Impulse Purchases?

Scotch seems to work the same way. Whisky must make us better online bargain finders. Haha

I'm an hour away from the golf shop and go in every time we go to the city. I rarely get anything mostly just play with all the toys. My impulse golf fix is the book store. I have a bookcase full of golf books I love to read and see what their take on the game is. Kindle is even more dangerous. What ya gonna do?

[JTexGolfer]

You'll love it. I tried it at the PGA Show last month and should have ordered it right there. I've been puttying it off since I got back.

I have the Sklz version of it and LOVE it as a warmup/tempo tool.

Really? I can't even begin to count them.

Perhaps it's time for Kenny to do a Sure-Out review. Hmmm?

I'm interested.

I was contemplating between the 58* and the 64*, and went with the 58* because I thought it would be more useful around the greens to me.  When I went to the course, I noted a couple of things.  First, the Sure Out is a big wedge compared to my SCORs.  Second, I had no trouble hitting balls off tight lies.  Third, the ball spun better than my SCOR 58* (maybe the my grooves are worn?).  Fourth, "Not one ball stayed in the bunker.  They all came out"

 

Give me a week with it after it warms up here a little more and I'll consider making an evaluation.  It snowed this afternoon!!

I wouldn't be opposed to trying one of those. They look good. My bunker play has been mediocre at this past year. I used to think I was pretty decent from the sand most of the time. Perhaps I need a little more forgiving sand wedge now days. Let me know how things progress.

Seldom buy anything on impulse. See how that works at the Portland golf show tomorrow. I work so little time to linger and Im nit taking much cash or any plastic so I should be good.

[revkev]

I am not an impulse buyer. I look at stuff for a long time and generally decide that it is more money than I want to spend. When I go to golf stores I see lots of okay stuff just don't end up purchasing. I even struggle when I have gift cards; just nothing all that interesting. Guess I have all the golf stuff I need.

Nah you're like the addict who refrains by thinking, there's always tomorrow. I can buy something tomorrow.

I'd be interested also. When I leave Bayou the 60 becomes less valuable and this more vulnerable to replacement. I'd love to have a no brainer Sand Iron.

I have to admit I have on several occasions. However I have gotten much better and really think out most all my purchases. Case and point I have $100 to the local shop and have been in twice recently and walked out with nothing. I have ideas what I want but just haven't found the right thing to pull the trigger on

I was back at GG yesterday with their coupons in my back pocket. Was hoping that Odyssey used O Works putter was still there. Nope some other lefty grabbed it. They had a couple of other used putters that were ok but had my heart and cash set on that putter. Oh well will keep the powder dry for the next trip.

Bought some 2017 Chrome Soft X for $31 yesterday. Gonna see if it feels the same as the non-x but spin less. DTC companies, after shipping, are around the same price so why the hell not? Next on my list is a box of MTBs and maybe I'll give the TP5/x another shot. Haven't tried the non-x -- but the tp5x was a little firm feeling off the putter and wedges if I remember correctly.

Just got an email from PayPal telling me about a special 24 month/0% financing promotion that expires at the end of this month...

 

Someone tell me I don't need a G400 driver.

You don't need a G400 driver,  go with the G400 Max

My man! I can't find any lefties, unfortunately. I think if one pops up before Wedneaday I might pull the trigger.

Dicks Sporting Goods takes Paypal for online purchases.

It's gotta be specifically from eBay, or I would have already been all over it.

I like to go into the retail stores and “kick tires”, maybe buy some tees or balls. But I don't pull the trigger on anything major unless I've done some research first.

[Charli]

[808nation]

EVERYTHING I OWN 🤤 ...jk As I get older I do my research to get the best price and value for my very hard earned money.

I have a bad (but I guess good) habit about doing this. Once I find something, I always spend forever trying to find the cheapest price or cashback options or whatever else. I'm all about saving that dough.

I imagine you have to be a bit frugal since a jar of peanut butter is like $37 over there

[Shankster]

Just got an email that the TM Hi - Toe Wedges are available. It's been customized and sitting in my cart.... do I really need a 64° wedge??!!

[tehuti]

Even with my penchant for budget clubs I'll still agonize over a purchase before pulling the trigger. Right now I am trying to decide if I will continue to fight with my 3 and 4 hybrids or try something else.

A couple of years ago I had an hour to kill before a meeting so I went to a local Golftown to kill some time.  I ended up trying different putters and found an Odyssey seemed to work best.  Putts of 10-15' rolled in one after the other and I walked out with it even though I had done a putter fitting e few months earlier and my current putter was still the best for me.

 

Historically I have never gotten along with inserts.  About 8 years ago I was given an Odyssey which I had no consistency with so I passed it along to my father.  Even knowing this I had visions of saving multiple strokes per round.  Practicing with the new stick was great until I started playing with it on the course, I never three putted so much.  The putter rolled straight but I had no consistency with distance leaving putts way short or blowing them by the hole.  Looking back when I practiced with the new putter it took a couple of putts to dial in distance, this doesn't work on course.

 

I should have known better but I still fell for the new toy looking better and visions of grandeur.  The worst part is I have much bigger issues with other parts of my game while putting is by far my best aspect.  Since then I try to remember this when walking in to a golf store and have not walked out with a new club since.

I think they make the putting greens where the ball funnels towards the hole.
