Has anyone seen the Burke golf clubs? They look great!

Why yes... yes I have

I continue to be blessed by my buddy who works in the golf industry. He has sent me many products for free or insanely cheap in the past and this most recent shipment might be the best yet.

A few weeks ago he sent me a picture of a Titleist U505 2-iron and asked if I'd be interested. I said absolutely without having to think twice. I currently have a G425 Crossover 2-iron in the bag, but I wasn't in love with it. Shaft was slightly too stiff for me and I didn't love the look at address. Meanwhile this U505 looks beautiful and has a Graphite Design Tour AD DI-85S shaft in it. 

I recently got a new 3-wood with a red Ventus Velocore shaft in it and it's been my new favorite club. I told him to keep an eye out for a Ventus blue driver shaft because if I'm hitting my 3-wood this good, I can only imagine it would help my driving too, right?! Long story short he found one, threw a ping tip on it and sent it out with the 2-iron above.

The box arrived yesterday and I was very excited to get my hands on the new 2-iron and driver shaft. Then to my surprise, I opened the box and saw a bunch more extra gifts! He threw in a dozen golf balls including the new Callaway Chrome Tour and Chrome Tour X balls, as well as some TaylorMade TP5s. He also included two brand new Titleist Players gloves in my size, a Titleist hat and last but definitely not least... a Greyson polo in my size.

I'm over the moon and it feels like Christmas morning with all these new toys. Super excited to put the new driver shaft and 2-iron into play this weekend. Hoping they provide me with the results I'm expecting!

So, this buddy of yours... Is he looking for any new left handed buddies?

@Byrnzee , dont worry, while they want to be friends to your friend, I'm just fine with being your friend... with golf equipment benefits

BY FAR the least sensible thing in my golf bag. I do not have the speed to hit this Gen5 X driving iron...not even close. BUT it was SO cheap (bought the head only for less than $20) and had an old, uncut shaft laying around so, why not?! Even if I can't hit it, I'll be happy enough just looking at it 

Is that an old demo head, or are all their driving irons adjustable?

I just picked up a new pair of Under Armour All the Birds shorts at Ross today. I held them up for the wife to see and she immediately fell in love with them. My only complaint is the back pockets are sewn shut and I'm going to have to pick up a stitch remover to rectify the situation.

Picked up some iron heads. 
Have a mixed set of ferrules that I was thinking about using, but I'm not sure. Using black $tapers

What do we think? Black or a pop of color? 

Well the follow Dodge guy will say black. The Chevy guy will go with the color. The Ford guy won't know what to say because his clubs are still in the shop. And the Toyota guy will ask why aren't they Miuras?

Personally go with the black, not because of the color but they are shorter and look cleaner.

I’d say that the Chevy guy would go with chrome. Lots and lots of chrome.

@davidhibler I’ve got black irons with black graphite shafts and black ferrules, but I’m a minimalist.

Is your friend doing interviews for a new friend position? I'm interested!

See, this guy gets it. That's why I have 9 putters. Keeps the gamer in line.

Exactly,  this is why I gave 3 complete bags of clubs so they can all enter the rotation.
