I bought today.....

Okay so I think I may have sorted my away bag out. Very little opportunity for 2nd hand clubs out here in Sweden. But golfbidder is available and you can do eBay from UK if the sellers are up for shipping.
I had my eye on a Wilson staff putter .. it was £112 out here, but golfbidder had it at £72, so I snaffled that up, and whilst I was on there I picked up a yonex hybrid XP brand new for £55 it’s adjustable so hopefully it can fit in my yardages. I then picked up a 50 degree ping tour gorge wedge £40, and then a vokey sm7 56 at £85 ( bit pricey but the 56 with 8 degrees of bounce is what I wanted) .. that leaves me with a 5 wood to find and I really would like some recommendations I have in my home bag a rogue with a fancy shaft that I picked up off eBay for a song.
But anyone got opinions on the Taylormades and pings please share! But I am not desperate for the 5 wood as I could possibly squeeze 210 out of the hybrid with a little back dislocation!

overall looking back the driver purchase might have been frivolous and I could have got one off Golfbidder as well, but I hit this one sweet as, so I just got it. But the rest of the bag was completed for £440 .. which I think is okay. Especially when I was in the Swedish shop looking like I was parting with £1200 with no wedges, hybrid or fairway wood!
 
Motocaddy M1 trolley. Tour bag sits perfectly on it with access to all pockets, happy days.
 
Pair of Callaway Apex Pro S shoes. I'd been looking for something for the summer months as my black Dryjoy tours arent overly light.
Company on ebay had these for a great price £45 (normally £80+ when I've looked previously) no choice in colours, only white over red left in stock but I thought they looked a little different anyway so bought them. They arrived today and came with 2 pairs of laces, red and white. First impressions look pretty good.

Loving the colours ?
 
Across Golf Caddie.

After a brief convo with the The Man (MH), I pulled the trigger for this and look forward to doing some tracking.

I have a set of these, as they came with my Cobra irons, but I took the grips off as I wasn’t going to use them as I didn’t play enough to justify the subscription. Might get them out back on now as I have joined a club.
 
Agreed to eBay buy 4 golf ball markers from clubs I’ve played but didn’t purchase for one reason or another.

Also waiting on a a-z courses book so I can check if there’s some clubs/markers I’ve played and forgotten about.



It’s becoming a thing ?‍♂️?

I‘m the same with yardage books. ?
 
Golf Insurance.......after watching my ball hit the road that runs through the course twice then out on to the public highway. Scared the poo out of me. Never again.
 
Has anyone noticed a big increase in selling prices on eBay for golf related products?

There’s been a few clubs I’ve been watching last couple weeks that have gone for well above what I’d normally expect. I’m putting it down to more people getting out playing post lockdown.
Maybe I’m imagining it but feel there’s been a big jump
 
A dozen Snell MTB and MTB-X balls to try out, read quite alot about them and Dean Snell. Seen them mentioned here a few times too so will be interesting to see how they go. Back in stock Tuesday so might have them for the weekend, if not the following.

plenty of opportunists on ebay the last few mths, not golf specific, shop around price wise currently and assume ebay not likely to be cheapest imo, if its a 2nd hand club id wait a month or two personally
 
What made you go for it, I used game golf for a couple years but fancy having another go but with their problems I have been thinking about going with across.

I saw some images and stats put up on Twitter by the gaffer, we exchanged a few messages, and because I’m striking my balls so much better and with far more consistency, I want/need something I can look at after my rounds as my carry yardages are increasing across all my clubs and I’m hoping these will give me that feedback I need.

I’m loving the Snell balls, I’m using MTB-X.

There’s nothing not to like imo, the ball im using now has done 3 rounds at my home club & just completed another tough round over the Hotchkin yesterday, although I did find it a couple of times shivering in the Heather hoping not to be hit anymore ?

Still has excellent colour after 4 rounds, unlike Vice balls, hasn’t cut up at all, is great off the tee, even better around the greens and nice off the putter.

I’m playing some of the best golf I’ve ever played, this ball is playing its part in that imo, can’t speak more highly of it.
