I have to assume they are fakes.

The clubs are probably pretty good quality. But if you don't want counterfeits, I would cancel the order.

ps.
I checked the golfwarehouse, and this set is $899 there.

Couldn't you call them and ask for a serial # and cross check it with titleist?

Or you can accept the clubs and then sue them for deceptive trade practices.

I emailed my rep about this site.
They also have fake Cameron putters, and who knows what else.

bragged yesterday about getting to play shadow creek with my dad...unfortunately we got rained on and basicly rained out. retired after 9. (shot gun start on #13...we played 13 through 2 and then 4 and 5 (or something of to that effect).

the service there was impeccable and the course was in wonderful shape. hopefully next time my dad comes into town we will get to play it when its not 40 degrees outside and raining.

Hit up the golf show this afternoon. More vendors than last year, hope that's a good sign for the local economy.

I found myself wishing I needed some new equipment - one outfit was selling FT-5 I-Mix models with high end shafts for $99.

Settled for a new pair of Eccos.

Hate watching golf swings on youtube. But I gotta think you are working on getting that left arm a little lower and squaring the face up up top.

What GolfTec are you going to? Whose your teacher?

Very impressive, especially considering 2 mos. off.

To nit pick:

Posture at address could be a little taller, little less knee bend.
I think an improvement would be to have your right leg at address more like it is at the top of your backswing. Maybe an inch or so less knee bend.

Ball position could be an inch or so more forward.
I'd like to see you a little better behind the ball at the top, and a little more lateral hip movement starting the downswing.

I suspect, however, that this isn't what you're working on.
You're swing is very rotational (some would say "one plane") and I don't think you've achieved this without working very hard at specifically doing this.

Clubhouse restaurant decided to open last night, normally closed in the winter - met up with some neighbors down there and after a few beers we came to the conclusion that we should fly to either Tampa or Orlando next Thursday and play at least 4 rounds of golf before flying back on the weekend. Four feet of snow in a week makes the brain go something something.

Will only be my second time ever in Florida, went down for Phillies spring training in 2008, played some great golf - hoping for a repeat next week.

Just read about the changes there are to be made on my local course for the coming season. Adding 150 yds and making a few holes more existing (and easier for me to play ). Winter go away now!

I'm also sick of winter. Our greens are covered, and the club is dead.
Can't wait for warm days and birdies.

Actually I meant existing as you can see from this picture on the club homepage. 18th green looking back towards the tee.

But yeah, I haven't put my fingers on the right way today, I guess

after hitting a couple thousand balls in my garage throughout the winter i went to the golf dome today because i wanted to see some balls in flight...in the garage i've been hitting off a turf mat that is ~1 inch above my feet, is it possible that messed up my swing because i was absolutely horrible at the dome?

anytime i took a full swing with my 7 iron (usually my favorite club) it was a mix of straight up shanks and low weak slices, everything was coming off the heel. SW wasn't much better and the few swings i took with a 3 hybrid were awful

was so excited about the season and now i'm scared that i ****ed myself by hitting off that damn mat

PSA: Anyone wondering what happened to the thread about leatherass' generous offer to let other people pay for his golf, it has been reported and removed from the forum.

ya all about posture and I'm a little open in my hips and/or appear to not have enough weight on my left side. The second part is a fairly chronic problem that I cannot seem to break unless I practice a ton with only that thought in mind, otherwise I always creep back to having a little too much weight on my right side at address. I get a lot of turn and rotation and when I setup the incorrect way I tend to get too far off the ball. You can see in this swing I kind of labored to get to impact and ended up pretty much throwing the club at the ball.

A little more level at address, better posture, cuts down a bit on my backswing motion and I'm able to trap it much more. Hopefully I'll go in again soon and get you an after look of the better motion.
