I'm German/Irish, you do the math .  

I'm half German Irish myself, I'm surprised you allowed yourself to spend the money on the whip....

True dat.  I'd been looking at getting one for awhile but never wanted to pay full retail.  I picked one up for $84 including shipping and tax, so that helps take a little sting out of it .

They are certainly great for old guys, like me for stretching you out.

Minor purchase I suppose but I'm tired of spitting on my wedges.  Used the MGS link to buy this..

I was 12 miles from a Golf Galaxy after finishing 9 holes, so you know the rest.

Found an XR driver with fujikura pro green 66, $65 after I used my reward $10 off from scorecard points.

Put a MCC green/blue grip on it to tie the color of the shaft in with the red/white/blue XR head. 

I think it came out awesome.

Used this 18 holes today. 9/14 FW hit, hit some draws as opposed to my stock fade. 2 of those cost me on the card, as I was aligned left to account for a fade that didn't happen. That said, I really hit this thing well. Had a 338y drive that jumped off a cart path onto a par 4 green. To prove that wasn't a fluke, I tattooed my drive on #18 into a crosswind 280y+ and ran out of fairway.

Finally found a new, full length Orange Whip on eBay, won the bid, and it's in route scheduled to arrive next Wednesday.  This should correct all my faults .

Orange suggests L flex... should work well if your compliant?

Bought a box of Chromesoft XLS the other day to test drive today.

Bought a dzn in ‘22 and I really got along with them really well. Somewhat feel that they’re criminally underrated. 

[ndsuperior]

I think that the the chromesoft xls are great as well. Not much mention of them, but they are solid, and are one of my go to balls.

Very nice - those XRs .. 2015 I think? .. def had some pop off the face! Still have an XR 4H that's still one of my faves out of all the hybrids I've tried over the years...

[cksurfdude]

Official Fan Boy tee off the online store...

Based on some feedback, ordered one size up in case it comes in a little snug (around the chest and shoulders, believe it or not .. belly area still somewhat under control (for now ) )

Pulled the trigger on a Sim2 Max 3HL.  A little early birthday present to myself.

I haven't purchased one yet, but I am on the hunt for a C-130 stand bag, BUT..... it MUST be the sand camo.... I am obsessed with the way that pattern looks on a golf bag. 

Either the C-130 cart or stand bag, Ping Hoofer or Traverse, or even the Bridgestone Tour B stand bag.

I can't find the C-130 for anything under $500, and I am one cheap S.O,B, so the hunt continues.. for now!

Don’t think the camo c130 is being sold in 2023.  Can’t see any at my local golfgal online anyway.  I’ll poke around the floor next time I’m there see if they got any around

Thanks. Amazon has one for $500 that I am so tempted to pull the trigger on, but I just keep thinking how much golf that would pay for... I'm keeping my eyes peeled

Yeah it works out to $501 CAD if I order it... Did I mention I'm a cheap S.O.B?

Well, being in Canada is new information.  Don't think you are going to find it much cheaper.  Even the 2022 model is not much cheaper. 

It's also available direct from Sun Mountain for the same price.

I've hit up the demo bin for some very gently used clubs each of the last two years. I have one round in with my new 52 degree Ping Glide 4.0 and Callaway Apex 4h. The Apex was probably the star of my round until I pushed one into the water off the tee on a hole I probably should've been hitting driver anyway.

Just recently coming back from sickness and was looking for a new tool to pump low bullets off the tee. Ended up getting a used Titleist Tmb 716 2 iron in really good shape. Took her out for a test run at the local range and the results are looking promising. Dont get me wrong still hit the flary slice but it was a bullet at chest height .

Have had one in the bag since 2016 and haven’t been able to take it out!

[Clemo]

@Jmuellerm57 That's giving me some hope then! The couple that I flushed felt unreal so pure!

[shailey]

Well, one I was forced to change and the other I just preferred the feel of the new driver.

My TSi2 3 wood cracked hitting a tee shot on 17. Replaced it with another TSi2 but with 16.5⁰ of loft. Absolutely love the flight and spin. Yes. I tried the TSr fairways and they just dont spin the ball enough. I hit them WAY too far. 

I had switched to the TSr2 driver from the TSi3. That club has a left side bias tendency and hitting a fade was really a struggle. So after about 10 rounds, I bought a TSr3. With the exact same shaft taken from one and put in the other, my ball flight has returned back to the baby fade.

Just bought the Ping g425 crossover 4 iron, have the 3 already and like it so figured this will be might 14 th club … not sure how useful it will be in full summer but I have been missing it currently.

Now my bag plus mix is fixed … I shall concentrate my budget on the future iron purchase

I saw something online about these handy little groove cleaners that you keep in your pocket so I found a 4 pack on amazon and am trying them out.

I use a brand called DBrush. I randomly met the former owners of the company one day and they gave me one to try. I loved having something so small I didn't even know it was in my pocket. I bought three packs of them a week later and still have most of them as I've given a couple away. Little pocket brushes are probably my favorite accessory because I feel lost if I forget mine.

This years' upgrades:  TSR1 10 degree driver fitted with previous generation Ascent shaft---7-10 yards longer than older PXG 0211 and First Gen TS1 10.5.

                                        TSR1 15 degree 3 wood set to 15.75 with Sure Fit--7-10 yards longer than Ping G410 16.5 degree fairway.

                                        Taylormade Spider GTMax slant neck  cut down to 33 " replacing original Spider Tour --benefit of adjustable weights yet to be seen !!  Thus far, no difference.

I bought this outdoor golf net last week. It's very sturdy and seems well made. I recomend it to anyone looking for practice in theor back yard.
