I like this 13th hole at Austin

I gotta check in on this tournament. Haven't seen a minute yet. Wish it were earlier in the season still

This course is pretty cool looking....

Couple questions if I may--what kind of drivers do you guys use? Stiff/flex shaft? Loft?

I got a used Cleveland 588 one last year (2014). Regular flex shaft. The pro at the range I go to suggested it for me. At the time I was still starting out and my swing speed probably isn't as fast as it is now. I feel like I hit my 3 wood TaylorMade SLDR better and further, sometimes even not teed up. It's a stiff shaft that I bought on my own a couple years ago before I met with the Pro. Just feel like I always hit the SLDR cleaner than my driver. Has that better sound, you know?

Anyway, thinking of upgrading the driver. Any suggestions? My friend said he heard the Titlelist 913 was good. I'm also fond of the TaylorMade's....

I hit a Callaway FT-iz. 10.5 loft, regular. Funny looking but I am on my second one and it feels good.

Unless you have crazy swing speed, you probably don't need stiff, but yeah, go with what feels right.

One more thing I'll add. Whatever you decide to get, look for last years model of the same club. You'll easily save $200.

Yes! Always always always buy a model at least 1 year old. Never buy the latest equipment.

New Callaway driver does look sick though

Friggen love the aggressive putts in match play

Reed putting a smack down on Phil

Rock bottom golf and eBay are two awesome places to get great deals if you figure out what you want.

I buy balls off eBay every year and I am set for the season
