5000 posts and I'm 1/4 of the way to catching ETH!

I couldn't think of anything else to post, so I'm going to show off the only thing I can ever remember winning.

I played in a vendor sponsored golf tournament yesterday and my team came in 3rd. However, due to the way that the tournament was flighted we got jack shit. Even the team that came in dead last with an [b]85[/b] (in a four man scramble) won some pro shop money!

Then afterwards there was a raffle and I got the grand prize. A new TaylorMade R580 driver worth $399. Yesterday was the luckiest day in my life.

No. I'd call it carbon fiber, but I'm sure that they have a fancier name for it.

580cc's?  Holy shit, you'll need to start working out.  You might also want to get some 140 compression balls.  The normal 100's will scream in submission when you wind up with the monster. [:D]

I'll stick to my Orlimar and Hawkeye.

Congrats! I won a gun a couple of years ago, it's the only thing I've ever won. It feels great!

No....it's only 330cc head. R580 is just the model. I'd never play with something that big. I like playing golf not being the circus freak of the course. [:)]

That's good the rest of the companies have been using the model to designate the head size.

circus freak?  [lol]

Yeah....I've got a good friend that owns a sporting goods store so he obviously gets all kinds of weird stuff. He brought out a 500cc driver once when we were playing. It looked like a turtle on a stick, like he had impaled a turtle with a broken shaft. And it sounded like an aluminum baseball bat hitting a home run when he tee'd off.

I'm just glad that his bag was on another cart so nobody thought that it could possibly be my club.
