It's my hard earned money..

I miss shots with a driver I am comfortable with because if I didn't I might actually be able to make it to a scratch.

So you would expect a new club if they damaged your used one and offered to fix it for free but you had to take a demo for 2 weeks? I'm betting you would just take the demo instead of haggling anyone

Leave the kid out of it....not really apples to apples, is it? He's not paying for it, nor capable to handle the situation with the adults running the store. He might go home

No offense, kid!

People like you are impossible to talk with..

When did I say I disnt get a great deal?

when did i ask for sympathy?

I was in a busy retail store, of course people heard our conversation..

Whining?

I think not, dont confuse anger and whining....

i posted a rant.. if you dont like it, move on, nothing to see here..

i now wish something would happen to your clubs as mentioned, and see how you would handle it.. it would be fun to see you turn face..

I did not expect a new club.. a lot of you guys posting negatively are not only very short sided, but obviously have failed to read the majority of the post..

The only club that happened to match my club was new.

it varied $50 between new and used.. the guy was a disgruntled employee and was unwilling to accept they screwed up.. not having my club for 2 weeks was unacceptable..

Let it go, Donnie!

I can see your point, but maybe you didn't handle it perfectly either.....at the end of the day, opinions are like a-holes....everyone's got one and they all stink except yours!!!!

Your right, I wouldn't have demanded a new club. I would have taken the demo...

But then again, I don't blame Donnie B for handling it the way he did. Like I said, he may be been a little too demanding in his request for a new club, but I can't fault him for being extremely aggrivated by them scratching his driver when he specficially told them to be careful of that.

By exact model specs you mean stiff shaft? I'm just curious how you came to the conclusion that you need that specific stiff shaft if you just bought the club 2 weeks ago.

wow, this thread got huge fast! i only got thru the first 2 pages, but I have to side with the OP (Donnie_Brasco) on this one. he specifically told the guy to be careful and not scratch his new club, but the guy poo-poo'd (didnt listen to) him, didnt respect the customers merchandise, and scratched it anyway.
i think he is justified in wanting the EXACT loaner club that he currently uses, not something with a regular flex shaft when he uses a stiff flex shaft.... as long as i understand this correctly (they ended up loaning him his EXACT club, but it was brand new instead of a used one with a regular flex shaft), I dont see what the problem is. they F'd up the guys club. give him the same club as a loaner for 2 weeks while they fix their screw-up. it was THEIR fault.... just my opinion though

the V2 offered the diamanna bb as a stock shaft per say..

i got a deal on a v2 with a tfc ping stiff shaft..

i purchased a once pulled shaft that came out of v2 to replace the one in it..

the only used/demo club they had was v2 with reg flex.

Only thing is, they ended up GIVING him the new club for his used club and he still wasn't satisfied, so he came here to rant.

i think he was satisfied at that point..but still, he said his club was basically new and thats why he wanted it taken care of. and they didnt take care of it. i think its their fault.... but we all have our own opinions on how it should've been handled, and this is my opinion. his club was basically new and they scratched it up.

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      So I am aware that "the committee is allowed to set its own standards of player conduct in a code of conduct adopted as a local rule" (rule 1.2b) I also understand that there are some aspects that are allowed to be entered, and some that are not allowed.  My question specifically is: In which form does this code of conduct need to be available? Is it enough for someone to say "that's part of our code of conduct", or is it a requirement, that the code of conduct is in written form? Also, is there a need that the local rule points to the code of conduct in any way?   For better understanding: I'm playing competition and the next course that we play has a "no smoking policy". I don't have a problem with it, as I don't smoke anyway, but one of my team-mates does, and someone told him "You'll get disqualified if you smoke on the course".   Now I have looked at their local rules and there is no reference to a "code of conduct". I'm not sure if they even have an official "code of conduct" that states that smoking is not allowed.   I fully agree that he SHOULD respect this request from the club, but I am wondering if the club would really be allowed to DQ this player for this, if it's not properly documented in their local rules/code of conduct?  This is an official national amateur tournament, so not just something organized by a club for its members.

      My Journey to Straighter Iron Shots

      By MiuraMan ·

      A few months back I purchased the following swing aid on Amazon ($130). It is solidly made of steel and heavy and stable in use. I use it both at the range and at home. Swing Plate Dual PRO by Jamie Brittain - Swing Analyzer Aid - Fits Standard 8mm Alignment Rod Sticks - Teaching Swing Plane Perfector - Indoor/Outdoor Golfing Practice. This winter I set a goal for myself to improve my backswing/downswing to be more consistent and on plane. I had a two way miss with my approach shots this past golf season. I have a hitting set-up in my garage, but I needed something to provide feedback while swinging the club. I came across the Swing Plate while browsing YouTube.   I set it up with the correct angles for my 8 iron. I started out with just the back rod in place, which prevents me from getting too far inside on the backswing. Started out slow and as I got comfortable increased my swing speed. Now I also came across a YouTube video on building a better backswing and getting more width in the backswing and added that to my practice. That video is here:    This video is a bit wordy since you are basically a fly on the wall as Ian gets a lesson. It took a few replays to be able to get the substance of the instruction. It was well worth the effort. Over the last two weeks I have been able to get out on the course and gauge how successful my practice has been. Overall, my consistency with approach shots has improved greatly. Incorporating the added width in my swing has also added a few yards to all my clubs.  What has your off-season training been like?
