golf anyone?
 

I am slated to play my first round of the year either today or tomorrow, or both:) Even got a new set of irons (Hogan CFT's). Those of you not from the north won't understand what a big deal this is. Your first round signifies that winter is over! Supposed to be 65+ today:) Happy days are here again!

I am still waiting for my golf season to begin. We have had some nice days in the past month, but not on the weekends, which is when I play. I am so tired of hitting balls off fake grass. Get out there and hit the heck out of those new clubs!

Just bought another 64 degree wedge. Won the club championship (with handicap) last year with the other one. Look out now!

I just took up golf 6 months ago. My 13 year old son loves it so we play once a week. I hit the ball real long, but man I stink at this game. Still having fun though.

I'm waiting another 20 years or so to start.....I know I'll get addicted and I don't have enough time as it is.

I knew there was a reason I moved to Vegas....GOLF...yeah thats it...365/12..that how often you can play here.

I really don't play Golf, but I do like chasing the little white ball around the course all day..It shouldn't be how few times you have to hit the ball but how many and I get my monies worth. I once was thrown outa Pebble Beach, they asked me what all the camping gear was for? I said the way I play I'm gona be here for awhile...anyway

Anyway I love to buy clubs..each time I buy one I think this is gona be the one thats gona make me great...so far I just havn't found the right one.

The first set of clubs I bought were the Callaway Tungsten Titanium Big Berthas (graphite) with the Titanium Big Bertha woods in 11*, 3,5,7 (graphite). For a Putter I bought the Titlest Scotty Cameron Newport. Then I bought a set of Ping Eye3's Oversized (graphite), next was a set of Ben Hogan Edge cavity backs (used) then a set of Ben Hogan Blades (used) and finially a set of Ping Eye 2 Berylium Coppers (used). In between I bought a Titelist 975D Driver in 9.5* a 13* and 18* wood. Also I have Cleveland wedges in 53* and 58* in BECU and a 60* in NI. It's really tough trying to find a Caddy whose willing to haul all these clubs around the course for me....

Sandbagger! J/K! 64 degrees? Look out airplanes! So what's in everyones bag? Mine are: Taylor Made 9.5 deg. Burner Plus Flex Twist Graphite Driver (exta stiff shaft, 15 years old), Taylor Made Tour spoon 13 deg. (S300 dynamic gold shaft), Ping eye2 1 iron (True temper titanium, extra stiff), 2 thru W 1973-1975 Wilson Staff (S300 Dynamic golds), Cleveland 53 deg. SW, and a ping pal putter. Yea, my stuff gets laughed at, but not for very long. Haven't changed a club since 89 when I got the driver.

So let's hear it!SmileWavy

I play it backwards from the 18th to the 1st. I call it "Flog".........

What's in my bag:

Callaway VFT 11 degree driver standard flex
Callaway Steelhead 3 wood standard flex
Callaway Steelhead 3-PW, SW and LW graphite standard flex
Odyssey Two-ball putter, but I kinda like my old school titleist bullseye better
Callaway bag
Callaway balls
Callaway hat

...I guess I like Callaway. :)

I went down to visit the Callway Headquarters near San Diego, for a club fitting.... It's basically all hype. I can see fitting a set of clubs for your size, but this new and improved club that they introduce every 6 months is just to keep club sales going...or why else would anyone trade in a perfectly good "yesterdays new and improved" set of clubs.

Now if you ask me Callaway Golf is designed for the ocasional or weekend player. They make nice shiney clubs that are designed to be as forgiving as possible...but they are always coming out with that new club that is going to turn your game around and make you great. They are the Hypemeisters...

The one thang that I found completely laughable when visiting Callaway..is that they make you sign a non disclousure agreement, that if you should happen to see anything thats well new and not yet for sale that you can't tell about it. As if theres anything new under the sun in Golf...

TaylorMade 580 Driver, 3 and 5 woods. Graphite. Stiff shaft. ;)

TaylorMade #3 rescue club.

Titleist OS822 irons.

Titleist Volkey sand and lob wedges.

Ancient Zebra mallet putter.

These clubs are no explanation for my poor game.

Tabs -
I had a set of custom Penicks made for me a few years ago and it made a world of difference. I'm 6'5" and having the kickpoint dialed in on the shaft and the perimeter weighting tailored to my swing was night-and-day.
The problem is, I can't blame the clubs any more, it's all my fault that I suck.

My clubs are x-14's, which I bought two seasons ago. I am very short, so I had them custom fitted. For me, this was almost mandatory. As far as new clubs every six months or year, I agree that it is not necessary to get new clubs every time new and "improved" clubs come out. Every person that I have talked to that is knowledgeable about golf has said the x-14 is still one of the best clubs produced by Callaway, so there is no reason to get new clubs.

I have enough things to spend my money on, thanks...

Funny, I live within 1/2 mile of TWO golf courses. Never played a game in my life.

70 degrees here in MA today. A boy's mind turns to cars...baseball...and golf.

Titleist 983E 8.5 Speeder Stiff
Taylor Made Retro Spoon 13 and Raylor 18
Hogan Apex Edge Pro 2-PW (substitute 2 iron or 5 wood depending on course)
Cleveland RTG 53
Titleist Vokey 58
Odyssey 2 ball.

Disappointing year in 2003, kept the 2 handicap but played poorly in big events. Looking to right the ship in 2004. The season is all in front of me, filled with promise!

I also have the following Orginal Taylor Made Metal Woods in the following lofts...7*,8*,8.5*,9*,9.5*,10*,10.5*,11*,12*,13*,1 4*,15*,16*, 18*,19*,20*,21*,23*,24*, 6 Wood, 27* & 27.5*.

I have one for every occasion.

WOW! You should put them all, or as many as possible, in your bag and go to the course...see how many people point and stare. :p

I feel for you guys up north, We play all
year.

Golf is a lot of fun, but as far as addictions go it makes Porsche disease look like a walk in the park. ;)

Golf...Porsche...Golf...Porsche.

I know! I'll take the 911 to the course! (Clubs DO fit, by the way!)
