• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

I bought today.....

I’ve had 4 pairs of the tour 360 boost spiked and echo that their are without doubt the most comfortable shoes I have owned. It’s just a shame that you cannot get more than 8 months from the before the inside of the rear heel breaks down. Not something I’m willing to accept on £140 shoes

Fair point, haven’t had mine very long. Time will tell.
Can’t fault my Nike lunar control vapor, 2 years as my primary shoe and still perfect 👍🏻

I took mine to a local cobbler and sewed/glued a piece of suede in to the rear heel for £8.00 per pair.
Has extended the life of them over 12 months.
 
A new waterproof hat after I found mine was mouldy yest after leaving it in my boot for a few months under the boot itself 😂
 
Some trousers off Ebay.... royal blue, it said. Picture looked a bit paler, nice for the summer. Arrived today, heck if you close your eyes you can still see them!!

I think they are going back!
Nothing wrong with a nice bold pair of trousers. :D Bit late though, trouser season is nearly over.
 
I used to laugh at a mate of my old man's with his 7 and 9 woods back in the day, but I'm that old t**t now, struggling with anything more than a 6 iron!!!

But standard spec for your 6 iron is a loft of 28' and a length of 38", back in the 1970s a 4 iron typically had a loft of 28' and a length of 37.5".

So in reality you're hitting a 4 iron, okay the Wilson will launch far easier than on old 4 iron but you've still not yet lost your manhood. ;)

lol, I shouldn't laugh, my intention now is to replace my 5 iron with a 23° hybrid. :p 5 irons just have no place in this day and age!
 
I had a Ping fitting this week, not purchased yet but about to bite the bullet on; G410 Plus Driver, G410 3 & 7 Wood.
I seem to struggle with my 4 Hybrid, fitter suggested the 7 wood and it was a breeze to hit and felt great 🙄
 
I bought a new putter on ebay in an auction for 25 €, mostly because the really old Slotline Inertia putter I am using in my second bag at the moment, is not doing me any favours. The new one is a JuCad putter. Yeah, that's right. I didn't know they made putters either ... I knew them exclusively as a trolley/bag manufacturer, but seemingly they did bring out a putter line at some point. The guy I bought it from had won it in a competition and basically never used it, so it is really as good as new. It is a very heavy center shafted mallet (all my putters are center shafted ... it just suits my eye better). I took it to the course yesterday and put it in my bag right away for a 9 hole comp. I was a bit reluctant at first and after a few practice putts considered going back to my locker and exchanging it for the old one, because it felt so different. The extra weight means you really just have to give the ball a little nudge and it will roll on forever. But since I always struggled a bit with geting longer putts to the hole, I thought I'd just give it a go. What can I say? It is magical. I cannot remember ever putting that well. So now the JuCad putter is going into my main bag, replacing the Odyssey White Hot and that is going into my other bag to replace the Slotline.

Just had a look, is it the X300? I like the look of that and sounds like you grabbed a bargain.
You do of course know the magic dust usually only lasts a couple of rounds 😁

It's the stainless steel one, so the X800, but the shape is the same as the X300. I think the guy on ebay said the original retail price was 199 € or something like that. It is a very solid and classy looking putter. And yeah, I know the new putter magic normally does not last long :cool: I'll just try to make the most of it while it does.

Wow, I noticed the stainless one but didn't think it could be for that price. Great find.
