Update:

I have two packages set to arrive on now Tuesday. One is 44x6x5 and the other is 52x6x6 and the total weight is 15.6 lbs. Driver, fairways, and hybrids maybe? Irons?

I'm only mentioning it because this is probably the only part of the competition where I'll beat @Tom the Golf Nut and @chisag. I have a feeling they're going to be tough competition. 

For those curious… 

my Edel irons came in a box measuring roughly 45x5x8

That is all, carry on.

“One day it started raining, and it didn’t quit for four months. We been through every kind of rain there is. Little bitty stingin’ rain… and big ol’ fat rain. Rain that flew in sideways. And sometimes rain even seemed to come straight up from underneath. Shoot, it even rained at night…”

Can't go wrong with that movie!

I meant to tell you, that bag looks so good sitting there on the bank of your cart. I love that color!

 

... My bag should look pretty sweet too. Since it still hasn't arrived the only explanation is they are hand painting it so it will truly be one of a kind!

Look at it this way, Sam and I don't have a lot of room left to move on our handicaps our existing equipment was fit to us, and we have to get used to new equipment. I'm worried the other way. I think the rest of you are going to put a lot of pressure on the two of us. 

 

... OK trash talkin' aside, here's the truth:

Now you've caused my anticipation to ratchet up about 10 notches. I've been holding off on going up and measuring the iron boxes I have stored for this reason. 

As for being the first to get a notification, I'm guessing Cobra has been reading my posts and know that I need the most time to dial in my game.

Haha if that’s the case on dialing up game, they’d have overnight expressed mine the day after specs were submitted

That was so freaking good, Sam! I'm glad you finally got your bag, it looks sharp! Hopefully the MIM Tours don't lock you out of the house when you tell them.

... I think it is pretty interesting that everyone picked either a different bag and/or color.

Golfers are like snow flakes bla bla bla. You get the idea.

They all look good though.

I think it gives the readers a thorough review. Plus, you never know when someone might be undecided on who to root for and this gives them a tie breaker.

... Well I haven't worked so hard at my game the last 40 years to have someone root for me because of my bag choice. If they do I will happily send them you guys way.

No wonder why your handicap is lower than mine. I’m only on 34 years of working on my game.

... Started when I was 34 so really only 39 years and I was rounding up. But you need to pay closer attention Tom because my stiff back the last couple of months has taken a toll on my game and my current index is double yours! I'll need strokes form you!

... If you are counting on support from someone that likes the color of your bag, the top isn't where you are gonna end up! (unless you are my partner of course )

[JerryB]

Sheesh!!  Over 30 years working on your game, @chisag and @Tom the Golf Nut?  This one's for you!

I can believe you. I started playing when I was 30. My index is two years old so its probably a 10 now. Look how easy it was to get strokes back.

My irons went on strike today. They must have heard they were going in time out. Woods were killer, chipping was very good. Anything higher than a 9 iron was for crap. Everything was right of target. Not something I'm used to dealing with. It's not often that I played 3 days in a row so that could have been part of it. 72 Friday 71 yesterday and 76 today.

I think my clubs have heard me talking about me about new ones coming in. The last couple of times playing my driver and irons have been showing off, "see we're good clubs" and my wedges and putter have decided the best course of action is to attempt to make me quit the game.
