I wasn't sure where to post this but here goes... Annual vacation to Martha's Vineyard is coming up next month with wife, son, brother in law, sister in law and all the cousins (about 15). Imagine a hot beach cottage with no a/c, no cable t.v. and the least expensive golf option is $185 a round. Plus, I don't really get along with anyone (in-laws!) so I don't want to go and I don't want to stay home either.
Instead, I want to book a solo trip to Scottsdale for a couple of days. I have an opportunity for the ultimate PING fitting plus 4-5 rounds of golf at places like TPC, Boulders, Troon North & Grayhawk. I would get there Tuesday morning and have all day to play, Wednesday morning is the fitting and then the rest of the day to play, all day Thursday to play and then my flight is at 10pm and I would get home on Friday morning.
With some creative bargain shopping, I got it down to $477 for air, hotel and car. Then there are things like Uber to/from the airport, gas for the rental car, checked bag fees, 3 meals a day (Dunkin Donuts, Subway & Chipotle), golf and of course souvenirs! So I am ball-parking $1000+ total.
I have an all PING bag now and I'm just looking to fine tune things a bit to make sure I have the right clubs for me. I hear there is a new i210 and iBlade coming soon, Glide 3.0 wedges and I would like to try the Blueprint & LST. I know for a fact already that I am losing a lot of distance with the driver and irons.
My only hesitations are what if they can't improve my numbers and is it worth the money for a couple of days? Is it possible that a particular OEM just won't work for someone?
Thanks!
