Ho'ed OUT

I have been busy as of late. None of this was planned it sort of just happened. Here is a list of everything I have bought in the last two weeks.

1. Von's Golf 398 putter head weighing in at 371g
2. A True Temper 200g putter shaft for the Von head. I bought this as an experiment. I wanted to try a heavier putter and when I had make the decision on a putter shaft I bought this one because I feared that the head would be to heavy on a reg putter shaft causing me to get wristy. I put it together yesterday and will put a grip on it tonight. Also I have been using a 33" putter so I wanted to try something different so I cut this one to 35". This thing weighs in shafted at 548g the grip weighs 66g I will be over 600g when it is all said and done. I hope this won't be too heavy!
3. Grafalloy Bi-matrix Fairway shaft. I have been wanting to try this shaft out for some time and Lyle posted a link to one on sale so I snatched it up. I going to put this in the Sonartec to test it out.
4.
Seemore Black FGP 34" putter. I threw a lowball bid on this the other night because I have been wanting to try one out. IT just showed up, nice putter I am about to go try it out this evening.
Last but not least
5. FT-5 9.5° with a accuflex creation 65 stiff. This should be here by the end of the week. Guess who I got it from????

This is it. I'm not buying anything else this year. or at least until summer is over.

What have ya'll been hoing???

I have been selling, dropped the mp-30's, TM 425, two cleveland wedges, a titty wedge and titty 16.5 fw. Turned that into a Nak 380cc driver and a mother's day gift for the wife. Which could have been a hoeing sin.....turning good golf money into mother's day gift money but I am looking for a 5w to replace my beater so that will make up for my sin.....:emot-ange

Interesting putter. Got any pics of it?

I'm ho'd out myself. No desire whatsoever to buy anything new. It only took a few thousand dollars worth of hoing and re-hoing but I've got a bag I'm content with. I just lost interest after the XL tour/whiteboard and the FTi/Creation. After pulling a 4yr. old driver off the used rack and killing all the new stuff, the indian/arrow deal was undeniable.

Lets see, other than the stuff I've already posted pictures of, I bought a Master Grip putter for $29.99 through a mail offer I received. It was to cheap to pass up, it's a good putter, but like Ezra said, it's the old Arrow/Indian syndrome, I still can't putt.

Rory is building me a Renegade 10 degree with a Harrison Mugen Stiff shaft, hey, I had to do something with my gift certificate I won on here, :emot-ange

I bought a 1 & 2 iron just for $hits and giggles to hit off the tee when the driver isn't behaving. BTW, Lee Trevino was right about a 1 iron, even God couldn't hit this thing, geez!!!!!!!

I've built my son a Maltby KE4 3W and KE4 21 degree hybrid.

Other than those, I've just hoed some golfing hats and moisture wicking shirts to play in. I'm through hoeing till I learn how to hit what I've already got.

I forgot that I bought an original TEE 9° driver with a comp NT. This thing is loooong. I bought this for the matrix but couldn't bring myself to pull the comp out of it. Next thing you know, along came Mr. FT-5 and i had to pull the trigger. I have been dying to get my hands on one.

I have sold some stuff also to help pay for some of these hoes.

1. Matrix Ozik xcon 6 stiff
2. SC Bullseye heavy flange 33"
3. VS proto driver shaft

Ez I will get pics of the putter up tomorrow.

I played with the seemore this afternoon and it surprised me. I might have to use it this weekend in my member/guest tourney.

Nah, you're just using solid long-term thinking. Keep SWMBO happy and future ho'ing will be easier. It's like a tithe - pay a weekly ransom and you get eternal salvation.

Mystery solved - Eracer should be happy.
He wasn't even on my radar, and frankly, the lack of clues took all the fun out of the game.

That's a big 10-4. How far are you from Columbia? or Santee? We need to meet up one Saturday with scgolfer and play a round.
