New Irons, beautiful day, 2 ranges closed!!!

[jrm1493]

I just got my new irons last night (see sig) and went out this morning to hit them since I'm working evenings. Both of the ranges close to my house were closed! The first one, at a nice course nearby, is closed about half the time I go; anytime it rains or whenever they feel like it. They treat their range like its freaking Augusta National. I don't know why.

The second one is more of a goat farm but its fine for hitting balls. I got there about 8:50 and nobody was there so I gathered up a few balls from near the hitting area and hit maybe 30-40, until about 9:30. Still nobody there so I left $6 under a weight on the outdoor counter (since I hit about a small buckets' worth). Pretty annoying. They don't seem to have any hours posted but it is a beautiful day, you'd think they'd be there by 9 at the latest...

I love the new irons from what little I was able to hit them. Glad I went with the DG shafts as opposed to the PX flighted as I had no trouble getting the long irons up in the air, which I was a little concerned about (only hit them on a launch monitor before I bought them). Felt sweet and seemed pretty easy to work the ball either way. Other than a couple s****s they even seemed more forgiving than my old Adams clubs - a tighter dispersion on balls that weren't hit well (probably because my old clubs were regular shafted). I got them from Callaway preowned and was very satisfied with the condition, even though they were "average".

wow that sucks, but hey at least you got to hit em!!!!! congrats on your new "babies" and good luck with em in 2010!

Oh man, they are lucky to have such an honest player like yourself to leave money. If I had new irons like that I would probably find anywhere to hit them, hehe. Good luck!

Screw the irons..I'm totally impressed with your sense of honesty. If there were more like you around, the world would be a better place.

Congrats on the new weapons.

At least your in TX, everything up my way (Mass) is closing up for the year. Can't really blame anyone though. Not a ton of fun playing in 45 degree.s

I was thinking that if he picked up the balls himself then he should have got to hit them for free.
