Today around 1500, I get a PayPal notification on my smartphone that I sent $100.40 to a PayPal account. Having no idea WTF it was for, I checked my account and saw that "I" had purchased a set of Callaway irons (1996 BB) for $85 plus shipping on eBay. Knowing that I did NOT do this, I immediately sent an eBay message to the seller asking him NOT to ship and that this was unauthorized. Got on the phone with PP and eBay and got the sale voided and both parties opened a case and guaranteed I would be reimbursed. The transaction has the irons shipping to me at my VA address, so it's not like I got hacked by somebody trying to steal clubs. The ONLY motivation I can think of is the seller hacked me and assumed I am a mindless geezer who'd just think I didn't remember (shut the fuk up you guys) ordering, or somebody knows I live in FL in the winter and was going to steal them off my VA porch? Neither make any real sense to me. The other possibility is the my phone bought them, but I have not even shopped this item, watched it, or even browsed to it. Very weird..................I have changed my passwords on eBay, PP and email.

I believe your subconscious understands you need all the help you can get on the course. That mind moved your fingers to order one of the most forgiving sets of irons ever made. Your subconscious won't rest until you bag the BB's and sell the Pings!!!:D

Let me get the Last Tee involved. Have you been taking your Gingko?

Maybe you have perfected the art of sleep-ho'ing? Ordering clubs unciously in your R.E.M. cycle. :D

Good theory, but if I'd have perfected the art, I would have sleep-ho'd a better purchase. ;)

I'm not dissing the model - '96 BB were great irons. This deal was bad. The clubs were beaters - it was a graphite set and the 5 iron had a steel shaft - mismatched grips - bad deal.
