I appreciate the encouragement. I'm getting my game in shape for June, so I'm going to play in as much as I can. I'm getting all of my new equipment into play and need more course time. But, with 9 lessons yesterday and 8 today, time seems to be a limited commodity.
Anybody know the location of a range in Atlanta that has lights and is open until midnight?
Go Luke Go! New equipment? Whats in the bag these days?
P.S. The only place I can think of is the Marietta Golf Center....great place, not sure how late its open though. I know its open when its extremely cold and during rain storms though, so late night wouldnt surprise me.

Ball:
I've changed balls thanks to Jeff Hull and his connections at Bridgestone. I'm playing the B330. They also sent me a Tour bag, which I call my NASCAR bag, because you can't find another possible location for a logo. So, I'll be on ball, bag, glove, and hat staff. http://www.bridgestonegolf.com/product/balls/tour-b330
Irons:
I'm playing the 5-PW in the Mizuno MP 53's, the newer version of the irons I played last year. The irons are amazing, and the new model is much better in the longer irons, where the cavity has been improved. http://www.mizunousa.com/golf/produc...-53-golf-irons
Wedges:
I had to change to the MP T-11, 52, 56, and 60. It's the new version of what I played last year. The only difference is the legal grooves, to comply with the rule change. http://www.mizunousa.com/golf/produc...-11-golf-wedge
Fairway Woods and Hybrid:
I feel like a kid at Christmas. I have my tracking number for my new woods to be delivered tomorrow by UPS. I'll be playing the new Mizuno JPX 800 15 degree 3 wood, 18 degree 5 wood, and 19 degree hybrid. My rep. came to my place last week and let me hit the new product. I was impressed to say the least. Mizuno has been hot and cold with their woods. As a result, I played the Tour Edge Exotic CB2 fairway woods for a long time. The new Mizuno woods are the best I've seen. There was no question that they were going in the bag, and the Tour Edge were Ebay'ed. http://www.mizunousa.com/golf/catalog/woods
Putter:
I'll be buried with my custom Bettinardi. It's 33 1/2 inches long, 74 degrees (4 up), and 395 grams. It was a custom belly putter head made for J.B. Holmes. But, I use the head on a short putter shaft. I wanted the weight, top and back lines, the upright lie, the face grooves, and the face balancing. And, he made it precisely like I wanted.
Driver:
My only question is which driver will be in play. I've been sent a Taylor Made R11 9 degree with a Diamana 'ahina, stiff shaft. I've used it, and it's very good. My other option is the Mizuno JPX 800 9 degree with a Grafalloy Axis, stiff shaft. The demo felt great but the shaft didn't match my loading. So, we're trying the Axis. I've been offered $1000 to play one of them, but the money doesn't matter. If one is better than the other, it will be in the bag.
Ok, so the Bag, Hat, Glove etc, All of your clubs, you thought of everything.
Nice Hat.
That Bag has a "Heart Defibrillator" compartment.
What about the Spikes?
Good Luck Ted. You're the Best.
I did hold back comment on the winner between Fruit of the Loom versus Haynes, since we may have women and children present.
The bag has a great Bose sound system and an I-Pad compartment. It's cool when you press the button on the remote control and the club shoots out. I asked Bill Murray to caddy for me, and we're presently in contract negotiations.
