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


Recommended Posts

Posted

My wife hates it, but I've been on the hunt for new golfing hat, and have just been swing and missing for months. Tried the Melin, liked the material, didn't like the fit (Odyssey), tried on a bunch at Golf Galaxy and just could find one that I liked the material and the fit. Finally ordered a couple of Branded Bills hats and I think I finally found my golf hat. My wife rejoiced lolol.

In other news! Have been slowly selling off old clubs to fund a fitting and a full new bag at the end of the season. Doing pretty well so far selling on FB Marketplace. Almost have everything sold to afford the fitting and set of irons, then sell the old irons to fund the driver, rinse and repeat for the rest of the bag. Figure as I'm piecing everything together over time, I'll get Irons->Driver->Hybrid->Wedges->Wood->Bag

Really nice to see when vets, and especially wounded vets, get recognition 👍 ..and a fun golf outing with awesome prizes 👍👍

Sorry to say I'd stopped donating to WWP after reading about a big scandal a while back .. though I do donate to other vets charities .. and will have to take another look at WWP. Glad you had a great time at their event!

 

Thank you and it wasn’t the Wounded Warrior Project. This was a different organization. It’s the Texas Wounded Warrior Foundation. Totally different organization and they even have a disclaimer on their website. I decided to put up a link to the site for those interested:

I picked up a new pair of Puma Ignite Boas back in February and wore them during the Kingsmill outing. I went to wear them last Sunday and noticed the Puma emblem in the middle of the boa tightening system was missing on one shoe.

IMG_0883.jpeg.3c22aaa9c7e99779bff0dffa822a0e0e.jpeg

I sent Puma Golf an email and asked for a replacement emblem. Gave them a copy of the purchase confirmation. They do have a 1 year warranty. Not even 10 minutes later I got an email that a replacement pair of shoes was shipping. They didn’t even blink an eye. I just wanted the emblem.

Serious customer service. 


So I just removed the other insert and painted the inside and bolt head black. Then filled the cavity with resin on both shoes. Bingo looks good and I got a new pair of shoes in transit.

That is some seriously good customer service and I glad you figured out a fix for your current pair.

 Very happy with it. I plan to get out to the driving range so I can dial in my distance with it. Once I have gotten a few more rounds and driving range time I plan to post a short review here on the forum. I have an easier time hitting long irons than fairway woods and hybrids. This gives me some additional reach off the tee when a driver is too long and for second shots on long holes.

When you want to do a new putter build, you need to start with a putter head.   Wanted to build a blade style putter with a graphite shaft of some kind.   Probably in late 2000s I played a center shafted Sizemore putter which I liked but obviously like other putters that I have used I moved on to try other things.   While looking I ran across a Bruce Sizemore putter that is from his new company (More Golf) at a price that I was willing to pay.   It arrived yesterday and it is exactly what I was looking for:  More Golf Render blade putter with Oban stepless steel putter shaft and JumboMax 1.2 grip.  Based on rolling a few carpet putts it feels a little head heavy and the ball seems to be hot off the face.  Both are good traits since I am thinking about maybe counterbalancing the putter to get more weight under my hands.   The face of the putter is definitely unique;  it feels like fine grit sandpaper.  

Anyway,  a what you bought post is useless without pictures:

That's a beautiful looking putter! I haven't ever heard of them but then, I'm not a putter junkie when though I see where it could be very tempting to fall down that hole. There's just so many out there. 

I can't wait to hear how it performs for you.

Hey everyone, wanted some advice. I have been playing golf now for the last two years. I have been using the Calloway Edge set from Cosco. 

I am currently a 21 HC per 18 Birdies. I play once a week usually, at minimum once every two weeks. For the last 6 months, I consistently score between a 93-97. Got a new PR of 90 the other day! 

My question -- is it worth upgrading my Edge set? I got fitted for a AI Smoke Driver and AI Smoke Irons/G430 Irons (toss up between the two per my fitter).

Thank you in advance for the guidance! :)

Asking a group of golfers if you should get new clubs is like asking a dog if they want walkies 😂😂

 

I am of the opinion that if your clubs are working well for you then is it worth buying a full new set. But on the flip side if you want them, can afford them, and feel you will get your money's worth out of them over the years then 100% go for it. A good set of clubs can last you years.

Congratulations on the recent PB!

It really depends, do you feel like you are losing shots with the set you have, or are you looking for something different?

I’m still playing a set of irons from 2011 because they still work for me.  Have found anything that feels right when I look at my local shop.

But if you think that there are gains with the new clubs, then go for it.  Or, if you just want something new, then go for it!!!

Thank you so much, haha. 

 

As far as distance goes, I am pretty happy with all of my clubs. I think what I am hoping to get with new clubs is more consistency/forgiveness.  With my current driver, I slice quite often. With my irons, I tend to hook them. 

And then yes, I lean towards buying them just to buy them because I can ... but I am trying to be at least somewhat logically with it haha. I just bought the a new golf bag, Ghost Everyday (love it so much), and I just feel some new clubs would look even better with it ...

The Ghost bags are sharp looking and agree, new clubs would look nice in there!

Distance control and forgiving would definitely be improvements and could help lead to more PBs!
