[LUconn]

I got all my bags upon my return to Dulles minus my golf clubs. I went through all the jargon at the desk and should have them FedExed by today. Has this happened to any of our frequent travelers here? It's my first time. Can I expect them when I get home or is some baggage handler most likely getting in 18 holes today with my equipment?

[BJWilliams]

When I went to Boston in the 8th grade I actually didn't get one of my bags til the next Monday (we had returned on a Thursday night). It wasn't golf clubs like youre LUConn but it did have a lot of my clothes in it (and some other personal effects from the trip). I still had plenty of other clothes at home so I was able to manage without it until the bag arrived from Boston.

[LUconn]

It does have a pair of shoes in the bag but they're not mine so I'm getting along fine without them.

[RubberMallet]

ahhhh that was fun...

but anyways, no i don't have that problem...i fly in this :

[LUconn]

and it would have taken you 10 hours to where I got in 3.

I took the golf class at LU. I picked up the worst habbits I have in that course.

So your a bitter pilot who has been frisked a few to many times......got it. Let me guess you also like to carry water bottles with hidden compartments and feel everyone will love you no matter what you do?

[Sly Fox]

Bags after sent to the wrong airport more often than the airlines care to admit. I usually get my bags within a day or two.

[HenryGale]

If your clubs fail to arrive, just remember, you had brand new Ping irons....

i'm actually the happiest guy in the world as i'm driving to the airport and i see all the miserable people driving to the terminal....and i just started flying and don't have my solo....i've only logged 10 hours so far as i've just started....luckily 3 of the people i work with have their instrument ratings and 2 have their instructors so i get the training for next to nothing...

oh and this was terribly weak...back to the drawing board

[jcmanson]

Luconn, ever watched Meet the Parents?!

[RubberMallet]

its not that easy.....they'll probably end up screwing him in the end...depending on the airline

[LUconn]

crap, this thread just reminded me I didn't get them yesterday. Now I've to got do all sorts of phone calling.

[RubberMallet]

more importantly, what kind of clubs..

[LUconn]

it's a set of Affinity. Medium flex carbon fiber shafts (just got them extended 1.5 inches finally). Some junk putter that I hate.

[RubberMallet]

my putter is approx 20 years old....its an old dunlop....i'm just so consistant with it its not even funny....i've tried em all too...i might just use it forever...

i'm currently looking for a 3 wood....i have an older adam's tight lies and a Callaway steelhead 3 wood but neither of them impress me a whole lot....i rarely ever use a 3 wood so its not that big of a deal though...i hit my 3 iron around 215-225 on the roll..

[PAmedic]

MALLET: TaylorMade fairway woods are the ticket, bro

you'll love 'em

I play a 3 off most tees and the 5 outta the fairway/light rough. Also good for around the greens or punch out shots from the trees (I spend a lot of time there, when not on the beach)

also, I switched from the Carbite ceramic insert putter last year to a White Hot eurythane insert (both mallet styles) and love it. Better feel and distance control.

both cost me @ 150

[PAmedic]

PS: I leave the driver, 3 and 4 irons at home. Can't hit 'em

also, have ALL steel shafts: overswing the graphite

[Libertine]

PS: I leave the driver...at home.

That's b/c it's as tall as you are.

[RubberMallet]

i completely have to have x shafts or steel shafts....

i'm 275-285 normally on drives...every once in a while i poke 300+....i had a callway steelhead 9deg that i used to use that had a steel shaft. i would poke it a good ways with it....then i broke the shaft and the old guy at church put an 85X graphite free of charge on it. and it was stiff enough for me at least i have enough control to.

i'm straight steel on my irons...if i need extra distance with an iron i just go up a club.

like i said, i rarely use my 3 wood. the only time is a few courses that have par 5's that the first fairway ends at 260-270 yds....so i have to use a 3 wood twice.

[PAmedic]

I'm too handsy and don't get good shoulder turn so my distance suffers.

(that sounds awful when I read it out loud)

Did you really just post that? I mean, really?

Did you want all of us to rip on you?
