The Wager...


Pigems

Recommended Posts

After that demo day I REALLY want to hit the new Mizuno hybrid against my hybrid and 1 iron with REAL balls and not with beaten up range balls. I must have been bombing my driver as even with those balls I was landing in the 240-250 range up the hill. I don't think I have done that in forever. Of course, my wedge (130 club) was going about 100 yards, so take that as you wish. lol!

I think we might need a new wager for the no purchases group: I want to see who caves first at the end. Let's see the time stamp on the receipt to prove who caved first. :)

Gloves ... I am not sure my glove would tell you much other than my grip is NOT exactly something a golf coach would want to see. Sadly, I tossed my old glove about 3 weeks ago to get rid of the bad vibes of shoulder injury (and it was trashed!). I get wear at the back of the palm from the very end of the club rubbing and on the inside to middle of the thumb pad. Given the "hitchhikers thumb" I have, the idea of placing it in the correct place just doesn't work well for me. You should see me fight those gloves with the ridges in them to "help facilitate proper grip." I'm in the right part of the hand, but I am NOT someone with a gap in the right spot and all that stuff. :)

GG99, I've pondered bidding on an ebay item that ends on April 1st at 12:01 or near it. Just trying to find such an item isn't easy lol.

I would think you would want to REALLY be careful with anything ending on April Fool's Day... you might end up the fool with a Chinese counterfeit made of sand and rubber bands. :) Of course, you could always order from Europe to cheat a few hours. Then again, the shipping costs would be astronomical I would think.

I've already contacted Kadin and I'm hoping to place my Wishon order a week before the deadline (with payment to come after April 1st) so I can receive the product as early in April as possible.

Took a drive through 'the county' today as I took my wife and boys to Colasanti's (think animal farm, flowers, games, and mini golf). My son and I played 18 holes of putt putt golf. He made a few natural pars, but most of the time he'd hit a putt, pick up his ball, place it 3 inches from the hole and tap in. Freakin' hilarious. Most importantly he had a great time.

Bring on the good weather. The fields are still filled with water and patches of snow. A few weeks until the courses open. Thinking of traveling to Michigan to hit a golf ball in the real world.

What are you ordering PD??

Den, My thoughts exactly :)

I'm completing my short set of 560's with an 8, 7 and 6 iron and am lofting up my driver head from 9 to 11 degrees. My swing has changed so dramatically over the past year that my ball flight is too low. Last year I was hitting balloon balls off the driver, but that is no longer the case.

The Machine should be heading out at some point this week.

The bag is coming together quite nicely.

So your trying to tell me that if me and PD showed up at your place right now to steal you for a round of golf you couldn't go?? Not even a back up bag?? Or a back up back up bag?? I think we're gonna need your decoder ring, it's hard to stay under 80 with no clubs ;)

Hey Pige,

How's the back today? I've had my back issues over the years, and have had good luck seeing a D.O., if I couldn't fix it myself. Also got good results from a massage therapist. Never been to a Chiro. but some friends of mine say they help as well.
[/quote]

The old back is feeling a bit better today Bick, still not golfing better but improvement is good either way. Hopefully I'll be back to swinging clubs by the weekend :)

I've got enough 'back up' bags to outfit a foursome. On top of that I've got a set of G25s for G64. We're all set.

Ya, I have no clubs in the house. I would have borrow some. To be honest, because of finances and my wife not able to play anymore, we were/are selling our clubs. Mine are gone, have to sell her stuff next. But now that I have this new job, might have to buy some clubs? lol Thinking it isn't cool working @ G.T. and not play golf. Wouldn't have very much credibility with the customers!?

I'm sure you'll do just fine, my friend...

... I'm currently looking at full time and a part time gig on the side... I may go a similar route... and probably end up not saving much from the part time gig :cheesy:

Thanks guys. PD, doubt you will travel 2+ hours to come to London when you have a G.T. in your back yard!? lol Funny thing, they wanted me to go for product knowledge training this week. Told them I didn't need it. I'm a Golf WRX'r. ;)
BTW, just wondering, should I play blades?! :cheesy:

I'd go baby blades personally, this game is too easy as it is. ;)

Or even better, you can fit yourself and see what the computer spits out with you in control of it :)
