What have you bought lately? (CHA - Club Ho's Anonymous)

[PeterHenric 294]

3 separate fitting appointments, 3 purchases, one is custom order. Stealth 10.5º Driver with Ventus Red stiff shaft. Stealth 15º fairway with Ventus Red stiff shaft. On the way: Stealth irons 4-G with Ventus blue stiff shaft. Can't wait!

A pair of New Balance Breeze spikeless shoes.

I've had trouble finding a truly comfortable pair of golf shoes - probably because I don't try stuff on and just order when I see something good on sale - but waaaay back when I used to jog I liked NB shoes.

Wore them around the house this morning ... the fit feels right and they do seem very comfortable! Will get to test them out in the next few days.

Just got a $150 gift card to a course I frequent from my parents for my upcoming birthday . Now the question is, do I use it for golf or something new from the pro shop.

Since you now have $150 you don’t have to spend out of your pocket you can use that saved money on either golf or something new from the pro shop

What golf club have you been eyeing up and haven't pulled the trigger on? OR  With the wonderful weather we have been having, new rain gear isn't a bad option. 

What course do you frequent?

Of lately Forest Hills(and the course my dad rode along with me when they visited, hence the gift card). I usually like to play different courses but this one the easiest to get on for an early morning nine, never a frost delay and great greens. 

the top of my bag is on the fence. Currently super hybrid at 16* and sub70 3h at 18*. Been eyeing UWs or fairway woods or even DIs. The head pro there is a Srixon guy. 
 

I already have pretty good rain gear I got last year. Maybe could use a second pair of shoes. 

[JFish350 651]

I like forest Hills, although I haven't been there in while. 

I have the Sub70 3 HY and love it and currently testing the Sub70 4 wood. After a few adjustments its awesome. 

Can never go wrong with a good pair dry shoes in our area. Sucks playing with wet feet.

Yes it does. I learned, gaiters are your friend for keeping feet dry

 

We really need to meet up sometime

I used gaiters when I was a young person and could still ski.  I haven't looked at them for golf, is there a type that go over the shoes and leg or are they like the ones we used for skiing? I'll have to look them up.

 

yes we do need to meet up. Sometime this summer later June or July.

The Bushnell has died.   I decided to try something cheaper this go round as $500+ dollars has gotten old every 3 years.  That is how long my last 2 Bushnell's lasted. 

Precision Pro NX9 Slope Golf Rangefinder with Slope from Amazon for $242 total cost including tax.  They are on sale at the website for $249 but I checked Amazon and they were $239 and then I noticed an 11% off coupon bringing the cost down to $227.  Here's the link if you are interested   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PP9Y76B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

 

It just arrived, 2 day Prime shipping is the way to go.  First impression is it is impressive for the $$.  If it last 3 years like the 2 Bushnell rangefinders I am over 50% ahead on money plus I get a 30% discount for trade in with Precision Pro for whatever I purchase then.  I think I am going to be happy with this purchase.

I think, may be wrong, but that may the company that offers free battery replacement - for as long as you own it.

I have been looking at lighter weight shafts lately and obviously have taken a peak at this one. Would love to hear how it plays

First round this morning with the Ventus TR. It was only 48* and I couldn’t really get loose but I only hit one shot with the TR/Single Diamond Mav left. Every other shot was a fade/push fade.  It took about 10 holes to get comfortable enough to aim at the left side of the fairway. Distance was still close to what I normally see so I have big expectations for when it warms up.

I thought I’d try OnCore Elixr balls. They are donating $5 from each dozen Flag Special Edition Logo Balls to the PGA Hope program to assist veterans.

I caved, ordered a Rogue ST MAX LS in the same specs that I last got fit for (Epic Flash forum test). I'm barely playing any golf since my son was born, but the 50% bonus trade in was too good to pass up. Happy early first father's day to me!

I received these yesterday and hit the range with them today. They will get their first real test tomorrow morning.

 

I am jealous…….must know how they play.

[chisag 18,555]

... I picked up a new 9* Cobra LTDx and installed my Tensei Blue but it launched too low for my swing. Loved the feel/sound so I picked up a used 10.5* Limited Edition Black LTDx and the results are much better. I just don't swing fast enough to play a 9* LTDx so I put it in the Classifieds at $100 off the $499 price and it was only played 7 holes so it obviously still looks new (sold). Not sure about the LinQ White in the LTD Edition as I have only played one round with it, but I have a '22 Tensei Blue and GD AD-MT to install if the LinQ White doesn't work out.

Congrats on the TMs, but the Rokform mount looks pretty cool, too.
