Where does everyone get their balls from?

Thinking about getting some from here http://www.golfclearanceoutlet.com.au/ along with a few other bits and pieces. Has anyone used them before?

I've been into the shop there at the moment 'the golf locker' they have the balls I use for $39 a dozen compared to $29 at the clearance website (however there is $11 flat postage).

Started on ebay which is how I found the site. The postage doesn't bother me because if I get a few dozen along with some gloves/shirts etc it will work out as the postage is still $11 on the total order. Plus beats driving from the hills down to south rd.

Only one way to find out if their dodgy or not.

Woodworm 3wd (soon to be r11)
Woodworm 19* hybrid
Woodworm 5-PW
Maxfli 60* wedge
Some god awful dunlop 2 ball putter (next upgrade)

I have used the golf clearance warehouse a few times online and never had a problem. You might want to also try Squizzys or Golf Ball Busters (just for balls).

Anyone interested in being a caddie??
Kiwis are looking for interested people to go and caddie in their NZ PGA Championship.
Would be a super opportunity and says you just need a bit of golf knowledge.
80 pros and 80 amateurs
Think have to pay own way but surely would get paid for doing the job
Just thought would throw it out here just in case someone wanted to

I caddied at the SA Open years ago for Ossie Moore, awesome experience watching the players that close up.
I'm number 1, so why try harder!!

Yeah you would think so.....
Even I have considered it just because rors has them
Love the man, he has everything, the money, the personality, the girl
Not off to a good start with new clubs but he did have times late last year where his game was this bad with his old clubs. Think he may just be a bit burnt out. So much golf and gym. May need to just take a step back, miss a few tourneys and relax a bit more. IMO

Anyone seen the new release Odyssey Versa putters?? Thoughts??
I personally think the new black & white colour scheme is great.
That will be the next thing in the bag for me
Hoping to get the Versa #7
Not sure what combination yet black/white/black or white/black/white

Rory has a big job looking after the Woz and playing golf - who cares about the label on the equipment?

Beware of this because the deals that offer free freight often are the knock off counterfeit clubs.

Well got distracted and forgot to order my 25 year service gift so went to do it last week and noticed they have updated the models to 2013 releases.

Now have a Taylormade R1 on its way to me, with adjustable loft, face and shape. The driver I was going to order was $200 in the shops, this baby is $350 :lol:

Cant wait to get it, hoping is arrives this week as Im playing at Pt Hughes on Sat.

Has anyone purchased shafts separately and had a go at constructing their own clubs?

Had a discussion with a playing partner today and asked about the specifics of my driver. Suggest I change to a stiff shaft and see how that goes.

I have a R11 so it seems easy in theory to change shafts.
