This is my impulse purchase of the day!!!!

http://www.callawaygolf.com/golf-clubs/fwoods-2015-big-bertha-alpha-815.html

A point and click purchase............LOL

I am a strong proponent of club testing in front of a launch monitor before buying clubs.   I broke that rule for the first time in 15+ years last summer when I bought a TM-SDLR blind, and this proved to be an epic fail.   I bought this club from Edwin Watts online knowing I could return it to a local store if I didn't like it.   I didn't like it.............and I returned it!!   They have pro-style launch monitors where I did club testing and I settled on a Big Bertha Alpha driver..............I LOVE IT!!!!

My thoughts.......I love the BB Alpha driver and the 3-wood comes with the same Fujikara shaft, so I should be OK with the 3-wood? Only time will tell!!!

Here's the deal...I'm a lefty and it's a pain in the ass to test the clubs because I always come in with the intent to test a very specific stick.......and it's too common when they don't have the lefty version with the correct shaft I want to test............anyway...just venting!!  This is why I bought online.....

I'm looking forward to the new club!!   It will be replacing a Callaway FT 3-wood that has served me well, but it's getting long in the tooth and it's time for a replacement. The FT3-wood is the oldest club in my bag........I'm guessing at least 7 years.

I canceled my order with Dicks.............

Instead:  I ordered directly from Callaway online.  WHY?   Many more options...... shafts, grips..etc, etc...  not only could you choose between a myriad of grips, but many shafts and lengths through the Callaway site.

My reason......The stock 3-wood shaft at dicks is 42.8"......... I wanted a 43.5" shaft.   It's the same brand/model.....albeit 1/2 inch longer.

Oh yes.....the BB Alpha815 3-wood has arrived!

Of course the weather is horrible and my next round of golf is nowhere in sight!!     This should go well with the Big Bertha Alpha driver that was added to my bag at the end of last year.  I'm looking forward to playing!!

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
