I thought we had a thread for this, but couldn't find it. What did you buy today?

Sneakylong I think you might have that backward...😉

Fixed it. Although it kinda was obvious. lol.

pellmell

pellmell It's a TruBlu Divide Blank (no engraving) except for a sight dot.

I received the putter yesterday. The stock mid/large grip looked heavy and confirmed with a C2 on the swingweight scale, not good. The putter is 34 inches long and the head weight is 350g therefore the culprit had to be the grip. I removed the grip, which weighs 152g 😲, and installed a Ping Blackout (Tiger's grip) and now the swingweight is D6. It's a beautiful putter but a less knowledgeable consumer might discard it because it feels too light with the stock grip.

I've been using Seed golf balls for the last couple of years, so it was difficult to turn this offer down when an e-mail arrived earlier today - 50s or 100s of their SD-01 model (the one that I use) with minor printing imperfections for a fairly significant discount over normal pricing (£69 for 50 or £125 for 100 on this offer, compared to £25 per dozen on subscription).

I've ordered a batch of 100, so should have enough balls to last me well into next year...

This is the deal that I took advantage of (on their UK site) - it may be better for those in the US to try their main site: https://seedgolf.com/products/sd-01-loose-golf-balls

Sneakylong steered us away from Samsung. Bought an LG.

We bought a new LG refrigerator late this past summer. By late November it was making knocking noises. I contacted the dealer and we are still waiting for his tech to show up. In fairness to him, we were in Texas all of February but there should have been plenty of time for them to show up. Everything I read on the internet tells me the compressor is likely going out.
That's not good news because the same site says that LG isn't good about standing behind their compressors and they are very costly, at least 75% of what we paid for the refrigerator. I can almost tell what the dealer is going to say when he finally gets here, "Your warranty has run out."

Damn, you'll have to wear plenty of gold and a top hat with those! Don't forget to get you a gold grill for your teeth.
You'll be stylin'.

I bought a slightly used Titleist TSR1 driver with a Hazardus Black Smoke shaft for my son. His buddy has one and he's hit it a few times and loves it. His buddy's has a Hazardous Red Smoke shaft and I couldn't find a deal on one with a Red Smoke shaft but feel we should be ok because my son has quite a bit more head speed than his buddy. My son took care of our house (including snow removal) while we were in Texas last month so this is his reward. If he doesn't hit it as well, I'll look for a Hazardus Red shaft and sell the black one.

Got me an 'old man's club'. Paradym 7 wood. On the cheap, of course.😉

Typhoon

Par4QC Thata not an old man’s club anymore. It’s a smart choice. The old school 3 and 5 wood is now a 5 and 7 wood

backinit

Par4QC I used my pxg 2021 0211 7 wood last year way more then I thought I would. It was great on shorter par 4s and often as a second shot on par 5s.

Finally broke down and added my SMT 3390 21 degree/ Accuflex Icon FH to the bag so add me to the geezer list. :/

Thanks, I can have it shipped to my EU address, but exchange rate sucks.

Sneakylong

Haven’t bought a club in awhile and technically I still haven’t with my own money. lol Had $300 in Edwin Watts gift cards so pulled the trigger on one of these.

Picked up some aluminum low temp welding rod yesterday, the goggles I ordered just arrived...
Now I need to go get my aluminum tubing and get comfortable with doing this...

Walterjn

Piece of advice when welding aluminum. Whatever you use to prep the aluminum shouldn’t be a grit or sand based type material/disc. That will embed in the aluminum and contaminate the weld. Use an aluminum abrading bit for a die grinder. If they’re designed for aluminum the bit will be very corse. The steel based bits will be too fine and the aluminum will clog them up.

A set of sticks I have always wanted over the years…they will reside in the “Chuter” tasting room but might have to maybe get hit once…😜😉

backinit I'll never max it out, only got it for 1 specific purpose/distance; using it more like a longer length hybrid actually than a 'wood'. I've used 7w before but never liked the deep faces. Last 2 gens of Callaway have gotten shallower, and the Paradym Smoke is even shallower than the Paradym. But, at $349 it's not much of any steal deal.
Hopefully it fills that gap between 'ordinary/struggling' & 'famous'. 🤣
