I was going to buy a new pair of MY Joys but they were $320.00 so I went shopping and I found a pair of Foot Joy Icons for $130.00. So I ended up buying three pairs of shoes for the amount I could have paid for one. I got the Icons a pair FJ M Projects and the spikeless Pumas. I thought I done good.

I've also been bargain shopping for some golf duds. I picked up some Izod golf pants and a couple shark shirts from Macy's all on sale and with the wifes coupons it all became dirt cheap. I'm pretty much geared up for the 2015 golf year. Now if I could find a discount on some nice weather.
You're gonna love those KBS shafts. I had them installed in my Adams CB3s and they are soooo smooth. Great shafts. Good luck!

I got the KBS C Taper shafts. They blew the True Tempers away when I was trying them out. I've been playing True Temper shafts for 20 years and I never liked them as much as I did the old Hogan 4 shafts I had before that. I'm pumped!

The Pumas have arrived.

Yup, I have the c-tapers too. Slightly lower trajectory than S300s. You're gonna love em!

I had an old set of Palm Springs cavity back clubs that I bought about 25 years ago. I replaced the driver with a TaylorMade Burner 9.5º about 3 years ago, and just recently replaced the irons with TaylorMade Rocketbladez irons (4-AW) and the 3W with a Rocketballz Stage 2 Tour 3W. My wife also bought me an Odyssey White Ice #9 putter for Christmas. I still need to replace my 5W, which I never used anyway. Never could hit that damn thing. I'll probably look into some sort of hybrid club.

Anyway, can't wait to get out to play.
I'm your huckleberry...played Ping Eye 2's for years..might pick up another set...Woods too...I found some at ten bucks a club.

...aquired Adams Drivers this summer for dirt cheap...love those clubs.

I've got to pick a putter..I have a Greg Norman Tiger Shark, PingZing, Hog1005D and an AXIS1

edit: Forgot I bought an ALL Hickory putter St Andrews The "Davie" but haven't tried it.

Yeah, we'll definitely have to get out and hit some this year. Does the Mrs. play? Mine does occasionally. She struggles quite a bit but we'd have a good time.

The nice thing about replacing clubs every 20 years or so, is that you can buy new clubs that are a year or two old (technology wise) for a great price and significantly upgrade.

So how's Terradyne CC and Crestview CC? Ironhorse and Deer Creek GC?

No feed back on these courses. Are they worth me driving to play?


I'm pumped for golf this year and I'm almost totally retooled. Just ordered a new Sun Mountain C-130S golf bag in black. Has the 14 slots, one for each club and although it's a cart bag it has a stand. I've had the same cart bag for 15 years so I was due.

New set of Mizuno MP-15s complete with a 56* SW and I picked a 52* late last fall. For the first time in my life I'm going to carry 3 wedges.
New pair of Foot Joy Icons as well as a pair of M Projects both at about half price.

I also picked some new duds at Macy's. With the sales and the wife's discounts I've been buying shirts and pants for a little over $20.00 per. Hell I even got new socks.

Now I'm ready!

Thinking about following the Royals out on the road for a weekend this year and want to make it kind of a golf trip, as well. Right now I'm looking at Boston (Aug 20-23), Tampa (Aug 28-30), and Baltimore (Sep 11-13). Obviously Tampa will have plenty of nice courses, but I'd be more interested in some historic courses in the area of Boston or Baltimore that the general public would be allowed to play. I don't mind having to drive a little ways.

Any of you guys have some suggestions? Thanks in advance
For Baltimore, the biggest two would be TPC Avenel and Congressional. The TPC is open to public. I dont think Congressional is, but I really dont know.

TPC was the site for the Kemper Open until the mid late 90's and Congressional has a regular tour stop and was the site of the US Open in 2011.

So I'm going to play a few golf tournaments this year in Kansas. Deer Creek(Overland Pk), Ironhorse(Leawood), Willow Bend(Wichita), Quail Ridge(Winfield) and Alvamar. I'm pretty sure these are all good tracks but if any of you all have opinions on these courses I would love to hear it.

I have decided (again) that I hate this game. Shot a decent round for me today (86....I'm a 14.8 handicap) but not only did I miss THREE putts inside of two feet (don't even know how at that distance) I couldn't find the fairway off of the tee if you gave me a dadgum roadmap.

It's the 8th round I've played this year and outside of the driver I'm pretty happy with the way I'm playing. I have no off the wall notion that I'm going to suddenly start shooting low 80s every time out, but if I could get the big stick working correctly I do think I could shoot 85-89 consistently.

Consider looking at one of the mini drivers/deep faced three woods. It's a lot easier to control a club with a 43" shaft, and a lot of guys hit them almost as long as their driver.

Something like this, for example:

may do that if things keep up this way, thank you

'Hamas' Jenkins 03-22-2015 04:01 PM
What's your setup right now, OD?

Old Dog 03-22-2015 04:09 PM
Meaning how do I set up to the ball?
With the driver, with the ball about the left heel, and the right foot dropped back about 3". The issue is I'll push the dang thing one time and then pull it the next, hit one 4 miles high the next time, and every 6th or 7th time hit a baby draw that is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. It's like Forrest Gumps box of chocolates.

If you were meaning what clubs am I using....I have old bats.
Nike Sumo2 driver, 3W, and 2 hybrid
Nike Slingshot 3-7
Nike SQ Sumo 8,9,PW,AW,SW
Odyssey 2 ball putter
