I tend to struggle with sand shots, shots from 70 yards in, and green side chips. Joe

Back in High School, I played in a tournament and played 18 holes with Keith Fergus. That would be around 1970-71. Joe

Just put a jumbo Winn 1.60 on my putter. My putting has improved tremendously in the three rounds since. Joe

Picked up a Leupold GX-2i for $239 at an Edwin Watts store closing sale in Arlington, TX. Gonna use it for the first time tomorrow. Joe

I'm like you, I am not so much interested in having the "longest ever" type clubs. I used to play a pretty long game in my younger days, but these days 250 is about my longest drive and, pushing 60, I find that I am more into staying in the short grass than trying to get longer. Hence, I'm looking for more game improvement type clubs now. I will be back in the Dallas area next week. I'll probably hit the PGA Superstore and Golfsmith soon after arriving. Joe

I was at the Tulsa Golf Galaxy yesterday thinking about getting some new irons to replace my Ping G15's. I hit Xhot Pro, speedblades , rocketblades, Mizuno EZ's, and one other that doesn't come to mind right now. The two Taylormade types were fine. I absolutely hated the Mizuno EZ's. The Xhot Pro's were sweet! My first shot was a little squibbler, but after that the 6 iron was getting out there to 170+. My current Pings are in the 160 range for a 6 iron. I was unable to complete the fitting as I had to leave, but it wondered why I wasn't given a regular Xhot to hit? What is the difference in the Xhot and Xhot Pro lines? Joe

I just bought the Xhot driver a couple of weeks ago. I hit Ping, Rocketballs. And Cleveland, but got the best results and feel from the Xhot. Using it on the course has been FUN!!

This is such a GREAT story!! I like this Dufner guy. Joe

So, are these MP-4's considered game improvement irons or are they for the low handicappers only?? Joezilla

I noticed that Dick's Sporting Goods has Taylormade Burner 3.0 drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids for sale. Can this be right? I have found no mention on Golf Galaxy or Golfsmith's websites. So, is it fact or fiction?? Joe

You are probably right. Costo is the only place I've seen the Callaway Hex Control golf balls. Joe

I picked up a two dozen box of Callaway Hex Control balls at Costco earlier this year. If I remember right, they were $29 for the 24 balls. I do not like them. I could not get them to stop on the greens. They just ran and ran. Joe

I've got a Leupold GX-1 and a Golf Buddy Voice. I love the GBP. Probably the reason I like it so much is no longer having to spend $$ on Sky Caddy subscriptions. The Leupold GX-1 has been my constant golfing companion for the past 3 to 4 years. It has started to begin being a little flaky so I see a new GX-2i in my future. Joezilla

That is one GORGEOUS putter!! Congrats! Hope you 1 putt every green. Joe

Oh my, it is getting DEEP in here!! ha Joe
