A day @ the Edwin Watts Superstore.

A little jet-lagged still. Popped by the store while on the way to do some grocery shopping.

Ping Fans, G15 readily available.





Adams Speedline 9132 Drivers:



For the ladies, a Callaway boston bag in the form of the hand bag:



Shoes:



Ogio Diva. Wife loved the bag. Had to buy it:





Ladies Golf clothing heaven.



Chopsticks anyone?



FYI, Hot Stix Golf is just across the fairway from where I am. Will take some time to check them out.

More pics to come as we get settled in.

Titleist 710s will be launched end Sept. Price is expected to be USD$799 for the MBs and $999 for the AP2s.

His home will be stocked with golf gear!

I know how it feels. When I was in the US, that's what all my friends, relatives, colleagues, friends of friends etc did. It was so frequent that the UPS guy knew me by name!

Then perhaps we may even get Frequent UPS Flyer Discount!!

S70B must share with us more pictures of your life & golf there (except in bedroom) eh..
Enjoy!

There will be more to come. Currently, the missus and I are sick due to a lack of sleep during the flight and also trying to combat jet-lag.

PGA National is a golfer's heaven. Will post some pics to show you guys soon.

I can ask during my spare time. Not keen to sound like a crazy bugger to them. Plus, I dun wanna lug bulky stuff for you in the searing heat now.

hwahh so shiok! eh s70b you should have like a seperate 'blog' section for yourself! it'll be really cool! and the sight of all those clubs is making me droooool

get me 2 pair of chopsticks!

my wife has the diva bag in blue... it doesn't really stand well once loaded... quite unstable... but hey, for the ladies, anything that looks good, IS good... haa haa...

that your mustang in the background??

Always wanted to ask, what are the chopsticks for?

it's an alignment aid used to line you up on the range so if your shots go wayward you'll at least know it isn't because you aligned yourself wrongly. and also can be used to whack friends in the rear.

It was a tool invented many centuries ago to aid man in the art of eating. It is still predominantly used within asian socities. (Sorry, couldnt resist it.)

I think what Sunny was asking for is basically 2 long pieces, preferably cylindrical shape, made of plastic like material to be used as a training aid to help in alignment of body at address towards the ball, target practice etc etc... My coach has also found it useful in whacking me with it. At least it is better than him using golf clubs...

s70b nice post

I have never stepped into a golf (super)store in US before, and looking at the pictures it is gonna be a tourist attraction for me.. i think i'll spend the entire day there!

There are slightly more and better stores in Southern California when I was based there last year. However, the golf courses seem to be more around here. It also helps that most of the top players in the world reside here including TW and EE.

My wife carries very few clubs...2 woods, 2 hybrids, 5 irons and 1 putter. I think the bag can take that. She likes the handle on top of the clubs compartment which also look very 'bling bling'.

Still sick. Maybe I will visit Golfsmith later on today. I know their prices are slighly higher but their selection is also equally vast.

wah so envy......

wow...envy envy...

Being to golfsmith few time and quite like their stuff there, and on and off, they had some discount/sales for clubs..can keep a look out as well

Can help me to get the chopstick ?....hehe

Btw, how much did you pay for the Divas ? very nice color, did not see that color in Singapore. I'm also looking to buy Ogio stand bag, still couldn't find a suitable one yet...

cheers !!

Went back to Edwin Watts today to get my wife fitted for her set of ladies X22 irons. At least you can order them 1/2" shorter than std ladies and 2* flat at no extra surcharge.

Found some interesting stuff while I waited:

Ping Karsten 50th Anniversary Putters. I only dig the grips.


Rife IMO Trainer putter. Looks more like a meat tenderizer.




JT, the A7 is so-so in feel only. You will find better irons elsewhere.


Went down to Golfsmith today. Was a letdown though although the store was much bigger than EW.

Saw the new i15 driver on display:


Overall, I must say that Florida has a lot less choices in terms of golf equipment compared to California but it should suffice me nicely.

California where ah?

I will be heading up there in a couple of weeks. Want to prep myself for it...

You tell me where you are going then I tell you la.

SD to SF is like 8hr drive le. (if there are no jams)
