I agree.  Most of the polos I see advertised online are $100 or more.  A friend of mine bought a Callaway polo for $40 on sale at TJ Max last and felt it was a good deal.  I have yet to pay over $30 for one not on sale.  I didn't know until tonight about Ben Hogan apparel when I stumbled across the section at Wal-Mart.  Which brings me to my next point, I stocked up on Hogan shorts for $16.97 a pair which beats the heck out of the $60 and $70 shorts I've seen at Kohl's.  

Bought a Sun Mountain Teton cart bag this afternoon.  I've been wanting a cart bag since I'm only a rider in the hotter months and may move into walking with a push cart in the early Spring rounds in the future.

Me too.  Stuff like that makes me consider moving back to KY.

WR Double Oaked is my current favorite.  Wish it weren't so dang expensive here!!

In honor of World Whiskey Day, I had some Buffalo Trace with dinner.  Before bed I'll cap off the day with a splash of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked.

I had to teach myself how to edit putts on Arcoss to show this one, but I made one of my better putts ever yesterday.  One of my longest and the highlight of my round.  All of my putts were good yesterday, but this was by far the best.  My distance control is absolutely spot on with my putter, but I don't always read the break correctly.

... Being old school I actually prefer the shiny chrome. And the badge serves a purpose so I rally don't care how it looks. Like many others I love a very clean look on an iron but I would compare it to my underwear. As much as I love a certain look and style I don't see them so comfort is my main concern and I would wear purple Barney panties if they were the most comfortable. 🤪  If my irons look great at address and perform for me, that is my only concern. A clean cavity is just icing on the cake but so very rare in 2021. 

I purchased a GAPR Mid last year as well.  Mine is also a Global Golf pick up and was rated at Certified Pre-Owned, but looked like it had never been hit.  Same loft, but with a KBS Hybrid graphite shaft and stiff flex.  I assume mine is the stock shaft since the KBS band is the same off green as the GAPR color.  
All that aside, you are absolutely right about this club.  It's definitely a great tool for tight fairways off the tee and gives that extra confidence that a driving iron would not.  I'm not very good from the fairway with mine, but that's likely a mental hang up or a mechanical flaw.  There is some great potential for shot shaping as well.  I had to draw a tee shot around trees once last year after the course I normally play moved the white tees about 10 yards to tbe left of the other tees.  
The one thing I read repeatedly is that the GAPR is harsh on bad contact and that's absolutely true.  The Speed Foam makes for a wonderful feeling sweet spot, but it does not hide poor contact.

Amidst an ugly first round of the year, I managed to step on the gas on the 8th tee at Greystone this morning and I managed to stripe one through the gap in the trees and end up in the middle of the fairway.  Granted I was back to my usual self right afterwards on the same hole, but I was still smiling.  Arcoss doesn't do this justice because right at the hard left in the fairway, the hole climbs up the hillside to the green.

Thanks for sharing that there are a couple more priest out there. I played baseball and football for years, but needed to upgrade to sports where I won’t blow out my knees and can join my parishioners outside. So, golf and tennis have been the new hobbies of the pandemic.

Hey y’all, I just picked up golfing during the pandemic this past November, 2020 and have been having a great time. I’ve trying to get the handicap down, and it’s hovering around a +10 currently. I’ve enjoyed getting outdoors, honing the craft of a new sport, and it’s been something fun to do since we’ve just moved to town this past Summer. 
I’ve really enjoyed the MyGolfSpy articles and reviews, and have been a bit of a review junkie as I’ve been building my bag. I enjoy the tech and science that goes into each club, ball, and even apparel. Thought I might join the forums!
Home Course is Country Club of Jackson, Jackson, MS. Home of the Sanderson Farm Classic!
I’m a parish priest in the diocese, whose found golf to be a great point of connection to many.
Looking forward to meeting more Spies out there!

I swapped from the Q Star Tour to the Z Star at the end of last year.  It made a significant difference around the green, on approach shots, and short par 3s.  For once I don't have the urge to try a different ball.  

Interesting organizer design.  I have always preferred individual slots like my current Sun Mountain. For me it's an easy "at a glance" check to see if a club is missing.  Plus, my clubs always go into a specific slot - yea, I'm OCD 😆.  My new concern/consideration is (will be) shaft bag rash as I'm hoping to move into a composite shaft soon.  I've heard this can be a real problem and again, my clean and orderly DNA will trigger.  My SM bag has fairly soft, padded nylon at the contact areas, but I wonder if those will be gentle enough? 

I'm probably a little too excited for this, but OGIO is finallllly making a new bag with the Woode top.  It's my preferred top configuration since the putter and woods get separate spaces, and the irons don't clank around as much as a 14 way.  Full disclosure, the first bag I purchased for myself was because of the Woode top, and I had purchased another one as well.  I've used a 14-way NIKE hybrid, and more recently, a few 4 way top bags (Callaway HL3, Ogio Fuse, and Cobra Speedzone Stand).
Not sure I love the fully molded look of the top, but I'll have to wait until I can see it in person.  I feel like this would be a great option as I will be using my pushcart most of the time.  I'll probably be getting this or the sun mountain sync... hopefully after getting a chance to see both in person.  But either way, I'm happy to see OGIO returning to what made them one of the best (IMHO) back before Callaway purchased them.
