I received 2 dozen TP5x balls and a hat my dad got me from Firestone CC when he played it this summer.

I bought myself grips on ebay. I have been wanting to buy pure grips and found a great deal. I was able to get 17 pure pro, 14 mimaya tour PC, 8 tour velvet supertack diamond, 3 boccieri secret, 2 golf pride new decade multi compound, 3 golf pride cp2 pro, 2 golf pride cp2 wrap, 1 golf pride tour tradition putter, 3 pure classic putter, 1 lamkin iline putter, 1 ping blackout putter, and 1 super stroke ultra thin putter. All for $65 with free shipping. All were new. I also bought myself a $2.99 airgun with needle attachment from Harbor Freight to blow on grips with (works like a charm). I really just wanted to get 13 pure pro grips, but all of this was about the same price. I like the feel of the mimaya's so much that I think that I will start with them. If I don't like them, I will just blow them off.  Sorry to be so wordy on my first post.

I got a pretty good golf haul this year with golf related gifts from my wife, my parents, and her parents. 

2 dozen Chromesofts (my mom said she got these buy one get one free on black friday!)

3 dozen Callaway Diablo Tour (wife got these 3 for $40 on black friday as well)

Under Armor golf polo

Maxfli putting matt (a compromise with the wife since she wasnt too fond of me wanting to build my own putting green in the basement)

     Obviously this is for straight putts, but it has been perfect so far for allowing me to putt daily and get used to the Super Stroke grip that I put on a few weeks ago.

A Bridgestone J15 Satin 60 degree wedge and FootJoy Winter gloves.  As it's zero degrees and snow on the ground in MN, I won't be able to try my new toys out until this Spring.

I did treat myself to 3 dozen Softfli's , 2 dozen Gamer Softs, and 1 dozen Duo U's at crazy low prices starting Black Friday.  I did receive a pair of very dark blue sunglasses that are supposed to help you find golf balls on the ground or rough.  I will try them in the Sping - at my age I can use all the help I can get especially on solo practice rounds.

My wife told me to go ahead and get a Cobra FlyZ 4-5H that I found on eBay. It has the 73-gram senior flex shaft which matches the 3-4H that I got a year ago. Got it for $55, looks like a slightly used demo.

I'm lofting the 3-4H down to 19° and setting the 4-5H at 22°. Thus, my new 4H is 3/4" shorter than the 3-4H I played at 22°. Early flight appears to be minimal loss of distance, with more consistency.

I need to put the two on a launch monitor to fine-tune the yardage gaps. Home course practice range sets atop a hill, so it's not very useful for gauging club distance.

After I also gauge the FWs and things settle down, I'll probably drop the 7W or 3H or 4i to get down to 14 clubs.

Focus, connect and follow through!

A dozen orange balls. I am normally a plain white guy, but these are nice contrast on dormant Bermuda.

750ML of Woodford Reserve. Y'all decide the golf application. Nice for after the round on chilly days; might even invest in a flask but I have never done that. Actually, it is probably a six month or better supply for me, but I do enjoy the occasional 2 fingers over six ice cubes.

    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
