Christmas Already?!

Of course its not, it was 2 months ago...but around the office you would have thought otherwise. Its been years since a lot of us here in the office have changed golf equipment...the fact is none of us really get to play as much golf as you might think. The old adage, "If you want to play golf, don't get into the golf business.", is true in a lot of respects, but we do get our time to shine out on the links every once in a while. Until now I've been able to use the excuse of, "The only reason I played so badly is the clubs. I mean they were made back in the early 80's", for which we all know is a completely invalid excuse. The fact is its most of the time always going to be the Indian, not the arrow, but in golf, I think having a new arrow every once in a while pays off. It feels as if golf club manufacturers have been secretly conversing with cell phone providers. Let's make the newest greatest thing on the market, and in four months lets replace it with an even better product....and then lets change that products color and call it a "pro series". To keep up with technology is something that not even the Jones' can do, but oh do they keep all of our eyes anxiously awaiting "the next best thing".

So I guess 2009 has officially been our year of change here in the office in regards to golf equipment, our feeble attempt to keep up with the Jones'. I would almost say it has taken a domino effect. One person gets this club, and that causes the other guy to think, "Man I want that!". Then someone else gets a set of this or that, and that sparks an excitement in someone else ...you know the drill. It would be a safe bet to say that this is typical behavior around most offices around the world, especially those in and around the game of golf.

So I know your asking, "What did you all get?". I'll lay it out in the said domino effect that took place! Maybe in the future weeks and months we can all write some reviews on how the new sticks are working out for us.

Matt gets his new Victory Reds!

Steve Mac get his new Tour Preferred Irons!



David then gets his new Callaway X Forged Irons



along with his new FT9 Driver


Steve Mac then decides on the Burner TP's



Nate and myself then catch a little of the "Man I want that!" bug that I discussed earlier. For some its easy to suppress this feeling, but I would venture to say for 99% of all warm blooded males... its a battle that's not worth fighting. Simply put its a case of, "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme".

Nate decides on the Mizuno MP67's


along with the new Titleist 909 D3 driver




And Finally.....

I chose the TaylorMade TP MB Smokes





and the new Cobra S9-1 Pro S







So there's a glimpse into our February X-mas! Needless to say we are all ready for Mr. Spring to finally warm us up so we can confidently stroll out to the course. Now I'm not saying records are going to be set...all I'm saying is there is a group of young Indians, ready to unleash a few new arrows!
