I was amazed how many people on r/golf sided with the cheater/attacker here.

If the dude calling out the attacker/cheater is full of shit... I have a feeling that not just the attacker/cheater would have a problem with it.

Solid bullrush though

I'm kind of surprised incidents like that don't happen more frequently at or around the course and clubhouse.
 
Just back from a week with the boys golfing Mesquite, Nevada.
85 miles north of Las Vegas; reasonable $$ ($1400/man- 8days/7 nights in a four man condo including 6 rounds of golf/cart)
Great Golf Courses; hard as nails but amazing. (Wolf Creek was numero uno, but all solid.)
Plenty to do night life with decent casinos/food.
Home Run; def worth the look.
 
I had a wake-up call regarding my equipment last week. I was playing with a friend at his club in Stuart, FL. I didn’t want to lug/ship my clubs, so his club set me up with a loaner set - Adams Blue irons and woods with 55 gram, Lite shaft flex. That’s a senior club. I’m playing irons with an 85 gram, stiff shaft.

I almost said something when they were loading them onto the cart, but I thought, it’s my friend’s club, I’m a guest, don’t want to be a dick. So I just said thanks.

For three days, I hit those clubs better than any I’ve owned for five or six years. Consistency, distance, tragectory. All better. So I’m sixty-three and in the market for new irons. I wouldn’t have believed it.

How's the song go, "I'm as good once as I ever was"? At our age, swallowing our pride and getting new clubs and maybe moving up a set of tees is a well-earned privilege.

I am playing with irons older than some on these boards- Taylormade Bubble Shafts with graphite shafts. I went for a club fitting and they recommended senior shafts for me as well. I probably hit them better, but I was shocked at how short the machine estimated my distance. Approximately 20 yards shorter than I expected.
 
Do you guys have any tips on purchasing used equipment off ebay? I'm looking to upgrade my existing set of no-name/knock off clubs by piecing something together off ebay.

I'm a high handicap golfer, who plays about 12 times per year and I'm thinking about:

Driver - Big Bertha Alpha 10.5 or Aeroburner
Irons - Callaway X hot or Steelhead XR
Woods/Hybrids - probably Adams
Wedges - probably Tom Watson or Cleveland RTX
Putter - Odyssey White Hot Pro

I've purchased pre owned clubs from the ebay stores below and all were in near perfect condition. Highly recommend going this route

https://www.ebay.com/usr/swingpointgolf2014?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2754

You can get some good equipment thats only a year or two old for pretty cheap on Ebay. Just make sure the seller has a good reputation and you should be in good shape.
 
I appreciate the advice and links to ebay sellers. I got a deal on a set of TaylorMade AeroBurner irons that look to be in excellent condition; they should be a nice upgrade over the no-name junk I've been swinging the last few years.
 
Finally getting warm enough to get out and play as much as I like. Ended last golf season playing Cabot Links/Cliffs. Awesome and highly recommend.

Vegas and Scotland golf trips planned this season, plus some day trips to Pinehurst and Eagle Point.

Anyone play #4 since the reno?
