Best is subjective; my "best" inexpensive choice is the Nike PD Softs - a gross was $100 ($8.33/dz). Back to the OP, first I've heard of them and you're probably right, a D2 model badged just for Target.

what is your opinion of animal headcovers?

Cute but they seem to take up too much room - I'll pass. -
Scotty Cameron moving to Nike.... ???
alf174 replied to enis750's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Top of the list for any prospective buyer of the brand would be a non-compete clause on Scotty (110% sure he's under one now, albeit for quite a hefty sum) - without it, the value of the brand would be quite a bit lower. -

Excellent point here. And the final decisions over brand selling/buying are mostly how the numbers, as in $, work out. If Nike is willing to pay enough, the bean counters at Titleist may say "go for it". All involved will believe its win-win. -
Its getting very close - tomorrow the high is 31* and windy, occasional snow flurries. Rained most of today.

Buying a course with my lotto money
alf174 replied to ejimsmith's topic in Golf Courses and Architecture
Any single golf course I would consider buying would have to have one whopping bit of cash flow to keep the day-to-day operations from sucking my bank account dry. And if that actually exists, the purchase price is going to be on the high side. I like the idea of investing in a company that owns a bunch of courses and moving around and playing them - in one of those monster RVs. -
Your screen name is spot on when it comes to Michigan. There is a reason why Michigan has 800 golf courses, 700 of which are public. (ps, no its example of the leaves not the fairway)

We were neighbors in the early 80s - I lived in Muirwood next door. That Farmington Hills GC Mschott was telling you about is pretty nice, busy though.

A typical Michigan golf course fairway in the fall. You tell me you can find a yellow ball in that mess lol.
