He was the cheapest around for the buggy including online.
He did mention that with the change in the dollar the new shipment may be around the $360 mark.

I did see them at The Vines for $320 , not sure if they're still there or not as I haven't been looking...


Yeah if I can get near $300 it is happy days. They aint cheap but the small size folded up has me convinced!

Grabbed one of those ball shagger bags, where you just press down on the ball and it springs inside the chute.
Made life easy collecting balls on the range the other day, they hold about 75.
Paid just under $39 at Drummond for it, using a $10 voucher they sent me plus the member discount.

$50 voucher

Added a box of the multi- coloured Callaway supersport.
I've found them to be a good ball and hopefully the colour helps me in the bushes.
And a 6 pack of grade 1 Pro V1. Never used them and thought why not?

I've never had a good round using the Titleist Pro V1's. It's probably because I'm shit at golf and they're for the pro's :lol: . Love the Srixon QStar and don't shoot me down here, but I always seem to hit em well when I'm using the Optima TS.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

Nothing wrong with Q Stars......I've just started to dabble in Pro V1's but my handicap is within striking distance of single figures, well that's how I justify the extra expense!

I like the Q stars also.
But have hit the Callaway Supersoft quite well and well the Pro V is just a test, and at 18 I'd like to think single figures are just around the corner...

Anyone on here used the Drummond Golf MiMatch system when buying new clubs and if so would you recommend it?
Play off 15 and looking to upgrade sticks and thought might invest in this technology..

Can definitely recommend it. Used it when I got fitted for new sticks last year. Takes about an hour IIRC.
Couldn't be happier with the feel & comfort of my new clubs.

I don't trust their golf simulators for a second. Get on a range and test them on grass

House of Golf had a sale on today.

Popped in after work just to have a gander.
Nothing really caught my eye.

Salesman asks me if I need a hand.

'Nah, just looking'

Then a minute later asks me what clubs I use etc... goes on to bag them etc...
And i just laughed and said mate im a hacker off 15.... and they have helped me reduce my handicap.

Then mentions some rubbish about lie angles and pats his fat belly as he says you have that to swing around.....
In my head im like.... mate im not as fat as you, but i am a fat **** and secondly i dont swing around it....

I was in store for a total of 6.75 minutes.

As for the sale....even after sale price you get cheaper elsewhere....
