  1. Ran into Mark O'Meara 7 or 8 years ago here in Utah. Went into Del Taco for lunch and there he was. At the time, don't know if current, he had a design firm up in a nearby golf community/course (Tuhaye?).
  2. I picked up a Bag Boy Quad XL a few years ago and used on older Sun Mountain C-130 bag. I was fortunate to be chosen this last year to test the Bag Boy Chiller bag. Works well with the cart, as it should, and locks in to place with a Bag Boy specific system. I think you main objective is to get bag and cart that work well together. As is mentioned above, some bags require a few in-round adjustments.
  3. 2021 is a work in progress for me. I had some back issues flare up in 2020 and will be curious to see how this year unfolds. I have not played or swung a golf club since October 2 and have only played a few times since June when the troubles arrived. I am contemplating switching to R graphite shafts and ease up on my swing to reduce the stress on my back.
  4. How was the transition to a lighter (assumed) graphite shaft?
  5. The PTx Pro is on my radar if I need to make the switch to graphite shafts due to health reasons. I currently play the Apex Edge Pro and love the irons. I could even reshaft the Edge Pros if need be. I figure the transition to the PTx would be seamless; the shaft transition is up in the air.
  6. Age (50 in a few days) and potential back issues flaring up may dictate that I switch to regular shafts as I reduce my swing speed and torque on my back. With the tech behind graphite shafts for irons now make them on par with steel as far as consistency, I may make the switch come spring. Currently winter here and not doing anything to aggravate my back precludes any indoor testing and fitting. If you have made the switch from steel to graphite and dropped a flex, what did you learn from the process? Did you try to match ball flight? How was the transition to get to a point of being comfortable with the switch and trusting your shot?
  7. I visit both and have been more active this last year on MGS over WRX. Each has their own place. A few places I frequented many years ago was Golfrewound and there was some kind of parting ways and Golfrewound Too (?) was formed. Don't believe either are active anymore.
  8. I have quite a few Greg Norman polos (too many if you ask my wife) and 1/4 zip pullovers and have been very pleased. I've picked these up over the years and Costco or Sam's and the quality is there. Most were less than $20.
  9. Tried the K-Sig last year and it was unremarkable to me. If you like it, great. Not knocking anybody who uses it. Just did not like the feel and that is how I usually judge a ball.
  10. $230 shipped CONUS each set. Would consider trade for a Scotty Cameron Studio Design 2.5 for one set. Apex II 2-E -Vector 3 shaft -E was reshafted with pulled Director E Vector 3 shaft -Newer Golf Pride CP2 standard grips -Headcovers historically used Redline 2-E - SOLD! -Apex 4 shaft
  11. Well then I have to ask about Willow Creek. That was our high school course. I am contemplating driving out to Iowa (and Minnesota) next year to play golf at my old stomping grounds. Will have to play Jester and Willow Creek.
  12. Picked up a Cameron Art of Putting Santa Fe for a great price but in need of restoration. Always liked this head style. I can send to Cameron for a new grip, shaft and band, and headcover for $290. This includes the face remilling. Really only needs topline work but would probably remill anyway. What are restoration services you have used? Guessing the headweight is in the 330 gram neighborhood and may loose a few grams with restoration but not an issue for me. I know other services are in the $100 plus without remilling and any other items - strictly a new finish on the metal. Flanigan Bilt Black Oxide Slighter others...
  13. Going to look at a local Art of Putting Santa Fe for sale. Finish appears to be gone. What are the counterfeit signs? Was there even a counterfeit market back when these were made? Sent from my SM-A205U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  14. I was seriously considering the Windy City or the Cleveland 1. Came across an Odyssey O works Black 1 last night. Nearly New and ended up buying that putter. Sent from my SM-A205U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  15. Is it me or has the hullabaloo with the Costco putter died down? Costco wedges are next. Sent from my SM-A205U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  16. Props for gaming a La Jolla. Just goes to show use what works. Sent from my SM-A205U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  17. I'd say never bet against the guy that shows up the three wood a 7-iron and a putter. Sent from my SM-A205U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  18. Just picked up an Odyssey O Works Black 1 last night. Excellent condition hardly been used. Stopped by my local Play It Again Sports. Had it for $95. Came with a generic Odyssey headcover. Headweight is 350 grams. I assume the red weights are either 10 or 15 grams? Sent from my SM-A205U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  19. Nice design. Now I need to check them out. Sent from my SM-A205U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
  20. I played Bandon Dunes several years ago while Old McDonald was under construction. We played Bandon Trails once, and Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes each twice. I turn 50 next year and talking to my wife about doing a golf trip (she does not golf) for my birthday. Yes, there is the history of Pebble Beach but I loved playing Bandon and playing Old McDonald needs to happen. I get a lot more bang for my buck at Bandon. I figure I can stay three nights at Bandon and four rounds of golf for $1700 (2021 rates in July). Pebble Beach is $2775 (2020 dollars) for two nights and two rounds of golf. After some medical issues I faced this year, money is tight and I will be paying bills for a few years so cost is a factor. I calculated without caddie fees which could approach $600 at Bandon and unknown at Pebble. Total with estimated airfare, caddie, and rental car is close to a $500 difference in favor of Bandon (and more w/caddie at PB) and play twice the rounds and one more night if I choose Bandon. If I choose Pebble Beach, what second course should I play? I'm not familiar with the others. Does Pebble use caddies? Cost?
  21. Lowest final 2 rounds ever for a PGA champion.
