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

In early June, I played the Member-Guest tournament at Diamante Country Club with my friend (I was the guest).  One of the tee prizes was a gift certificate for Mizuno (that had to be used during the tournament with the rep in attendance).  I wasn't in need of anything he had available, so I opted to buy 5 dozen of their golf balls to be drop shipped to my home in Oregon.  No word on delivery for months.  Emails to the club were only returned stating that they're waiting on word from Mizuno.  In December and I moved and became a member of Diamante.  Chatted with the assistant pro who I had actually emailed regarding the balls and he showed me the list from the Mizuno orders from the tournament and my name still showing an "on order" status.  Obviously informed him of my change of address.

Fast forward to yesterday.  I'm on the practice green working on my wedges and the head pro walks out to me with a bag of 5 dozen golf balls.  We joked about them being hand made.  8 months?  Talk about supply issues 😄 

Rain not with-standing, I'll be trying out Mizuno RB Tour X golf balls today.

Well at least you got them.  

There was a guy on here last year, maybe even the year before, I can'tg recall his name.  But he kept posting about Callaway balls he ordered online somewhere never coming in.  That's all the guy ever posted about and no matter what anyone said, he would rant and rave about it.   

I haven't seen him post in quite a while, so I can only assume the balls finally showed up 🙂

Tour Edge Exotics 4 and 5 hybrid... used them for 9 holes trying to ignore the fact that I have a rib injury... 4/4 hitting greens with them... haven't picked up a club since (8 days).  Pretty soon, my whole bag will be woods and hybrids ( and a sand wedge). haha. Thanks to MGS Most Wanted for pointing me toward these babies.

Tequila only works short time (until morning).

Did you happen to play ZipCores before that? 

No, first time playing them. I was using CBX 2 previously.
 

Just practiced with them today. I’m not a great wedge player. But I was hitting these out of rough on the practice chipping green and checking them, consistently. My mind is blown.

My fitter just built me MD5 Jaws wedges with Steelfiber 110s to protect my aging delicate right elbow. I had two clubs in the bag with steel shafts that have now been replaced. Getting old sucks and when your ortho says I am not not sure how your right elbow has not exploded you do what you need to do to keep playing. My hope is to just keep avoiding the inevitable reconstruction.

i have a new year's resolution. its to not buy random clubs without either trying them first or getting fitted for them first (putters are an exception. sometimes i buy putters just to have because i like them and may not even game them).

my bag is different than my sig though 😂. i should update that.

Another cbx 2 --50º 10.     Can't beat the price for a brand new wedge since they released the cbx zipcores.  Also, now I have some options when I tinker with the lofts of my current irons & the irons I'm building.

I shouldn't be allowed unsupervised computer access with a credit card!!  Just casually browsing the online golf stores; but I do need a new pair of golf shoes.  Found a pair of Skechers Elite Tour SL AND a pair of ECCO Street Retro LX shoes for under $100 each.  

I made up for it by buying my wife a new Pure Putter grip.  😂  BUT, I bought a couple of KBS MAX shafts for a project.

Bought this bad boy slightly used yesterday. Tried the one @Mtbryant01 got from his Cobra testing a couple times and loved it, so I found one slightly used and snagged it.

Well turns out he didn’t have the 8* so either back to the drawing board or take this as a sign I don’t need it 🤔
