    Not me, but my wife bought me an early Father's Day present. A full-size pin/flag/cup with 3 foam balls. Now I have to turf my front yard, lol

    Love it!
     
    I just ordered the Hack Motion PRO. I have many students (and myself) that have a cupped wrist. I also have many that are not supinating the lead hand, because of a chicken wing. The Hack Motion looks like it could be a game changer to get the info to the student, and to better tighten up myself, and gain consistency.
     
    Still fighting my putting. Picked up a Cameron Futura 6m. Ugliest thing ever!! Pretty fair shape, except for the grip. Played it this morning with some success. It's down in my shop, now, waiting for epoxy on a 1" extension to dry. New SuperStroke laying there to slip on. It was 34" and I usually play 35". Thought I'd try it as 34", but really seemed short. Now it's 35" and will be in the bag again tomorrow with the new grip. Sheesh! That thing is ginormous.
     
    Cameron actually turned out 35 1/2". Can stand up and get a better look at the hole. And, that dinosaur seems to hold its line and not want to waver. Took a few holes to get used to it. Then, it seemed like it really wants to stay in the bag. The SuperStroke Tour 2.0 fits the hands well. I'm sorta excited. Will see how long that excitement lasts.
     
    Ordered some old golf instruction dvd’s for a friend.He somewhat lives in the stone ages and has no internet.Fingers crossed that the dvd’s are still playable
     
    Well, decided to try something new. With my lack of playing time, my iron game has been a bit of a struggle for consistency when I do get out to play. It takes a while to get my swing back into any seviceble form as it relates to swing, ball position, and distance from stance to ball. My last time out on the range I realized that when I widened out my swing for the driver and starting hitting it well, my iron game suffered. That lead to me keeping the driver in the bag and going with 3 wood off the tee. It lessened the difference between my swing widths and I started playing better.

    Thinking about it for a few months, I started to investigate ways to simplify my swing and came across references to single length irons. Long story short, I ordered up some Pin Hawk SL iron heads 5-PW. It may take a while to get them assembled as my shop (aka the garage) gets a tad warm during the Texas summer.

    You want "ginormoua*, put a LAB DF2.1 in your hands.... As big as it is, it's soooo stable.
     
    Took the plastic off my Taylormade Qi10 core model driver with the stock Diamana. Been hitting the OG Sim driver well, Ping g400 max when things go wrong, but this driver really surprised me with straight distance. The high MOI talk is all about the Qi10 max in the Taylormade lineup but this core model is right up there and probably higher MOI than people think.
     
    Picked up a set of Ping G425 irons, 5-AW. The reviews aren't as good as on the G430's, but what I paid for the 425's made it a deal I couldn't pass up.

    I'm to that stage where I have to begin leaving the bag alone!! Need someone to tie my hands when I start looking at anything new again!!!

    I would advise that you look for outside assistance for that problem. Junkies don’t go to other junkies to sober up. Most would advise you to buy both sets immediately so you have some additional time while you are thinking about your next set of irons.
     
    Well, guess I bought another golf cart. Sold the last one I had this past Spring. Was going to need batteries, tires, and had some other issues. Sold it at the right time. This season been using the course fleet carts. Going into winter, would have liked the hard cover with doors, but was willing to try it without.
    Yesterday, the clubhouse manager told me a member had put theirs up for sale. He said if there was a squeak or rattle, they would have called the dealer 2 hours away. The notice on our bulletin board said they had regular service work done by the dealer.
    Came home and contacted the current owner. She and her spouse have recently retired from the Army and are moving back home. Been members at our course the past 4 years.
    I had gone out and looked at the cart while I was still at the course. They must wash and wax it weekly. Could not find a spec of dust on it anywhere. Would swear it just was delivered from the showroom. Electric EZ Go, full Door Works hard cover w/doors, upgraded seats and interior, turn signals, etc.
    Appointment to meet them noon tomorrow at the course to finalize the deal and take ownership. It's basically the same cost, dues wise, whether you have your own cart in a shed at the course or just use one of the club's fleet carts. The only thing that would motivate someone to own their own cart is convenience. Much of the year you don't have to lug your clubs back and forth. You have a cover for rain, cold, etc. the fleet carts don't have. And... you don't have to put up with the chatter of an obnoxious passenger that you might get using a fleet cart.
    I'm stoked and will hit the forum with some photos after I have my hands on it.
     
    Trouble getting pictures from camera to laptop. Hope you can see this one. Old minds ain't got what it takes to do all this techy stuff!!
