When I shoveled yesterday we had a total of 9 inches, freezing rain tomorrow morning. Got to love it!

Looks like a sub par round is coming soon!

I hope so!!!

Happy early birthday present to me!!!

Buying things scratches the winter golf itch somewhat.  Here are a few recent purchases.
First, I bought grips, ferrules, and stickers for a refurb project I am working on.  

I also bought a joke putter online.  Check out the gold shaft and grip on this thing!   I would show you the putter head, but this is a family-friendly site.  Suffice it to say there is an engraving on the putter labeling it as “UNIQUE D”.  (Yes, in all caps.)

You have to wear them down. 

If you decide to reshaft them also, I suggest the Dynamic gold in your flex (standard version/ not lite), game changer for those irons. Keep in mind they have a tapper tip .355. When I changed mine I bought the shafts so I only have to trim about 1/2in off each. lol that was 30years ago.

I did, they have a chart on their website to help you decide, I was between weights so I went with the heavier weight for the irons and got a 40gram weight for the driver.
If you get sometime check out the video, I been following him for a while. I used to make and repair clubs a long time ago and now been wanting to get back into it. First time adding the counter balance weights to my own clubs.

He completed 3 tests, the standard wedge, then with a 25gram weight in the butt end and finally a 50 gram weight. When counterweighting it reduces swing weight from say a D2 into the mid C's for the 25 gram the swing speed increased, yards increased and dispersion got tighter, for the 50gram, it changed the swing weight into the low C's decreased the clubhead speed a touch, gained more yards and dispersion was even tighter.
** even though the weighting made the swing weight get lighter the actual club was heavier. **
 
The weights I purchased go through the grip, you buy a little tool almost like a hole saw, cut the grip and the weight goes in and you tighten it down, he changed his by removing the grip with air and then replacing it with air.

Ok so I am not the only one that thought it was a good idea lol My fiance likes arts & crafts so I have been helping her get more into that which is good because it is time consuming like golf can be.

I purchased counter balance weights for my irons to gain some clubhead speed and tighter dispersion from TourLock.

I have a set of those Hogan Edge GS irons 2-SW that are in mint condition, a coworker used to work for Spaulding and before they went out of business he had pick them up. They were in his attic still in original boxing. I loved the Hogan Edge originals prior to them coming out with the GS model. Best irons I ever played!

Oh yeah this little thing I am totally not going to purchase? Definitely not 😅😂

Just don't get a putter and say it is for her, because you got her initials engraved on it. That doesn't count as a gift for her as I have been told... long story haha

First time long time. I decided I needed to keep a bag down in Tampa where we travel to visit my wife’s family, frequently enough. The plan was to get some good finds from Goodwill, but that ended up snowballing as things like these tend to do… Ended up with:
- A net setup in the garage with the Rapsodo MLM

- Outlet Callaway Epic Speed from CPE ($140, basically new)

- And my goodwill finds including before and after iron cleanup:
edit: removed bad uploads

They feel *amazing* and I actually really like the feel of the heavier heads! I game Maltby DBMs but may switch to these after I regrip them, and instead send my Callaway XRs to Tampa. Still debating!

Didn’t watch the video…does he give you recommendations on how much weight to add?   I have always seen it as a trial and error kind of approach.
