I got my staff bag... talk about some fast S&H by TGW!!! the thing is even better than it looks in the pictures... After the range today I am going to fully load it down, I can't wait to see how much stuff I can put in there! I am going to get a moon bag to throw in the back of the trunk in case I find myself in a walking situation. I am still going to keep the stand bag so I can use it at The National, that way I don't piss my caddie off too much.

I can't wait to see what my clbus look like in there!! hopefully my 983 won't shrivel up from being put in a TM bag.

TO ANYONe THINK OF BUYING A STAFF BAG IN THE NEAR FUTURE YOU CAN"T AFFORD TO LET THIS DEAL SLIP BY!!! ITS A STEAL!

Pete - just an FYI - they are not as big as you think. I can probably cram the same amount of stuff in my hoofer as I can my staff - however - it is just a simple joy to pull the clubs out without pulling a muscle. And you can toss like 20 clubs in there.

Carry it on your left shoulder - maybe the hooks will go away :lol:

I am going to beg to differ... although these are more of a modest staffer, unlike some of the hippo's I've seen in pro shops... I do see a lot more junk going in it alread. I have alread packed my winter hat, cart gloves, cold gloves, wet gloves, rain jacket and about two million tees, and about 2 dozen balls. I still have a ton of room in the big pocket. I couldn't even fit my rain jacket in my Ogio.

What I think I am going to do is sew a seperate pouch in the ball compartment for and leave that pocket above the ball pocket for my ball marker and divot tool. then I'll have the pocket velvet lined pocket on the belly for my wallet, phone, keys and anything else I might have in my pocket when I arrive at the course.

Here's a rookie question for you... What is the buckle for around the top? Bag tags?

Good come back pete . I would never expect anything less from you :lol:

[phillypete]

went to the range last night got a jumbo bucket and then proceeded to hit nothing stronger than a 8i. I am going to continue this until I get dead on with my irons... the drives wills have thier day in the sun but for now its the irons.

I can't remember a drive ever giving me a birdie putt, maybe a nice drive gave me a good angle and one less club, but no matter how good I drive it I always have to make an iron shot inorder to setup a birdie opertunity.

I think GIR is the most important golf stat. A lot of people say its putts but think about it like this I could hit every green and two and score the same as some who has missed every green and one putted. If you look at the putts it would appear that Mr. Upanddown had the better round when in fact he was lucky one or two of those putts didn't lip out and Mr. GIR was unlucky that a few of those birdies didn't drop.

I also see hit the fairway as a very case sensative. Your average amature is not play US Open rough week in week out. The rough just isn't punishing enough to to make FW's worth the bother... Now of course if it does cause a problem you'll be able to see it by looking at your GIR. You'll see you GIR is down and then see that its b/c your missing fairways.

On all my scorecards I write my score then above it I use dots to represent the number of putts, an F in the upper left corner for my fairway off the tee... if it does go OB, into sand, or into water than an OB, S, or W will be in the upper left. My second shot goes in the lower left third in upper right and fourth in the lower right if needed. This gives me a detailed look at my round when I want to look back down the road... my foursome makes fun of me but I like it.

[Mike]

Let them make all the fun of you they want pete . The only way to improve is to identify your weak area's and then improve them :)

[AKFLY]

Pete – I keep track also – and yes some guys will poke some fun but BFD (Big F#cking Deal). Mike’s Philosophy is dead on and so is your new routine. When I played allot I did the same thing – found that one area and practiced – hopefully you greatly improve in that area and then jump to the next – and yes they are all important – some may also be mental – like keeping the ball in play off the tee – depending on how tight the course is – like my regular playground.

By the way how’s the tour bag?

[phillypete]

By the way how’s the tour bag?

the bag is sweet... but I gotta say I feel a little silly taking it to the range, especially since I now go to the ghetto range. When I used to go to the up scale range staff bags were not uncommon but here where knock offs seem to rule they are never seen... perhaps when my game is feeling a bit more stable I'll take it out.

Well s**t here I go again. I went to the range today and hit my vsteel three wood and was nutting it and was not hitting the rescue very good. Then to beat all I went to the putting green and had the betti and the monza both and the monza felt great. I hate this. I guess I just need to figure out which ones I want to keep and get rid of the others to resist the temptation of switching them in and out. I know this has nothing to do with anything but he thats what this is for. I need better weather for more practice....this winter is getting old real quick.

Well s**t here I go again.  I went to the range today and hit my vsteel three wood and was nutting it and was not hitting the rescue very good.  Then to beat all I went to the putting green and had the betti and the monza both and the monza felt great.  I hate this.  I guess I just need to figure out which ones I want to keep and get rid of the others to resist the temptation of switching them in and out.  I know this has nothing to do with anything but he thats what this is for.  I need better weather for more practice....this winter is getting old real quick.

I use to be the same way. My plan is to be down to my set plus an extra putter by Memorial Day. I just pulled the 757 out of my TP and put theNV65 in – I hope I like it and hope its like a Pro-lite on steroids. I have a GD 9.1 coming for the 3 wood and my PX’s are doweled and swig weighted ready to find their way into my 300’s once the ferrules arrive from Golfsmith

By the way the dowel thing is very easy to do and if you have a drill you can do it for like $5.00. By the dowels at Sears Hardware, buy a steel rod a bit smaller than the 5/16 dowel and long enough to use as a plunger in your longest iron. Drill a small hole through each dowel – takes a little practice but you get 33 in a pack and then epoxy and plunge them down the shaft. In the PX’s they fit perfect. Keep it in mind the next time you put new grips on your clubs

[Alcap26]

Well I am real close to selling both. I know I can get most if not all back out of the betti but I will take a little hurting on the rescue. Oh well. I talked to Mike earlier about some 690's but I think I am leaning more towards the 680. I have heard the 690 has a higher ball flight and the 680 lower and I lets just put it this way I have to call NASA for permission to launch before I hit an iron shot and I would like to bring it down. I have always wanted a set of blades but after today i think I need some Callaway Big Bertha Irons...I know it was just the clothes and cold weather but it is discouraging.

Al – it was only one day –let it pass then try them again. I would have sold my TM 200 tour after my first go around with it. I love the head the sound and the feel. Now I hope I find a shaft to keep the flight down. My friend always says you cannot have enough putters and wedges.

As to the Titleist irons try before you buy – there has to be plenty of used sets at the retailers or a demo set around. Blades just set up perfect. Was at my local shop getting shafts pulled out of my driver and 3 wood – and was checking out the KZG zero offset – very nice. Also I like the Mizuno combo set. At one point I was going to keep my 690 CB’s and buy 690 MB 6,7,8,9,PW. I had a make shift combo set or is it called a flow set now years ago consisting of Ram FX blades and FX2 cavity back for 3 and 4 irons – very sweet.

[Alcap26]

I'll keep both but I have always wanted blades so I might look into them into the future. The guy that does all my club work sales the KZG irons and I have also considered them. He let me take a blade three iron two years ago shafted with a ust tour weight graphite shaft and I was killing it. What a fantastic feel but I still needed a cavity back (or so I thought). I was thinking of doing the combo set in the kzg maybe. the reason I shifted toward the 680 is that I have read a lot on the web that they are better for sweepers and that is me. I have always picked the ball with a small divot. We will see what happens but if the baby bee does not step it up soon it will be off to a new home where it can be more productive. I still like the monza a lot.

Putters are funny that way – My Whit Hot 1 is my go to – bot I have a Newport 2 that I want refinished – and then ask myself – why? I always go back to the Odyssey. Since you have TM 300’s did you try a RAC MB? That may be an option and then you can mix in the 300’s if you like them.

[Alcap26]

Hadn't really thought of the Rac MB irons but you are right they would probably make a good mix. I would keep my 300 2 iron no matter what set I have. I love that club. I also want to get my Scotty newport 2.5 refinished and I want the offset gone maybe the slit in the sole also would be nice. I might look into the RAC mb's thanks for the reminder they are an option. But like you said why do that to the scotty when the Monza was all I have used for every round except one since early last june.

I know I am turning into a ho. Who are some putter refinishers? I wonder if tourspec refinishing could do it? Is one geoputters.com?
