Appreciate all the feedback. Think I am going to go over to the local golfers warehouse and try a bunch out. See what feels best.

Have been struggling lately with my putter and I am looking at upgrading to a Scotty Cameron. The current 3 ball putter I use has a very angled shaft that ends up forcing me into a position that is not working for me. I like to work with a more pendulum based swing where my arms hang down more. A pretty straight up and down shaft. I am thinking that I might benefit from a shorter shaft as well. With all the setup options, looking for advice on what might be the best for a pendulum type swing. I am looking at the various Studio Select models. Any advice is appreciated.

OK it sounds like a round is not an option. My only times would be in the afternoon and I am not a fan of heat. Appreciate the info.

Heading out for a trip to Tucson next week and I am flying into Phoenix, will get in with enough time for a quick 9, and I am not great in the heat. Am looking for suggestions on either Phoenix or Tucson, can play right after flying into Phoenix or after working in Tucson the next day.

Appreciate the info, will check them out. Although that website could use a major overhaul. That thing looks like it was made in 1995.

What were the prices like? I am thinking it might be a little steep. I am also looking at Cranston CC, they have the video analysis I am interested in as well. Have about $200-$300 I have slotted for a series of lessons. I can do 4 -45 min sessions at Cranston for $200.

Looking to do a lesson series with video analysis. Preferably V1. Thought the Golfers Warehouse in Cranston had lessons but they do not currently have a pro. Any recommendations in the Rhode Island area?

Going to hit the local golfers warehouse this morning and hopefully they have both of the shoes I am considering. And hopefully I can find a pair on closeout still.

I was also considering the FJ Reelfit. Now you have ne undecided.

Appreciate all the feedback. I have been having trouble finding them in store, but will try and find the shox in a standard shoe and match that size.

Am looking at picking up a pair of the Nike Shox golf shoes while they are a great deal. Am wondering what the sizing is like on these. I normally where a 10 regular in a sneaker, but sometimes a 9 1/2 in a dress shoe. I looked at my footjoys the other day and was surprised that they were a 9 1/2 wide. Anyone experience with these and the best fit. They run big? Small? Somewhere in between?

Paid $1.83 this weekend. Filled up my Redgeline for less than $40, was actually a little excited. And got heating oil for $2.08 as well. One perk of a recession.

I bought the iGolf Neo http://www.igolf.com/ about 3 months ago and have been really happy with it. It does not have all the bells and whistle, but it is small so it fits nicely in my pocket and the price is much better than most out there, $149. There is a subscription of $35 but the nice thing is you get 100 course downloads and once you download them you own them forever. Right now I have downloaded about 25 courses, so just before the year is up I will download any course I may ever want to play and then cancel the renewal. The unit gives you the center, front back and up to 4 other marks per hole, so you might have a right side bunker, water etc for any hole. It is really easy to use and the battery life is phenomenal. They say it can go 4 full rounds on one charge. I have done 9 holes and it still shows 95 or 100%. I highly recommend checking this one out. Great bang for the buck.

I think for me the long putt that drops is the best because it slowly develops and hopefully dramatically drops in there. Hit a nice 50 footer earlier this year and it felt great, wish it would have been for birdie.....baby steps.

Heading down to Orlando myself in February and am looking to find a decent reasonably priced course. Orange County National seems to be getting good feedback.
