Wow, did I pick the wrong time to catch golf fever in Nebraska after 4 years away or what??!!!

Just joined this site and am looking forward to discussions and seeing the different equipment choices you all use.  I don't seem to have the option to edit my Signature yet.  Read something about having to post a few times?  I'll figure it out.

Anyway, back with golf fever after stopping cold turkey at the end of 2006 for various reasons.  Been on craigslist and ebay buying and selling like crazy since November getting ready for the spring.  Have collected 4 putters off ebay in the last 2 months.  Changing putters is a "hobby". That's actually how I found this Sand Trap site...reading all the reviews and forum discussions about the clubs I was looking at.

Well, looking forward to the discussions, learning, laughs, etc...

Thanks,

Tom

Welcome Tom,

Turns out anytime a person gets back into the game is a good time (at least from my perspective).

I am interested - what kind of putters did you pick up?

Though some people are a little too impatient to wait to win an auction on Ebay or perhaps a little worried about whether or not they are getting the genuine article, I have found Ebay to be a pretty good option for golfers who want to get a good deal.

My thing is - I want to hit the club - get the specs - and then shop around.

Once again, glad you found The Sandtrap.

Thanks for the welcome.

Regarding the putters I currently have in hand, here they are:

  • YES! Sophia
  • YES! Madison
  • Odyssey White Steel Tri Ball SRT
  • Odyssey White Hot Tour #7H (Selling this one)
  • Odyssey DF550 - from years ago
  • MacGregor V-Foil MOI M6.4K - from years ago

On the way...freshly purchased via ebay:

  • Heavy Putter L3 Mid Black Mallet
  • Nike IC 20-20A

Trying them out to see which to keep and which to sell.  Not much else you can do in Nebraska winter!

As of this moment, my favorites are the White Steel Tri Ball (the visual on that is EXCELLENT and it's VERY easy to pendulum dead straight) and the YES! Sophia due to mainly the look and feel.  Beautiful stick.
Can't wait to get outta the living and dining room and putt outside!

Welcome. Why did you stop playing?at least you're back now. I've been through the putter collection phase, it gets expensive!

Stopped playing after the 2006 season due to $$ redirection (kids get more expensive as they get older-this just in) and due to my on course temperment.  Got down to a 4 HC and got to the point where I couldn't accept blowing up on a hole...expecting perfection basically.  Hard to explain.  It just got more frustrating than fun so it was time for a break.  Had no idea it would turn into a 4 year break.

    • Day 159: did a stack session.  
    • Day 84 - 2024-12-23 I hit balls for 20 minutes after lessons and after getting down a BodiTrak for resale. Hinge. Path was weirdly consistent today at 1.6° or so ± like 0.8° only.
    • Day 13: 12/23/2024 A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between. Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish. 
    • Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…
