What's in YOUR bag?

by little_bit_of_draw Mon 21 Feb 2011, 10:10 am

Morning all,
I'm having a rather slow day at work so thought I'd ask what's in other people's bags? Just being nosey really!! Wink

My titleist stand bag currently contains -

TaylorMade R11 9* Driver with stiff fujikara shaft (custom fit)
TaylorMade R9 3 wood stiff shaft (custom fit)
Ping i15 blue dot 3 - PW irons (custom fit to include 1* upright loft on the toe)
Titleist 52* 56* and 60* vokey wedges
Scotty Cameron studio newport putter
Titleist pro v 1x (summer) Titleist NXT (winter balls)
Galvin Green waterproof jacket and trousers

Was very interested when they asked Fred Couples what he had in his bag, he had 3 different types of super glue, for cuts (think it is to seal the cut). The most surprising thing was, he carries some sandpaper in case his grips get to smooth, now that's a new one me, never heard of that before.

Interesting comment there about Freddie, I know he never uses a glove so grip could be a problem. But is he allowed to sandpaper his grips during the round? Surely that is altering the club and therefore not allowed??

ps.... what is 1 degree of extra loft on the toe??

This is a strange one, he did not say if he done it on the practice ground or during a tournament, I would not think that using a bit of sandpaper to your grip during a round could be classed as altering your club??

Hope someone in the know might be able to answer this one for us.

I would guess that its like having a towel on your bag, its not altering the club, but it does clean it or dry the grip. he may use the sand paper on his glove - oh he doesn't wear one.

If my tackle is chaffing I make an adjustment, it doesn't alter the tackle, just makes it more comfortable :606laugh:

I think Freddie is one of few players who do not wear a glove, so he will no doubt be quite particular about his grips.

by Redrage Mon 21 Feb 2011, 2:54 pm

Anyone else think it would be quite useful to have a' for sale' thread where users can sell or trade the gear they have fallen out with?

by Marcus Mon 21 Feb 2011, 3:01 pm

That's an excellent idea.

I propose that Redrage runs it.

Lol, it only comes out in emergencies...in retrospect I should have had a big slug after 3 putting the 10th!! Given the way I wobbled for the next few holes you probably think I did!!!

Point taken though it was rude of me not to show appreciation your and Broadstones hospitality, next time then Wink

I can't say how the moderation works personally as I wasn't made a mod... But I do know that I would have kept a very close eye on you and your posts. Very dodgy I reckon. :606laugh:

Things are starting to get back to normal now thanks LJ, it's been a hard winter with loads of problems, and I was seriously considering giving the game up. Now I'm back to full fitness (GP has got my migraines under control after 10 years of suffering), got my appetite for the game back and raring to go!

How about you, I read you were changing courses?

by LondonJonnyO Tue 22 Feb 2011, 12:17 pm

Yep. Lots of reasons for it... but at the end of the day I'm not paying 1300 quid + for that place. It's not worth it to be treated as second class to greenfees and people coming in for a sunday lunch.

All I need to do is get down to the new track and register for only 680 a year. It's about five minutes drive further away than the current club so hardly a hassle.

Sounds good about the problems. Work all sorted as well I hope.

by goldwolf Tue 22 Feb 2011, 12:23 pm

Work is still all in the balance, should get a decision within the next 5 weeks. Odds on is that I should be okay, but there will be around 200 going. Whatever happens I've got long service so will be ok for a bit.

This is not the place to get rid of headaches and you'll probably be worse off conversing with LJ :606laugh:
By the way LJ my new Betti' has just landed. Took it out of the packaging and first impressions are really good. I'm liking the honeycombe face, and the hosel and shaft join is a dream. It's the 348g and feels brilliant and well ballanced, so will need to see if I can use it next. A thing of Beauty though and obviously well engineered. I was hoping for a nice discreet white grip Very Happy

by LondonJonnyO Tue 22 Feb 2011, 12:29 pm

Bit dodgy that they've kept it going on for so long... but then if enough people get jobs in the interim period they will save on redundancy payouts.

Cynical but probably something in it

by LondonJonnyO Tue 22 Feb 2011, 12:39 pm

How can you own a putter called Betti?

It sounds like a 75 year old virgin fat bird who works in the local charity shop. Not like a Tiffany. Now that's an exciting name for a putter.

That's my uncles old putter which now lives in his living room to stay nice and warm. I have a newport beach. Which being of californian descent is clearly something smothered in half naked sun kissed godesses. thumbsup

Sounds a little dodgier than that. I would imagine a good basis for a Jimmy Carr joke.

Hey Goldy

With this new site, it's much easier to get in touch with people and post email addresses etc so there are a few get-togethers being arranged if you are interested in any meets? thumbsup
