Nice waking up with $2040 in your pocket unless of course you had $5040 when you went to sleep...

6-S G700s or something that offers a lot of forgiveness, hybrids for 3-5, a super lofted driver, and the most forgiving putter I can buy. Probably all in senior or regular flex, max. Comas reek havoc on hand-eye coordination and muscle memory.

Sounds like Cranial Rectitis. Mrs. Pelz says I have that all the time.

 

For the non-clinical, it means you have your head up your a**.

I'd pay to get my clubs I already owned shipped to me and then spend the rest on booze for that month, probably would end up back in the coma.

I'd go to Club Champion for a fitting... but I'd probably only be able to walk out with a driver and putter for $2k.

 

I'd definitely buy a spare for the putter, becuase if money was no object that sucker is finally going for that swim that I've been threatening all these years.

I’d like to get a custom putter. Maybe a TP Mills specifically made for me with my name and/or initials somewhere on it. If I had any left over, I’d probably Just blow it :smile:

+$2040?

 

Here's my thought process:

 

**What's the best experience I can get? Most fun I can have or sets me up to feel best going forward?**

2 part answer

 

Part 1

Fav course Bandon Trails is 6 hours away by car...

 

As the crow flies Chambers Bay is probably 9 miles from me but 35 mins away. 25 min drive then 10-15 mins from the top to the bottom. Kind of a hassle really. I know absolutely 1st world problems but you have to check in up top then wait for a shuttle... blah blah blah.

 

I'd probably just join the Classic golf course, though probably about twice as far as Chambers but freeway makes it also 35 mins away.

 

The Classic is in great condition, has an active men's club and it's pretty much all the challenge you'd want.

I'm a little embarrassed to tell you how inexpensive it might be. Suffice it to say $$$ left over for 2020 season as well.

Clubs?

Pffft, I'm pretty happy with what I have now.

 

**Part 2**

I do need a driver fitting... but aside from that...

* Probably just spend it on Nippon or Rifle shafts with cork in em' whichever one I like better.

* Might Pimp out a Ketcsh...

 

That's what I'd do I'd redesign the Ketsch to keep head weight up moi low and back.

 

Then either flatten out the wings or maybe redesign the sole plate either for the purpose of some sort of ball pick up.

 

Here's the thing... @MartyJertson needs to call me some of this stuff is easy to do...

 

With Tungsten being heavier than steel you can easily move the weight back to preserve MOI and do a pick up option in the bottom if you want to.

 

Really like the blue anodized paint job on the Happy putter I would do that with my Ketsch
