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

[KC Golf]

Ordered and received my used TSR3 from Asia.  Hard to believe this is used.  As indicated by the store manager, it was probably bought in error and returned after it was taken out of the plastic.  Unlike Canada, it also comes with a wrench too.
Looking forward to seeing this in the bag after getting a GP MCC+4 grip installed.

It was great deal.  They don’t consider a GD Tour AD an upcharge shaft, so it made it even better.

Oo, oo buy the DCB 4-w and trade the 4-5 to me to make my 6-aw a combo set. You want to try an Odyssey chipper?  

The chipper comment hurts lol. I struggle at chipping and until I get better I bought a Cleveland Smart Sole chipping Wedge and it may be the best money per stokes gain in the bag, if not its tied with the putter.

I tried that chipper but never could get good with the feel and where to land the ball but for those that do it is definitely a "cheat" club. laughing all the way to the bank!!

I experimented with the Odyssey for a few months, ultimately decided the good ones weren't outweighing the bad ones. My putter is milled, so switching back and forth to the insert chipper was hard to adjust. I bet if I tried it with an insert putter I would've gamed it better.

Cleveland is a modified version of a standard wedge not an insert, Ping has a version also. I mentioned getting one and my buddies ribbed me pretty hard and last month we had a for fun scramble and ended up with the extra man 5th person on our team and none of them could get the ball anywhere near the hole either on a regular basis so let them laugh if they want but unless they get better fast they will be putting off some of my chips onto the green the next scramble. .

I took a little teasing with the chipper, too. I really wanted to like it, I payed $50 for it and put a $30 SS grip on it.

Used it for the 1st time yesterday and unless its beginners luck I would fight a SOB who trys to take it from me lol. Just played 9, the rain was coming but I put several chips inside a few feet including a few that werent exactly on the fringe lol. I struggled with pulling my irons yesterday, no idea why.

I have a DCB 5 iron that I am not really using. Was considering trading it in to CPO.

Making their debut today and I’m hopeful. Multiple efforts on a shoe with extra room in the toe yet doesn’t slip on the heel 

Relaxed fit seems to be the charm

No luck with Sketchers, wish I did they are cushy but they did not give enough lateral support for me.

Nice! i'm on my 4th pair.  I currently have 1 spikeless and 1 spike.  Best golf shoes ever,

After taking on a big task for my pro he paid me back with some new PXG Gen 6 Black irons with Accra 70i shafts.  I had them bent to 4 degree gaps starting at 46* because that is what I have played for the the last 20 years.  I think these me be the sexiest looking irons I have ever seen and the feel is to die for.  The fitting experience from PXG was awesome.  I was playing Gen 3 irons from my previous fitting at Club Champion.  The 6 added yards on average is nice and the overall playability of these irons are awesome!

Ah dang, apparently I'm a Wedge Ho now... 

Over the weekend, ordered individual components to build 3 new wedges. Chose the lofts/bounces so that they're not directly replacing my current suite of wedges, instead planning to swap things in/out based on "conditions" (i.e. how I feel on a given day, I'm not good enough to adapt to conditions). Will need to send pics of the final build, but only the shafts are in right now -- hoping for mid-May build: 

Heads: Vokey SM9 Jet Black 46.10 (my first separate wedge under 50*, might replace the 44* PW), 54.12, and 58.08. Adding on customizations from Sick Sticks Golf -- 46 will be a $100 bill, 54 will be Kenny Powers on the jet ski (matches the new driver cover...yea, bought that too), and 58 will be Tin Cup with the quote "Greatness Courts Failure" (you know, for the close-range flopper).  

Components: Grips will be Masters-colored Golf Pride MCC that I picked up last year and are waiting to be used; BB&F Golden Bell ferrules

Well, they're here. And they're awesome. Ended up swapping out the Golden Bell ferrules for things that match a little better (still all BB&F -- had a single Green/Gold ferrule from a past mix-pack, so threw that on the 46; bought new Black/White/Green ferrules for the others). Naturally, just like my T100S test, I picked up the fully-built clubs on the way to the course, so didn't get good pics before using them for 9 holes...but here goes: 

The one quick pre-round photo: 

And some close-ups for the full build: 

Customizations done by Sick Sticks Golf in Northern WI (seriously, give them a follow on IG) - they ordered the wedges direct from Titleist, did the customizations, and then shipped them to me. Upcharge for the customization (vs. same build bought and shipped direct from Titleist) was $75 for one of them, $65 for each of the other two (they would have reassembled the clubs for that same price, but I had the green shafts, so they left them apart and sent me the shafts too). The Kenny was a net new thing for them; the other two they've done the prints before (minus the quote).

... I really love those white/green A-A-Ron NY Jets ferrules on two of your wedges!

These are absolutely gorgeous ! I love the gucci'ed clubs you see now, and these are certainly on that list. I will definitely give these guys a follow and maybe even a call haha

Picked up a few things today. 
 

Groove it Brush-no clue why I waited so long

MicroFiber towel

2-dozen more Vice Pro Soft balls

Ping Glide 4.0 54* E Grind wedge. Messed around with it today and unless it turns to crap the next time out it will replace the Zipcore with BGT shaft in the bag.

I ordered a new hat with the PGA Oak Hill on it. 

Ordered hubby a shirt and hat for Father's day!
