Not validated? WTF!

In all honesty, I could get Bob a bag with all the extra crap I have lying around and charge him shipping.

Put me down for $40 total - Fedex!

OK, I have weighed this up and after much thought I have come to my decision, thanks to Lil Huth for his input and help.

This will come as no surprise as he has found some outstanding value over the years…

Ezra – You are King of the Hos

Part of my motivation for doing this was to find what value out there. It seems ridiculous that you can get an entire set for $350, but collectively this group has shown that it is entirely possible, not just to get a set, but to get a set of excellent value and brand.

So let’s remind ourselves what Ez found.
  • 1,3,5 wood for $113
  • 3-9 Mizuno forged irons for $41 ffs!!
  • 3 Cleveland wedges for just over $100
  • And the cream on the cake? An outstanding Scotty Cameron for $81
He spent only $339 and found some outstanding value for money and highest quality equipment. He scored 59 points (including the bonus 10 for ultimate Ho.)

Mr. Bob Shottalk would be well chuffed with this set and I think more importantly he would benefit from playing this set.

MG, Irish, FAK19, Goatster and Lilhellmaker17’s entries all had their merits. MG, I think the fact that you bought everything in the UK made it all the harder a task for you. Some outstanding choices and I like the way you were thinking but ultimately there can be only one winner.

Ez, I have something special I think for you. PM sent.

Thanks all for playing!

Thanks IG, I appreciate it. I may be a semi-hack out there on the course but about scratch when it comes to clubhoing.

MG, you let me down. I had you going off as the 2:1 favorite over Ez at 3:1. I have got to work on my lines for the next contest.

Congrats Ez

This was a Fantasy Ho Competition. Ez won based on the rules / criteria.

His prize? After much to'ing & fro'ing he has chosen a ....

Sonartec SS-02 14 degree with a Fuji Pro Vista shaft - a real gamer of a fairway wood which deserves someoine else's love 7 attention. Well done Dude, hit 'er well.
