A valuable lesson from a $10 driver

Some of the discounted golf stuff I recently bought at Sports Authority included a $10 Ram driver. I know what you're thinking: you get what you pay for, right? I'll admit I had my doubts, too. But after breaking it in at a Greensboro driving range over the weekend, I was amazed at how well I drove the ball.

Just about every drive reached or went over the fence. Some smacked into trees beyond the fence. Yes, hitting balls at the driving range isn't the same as teeing off at a golf course with people waiting and watching, maybe a little beer money on the line.

But I was never this consistently good with my old driver, on or off the course.

Then I remembered that Visa commercial where the guy's playing awful so he keeps blowing huge amounts of money on golf equipment. Priceless.

I glad you like yours. I found the shaft a little soft for my swing. Good trading material. Keep on the look out for golf equipment. So far folks I know have spent a few $ on the tip from you.
Thanks again. Doug
