Christmas Treat

Well it's the time of the year where I start to think about new equipment. Once again a new driver is on the top of my shopping list. I've been resisting the urge to get a new driver due to the fact that I've been hitting my drives fairly well. So why change? Well I'm curious about what the new technology in drivers can do and I've scored myself a new job so a treat for that would be nice :)

Some sticks on my radar:

* Callaway X460 - Pretty traditional shape and easy on the eye.
* Callaway i3 - Good performance according to some reviews, and it has been superseded so I might be able to pick one up for cheap
* Cobra L4
* TaylorMade Burner or R7 CGB

I've usually struggled with hitting big headed drivers due to it just not looking right in my eyes. It was probably all in my head anyway. So I'll hopefully get to try some out over the next few weeks to get an idea of what is out there.

Freeby

I've got another game with the club tomorrow... but this time it's free. Courtesy of the club... as long as I turn up to the AGM on time. They are providing a free game for everyone that turns up to the annual meeting.

As for the state of my golf game... the last game I played at Burswood Park was a shocker. I lost 4 balls .. and 3 of them were on one hole. But I'm still quietly confident about tomorrow.

Christmas time is coming around again, and the wife has suggested that I get myself something golf related as a treat. The usual thoughts of a new driver or a set of irons come to mind. hmmmm.... lots of possibilities. I'll see how my game goes this weekend ... if my driving is shocking then a driver might go to the top of my list. :)
