What Have You Bought Lately? (CHA - Club Ho's Anonymous)

[MattF]

The price was right and I've been wanting to get a pair, so I ordered Puma ProAdapt Alphacat Disc last night. When the black are back in stock, I'll get those as well.

Veteran friend gifted me a Callaway gift card he received, for help to the PGA HOPE program last year and used it to buy a 68" umbrella, 3 bag towels [to give away], wet weather and cold weather gloves.  Callaway gives a 15% discount to anyone with military service at checkout using the ID.me database and that goes a long way toward passing along the benefits to those who deserve recognition for their good deeds and efforts.

 

OK title is Club hos...  I blame @MattF lol

My wife bought me a shot scope V3 for Christmas. I'm pretty excited to get out on the course and use it. I think for my needs it will be much better than when I have used Arccos in the past

 I have one and you will be pleasantly surprised at the distance you can get with this club.  Love mine! 

Thanks! It just showed up at my front door! Should be able to start swinging it in the "mancave" with the GC2 launch monitor this weekend

I’ve kinda gotten into the TruFeel  golf ball.  My neighbor is a ball hawk.  He goes out evenings and goes to the 4 golf courses near us and collects 80-90 at a clip.  He gave me a dozen TruFeels and I like them a lot.  He’s saving them for me.

Do you like the new version better than the old version?  If so, what's different?

Martha has been playing the yellow 2020 version for the past two years and likes them.  I bought her 2 dozen of the 2022 in yellow for her birthday, but she hasn't played them yet.  Wonder if she'll notice a difference.

I had new driver fever and planned on getting a new one since they've dropped the price on older models. On Thursday one of my buddies got a new driver so, on a lark; I played his old Callaway Epic Flash. It performed so well I bought after the round for $100. Hopefully, it continues to perform. It was nice being able to play a full round with the club versus hitting a few shots into an indoor bay.

Very fortunate to have a golf loving/me loving and understanding wife. She got me a PuttOut Premium Pressure Trainer, the WellPutt 10' Mat, Mileseey Range Finder, PuttOut Premium Gates, and a new HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft with MCC grip for my driver! 

[JerryB]

Couldn't be more thrilled about how Christmas turned out.  Got a golf shirt and a couple of gift cards plus a putting mat and driving mat in addition to the balls and shoes:

I think the compression is a bit softer and the new mix is supposed to give more distance. Still have 3 or 4 of the 2020’s so I have not yet put the 22’s in play.

Is there an easy way to tell the new version from previous?

I purchased a SkyTrak just over a year ago, and just bought the e6 Connect Software.

 

Aside from the following video, does anyone have any information regarding the e6 Graphics update coming in 2023?  Timing?  How to get involved in the Public Beta?

Any info much appreciated!

I am considering this a golf related purchase because I am taking my clubs wherever our towing adventures go! Be pretty cool as the kids get older to and we get to several different states to be able to hit a ton of different courses when "glamping"

[TylorJudd]

We bought and converted a 1985 Chevy G20 van for camping and golf trips. So worth it, golf trips are awesome and I bet you have more clustered golf courses in the states versus Canada. Nice trailer!

My wife and I want to get up to BC at point. After we go back to Niagra...this time camping!

Plan is to hit a long trip every year in conjunction with our normal east coast summer trips and cape cod which is about an hour and has several camping sites right on the water.

That's awesome, Mark! Ain't no shame camping in style and it beats sleeping on air mattresses in tents. The body just doesn't take too kindly to that anymore.

My parents and my brothers and sister did it forever. My parents bought one a few years back and a few other family members have had one for years. We camped for a bit but we want to expand out to other areas outside of where we normally go (Maine). We are super pumped to plan trips off the east coast.

There are some great courses here, summer in BC is gorgeous and you won't be disappointed. Everything here is expensive but I think your dollar should make up the difference. Campsites everywhere. Most major golf courses are very close to campsites, provincial or private. You have to book your campsites here really early in the year, I believe there is a day in March when they open up. Awesome courses and camping out in the Kootenays, near invermere. Also great ones in the Shuswap. And then the Okanagan Valley has over a dozen great courses, and it s nice and hot here with lakes galore!

Second all of this. But your drive from Niagra to BC won't be a short one! Trust me I've done it...

Would Definitly be separate trips. Our cruise to Niagara from here is about 14 hours. I have mapped out the route to Banff springs. Have traveled most of that route see real times before and once you get through Ohio it’s month sailing. 
can’t wait fun times planning ahead. This year will be Disney and Maine for now. See if we can add something else in big.

That's taking your time! We (I as my wife didn't drive) did Halifax to Vernon in 3 days.
