Golf Thread

My mate who is in our golf group won the first prize in the Pro’s Christmas raffle, a £500 driver, he only bought a new Ping last year but I reckon he’ll go for one of the new ones, the Callaway Smoke looks mint, he’s 4.5 so he’ll get good value, would be wasted on me.

However I won the £200 second prize in the raffle, a Lindeberg jacket, I’ve never paid that for a golf outer layer so I opted for a Footjoy Gillet at £110 and put £90 in the book, should keep me in balls for a month or so.
Your lucky, i won a CBX Zip Core wedge worth about £130 . I’ve got new Mizuno wedges so I ask my club pro can I swap it for a UA jacket £72 .. Nope you have to have it . Couldn’t be arsed selling on eBay ect so gave it to my bro in law .
 
The new Ping driver is getting rave reviews, but sod paying 600 quid for it!
G430?
I got one last April for approx £480 (winnings from my account in the Pro's shop), and I haven't looked back.
It's superb. I've gained 10-20 yards on my old Titleist driver (917) and I'm straighter.
If you've got the dosh, buy one.
 
I wouldn’t buy a Taylormade Spider GT putter because it was red . Manage to find one in black . The Pro fitter was a Oldham fan and he understood
We bought a Henrietta Hoover in our house (think it cost about £30-£40 more to have it in pink) rather than the standard Henry who is defo a rag.............

Yeah, but it's a new one called the Max 10k, supposed to be even more forgiving. They are claiming it's the first driver with an MOI of over 10, which is a measure of resistance to twisting on off centre hits. TaylorMade have also released a driver with an MOI of 10, so it looks like being the 'next big thing'.
I used to have a G400 Max, which had an MOI of nearly 10 and it was very forgiving, just not quite as long as the newer stuff.
Still not paying 600 quid!
 
Never really bought into the technology side of the game although I play a Callaway Mavrik driver which is a couple of years old.
I got my 20+ years old Mizuno T zoid irons out of the loft recently and they're going really good, the persimmon driver stayed up there though!
A better investment is lessons and practice.

Mine is closed today, ground still frozen. Fingers crossed for tomorrow but the forecast is crap, wet and high winds, so I won't cry if it's shut.
