Just a quick report back: the Honma TW XP-1 HL driver with 43 gram Vizard shaft that I bought from Golfclubs4cash ... is absolutely lovely. Full review in the review section of this forum. Two slight drawbacks: thank to Brexit a UKP 140 club ended up costing UKP 181 delivered. Still a great price for a literally good as new club. Second thing: Golfclubs4cash tends not to include a driver wrench - which is an issue because Honma has their own system...

The settings are similar, but it's a wrench with a kind of sleeve on it that helps you dial in the setting.Just outta interest, is the honma torque wrench setting different to say Ping etc.

Garmin S12. I bought a new gps hand heald 6 months or so ago when my little back up GPS died, but I must have knocked the new one of my bag loading it in the car or something....it disappeared. I just needed a basic little unit that I can use when it gets misty out and the laser won't work.

What do you mean by practice balls? How are they different from normal balls?
I’ve never understood why it’s called a shag bag

It's an American term, comes from basketball and baseball - "In the ... United States it would mean that the coach wanted the players to collect all the basketballs from around the gym and return them to him or to the place where the balls are kept. To “shag” them means to collect the balls. There is a similar expression in baseball. During hitting practice when a player hits a fly ball into the outfield, the outfielder’s job is to “shag” it… i.e. to catch the fly-ball and throw it back. In golf you can even have a ball shagger which enables you to collect (pick up) practice balls without even bending over. Given that golfers often hit dozens of practice balls at a single practice session a ball shagger is probably a very good idea for lower back preservation."

Sometimes it is not a good idea to assume that you know what someone means when they give you a command. The key to effective communication is for both parties to clarify that the meaning is properly understood. If ever your coach asks you to "shag them" its probably a good idea to clarify with...

I think shag caddie used to be a term too for caddies who stood out in the range collecting their players balls

I bought today....a Honma 11 iron (TW 747P). I stumbled across this one on Ebay for Eur 50 brand new. I have been wanting to get an approach club that fits between my Chipper (42) and SW (58). To give me a bit more versatility. I just bought a Honma driver (as reported above) and like it very much. So got lucky on this 48 degree gap wedge/pitching wedge club. At one point, I hoped to go all Callaway/Cleveland as only two brands in my bag, but it seems another brand has snuck in.

A Motocaddy M3 Pro DHC trolley to replace the same trolley I bought 5 1/2 years ago which gave up the ghost on my 16th hole today.
I can't say the old girl owes me much...in that time she's completed well over 1000 rounds without missing a beat
But there's a lot of very strange noises coming from inside the motor casing and she simply refuses to go more than 1mph and you can forget about going uphill.
Bought a direct replacement so I can use the old one for spares like wheels and brackets if required..also the battery is the same so I can continue to use the old one- which works fine - until that dies and then I've got a brand new replacement.
And I won some cash on the Premium Bonds this morning so it hasn't cost as much as it should have..

A used Titleist GT2 7 wood from golfbidder. Been thinking about trying a 7 wood with a bit especially since they became so popular and nobody who's tried one seems to regret it. Problem was trying to find one, so rare on the used market.
Plan is to replace my 3 hybrid (21 deg)
Also thinking of getting a high loft hybrid around 24/25 degree and getting rid of 4 iron.
So bag would be driver (10.5), 5 wood (set at 17), 7 wood (21) , hybrid (24/25), 5 iron- PW , 50,54,58 plus putter.

Remarkably similar to my set-up. Driver, 16° 3 wood, 21° 7 wood, 23° hybrid, then 6 iron as my irons are strong-lofted. I like the set-up because each of headcover clubs gives me different options rather than just being the same club in different lofts.
