NCC South Riding Golf Outing

Scottz71 · 05-29-2008, 10:17 AM

NoVA guys, I plan to hit the driving range tomorrow for lunch. Going to Dulles Golf off Rte 28 in Sterling...anyone want to meet up??

Let me know.

See you all Saturday, watch out for misguided golf balls.

Maybe if I park my car in the right place I can get insurance to cover my hood repaint

Just off of Golf View Dr - close enough to see the course out the back windows but not be a golf course home w/all the extra BS the HOA requires

Its not uncommon to find golf balls in the common area behind us.

that sucks, what did you get?

45ACP · 05-30-2008, 11:30 AM

I was using a TM R5 and upgraded to a Cleveland Hibore XL, but didn't care for the latter after a few outings. So now I am going with an R7 SuperQuad with adjustable weight configuration. Price has dropped to $299 at Golf Galaxy and Golfsmith, but I was able to get it for $225 elsewhere. I tried a friend's Burner (non-tour model) but it didn't seem to have a noticable advantage over my old R5. Also thought about the Ping G5, but I just like the feel and sound of TMs.

Scottz71 · 05-30-2008, 12:04 PM

went to the sterlnig range for lunch today to try out my new driver...taylor made r7 ti driver...also still going to carry the ping G2 until I can hit the TM with consistency. The TM is a 9.5 loft and I'm hitting low bullets that go farther than the high-fading 11.5 loft on the ping...but I think I am still making better contact w/ the ping...we'll see...

Scottz71 · 05-30-2008, 12:05 PM

BTW I got mine from TGW.com, they're the best on-line golf outlet...great stuff, best prices, and so far good customer sat.

tman · 05-30-2008, 12:45 PM

I got a new Nike SQ Sumo2 coming, but I won't get it until I go to Canada.

Will have to use my existing TM R580.

pseto · 05-30-2008, 12:57 PM

wow, everybody got new drivers this year. you should have come to see me, I work PT at Golf Galaxy and fit people for clubs all the time.

I live right next door to the place and only work there for the discounts

although between my cars and golf, I seem to be broke all the time...

45ACP · 05-30-2008, 05:12 PM

I want to replace my G/S/L wedge set with Titleist Vokeys. Can you get me a better deal than the $99/club price I can find online???

I never find good prices on TGW. There's a half dozen other places where I find better bargains.

dude, i need irons....i HATE my current hand-me-down clubs...

So how about that rain storm?

pseto · 05-31-2008, 07:02 PM

Well, mother nature took its toll today and we were rained out

As the first group out, I was able to finish 2 holes, but ended up taking cover from the rain/lightning in the tunnel on the way to hole #3. Some of you guys probably stayed dry

We have re-scheduled the golf outing to Sat, July 19th, same place, same time. Unfortunately thats the only weekend I had free over the next 2 months due to other commitments. I will keep everyone's check assuming you can make the new date. If you can not, please PM me, and I'll refund your money (this may open the door for others who may like the new date).

Great to meet a bunch of new faces and hopefully you can make it out to our other events as well (Tyson's social next Thur).

tman · 05-31-2008, 09:18 PM

Shame it was cancelled. The weather turned out okay soon after they called everyone back in. oh well.

try eBay, there's usually pro shops looking to get rid of stock. even though the vokeys are good wedges, the Cleveland cg12 and cg14 are both better clubs because they have bigger grooves than the vokeys. bigger grooves = more spin, and you can find better deals on Cleveland stuff.

if you can't find anything cheap on eBay for the Clevelands, let me know

yep, we take trades but you wont get much. you're better off trying to sell on ebay or craigslist. what kind of 3w?

there are a ton of really good iron sets out there. i'm getting ready to get the new TM tour burners. been hitting them at least a half a club longer than my current set and i never complain about how far i hit my irons.

if you want to come on in, i can fit you for a set. same offer goes to anyone else out there.

i still find better deals on ebay overall than using my discount. its just a matter of getting fit for the right set of clubs and then looking online to find the best price.
