You're not wrong! But, I've cleared out some things from my basement club stash (no more Maltby PTMs...), and I also capitalized on the sports trading card market being hot right now. Nabbed a ~$600 profit a few weeks back on some cards I've been hanging on to for several years.

The Skytrak fund is alive and well. 😂

I've got some cards that are worth some good money but i am scared to send them in for grading. I felt actual physical discomfort thinking about sending in the cards.

Like new super hybrid came in. Thank you CPO. Will see how this works for me. Went stiff shaft since my fitter told me these shafts run stiff to flex and my irons are kbs S and driver XS so went happy medium. Head feels heavy on this club. Can’t wait to take it out Saturday

Much like other hobbies due to COVID, the trading card market is hot! I had some decent stuff of LeBron and MJ sitting around in boxes in the basement so I capitalized while I could. 

I haven't been an active collector in like 15 years, but there was a good stretch of time where I spent a lot of time and money trading online in the earlier days of the web...

OGIO Woodē arrived today!

the top is so much more to my liking than usual 4/5 way or 14 way tops. I wish the pockets had a few different features, but not a lot of bags have those. Only weird part is the lined valuables pocket is one of the “snap” pockets and doesn’t zip shut, so it’s not waterproof. I can see that velour lining getting soaked pretty fast in some rain.

That bag looks really good, I love the color combo! Looks like it'll fit really well into your push cart, too. I wasn't sure how I'd like the organization of the clubs, but it just looks right in that bag. I'm happy to see it finally made it to you.

It does fit very well. The rectangular shape of the top works well.

If I do keep it I’ll take one strap off since I’ll only be carrying it from the house to the car. If I don’t keep it it will be because of that valuables pocket. Just sort of a strange idea I didn’t notice before.

Yeah, not having a way to keep your valuables dry is kind of a big deal and something I would have thought would be standard. I do like the look of the straps, from the pictures in the Woode thread, they look like they're comfortable.

That is "weird" to say the least.  What the heck are the designers thinking when they add that feature?  Or in this case NOT thinking.  Do they even play?

I wonder that a lot with products lately. But yeah they really promote the return of the quick access pockets, just seems really silly and not well thought through for the valuables pocket.

The top does seem to be a solid improvement over the last run of the OG Woode top.

Just curious, is that the only lined/valuables pocket, or are there multiples? My current bag has two lined pockets - one zipped and the other using magnets and specifically designed for a rangefinder (easy access but also protective). My rangefinder has definitely gotten wet with this design, but in fair weather it's a nice feature. 

I like the top design - I switched back to a 14-way last year, and have my complaints with it, but prefer it to the 4-5 way dividers that I've used. This one looks like a good balance between those styles.

Wedges:  :vokey-small: SM9 46.10, 54.12, and 58.08, all with custom etchings & KBS Tour Masters-themed shafts, X-flex (CHA Post)

Putter: Total headcase and Putter Ho. Down to two main options in the rotation (one mallet, one blade), but have 4-5 by the basement putting green that might make it in the bag at some point this year...

It is the only lined pocket.  There is a rangefinder one, but its not lined.  The top design is great.  I've already gone over and pulled multiple clubs in and out to see if I get any binding grabbing and so far nothing.

... These Aguila greens have been driving me crazy. First off the Bermuda grain is tough to read. Then the course designer is a masochist that has a TON of visual misdirections. A perfect example is #9 that is sitting beside a lake and as always the ball breaks to the water with the high point on the other side of the green ... or is it? The 2 drains in dips beside the high side are certainly a tell tale clue because the ball breaks away from the water. Standing in the fairway a good 30 yds away you can see the subtle tilt away from the water but standing on the green it looks and feels like the bay will break to the water. He is one twisted dude. Many of the greens are similar with visual clues that are completely misleading. I have over 100 rounds on this course and I am still learning some of the breaks. When they are cut/rolled and fast they are easier to read but when mid speed or worse running slow the grain with the sun in the late afternoon make them more difficult to calculate. I have never missed so many birdie putts as I have on this course. 

... So my normal feel putting has been letting me down and I have had to add an element of technical putting where I have to ignore my eyes and decided a new mallet putter would help. I was expecting to spend $300-400 on a putter demoing everything from PXG to Taylor Made and everything in between. One putter stood out from the pack because it flowed straight back on line while others tended to waiver. I was shocked to find the Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft 11s Premier putter was only $149 but was not a fan of the black shaft or dull grey finish. The regular 11s has a typical stainless finish that was much more appealing to my eye and it was only $129!?!? I had to order it because none were in stock but it arrived last week and it has been exactly what I was looking for. It certainly pays to have an open mind in more ways than one.

one of my "wish I never sold it" stories is for the original HB #11. I loved that putter so much! I'm gaming the premier #4 now and REALLY like it. I'm still not sure I like it better than the #11 model though. The updated SOFT models seem all that much better than the originals. Such a great feeling and performing putter. Not even just for the $. The day I picked up the #4, I had my sights set on a $350 Toulon blade. Rolled them all and the feel and performance were no different. At that point, saving $200 was the difference in the decision.

... Yup "wish I never sold it" sucks. Money was not a consideration when I went shopping. I took 2 days to make sure the putter (or me) still rolled the ball the same the next day. I forgot to add the Cleveland was also the best feeling putter I tested. I kinda had my heart set on the Taylor Made Ardmore that looks very similar with a tech face, but it was very hard feeling and I just didn't like it at all. I usually add weight to the sole (more on the toe) to get the balance perfect so my putter head swings back and through on line with no manipulation, but the 11S did it stock with no weight added. And like you the Cleveland performed best regardless of price so that was just a very nice bonus.

... These Aguila greens have been driving me crazy. First off the Bermuda grain is tough to read. Then the course designer is a masochist that has a TON of visual misdirections. A perfect example is #9 that is sitting beside a lake and as always the ball breaks to the water with the high point on the other side of the green ... or is it? The 2 drains in dips beside the high side are certainly a tell tale clue because the ball breaks away from the water. Standing in the fairway a good 30 yds away you can see the subtle tilt away from the water but standing on the green it looks and feels like the ball will break to the water. He is one twisted dude. Many of the greens are similar with visual clues that are completely misleading. I have over 100 rounds on this course and I am still learning some of the breaks. When they are cut/rolled and fast they are easier to read but when mid speed or worse running slow the grain with the sun in the late afternoon make them more difficult to calculate. I have never missed so many birdie putts as I have on this course. 

... So my normal feel putting has been letting me down and I have had to add an element of technical putting where I have to ignore my eyes and decided a new mallet putter would help. I was expecting to spend $300-400 on a putter demoing everything from PXG to Taylor Made and everything in between. One putter stood out from the pack because it flowed straight back on line while others tended to waiver. I was shocked to find the Cleveland Huntington Beach Soft 11s Premier putter was only $149 but I was not a fan of the black shaft or dull grey finish. The regular 11s has a typical stainless finish that was much more appealing to my eye and it was only $129!?!? I had to order it because none were in stock but it arrived last week and it has been exactly what I was looking for. It certainly pays to have an open mind in more ways than one.

Picked this one too and have really enjoyed the feel. I came at it from the variable groves but not wanting to spend to much but it has felt really stable and balanced for me. Hope it works for you too.

I just got a velcro bag tag for hanging your glove on. It was actually worth it because my BagBoy bag only has a really small strip that I use for my putter cover. Now I can stick my glove and putter cover on my bag when I am ready to putt.

So weird. I have some bonus money burning a hole in my pocket. But when I started thinking about what new shiny toys I want I can't think of anything. My bag is practically new top to bottom. And the items that are not new I don't want to replace yet. Besides, I am usually the guy who procrastinates on a purchase and then I pull the trigger about a week before the next model is announced. So I don't want to do that again.

I was able to find the two TS2 hybrids I tried to buy last week. I also took a flyer on a TS2 16.5* 4 wood. To be honest, I never knew anyone made LEFTHAND 4 woods since the Ping G25 line. Apparently Titleist does.

Its weird, I went for years without one of their clubs in my bag, and now I’ll have 6! By the same token, this time last year I had 13 Callaway clubs and a Ping driver.This year I won’t have any, assuming the 4 wood beats out my beloved Rogue 15* (which is a long shot). 

If the Cobra RAD XB beats my G400Max (I’m confident it will) I won’t even recognize my own bag at the bag drop. LOL

Not golf but I just ordered these Tifosi sunnies. Same polarized lenses but matte black frames. I'll probably get another pair with the Enliven golf lenses.

You will be styling’ come March, with the sunnies and your straw hat.
