No, not recieved it yet but sent the wedge today. I would have sent it earlier but I've sold sh*t loads on the Bay in the last week so not had the packaging (as you will see) What envelope did you send it in? I normally ignore my mail as they normally want money from me!!!

[Youngun5]

i'm in.

does shipping count towards our $350?

WBL's bag is not legal. If you use the PW as a wedge you only have 7 irons, and if you use it as an iron then you only have 1 wedge. Either way it seems that as a 20hcp that requiring an 8 iron set is unrealistic. How many 20's have you seen on the course with the ability to hit a 3 iron. Should just change the rules to a 7 iron set and let him keep his as is. make it easier on everyone else as well.

Splooge

I agree!!

(I like my irons, putter and driver better then MG's!! )

I believe the $350 includes shipping. That's why I did mine off of GG (free shipping)..

The Fella were buying for is a 20 handicapper!!!

My irons are more suited to a high handicapper that's for sure. As for the driver a 20 capper shouldn't really be using one & if he did 9.5 degrees wouldn't be great for him. The putters are very simlar but I'd still go for mine!!! My 3 wood trumps your whole bag though PLUS your a wedge short!!!

Looks like fun but also looks like a bit more work than I want to do.

Have fun boys.

Hey any spots left on the judging panel for this? If so i wanna be a judge.

[LeftyHoges]

I'm in. Lets see what we can dig up....

[ezra76]

This is going to take more time than I care to spend right now. I can't get into my "won" list past 60days on Ebay but between there and GG I've actually purchased a full set of sticks for less than that.

Alright, I'll play and edit in as I find something.

Changed my mind on the driver as this is looking like a Cleveland woods and wedge bag. Let's go with this 10.5* Hibore in great condion for a scant $94.99.

Cleveland HI BORE Driver 10.5 Degree Used Golf Club at GlobalGolf.com

You want a 15* 3W? How bout the new Adams Insight BUL? Try this one on for size.

ADAMS INSIGHT BUL 15* 3 WOOD GRAPHITE REGULAR - (eBay item 110186680597 end time Nov-01-07 20:09:08 PDT)

Putting in this Nike NDS 19* FW wood in lieu of a hybrid. I think the FW wood would be easier for "Bob" to hit than a hybrid in this loft anyway. Price is right, lol.

NIKE NDS FAIRWAY 5 19* GRAPHITE REGULAR FLEX - (eBay item 190167299282 end time Nov-02-07 14:51:07 PDT)

This set is only 3-9 iron but it's Mizuno Grain Flow forged, forgiving and only went for $41. We'll work on a PW.

Mizuno Comp EZ Irons MRH w/ R flex steel 3-9 iron NR - (eBay item 180171791732 end time Oct-27-07 18:02:57 PDT)

Since poor Bob now has a mismatch PW let's give him something special... I think this tour issue 588 Gunmetal 47* formerly owned by Mark Brooks should do the trick. We'll splurge for $66 for this beauty.

Cleveland 588 GunMetal 47 degree PW TG wedge - (eBay item 280163571502 end time Oct-22-07 19:39:08 PDT)


Sticking with Cleveland, here's a 54* SW. Can't beat that in an 8conditon at $12.50

Cleveland Dynamic Sole Grind 588 54 Sand Wedge RTG - (eBay item 170160156102 end time Oct-21-07 06:26:23 PDT)

Just in case Bob wants to try to flop one, lol, here's another nice Gunmetal 588 60* for $25.

CLEVELAND REG 588 TOUR ACTION 60* LOB WEDGE GUN METAL - (eBay item 140172763791 end time Nov-02-07 15:56:29 PDT)

And here's the dealmaker. Let's just squeeze in a Scotty Cameron Detour and still have enough left left for a couple dogs at the turn.

Custom Titleist Scotty Cameron Detour Putter 33 Inches - (eBay item 190166254067 end time Oct-30-07 14:36:58 PDT)

Driver - $84.99
3W - $27.51
5W - $1
Irons 3-9 $41
PW - $66
SW - $12.50
LW - $25
Putter - $81

Total $339 with Forged irons, a Scotty and a Tour Issued wedge. Bow to the king!

This is my final edit for submission. $11 left for a couple buckets of range balls for Bob. Have fun trying to beat this one.

I'll give it you Ez that's a sweet bag!!! Your Money goes ALOT futher in the US that's for sure. Only problem you have is your 3wood is a 4 wood!!! Great Irons, Driver, Wedges and a Scotty!!!

[IrishGolfer]

Can't stop those frisky Hos! But this is great!

A Scotty for $81!! A set of Mizuno irons for $50! I can see an All Stars bag already.

MG you have the right approach to your logic on the suitability of each club for our client, Bob.

btw guys, you have until 20 November to complete this and you are already showing me your cards!! Already I have 4 entries!! Is this your final submission dudes?

btw Lil_Huth is on the judging panel with me, thnaks dude.

I certainly don't subscribe to the theory that a 20 capper shouldn't be using a driver...I would be of the opinion that a driver these days is more forgiving than a 3 wood and any 20 cap I know can hit the driver far more consistent than a 3 wood...

[ualtim]

So far, my posted odds seem to be working out pretty close.


Although, at first glance, I would have to say Ez has pulled into the lead. May need to update the odds.

[warbirdlover]

But I put mine up first!! And did it in 15 minutes!! Does "speed" count?
