After a 16 year lay off and the second year back I'm finally getting my old swing back. I was away for so long the Club Pro looked at me like I had 2 heads when I asked for a sleeve of Titleist Balata balls. Shot a 76 on a tight par 67 course. Started with a triple bogey 8, 3 double bogies but made 4 birds.

Ban it for the Pros but leave it be for the rest of us. I don't use one, my putter is an old ZEBRA putter by RAM I got in the late 70's in Okinawa Japan (played the same course that Trivino worked and played on when he was in the USMC, Awase Meadows.) If the handicap is based on the use of a long/belly putter it's fair. If the use of these putters make the game more enjoyable for someone I'm all for it. Kind of like playing from the white or even red tees, your handicap is based on them also .

With 3 mulligians I think it's his 10th shoot that may have been sweet (lol)!

I see lots of Ping Irons w/edged serial #'s. I have aa set of Ping Eye2 irons and the serial number is stamped.
