Anyone Else buy a Scotty Cameron Ball Tool?
Mr3Putt replied to iacas's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Actually, the "Shield" version is $15 if you buy 1, $25 for 2, $55 for 5, with free shipping. This type is two sided. He also offers a round "poker chip" version for $8. Did you see the Shield type for $9.99? I'd probably buy one at that price. Cameron Tool for Comparison -
Would my putter be considered heavy, light, or medium?
Mr3Putt replied to shades9323's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I vote medium. The branded heavy putters are just that, heavy. -

At Oakmont, if you had a Sunday pass, it would let you in for a Monday playoff.

Clicgear II Trolley with Callaway xtra-lite standbag?
Mr3Putt replied to RedBaron's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I used a very similar Callaway bag (X-terra?) with my Sun Mountain cart. The legs on mine could be strapped closed. Even if yours cannot, there should be no problem. Why not take your bag to a store that sells the cart and see if it works OK? -
What did you say the cost of the upgrade was? $4,500? Cripe, finance that through the heating company or put it on your Visa and be done with it. If it will really make that huge of a difference in the sales price and selling time, it's a no brainer. I mean why go through the hassle of an equity loan if all you need is less than $5,000? If your sales agent is right, it will be a very short term loan. (note the big "if")

I don't think you can go wrong with any of the above. I have a Sun Mountain V1, it's unbelievable. Personally, I like the pneumatic tires, smooth, smooth, smooth sailing, and I've never had an issue with flats, just an occasional pumping using the onboard pump. I also added the seat which is superb if your stuck watching the slowpokes in front plumb bobbing their 4th putt every hole. The umbrella holder setup is fantastic, you WILL stay drier than your cart riding buddies in the rain. I also like the brake. It's controlled on the handle and locks the FRONT wheel. It's great for quick getaways near the green. Just do a wheelie and off you go. But, If transport space is your primary concern, then the Clicgear is for you. It folds up really small. Other than that, it offers nothing over the Sun Mountain. Whatever you do though, stick with the name brands. These things should last forever if you don't roll them into the lake.

The tour series have less offset and a thinner topline on the heads. They are also offered with more shaft options from Callaway. They are available in all flex ranges so they may or may not be stiffer than the non tour series. The tour series have a more traditional hosel, not the bore-thru type. They still have the cavity back and perimeter weighting that will help you get the ball up. Unless you are a consistent slicer of the ball there is no need to fear the tour series. They can possibly bring your game to the next level. What spec clubs are you looking at, and what's the price point?
-
I called Callaway regarding a set of irons, I gave them the serial number and they asked me what the specs were for the clubs. They confirmed the type, set makeup, shaft, lie and born on date. Counterfeiters usually don't match the specs like that. It may be a valid number on something, but not on the exact club. They even use the same number on many clubs. Serial number authentication is not foolproof (what is?), but it's certainly a valid tool when trying to confirm authenticity.

Weighting the grip/but of your clubs?
Mr3Putt replied to ajahn's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Many custom fitted Wishon clubs have these weights in the end of the grip. I believe they are used to equalize the swingweight throughout the set. -
If you play this game long enough, I guarantee you will get one of those mono scope flag measuring things as a gift. On the golf course, they are pretty useless. Don't ever buy one. You can get an older laser on Ebay or Craigslist for under $100. I sold mine on this forum for $80. It worked/works great for exact approach distances. I would absolutely wait until you can get afford one with the Pinseeker function. Different manufacturers name give this feature a different name, but whatever they call it, you want it..

It sounds like your mind is already made up, and that's OK. Get the loan, do the fixes, sell the joint. Ask your agent how a buyer or prospect would know what the seller owes on the house. I've bought a number of shacks/properties etc., any offers were based on my perceived/learned value of the property, regardless of any encumbrances. It would take lots of dues diligence and research to determine owners true equity. What about any loans that aren't recorded (personal, trust, off balance sheet stuff)? Over half the properties getting sold in this economy are "short sales". That means they are sold for LESS than the mortgages owed. Having lots of debt on the property your selling does not put you in a strong negotiating position. Sorry to say this but both of your agent sources are full of .

Looking for resort suggestions within 5 hrs of Detroit…
Mr3Putt replied to Bump-n-MI's topic in Golf Courses and Architecture
Load the boys up on a plane and head to Vegas. I think Spirit and Southwest fly out of Detroit, best accommodations on the planet, and more courses than you can count. Not to mention the weather in May is terrific. A flying/van renting trip might take a little more planning and $$$$, but Vegas rocks! Especially on a boys trip! (not for nothing, but Nemacolin is in my backyard, I agree it's an outstanding facility, but with what you would pay for a golf trip there, you could do a nice Vegas adventure for the same bucks. Plus, it's 2 courses at Mystic Rock vs. hundreds in Vegas) -
On the surface it sounds like a good plan if....... A. Your equity loan terms are favorable. B. The house sells quickly. C. You don't build up the "other" debt back up in the interim. A loan secured by your home, usually has better terms and is treated better for tax purposes than most other kids of debt. But, the banks just aren't as liberal with equity loans as they used to be. The qualifying is tougher and the terms aren't as user friendly as "back in the day". If you put $XX into the house, will you get $XX out of the property? How much faster will you get out from under the property by improving it? Sometimes it's better to reduce the price to speed up the sale, rather than spending money on improvements and hoping it helps. Every buyer out there today is looking for a deal. And rightly so. Good Luck.

Really wanting to update my fairway woods
Mr3Putt replied to amcquay's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I just ordered a Ping G10 17 degree 4 wood. I'm finally replacing my 10 year old Callaway 3 wood. Hopefully this new 4 wood will do the job. All the demoing and fitting says it should, but only the scorecard will know for sure. This will be my first setup ever without a 3 wood, but for me, the numbers on the club is just a number, this 4 should actually fly further with more "love". I also have an older Ping G2 7 wood. Money club. Love it! For a long time I disliked Ping woods, their "i" series sucked (IMO). I am thrilled with the G series. -
They may not be yours, but there are usually plenty to choose from. The green hitting will come.
-
I picked C. I learned that if you have no clue as to what the correct multiple choice answer is you should always pick C. Hope that helps!

Are Staff bags pretentious??
Mr3Putt replied to Newc's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I think golf bags are a lot like attics. You tend to fill up the available space with stuff you may or may not ever need. Also, those giant staff bags are also a PITA for the guy who shares the golf cart with you, it's kinda like sitting next to the really fat guy on an airplane. There's only so much wiggle room. With my Saturday game, we usually carpool to the more distant tracks. We can get 4 or 5 on board depending if it's an SUV or a car. We have one guy who has one of those tour staff bags, if it's car day, we meet him at the course, there's just no room in a trunk. If you ever fly with your sticks, not only do you need a plus sized travel cover, I can almost guarantee you'll be hit with the over 50 lb surcharge most airlines now enjoy charging you. So, if you always ride to the course alone, never share a cart, don't ever want to fly on a golf vacation, then a staff bag makes perfect sense. -
He also has this listing It takes all kinds I guess...

During most rounds, I have far too many wagers out there to be creative with the rules. I agree with Spackler, try a round or two using the actual rules. It won't kill you, and you might just surprise yourself.
