In your dreams Mate...

It's pay-day soon.........
 
No clubs for me at least this week (that is waiting for the custom fit in 2 weeks)

But did receive a box of 'bargains' from the Sports HQ

Woodworm belt (looks cool, needed a new one and on a one day sale for £7.99)
Adidas Flyer Hat (has a really cooling elasticated mesh back and on sale for one day at £2.99)
3 Gloves (not the best but good enough for most rounds and on sale for £7.99 for 3)
Pair of Hi-Tec Power CDT Shoes (really good for under £50, comfy, look smart and I wanted some shoes with blue in them).

So at least I did not buy any clubs, these are golfing essentials and bargains.

Are the Vokeys not screening at you?? "paint me white or change me for some TMs"

That's a good point actually, if as TM say, white is the best colour, why are there irons and wedges not white?
 
Looks like in going AG tomorrow with a mate he wants a new 3wood and being im in the markets for shoes 3wood and hybrid and a watch at some point in the next few moths I just have my self a dabble. Mrs gave the green light for me buyin a watch that costs 110. Forgot to mention its for golf and also costs a touch more lol
 
Well......Well.......
Ive made ANOTHER Purchase..........reluctantly.........forced upon......honest:whistle:

Lent my mate, my New Ping i20 driver, thursday, got it back friday, course closed, went to range, swung driver, rattle......:confused:.......swung driver, rattle.......:(
Something loose, probably just a bit of glue.......??
But gota send it back
Meanwhile, saturday, 1st medal of the year, NO DRIVER, and not even a 'back-up' in the garage

So off I go, New Purchase, New Ping G20 , 10.5deg Stiff TFC 169D TOUR, gota deal at £179, so not so bad, he sez, trying to justify himself
A different look to my i20, but still performs well

Last time I sent a club back, ( ping G2 ) it came back, felt completely different, and sold Immediately.....
Fingers Crossed , not the case, cos DO LIKE THE i20......Honest
 
Lady Doon has offered to buy me a new set of irons, most unlike her, should I be worried?

Anyway....I am quite attatched to my 10 year old X14s so at my age I wonder if it is worth it?

It's quite funny getting older, you think about such thinks as 'is it worthwhile buying a new pair of walking boots'.

M'lady was buying a something the other day and the salesman said that it had a 25 year guarantee. he then gave me a funny look and said with a wee smile 'I suppose that is not a great incentive to you.'
 
Didn't go AG today in the end. Went to Practice rounds at the club for a couple hours. Think the pro seen the glint in my eye whilst I was looking at clubs and offered me a rbz 3wood to take out for a round. So next time I go out might just take up that offer

Its a great club fella. i think you might be surprised. lol
 
Well, after bidding on half a dozen putters on ebay in the past week, I've finally got one....

Odyssey White Ice #2

Nice clean blade style to swap in for the mallet headed Corza Ghost when needed. Always good to have something different waiting in the wings when a change is needed on the greens.

Lovely simple head shape and once I stick a nice new Odyssey grip on it, it'll feel like new. :thup:

This made me laugh, your not even telling us why you needed a new putter and before its arrived you want it regripped...... PROBLEM!!! time for you to open up to GA I think.....


Edit, Having said that I did have a long hard look at the Mizuno putter being sold on the for sale section with the center shaft...:o

:D

*climbs on therapist's couch*

Weeeeeelll, I am putting like a knob and it can't be my stroke right? So OBVIOUSLY I need a new putter :whistle:

Seriously, I want the option of a blade style head that I find easier to line up square. Mallets are great on long putts, but the curved head somehow makes it hard for me to focus on squaring up the face at address.. no idea why.

I'm changing the putter grip becasue the guy who's selling it has a lamkin cord putter grip on there which is not really my thing.

I fancy one of these Vegas Odyssey ones!

I just like to add to the thread that, subject to collection, I have just arranged to buy the Mizuno MP32 4 iron to complete my set.

And I have an excuse for buying it too :D
 
Hmm I looked on my ebay this morning and it seems I have been ebaying in my sleep.... I am watching Mp32, 33, 38.... WTF am I on.... I don't need a set of blades, I cant hide a set of blades from my wife. I blame boring TV for this.

Did you forget to take your meds?


....... The voices told me to do it :whistle:

On a more helpful note. Andy had a gorgeous set of MP33's for sale a while back, for not very much if I remember right........ Maybe worth a PM






You can thank me later :D
