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

[barryschwartz56]

I just purchased a "gently used" Edison 55 degree wedge.  These are returns they get back within the first 30 days.  You could see that this club was hit a few tines but it's a 9.5+ out of 10.  Bill at Edison couldn't have been more helpful. They adjusted the lie and length to my specs and the club arrived just a few days after I placed the order.  I needed to replace a Hogan TK15 that was starting to lose some spin due to age.  I haven't had a chance to hit this new one yet, but I know that Terry Kohler, who designed the Edison, also designed the TK15, so I'm confident it will be a great wedge.

Not me. For once, but a friend just put in an order for takomo 101 irons. I'm excited to see these and how they work for him. He went in for a fitting and was put into the Callaway Rogue ST Pro irons and decided to save the extra bit and go with Takomo. 

I hope that they work as well as the Callaway for him. He has caught the golf bug hard and went from never having played or picked up a club to a 20ish handicap in the span of about 5 months. Really fun to see his progression and hopefully these help him out a bit more moving forward!

I'll be curious, as well - I believe the 101T might be a closer match to the Rogue ST Pro irons - I think the 101s are generally considered a little large.  That being said, all the same tech, so it's just a preference thing.  Those 101Ts...man they're pretty.  Was toying with the idea of ordering heads-only since I now know a good shaft (from fitting) for me in irons, which I could order from Golfworks, but...I've never built clubs, so I'd be more than a little nervous I'd eff it up

Watch a "Mcgolf" video on utube, then buy the cheapest irons at the local charity shop to practice with. Pull them apart and glue them back together and your good to go, that's what I did easy peasy...

P.s..I posted a $40NZ "brake pad/shaft remover" hack on here simple, you can actually remove shafts on the dinner table or at the beach NO problem. Good luck..

I just added a Titleist TSi 1 15 degree three wood with a TENSEI AV Blue 65 graphite shaft (stiff) to my ever-increasing arsenal.  Should be delivered in about a week.  Note to self. Go play don't shop.

Not golf related at all and you'll see why.

As an Aussie, I actually do eat Vegemite. It can be hard and expensive to get (World Market is a ripoff) but I usually get it on Amazon. October 21 I bought a 12 x 220g case for $75...bargain. The same one now they want $125...ripoff.

So I bought this guy, 2.5kg tub, should last me a minute.

The 220g jar is for perspective.

I am getting new shafts in my driver, 3 wood, and 2 iron plus a new grip on the putter via a Club Champion fitting.  Cannot wait for them to come in...and the weather to improve!

Forgot my golf shoes so I bought some Footjoy Traditions with cleats at the Pro Shop where I played….Marked down from $140 to $95.  Worked great, especially with it being cart path only and mountainous.

That’s how I bought my last new pair of golf shoes as well!

Hey guys and girls

 

Hope we’re all well.

 

Keen golfer and fully got the bug, 18 months and wish id of started years ago!

 

Anyway, I entered a comp for the latest Toulon Design Monaco small batch..............and won!

 

I’m unsure if I should use it, keep it for future value in years to come or sell it now. What would you do?

I answered in the thread you created asking the exact same question.

Nobody is selling a vacuum! Think you're reading a bit too much into it. Suggest you lighten up, maybe run your vacuum around your house SIR

Hit the last years zx5 irons last night and they were soooo good. Point and shoot straight and felt amazing.  
So the i59’s are gone and the zx5’s are waiting for me to pick them up.  At this rate if the zx5 LS driver is as good as some reports, I may have a full bag of srixons. Lol
