    Well, I finally made it.  365 rounds for the year.

    But like everything, it came with a price.  Flu twice (Feb and Oct), Cold (March) Knee (June and Nov), elbow (still have pain), both thumbs and both shoulders.  But hey, I'm not complaining!  I'm still swinging.  Nothing compared to having my complete pelvis crushed in a hit and run when I was 20 and was told I would never walk again, let alone play golf or even live.  (I was given the last rites!)

    To top it all off, I played my last two rounds today with a complete, brand new set of 14 clubs after being fitted last week.

    913 Driver, Fairway and Hybrid.  714 AP2's, 3 new Vokey SM4's, and a brand new dual balance, Futura X.

    Thanks to all my friends at Team Titleist for your support this year.

    Going to celebrate tomorrow with my mom over Sunday brunch then try to get in another 36 before sunset!

    Happy Holidays to all of you and yours!

    P.S. The photo still has the wrapper on the clubs I was too excited to take them off!  Ha!

    Hey Chris!

    Yes, they were fairly worn.

    Bought an entire new set a year ago after getting fit at TPI in Oceanside.

    It was the absolute greatest golfing experience ever.

    A local fitter was available at my club a week or so ago and I couldn't resist.

    14 new clubs!

    LOVE THEM!  

    Can't wait for the 915 metals and SM5 Vokeys!

    Keep up the great work for 2014 and hope to see you at the T.T. event next year!

    Hey, David!

    Thanks so much!

    I did take the plastic off, although it killed me the clubs are so beautiful!

    Love looking at them and hitting them!

    714's are by far the best irons Titleist has ever produced.

    Happy 2014 to you and yours!

    Hey, Ron!

    Thank you so much!

    I can't tell you how much I LOVE the new 714 irons.

    Congrats man that's awesome!!!!  My back is sympathy jealous and hurting just thinking about your 365!!  How do you like the new putter?  That is the last thing that I can't bring myself to switch to is my old mallet putter.  I think this might be the putter to bring me back since I had a Futura Phantom in the past.  Great accomplishment!

    Dan,

    The Future X, Dual balance is simply amazing.

    You have to try it out at your local golf score.

    It really is fantastic.

    Let the putter do the work and it will work for you.

    Soft hands, buddy!

    Thanks for the wishes and best to you and yours this coming year!
