I did notice the mis-spelling and also seen a picture of a Ping iron with Ping spelled backwards on it. I have to believe that these are fakes or a site that just takes your credit card info.

While surfing the web for Titleist AP1 irons with graphite shafts I stumbled upon a store called "golfonlinewholesale.com". They offer these irons for $349.00 with free shipping. Has anyone ever bought from here before. It sounds too good to be true. Thanks

I set it to C4. At the stock setting I was ending up on the far left side of the fairway because of a fairly good draw, then switched to D4 which brought it back some but eventually ended up at C4. I now have a very small amount of draw and with a little aim to the right I am center of the fairway now. I also gained a whole lot of more yardage. I'm guessing somewhere between 30-40 yards. I don't get too excited about new products and all of the hype that comes along with it but this driver is the real deal. I will say that I was an avid Bridgestone E6 ball user but I didn't like the feel of it off the face, I tee'd up a Bridgstone Tour BB30-RX that I found and fell in love with it. Long and straight.

Hi folks, just wanting to comment on my experience with my new driver. I got to pick out my birthday gift from my wife so I decided I needed a new driver. I picked the Titleist 910 D2 in 9.5* with an Aldila RIP stiff shaft. I got to use it yesterday without getting to go to the range first. My first two shots on the stock settings made me think that the club was nothing special, then I changed the setting for the next tee, a little better. Changed it once more for the following tee and WOW!!! I cannot explain how it rockets off of the face. I am really happy with the performance. I guess this is more of a review. Just wanted to share.

I just wondered if practicing hitting down on the ball and taking a divot would be a waste of time practicing on a turf type matt. I don't want to waste time and effort and possibly ruin some clubs if this is not worth the time and effort. I set up a hitting spot in my garage for practice this winter and was just thinking about this. Thanks in advance.

Mis-spelling miss hit really tells the truth. Mi shit.

[ EDIT: If you've never been stung by a mishit 2i blade in 26 degrees with no glove, then you just haven't lived!! [/QUOTE] the 3 iron I miss hit really stung, all the way up to my shoulder.

I had thought of buying a used set of x forged from Callaway figuring that it would make me be a little more precise in ball striking. On the other hand I should take advantage of the forgiveness that the x-24 offers. Just always in pursuit of a better game I suppose.
-
You are definitely dedicated to the game. I admire that. I would probably do the same but all of the local driving ranges are closed. Good luck with the grip change. I have a baseball style grip. I've tried to change it but just cannot get comfortable with other styles. How do you like the X forged irons? I bought a 3 iron to try figuring the others would be easier if the 3 iron was good but to tell you the truth, it's painful when I mishit. Nice results when I do make good contact. I currently play X-24's and mishits with them are almost non noticeable with decent results.

The night that you guys got all of that snow we missed it. It was just visible in the air and never accumulated. But it is now. lol

Sounds like a new video game in the making to me. lol

One other thing you can add to this is caffeine. I use to have a soda on the way to the course. I am not a coffee drinker so anytime I have caffeine it makes me a little jittery. It would kinda affect me especially when putting on the first few holes as while walking it would wear off. I just thought it was nerves but then realized what I was doing and turned to water before and during a round. However I can understand if someone has a beer to settle some nerves while waiting to tee off. We all need a little help sometimes huh?

Not one ounce of snow. It was a really nice day with little wind. Sunny all day. 45* . Cooled off around the 14th hole due to it being on lower ground but actually was very nice. The next day however it rained all day and today looks like a blizzard. Thats why I said the weather changes every ten minutes here in Illinois.
-
I was actually able to get out and play yesterday, the 10th. Temps made it's way up to 45* without much wind. I feel as though I was lucky being this late into December. Got thru 14 before temps started dropping. The course I played was in great shape (Edgewood CG in Auburn,IL). $20 with cart and play all day. I used Bridgestone e6 balls which worked pretty well, I used the same one thru 10 before losing it. Thats the thing about Illinois, if you don't like the weather here just wait 10 minutes because it changes that often. Today were expecting a few inches of snow. yuk.

I was hit by an older gentle mans drive. It hit me right in the stomach. I thought he could care less that he did it because he sent his friend over to apologize. I was mad that he didn't yell fore but was informed that he could due to throat cancer. He was scared because he was older and I was standing there waiting on him. He had some type of device in his throat so I was fine afterwards. Had the welt dimples and all for a few days.

I am diabetic so the walking, swinging the clubs, and carrying the bag does a great job in keeping my sugar level down. Also makes me a more patient person. I recently got my wife to start playing so it allows us to spend more time together. We both love golf.

Bridgestone e6. Great ball.
-
Yes I have, and it came from a co-worker who is the nicest guy ever. We were in a work league together. He had just moved here from L.A. Totally nice guy, would give you the shirt off of his back. We got to the 7th hole of our first match of the season and he made a bad shot and then all hell broke loose. He went on a 2-3 minute cussing spree and a few of us had to actually take his club out of his hand. Our company's HR man happened to be a hole over came over to talk to him about embarrasing the company. He settled down, started laughing and continued. I thought maybe he has a mental handicap. He just quit coming to work one day. Never did hear what happened. But yes, you never know who you will be paired up with. Had a newly wed couple ask me if I was Garth Brooks one day. lol Been told I look like him but never asked if I was him. lol

The wife and I got out today. It was at a high of 52. It really wasn't bad. The wind gust only a few times but it was playable. Probably the last time out this season as the forecast shows it being wet and cold coming up. Anyway, in another section here I commented on playing the Bridgestone e6. It was perfect today. I played the entire 18 holes with the same ball I started with. It is a great ball and not over priced. I played very well today and the wife is really playing well too.
-
Yeah, it was 39* Didn't feel bad though. Had fun. Going again today.
-
The show Jackass probably prompted this idiot to do this.

Was able to get out today again and play 18. Got kinda of a gift today. Arriving at the golf course several people were out playing, lots of cars in the lot. I got up to the pro shop and door locked. I thought, it's only 11:00 wheres the pro. I looked around and could find no one. A foursome on two so I went ahead and tee'ed up and played. Apparently he just took the day off. When the course is closed they take the pins out. Gotta be honest, I didn't feel comfortable, kept looking over my shoulder thinking someone would pull up wanting paid. It's a city course so I figured someone would come around but never happened. Anyway, had a decent day, the weather was not too bad, not too windy. Going tomorrow also, suppose to be warmer. The wife is going too.
-
I was able to get in 9 holes today. Played terrible, should've stayed at home. Weather was not too bad. Just didn't have it today. Going to go again tomorrow though.

We had quite a bit a rain yesterday here in Springfield so even if I could brave the cooler temps I don't know how wet it will be. I am hoping for the best though.
