So if any of you watch the news/weather you will know that the northeast is getting pounded with a nice little winter storm. High winds, snow, ice etc. and it really makes me love living in Vermont (note the sarcasm). Another thing that really makes me love Vermont is the fact that we have NOT ONE single Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy or any other big golf store. We have a Dick's but its pathetic, at least the one near me is. The closest place is a Golf & Ski warehouse about 1.5 hrs away-and guess what they are pushing this time of the year- yes the Skiing part.
Anyway awhile back I found out that there is a Golf Galaxy in Albany, NY, which is about 1.5 hrs from me. It was great to actually see all the latest and greatest equipment. Wasn't all that impressed with most of the drivers, at least as far as looks go. I will say that the Titleist drivers looked very appealing to MY eye from address. Mizuno Irons were nice looking as were the new Cally X forged. I was surprised not to see any cleveland irons or Titleist irons...not sure about that.
In the end it was a good trip, picked up some grips, putter grip, and some Srixon ZURS (24.99/dz) and it was nice to actually not have to pay shipping and wait 5-7 days.
Needless to say I will be making another trip over when I don't have about 20 other things to do in the same day and of course its not snowing like crazy out!
