Sometimes...not often....but sometimes, we need to show some self control.  What were you on the verge of purchasing, but decided to leave behind after really thinking about it.

For me it was a used R11 fairway wood.  It was 110 bucks and in really good condition.

A 4-pack of Guinness. I had the money but they just didn't have any.

A Sun Mountain Three 5 bag and a TaylorMade Monaco cart bag.  I got a second set of clubs and am looking for a bag for them and was all set on the Sun Mountain then changed my mind at the last minute... went to a different shop later in the day and almost got the TaylorMade bag but backed out again.  Still not sure what I'm gonna do but I'm sure I'll make up my mind soon.... then I'll be posting the the "What did you buy on your last trip to the Golf Store?" thread.

Titleist 910D3 and 910F.  Hard for me to swallow spending $400 on a driver, so I bought a genuine Nike VR Pro STR8-FIT Tour driver instead on eBay for $150.

Always changing:

 

Driver: Cobra S2/Nike VR Pro 10.5º

Irons: Callaway X-20 Tour 4-9i

Hybrid: Titleist 910H 19º & 21º

Wood: TaylorMade R11 3w

Putter: Odyssey White Hot

Wedges: Titleist Vokeys - 48º, 54º, 62º

 

First round: February 2011

Well, as long as you buy something....just gotta feed the beast, right?

Mizuno MP-59's.  I have liked them from the first time I saw them.  I promised myself I'd get them when I got down to a 15 as a reward, but unfortunately handicap is currently headed in wrong direction.

I found myself in an in-between situation. I tested a Callaway Razr Hawk at Dick's Sporting Goods last week. Really liked it. I didn't buy the club inside the store that day. A day later, I ordered a used Razr Hawk from Callaway Pre-Owned...

Therefore I sort of did & didn't? Hey, at least I waited a full day & saved myself more than $100!

Side note: the club arrived yesterday. It was described as "Good" condition on Callaway's site...but I'll be damned if it wasn't in perfect condition for a used driver!

I went to the driving range and putting green instead of the golf store. So, judging by the rationale exhibited in the above posts, I saved infinity dollars!!!

I'm curious what a 15.5 handicap needs a second set of clubs for

Maybe he has unlimited funds?  Maybe he has multiple homes?  Maybe he loves golf?!  :D

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
