The Ultimate 2007 'Ho Challenge

[Bubble Head]

I am in. But I am coming up with 2 hybrids. No 20 handicapper should hit a 3 iron.

[Stanters]

Bag now finalised - value wise it's better than I thought I'd be able to manage at the start. I was expecting to have a couple of fillers but if you look about it's surprising what you can find.

well i`m a little late to the show but i will give it a shot.

gives me something to do whilst i`m bored.

[Stanters]

Just bumping as I've completed my set now - see above - and would be interested to hear any thoughts on how I did.

[IrishGolfer]

OK my little 'Hos, glad to see this is progressing well. I was away there for a week in the US, (NO GOLF :(:( in fact I was 1.5 miles from Torrey Pines :real angry:, but anyway, I digress)

I will tell you this, judging this is going to be a tough one, some fairly stunning Ho finds coming in. Imagine the All-star bag we get out of this??!!!

Still plenty of time to get your entry in. So come on down!

[Rockford35]

If Bob comes to me (theoretically) and says "I have $350, take it and fill a bag, I'd do this:

T.P. Mills Original Spalding putter

MP-T Black Ni Wedge 56*

Cleveland Launcher 460 Ti 10.5* Driver

TWO Cleveland Launcher 15* 3 woods, one Comp, one Ti

Cleveland Launcher 5 wood 19*

I have a set of MacGregor V Foil Forged M-455's 3-SW (9 irons) with regular flex graphite that I would sell him for $50, brand new in the plastic. 10/10 shape.

So, add up my totals here:

9.99 putter
0.99 wedge
10.50 Driver
25.01 for TWO 3 woods
25.00 5 wood
50.00 for irons (3-SW)

Total = $121.51

This took me all of 5 minutes to throw together. I could easily beat this total if I could link to my "special hoing places", but I refuse to divulge my sources for fear of competition.

I'd be interested in a set of those wedges for 3 bucks

[Bubble Head]

I just raised the price on those FWs

[Rockford35]

I just raised the price on those FWs

No worries, I'll find another dozen at those prices. If you get them, post some pics and send me a finders fee.

[Bubble Head]

I am buying them to play with the shafts.

[warbirdlover]

When is this contest over anyway?

When is this contest over anyway?

November 23rd, if I'm not mistaken.

Another question. If our limit is $350 (and equivalent) why wouldn't some of you guys go up to the limit and get some even better stuff? The judging is supposed to be on the best stuff for the bucks and no bonus for being way under the limit, right? (Maybe a bonus for being the first to post a list? )

[Lil_Huth]

Lol I am a judge and to my understanding it doesnt matter what your price is as ling as it is under $350. So go all out and spend the whole $350 to get a better bag.
