It's going to be a quick blink of an eye and she's moving out. Life is funny how it makes you proud and tearful at the same event. I was an absolute blubbering idiot the first day of Kindergarten for our first (daughter) when we finally "let go" for her first day. My Son's first day at Kindergarten 5-years later...not so much, but emotional none-the-less. Those LUVS commercials are pretty darn accurate to be honest... You'll be fine.

Our town hosts an after prom that nearly every single senior attends because it's so much fun. The majority of kids get the big party buses that pick them up at the high school prior to prom, and the school rents charter buses for the rest of the kids so no one has to drive. Then once prom is done, the kids are bused back to the high school where they stay until 5am. Parents are called once the kids get checked in, and kids cannot leave before 5am unless the parents are called and give approval.

Popular Post StrokerAce Posted June 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 2, 2019 I've been so envious of those folks who live within driving distance of a PGA superstore.... I imagined it as a golfers playground that would be hard to walk out of. We had a GolfSmith open near me a few years ago but it collapsed under it's own weight and since then there hasn't been a real golf shop within a reasonable distance. On June 1st the PGASS opened up in a former Toys R Us location and it is about a 40 minute drive from me so last night I decided to go check it out.... WOW this place is gigantic! Biggest golf store I've ever seen...I thought that GolfSmith was big... WHOA rows and rows and rows of shoes... HOLY SMOKES! That's a beautiful shoe but whew that's expensive.. The most extensive collection of Evnroll putters I've seen in person. Got to roll them all ... even the all black one. Mygolfspy representing !! woo-hoo... A good collection of those crazy looking Axis1 putters....rolled a couple and after the initial weird look they put a good roll on the ball. Not cheap - around 350 or so I think but hey, if it works... Everything was out - mostly in plastic - but for some reason the Scotty's were all in a locked case. And they weren't even the most expensive putters there! I get it - Scotty Cameron, ooooo-ahhhhh, but c'mon...locked up? That is a bit hubristic. Must be a special deal they have with the OEM or something. Most beautiful and favorite putter I saw in the store... I think it was around 450, but man was it NICE. The Toulon boys sure know how to make a nice flatstick. Thought this was funny....Don't tell me Tiger doesn't move the needle on apparel! If I showed up at most of the courses around me wearing this they'd tell me I couldn't play unless I have a collared shirt. Seriously... "Novelty collar polo" hahaha; where I'm from they call these a henley. Gratuitous photo of the ONE set of Ping Blueprints they had on the shelf. Good grief these are absolute works of art.... a beautiful club from head to toe. Compared them to the g410 - it's obviously on the right in pic above and these are 8 irons. That clubhead in the blueprint is tiny so it would make most everything next to it look huge. Small and thin - a true ball strikers club. Another thing I noticed when looking at the Ping's is they all now seem to have the screw in the toe...at least all of the newer models - even the blades. The entire left had side of the store are hitting bays....at the end there were 4 'practice' bays and - as you can see - they had fitting bays and instruction bays as well. The hitting bays just had nets (not screens like the others) but - they all had GCquad AND ... get this... a camera pointed at you and when you finish your shot the computer screen shows it on GC Quad and also shows a video of your swing.... had never seen that before. They also had a good deal if you lived in the area - for 100.00 you could get a 1 year membership and bring your clubs and hit in the bays whenever you want year-round....I thought he also said you could rent one too but might have misunderstood. Finally....their fitting prices are fantastic! 50.00 for most everything a 40.00 for 1 hour putter fitting....with launch monitor and video... that is half of what it costs most anywhere else around me. I'll definitely be back for that! Hope you enjoyed the tour....all in all it is a great place. I was disappointed in the lack of grand opening deals - shoes at "10.00 off" is not a deal... you can find most everything in there but not everything ... their putter selection was fine but other than the Toulon I didn't see another #9 in the store. WTH? And did I say it was big... remember how big Toys R Us stores were ? yeah... it just keeps going back.

Banbury usually chews me up, but it is definitely a great track with lots of pretty views and well kept. Many say it is the most beautiful and best maintained non-private club around. I agree. http://www.banburygolf.com/ sirchunksalot and Rickp 2 Quote In my DLX Cart Bag: Driver: G410 SFT, set to 9.5*, Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange 60, stiff (MGS Official 2019 Tester) 3W: G-Series SF TEC, set to 16*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 5W: G400 SFT, set to 19*, Aldila Tour Blue ATX, 65g, stiff 7W: G410 SFT, set to 22*.

tony@CIC Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 1 hour ago, GolfSpy Stroker said: I've been so envious of those folks who live within driving distance of a PGA superstore.... I imagined it as a golfers playground that would be hard to walk out of. We had a GolfSmith open near me a few years ago but it collapsed under it's own weight and since then there hasn't been a real golf shop within a reasonable distance. On June 1st the PGASS opened up in a former Toys R Us location and it is about a 40 minute drive from me so last night I decided to go check it out.... WOW this place is gigantic! Biggest golf store I've ever seen...I thought that GolfSmith was big... WHOA rows and rows and rows of shoes... HOLY SMOKES! That's a beautiful shoe but whew that's expensive.. The most extensive collection of Evnroll putters I've seen in person. Got to roll them all ... even the all black one. Mygolfspy representing !! woo-hoo... A good collection of those crazy looking Axis1 putters....rolled a couple and after the initial weird look they put a good roll on the ball. Not cheap - around 350 or so I think but hey, if it works... Everything was out - mostly in plastic - but for some reason the Scotty's were all in a locked case. And they weren't even the most expensive putters there! I get it - Scotty Cameron, ooooo-ahhhhh, but c'mon...locked up? That is a bit hubristic. Must be a special deal they have with the OEM or something. Most beautiful and favorite putter I saw in the store... I think it was around 450, but man was it NICE. The Toulon boys sure know how to make a nice flatstick. Thought this was funny....Don't tell me Tiger doesn't move the needle on apparel! If I showed up at most of the courses around me wearing this they'd tell me I couldn't play unless I have a collared shirt. Seriously... "Novelty collar polo" hahaha; where I'm from they call these a henley. Gratuitous photo of the ONE set of Ping Blueprints they had on the shelf. Good grief these are absolute works of art.... a beautiful club from head to toe. Compared them to the g410 - it's obviously on the right in pic above and these are 8 irons. That clubhead in the blueprint is tiny so it would make most everything next to it look huge. Small and thin - a true ball strikers club. Another thing I noticed when looking at the Ping's is they all now seem to have the screw in the toe...at least all of the newer models - even the blades. The entire left had side of the store are hitting bays....at the end there were 4 'practice' bays and - as you can see - they had fitting bays and instruction bays as well. The hitting bays just had nets (not screens like the others) but - they all had GCquad AND ... get this... a camera pointed at you and when you finish your shot the computer screen shows it on GC Quad and also shows a video of your swing.... had never seen that before. They also had a good deal if you lived in the area - for 100.00 you could get a 1 year membership and bring your clubs and hit in the bays whenever you want year-round....I thought he also said you could rent one too but might have misunderstood. Finally....their fitting prices are fantastic! 50.00 for most everything a 40.00 for 1 hour putter fitting....with launch monitor and video... that is half of what it costs most anywhere else around me. I'll definitely be back for that! Hope you enjoyed the tour....all in all it is a great place. I was disappointed in the lack of grand opening deals - shoes at "10.00 off" is not a deal... you can find most everything in there but not everything ... their putter selection was fine but other than the Toulon I didn't see another #9 in the store. WTH? And did I say it was big... remember how big Toys R Us stores were ? yeah... it just keeps going back. Hopefully they have enough business to stick around because that's a lot of real estate! Wow - did I see 1 lefty putter in those pics??? Might be worth a trip out there.

That part could definitely use some help..As every shop does.It’s disappointing how us lefties get “left out”, sorry.The 2 golf shop in our area they have little to nothing for us to really look at. Good thing balls aren’t left and right hand we would be in big trouble.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy StrokerAce, sirchunksalot and tony@CIC 3 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
