day all around. When I told my wife I didn't get to the clubs in time, my 4y/o gave me a hug and told me he loved me still... that was the best!

Wow!!!!

I remember those. They were great clubs. Came out a little before some of the really beautiful Executive models.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
