Ok all these headcover pics and questions reminded me I have an issue, although a lame one.

Was given this Limited Edition Team Srixon Blackout headcover since I play Srixon irons and balls. Do I dare distrub the golf gods and put it on my Ping 10k driver while on the course? Stupid I know, but I'm the type that still believes you don't talk about a no hitter while it's happening. 

That thing is sick but I’m with you on the no-no rules, and I don’t think I could put a different brand HC on either. I really like the Bettinardi Decepticon mallet cover but couldn’t see putting on my phantom. Now I am waiting for the TMNT fairway HC to come to DSG or GG that thing is going on the 5 wood but that’s 3rd party lol.

That is a nice looking headcover! I think the Golf Gods will understand. If it protects your club and looks good in the bag I say go for it.

Is it one of those mysterious reversible ones by chance?

[ChiefMikeOfficer]

Turns out I'm a sucker for Limited Edition stuff... Did not need more of any of these items, but, added these to the collection anyway.

Those NB though!

So these arrived today. As a bit of a Star Wars geek I really like them, just not sure if the driver cover is a bit too busy

[Preeway]

Got one of my Rip It grips installed on my driver. 

Really like the feel and the graphics are sweet!

[Syks7]

I keep seeing these headcovers that say things like 'remove before flight', 'hit bombs', or 'send it'.   Things that are very different from how I feel when I take the headcover off of my driver -- even as I find more fairways.  IMHO there should be more  headcovers that have a bit more humor and are a little more accurate.  Something along the lines of:  'this driver is like a box of chocolate' or 'Gambler'.   I even searched for some to no avail until a targeted ad reached me today.   I could not help but buy it.

Theyre based in New Zealand but shipped to me in UK at no extra cost. They have some great SW stuff on their site. Well worth a look

No problem. Let me know what you think as some of their head covers are out of this world

[ILMgolfnut]

Got a little shipment today from a wee golf course in Scotland. Ordered Monday, arrived Friday -- with free shipping! I can't get stuff from Raleigh in four days sometimes...

From left to right, a bag tag with a 3D depiction of the Swilcan Bridge, an Old Course yardage book (they gave me one when I played but I lost it), and an Old Course ball marker. Total outlay $29; the shipping alone could have been $29.

And the last time I saw that bridge.

Got in on the TRUE Member’s Only package with the slides. Came with some cool Masters themed swag: shoe bag, towel, headcover, valuables bag, and swappable azalea tongues. 

Didn’t do a good job getting pics so here’s a link:

@Northern Monkey those are sweet!!!

Don't worry about the busy-ness of the driver cover!

And thinking along @Syks7 humor base, one that says "help me Obi-Wan,  you're my only hope" would be epic as a cover!

Those look good!!

I just found out about this putter company out of Wisconsin called Meridian.  https://meridianputters.com/  After reading about them (and being a sucker for putters) I ordered the Tybee Face Balanced in 33". Now's the hard part...Waiting.

I play Vice Pro Tour golf balls and recently found a Vice Pro Ice Blue ball.  They were limited edition I believe as they no longer have them in stock.  I ordered a dozen "mint" condition balls from Lost Golfballs and am looking forward to playing them for a while.  Hopefully they will stand out and I won't lose them as they are very shiny.

Have you looked into golfballnut too?

Those are crazy cool looking! I'd have a very hard time tracking/finding them!

These are my Vice found collection. 

The 2 on the bottom right are what I call Specials

Well after two failed attempts tp purchase a Lag Shot 7i, another member messaged me and offered up his .. so now I do actually have one!

I'd originally thought these were just one more heavily advertised training aid gimmick also promoted by pros on Insta to boost their income.

Well... after a few swipes with it that attitude has changed and I do believe - over time .. a whole lotta time - this is gonna help me with my iron striking.

I am sure with practice, and not as long as you may think, you will see the benefits it provides.   

Also, you can use it as a "warm-up" club before a round to both loosen up and keep your tempo "in-check."

I’m looking at the 32° discount deal. Has anyone bought the shorts? 9” inseam sounds a bit long for a 5’7” person like me. The models in the pictures are 6’2” so it’s hard to get a feel for how they will fit my stature. Curious if anyone has tried them out before.

i've been tempted by the wedge numerous times to see if it could help me with my short game.  Hope it works out for you.

I have two pairs of the shorts. I'm kinda between waist sizes so they slide down my butt a bit, but they do fine lengthwise (I'm 5-8). Wore them at Pinehurst this week in fact.

Would you say above the knee, at the knee or below the knee?

[Rob Person]

9" will just cover your top of the knees. Or just slightly below the middle.of them depending on your waist.

I'm 5 7 as well 

These are 9" shorts.

The Lagshot is an interesting club and I'm glad you were able to procure one, Chuck. Hopefully you'll see some positive results with it!
