  1. Lots but arrowtown in New Zealand may be number 1. Waimari is another great course in NZ. Can't forget Templeton in Christchurch and finally the rise in Vernon BC. So many great courses and so many more to explore. Scotland trip is up next.
  2. Found this interesting feature on fantrax showing everyone you've ever had on your team and the weeks they played for you... Not going to lie would love to see @blackngold_blood, but not sure it would fit on one page!
  3. I think a lot depends on the individual. For me I am looking at this year's line up and might grab one after a fit. I didn't love the lineup from last season for a few reasons. They worked well enough but nothing out did what I already had so now we will go back to then drawing board and see if anything can beat my current driver (g400). So far I have an idea of what I want to like however would be open to whatever works best.
  4. Exactly looking at potentially starting a new one up. Love our current format for year to year. Those who may want to play the long game we could start up a dynasty league.
  5. Best I can think of is we have 1 12 team league to start. If there is enough potential interest then we could have 2 seprerate leagues and a crossover super bowl? Here where I am it's very hard to find a good crew locally for dynasty... Hence seeing if there could be some here.
  6. I was similar and found I would actually use a 58 on full shots and rarely a 60. Out of curiosity did you give the ping gapping thread a view before you got those g410 clubs?
  7. Awesome WITB and welcome to the lefty club! Great set up and love the 50,54,58 combo. Personally find it so much more balanced then 56 60. Good luck with the new courses and hope this set up is able to follow through for you!
  8. Now I haven't tried them only seen them and tried the older models but I really like the new forged tec irons from cobra. Really want to go give them a hit, however the likelihood of a purchase would be slim with the i210 still bring phenomenal irons. Also hoping to see a new 760 come it soon.
  9. I've hinted at it before and finally now I'll take the time to start this up. As many of us if not all of us I have an excess of clubs, some I likely won't ever use, some I just can't bring myself to sell for nastalgic reasons and others I found a great deal and price and will look to flip later. I'm very fortunate to do a good bit of travelling so rather then bringing the main sticks and risk damage on airlines and travel I'm going forth and officially building a go with me back up bag. So far I have putter, wedges and irons all sorted. The rest will come together over the next few months Putter - Ping Sigma Tyne.... Was my favorite putter ever and still love it to bits, but the stroke lab simply is better. Thankfully it gets a second life here. Wedges - Cobra Trusty Rusty Black Tour 52,56,60. Not my typical set up but with the irons this should make a good fit. I've always loved these wedges and rather then sitting and collecting dust they will now really get a chance to be nice and rusty! Irons - Cobra Fly Z Pro. I had the amp cell pros before moving to a more suitable club. Almost immediately after selling them I missed them dearly. I had been in a lookout for a new set for a bargain and finally found a set in pretty good shape for all of $150 cad... Missing a pitching wedge and 4 iron but still can't wait to get back on a course with them. 4 iron - purchased a while back and never got a good enough run due to i210 testing but back comes to Cobra forged tec 2016! Hybrid - TBD Fairway - TBD Driver TBD More pictures to follow along with updates! Let's hear some of yours or is this something you would do?
  10. I actually owned the amp cell pro, but sold them and regretted it right away. I had the ping ie1 and played so much better with them but always missed the look, feel and style of them. Don't get me wrong my i210 are still the irons to beat for me, but I will be putting a back up bag together with these. The fly z pros simply put are a stellar looking iron and I hope the performance is there to back it up. I know they won't be long, but still. May do a what's in the back up bag thread
  11. A set of irons that I love. Cobra Fly z pro... So pretty and just such a nice iron. Honestly not sure how much they will be in play, but can't wait to hit them. Also for the price they were hard to not pick up.
  12. Wilson has such underrated equipment. Especially for their pricing... Awesome setup and great pictures.
  13. The blue was the best part! They also had some great shaft options for no upcharge as well. Thanks again for posting and will be fun to see how your bag evolves over time.
  14. Nice setup and get to see the photos Definitely felt the st180 were underrated performers.
  15. Can't speak to the driver shaft, but I have two ping crossovers with evenflow black shafts. Love them and find it as a great compliment for my swing as well as club. I have tried them in a rogue before as well but didn't get along with the rogue so can't say much there. Good idea going to get fit, definitely think it would be worth while with all the different stock shaft offerings and options in general.
  16. Very cool! Been happy to be a part of the forum for the last number of years and look forward to seeing what more happens in the years to follow! Congrats and onto year 11 where I'm sure there are more big things to come!
  17. Was using s300 before and they just felt so much smoother and my timing was way better. I had gone through a variety of different shafts in fittings and something about them just clicked. Worst was the xp95 for myself, but throughout their lineup they have a stellar product and across nearly all different heads it was consistently the shaft that fit me the best. Should also mention using most fitting devices (Callaway swing thing and the Mizuno one) it recommended the 120s, however ended up with 105s because I personally felt I didn't have to quite work as hard.
  18. Not so much a WITB update which will likely coming in the next month or so, but a little story and I didn't want to make a new thread so here goes. The last month and a bit I've been traveling for work in Europe and was fortunate to end up in Scotland for 11 days. What was originally going to be golf for ice maintenance (curling ice) work didn't pan out with the timing of the trips so as much as I wanted to I didn't figure I'd get a chance to. However by chance we had a full day off in the middle and the forecast looked good for February. The local crew I was working with went above and beyond and managed to scavenge up a left handed set (a LOT harder there then home) and booked me a tee time at the Gallway Golf course in Dumfries with another curling club member who had been a member there for 30 plus years and two of their of former captains. One who had been a member for nearly 50 years. The set was a Strata something... Basically big chunky cavity backs with small grips but stiff shafts so with no expectations, especially considering I hadn't golfed since September sometime. Part of the course was closed off due to wet conditions so we went around 9 holes twice and played off winter tees but the actual greens were in use and even with all the odds stacked against me I ended up with a great birdie on the first hole. Can't say long but pin straight drive with the noisiest drive I've ever used, solid wedge to 6 feet and a putt. Didn't keep complete track of the score as I was having way too much fun, the stories they had about some of the trees they planted in areas and the work that had been done along with a former captains being The Open championship winner way way back. Even after the round going in for drinks and hearing more stories was just incredible. The history, laughs and sheer enjoyment of being back on the golf course made for a incredible highlight on what was an amazing trip. In the end I love my clubs I have and the bag I've built, but put me on a course with a set of whatever and I'll be one of the happiest guys out there. Yes it was nice to play well and it's nice to have my own sticks, but when the company and course all combine and make for a day like that it's hard to beat.
  19. The layout isn't great but I have found it easy enough to navigate around see how the teams are doing. Overall it's been a lot of fun and it's nice to know how much one good week can mean in the big picture. Pretty sure I moved up 17spots and have new life.
  20. Nearly there after a stellar week by my team. Fingers crossed it continues on. It's incredible how much it helps having a full squad or several of your players in the field. Just increases chances so much more.
