I put them both on my watch list, I'm getting a new 3 wood.*don'ttellthewife* Well the bidding gets hot and heavy and I'm lurking waiting to snipe at the person who thinks he can out snipe me. But wait, there are people out there with more money than brains. The bidding closes on the 1st one at $135.00 + $19.00 shipping for a grand total of $154.00. The last time I checked on the 2nd one it was at $125 + $19 for shipping. Needless to say I'm not watching that one anymore either. I may play golf in the middle of the afternoon in the dead of summer but I'm not that silly.
What are these people thinking? You can get a new R5 for a buck and a half at Dick's, hell, for 180 a brand new R7 (moveable weight) 3 wood can find a home in your bag, or until it gets wrapped around a tree, or a golf cart or (insert immovable object here). I'm beginning to see why people who don't golf make fun of those who do, or in my case try. If you'll excuse me now I'm off to see about a putter.
Who's up for next Sunday? |
You've just describe the "golf ho" syndrome. You should check out the various golf forums on line...there's a lot of them out there!
Keep me posted on a time for next Sunday. I'm heading down to Va Beach next Friday to play golf and do some fishing. I'm coming back on Sunday morning so if you play some time in the early afternoon I might be able to make it.
Happy Fathers Day to all the SOMD Hackers! (and non-hackers too)
