Pros don't play Bridgestone balls because they perform well...they play them because of the endorsements. Matt Kuchar disagrees with you...of course, it's possible he's reading off a teleprompter or cue cards: www.facebook.com/bridgestonesports/videos/1467996989936245/Instead of playing on Jeju Island, he's playing in Japan's Bridgestone Open. The first round was washed out, reducing the event to 54 holes. ****** Earlier in the week, I dropped by a couple of private courses to check out their pro shops for off-season bargains that might interest me (there weren't any)...Springdale GC and Cherry Valley CC. Bridgestone was the 2nd most popular ball after Titleist among the sleeves displayed at the checkout counter at both places. My last stop was a public course I know well, Mattawang GC. Callaway has their hooks into them for balls and clubs, but Bridgestone was 2nd among the balls. They had nothing I wanted, although a used or tested Bridgestone J40 Black Oxide 58 wedge with 6.5 shaft caught my attention...they wanted $50. I think TaylorMade balls are much more at risk of getting dropped from the market, although I like them. ******* The Rocket has nothing to do this week except look good. https://www.instagram.com/p/BaZKxH0lboT

Phil I'm surprised they didn't give you the hairy eyeball when you walked into the privates.
What are you looking for? How's your XTD driver experiment going?
Did I mention I bought a set of 4-PW Adams XTD A Tours with KBS Tour regular for $139 on Global Golf Canada....the issue was they had 94gm counter balanced Lamkin grips with 6 layers of tape...WTF. I found a deal for Royal grips for $1.45 each at Golfworks Canada. So I have 2 sets of irons for $300....$160 for my Mizuno JPX 825 Pros.
My current bag = $340.....3 wedges & putter = free.....I'm not a good WRX club ho.
I think your best bet for deals is on-line, Craigslist or eBay.

Once a woman finds some LUVING....they are happier.....Cold Fish has been playing well since dating Kevin McAlpine. Look at Bam Bam...she seems so happy since marriage. But once a women get married...they always put up a "NO TRESPASSING" sign up after the 6 month honeymoon...just sayin.

Phil I'm surprised they didn't give you the hairy eyeball when you walked into the privates. What are you looking for? How's your XTD driver experiment going? The way golf is these days, I don't think a private course can turn their nose up to anyone walking into its pro shop. Not really looking for anything, although I noticed one of the eyelets on my Adidas 360 3.0 shoes is broken...had 'em for 8 years, maybe it's that time. I have played very little this year, but started making up for that today...dropped by Bunker Hill GC this PM. Regarding the Adams XTD driver, I choked down at least one inch on the grip and hit the center of the clubface a lot more than normal...I lost no balls off the driver. It was all my sucky approach shots that were the main problem! Hit several nice 56-wedge flop shots around the green and no skulls/shanks! I had one birdie, two pars, and seven bogeys...the rest we don't talk about! BTW, my best drive of the day was a tiny power cut down the left side of #3...used a Nike One Rzn ball, which had a nice feel until I lost it at #8. Good price you got for the Adams irons...everybody was trying to dump them for cheap at last winter's golf show. ******* Christina Kim at Top Golf this week... https://www.instagram.com/p/BaczYxnloro ...and she spotted Mannika two stalls over. https://www.instagram.com/p/BackUASl8pT
