Just got my new X22s Guess I will see if a club really can improve a crappy game. heh

You got a cool brother in law. Enjoy the trip.

Damn you Hamas lol...jealous now.

Getting to play the Old Course would be worth it alone...Carnoustie is awesome too. Just don't go full van de Velde on 18 lol.

What are the other courses you can choose from? Something like Troon or Turnberry would be the icing on top.

Here are the courses:

St. Andrews Old Course
St. Andrews New or Jubilee Course
Carnoustie Championship Course
Prestwick Old
Nairn (I guess they held the 1999 Walker Cup there and will host the 2012 Curtis Cup)
Royal Dornoch (which is rated by Golf Digest as the #3 course outside of the US). Tom Watson said it was the best links course he's ever played.

I'm just stunned.

That is a sweet set of clubs Guru, at least you'll look good out on the course.

A friend of mine plays really good golf, low 90's. Hes cheap though, real cheap. He uses his dads old set of clubs from the 70's. I mean they look bad. But he does good out there. Imagine what he'd do with quality clubs like yours.

Thats awesome Hamas. A dream vacation to say the least.

Cool stuff.

That is cool as hell man. Congrats!

I've heard Dornoch is a gem...wow congrats.

That is an epic trip.

That is an epic, way cool trip. Hit'em straight!

I just bought the Callaway Diablo Edge driver for $99 on ebay... $15 shipping. I loved it when I hit it a year ago but wasn't willing to spend the money when the price was sky high. I'll re-grip it with a Tacki-mac jumbo grip when it gets here. It's a 10.5 with a stiffy. Heh! Stiffy!

My oldest daughter didn't make the volleyball team this past fall, but she has two years of junior golf under her belt, so I've talked her into taking a crack at the golf team this fall as a freshman. I'll get her some lessons with the local pro at LCC. I wasn't about to drop $500.00 bucks on a set of Pings for her, but I may have found the next best thing. Ordered her a set of Ping G-15 knockoffs from Gigagolf.com. Hell, you can get a complete iron set for $120.00 if you go with stock grips and the less expensive Tru-Temper steel shafts.

I switched to the Diablo this summer (I had a Rapture before) and gained a few yards, but more importantly gained some accuracy.

If you haven't purchased these yet you might go for a used set. You can likely find a high quality used set for $120 or less.

Just a comment from a Ping fan (I5's in my bag)

Does your daughter really enjoy the game? If so, wouldn't that $500 set of clubs be worth the initial investment if she became good enough to earn a scholarship?

Trust me, I'm out at Alvamar enough that I often catch the KU women's team practicing. It apparently doesn't take a whole lot of skill to play for KU golf. While I'm sure there are some really good golfers on the team, there are also some girls that you wonder how they made their high school team.

Shit.

Wish I had known. I'm getting ready to sell a cherry set of Ping G5's.
