golfworks.com bulk buy - Arrived

[markTHEblake]

Anyone interested in getting some gear from www.golfworks.com (http://www.golfworks.com) and sharing the shipping. South East Qld only.

Golfworks is a great place for brand name shafts and grips, mmmmm KBS shafts:smt060

Our northern cousins (all related apparently) are also getting some gear from Golfworks, and I am doing an add on with them for my humble selection, but it is a hassle getting the stuff back down here, so I thought i would put the feelers out in case there is any local interest.

With the Aussie dollar improving, its a good time for shopping. The freight usually starts at around $35. Will share the shipping pro rata per $ with a minimum of $10

I have pencilled Henno in for a headcover, me for a 39 degree hybrid to replace my 2 iron,

[henno]

I would pay handsomely for a narwhal headcover. =P~

[kwantfm]

rather phallic don't you think?

[andylo]

Mark I would like to get some grips, and possibly a set of KBS Tour 90 shaft.

Thanks

[CobraSS]

After a few grips as well.

MTB - I assume you mean 19 degree? If not I reckon it may be a shortish 2iron you are looking at replacing. ;)

[Scottt]

It's an in-joke...

[kingslayer33]

Ok Scottt. Looks like I just found the thread you were referring to. Amazing how it was another one that had you, and at least one other, with differing opinions. :lol: 4 pages and counting on that thread so far.

My apologies to Mark. I should have know it wasn't really an error.

Can I suggest you go with a 45inch shaft in the 39deg hybrid. ;)

[Dotty]

Can't find a 39* hybrid, but with the Cleveland Niblick, you have the choice between a 37* and a 42*. :)

ROTFL !

[andylo]

Are we still on?

[markTHEblake]

ROTFL !

yeah i can see what you are laughing at, obviously a 39degree hybrid is a poor replacement for 2nd shot on the par 5's, i would be far more accurate with a shaft that is 6 inches longer.


Are we still on?

Yes, are you gunna be more specific? :razz:

Go to the site, and add items to a shopping cart, then copy paste back to me, that way Icant make a mistake. With your spelling and my eyes, you could end up with a transistor radio instead.

I will place order in a week, get them in time for Nudgee Plate, if not sooner.

I would have thought everyone would have been all over these (http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_CC0011_A_cn_E_10032). Imagine being able to change your shaft every round without bribing Perci with beer.

[adlo]

Legal?

[markTHEblake]

Of course! its only against the rules to change a club during the round.

it takes like 10 seconds to remove the shaft, i was with my clubmaker and i hit all these different shafts and hardly had to wait for him to change them.

The only problem is that the shaft has to be cut shorter, so you lose resale *unless* you sell them to someone who is using the same rig. Though you wouldn't have resale concerns if you bought the right shaft in the first place, then you wouldnt have to sell it.

[adlo]

Hmmm

[simmsy]

hmmmm indeed. Might have to have a think about this one!

[adlo]

You might find that extra 10m!

[simmsy]

I reckon i've just about got it with the mizuno mate. definately longer than the xls, mind you the shaft that Virge got for me is excellent too!
Thinking it could be good with this shaft adaptor to be able to play a couple of different shafts depending on circumstances and better than buying a callaway.

I assume you need to cut the tip shorter? so you need to be careful you wont be going to stiff. How much is needed to be trimmed MTB?

[markTHEblake]

How much is needed to be trimmed MTB?

might be a bit of a shock but i dont know everything, but this might help. check the FAQ on their site as well.

[Jono]

Mark, can you get me an impact bag?

http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_S1003_A_cn_E_96

I'm assuming that the bag is not prefilled.

[simmsy]

:shock::shock::shock:

wholly cr@p! I stumped Mark The Blake!!

What do i win?

[henno]

Man, I'd kill for a set of those Tricept F1s. =P~

Do they Amart Allsports in NSW? They carry the Skilz range of golf practice aids, including impact bags, which are cheaper than the Golfworks version. I have one and seems a quality bit of kit.

I haven't seen any Amarts here ... Can you pick one up for me? Give it to me at the Nudgee Plate perhaps? :razz:

[markTHEblake]

Jono, I will find out.

Simmsy, joking aside, I wouldnt suggest anyone buying these Conex things without consulting a clubmaker, the online info is just too vague about exactly what you need, especially as there is two type,s one for fitting the other for play.

[simmsy]

yeah thought the exact thing once reading through the installations leaflet.
Too confusing for my little head worrying about the weights and stuff.
i think i will employ the KISS policy here.

[markTHEblake]

How about Jarro?


Deal.

[markTHEblake]

Mark, can you get me an impact bag?

Yes, the bag is empty deflated, not a problem to include in the order.

let me know.

Anyone else want to buy just one grip? you wont be the only one.

These (http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_WN0041) seem to be popular.

[Jono]

Mark, would it jack up the shipping cost if I ordered a lie board?

http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp_Q_pn_E_MA3011_A_cn_E_39

[markTHEblake]

i can ask, but you have birdie balls dont you? they are better for checking lies.
draw a vertical line on one with ink and hit a ball with it. if its not straight, adjust the lie.

[Jono]

It's not for checking lies. :p

[markTHEblake]

ok - any more special requests before I ask?

[markTHEblake]

Mark, would it jack up the shipping cost if I ordered a lie board?

The original estimate was
Merchandise listed is $591.87 and shipping is $71.08 for a total of $662.95.


Your lie board brings the shipping up to $81.53

That original shipping estimate doesnt include your Impact Bag or another 12 grips, so i am guessing our overall freight is going to hit $90

That also puts our total at AU $999 (roughly)...... so I am thinking that i would rather get something dropped off this order now.

Let me know please.

[moree golfer]

Sounds like I have left my run too late but I wish to buy 2 x Pingman Blackout putter grips (US$4.99 each). I understand you don't want to tip over A$1000 so if some pulls out can I be considered first reserve Mark. I also understand I would need to pick them up from you, no dramas as we are heading to the GC in the next month or so to visit the wife's family.

[andylo]

mg I just pulled out 1/2 the crap I want (not needed) to make rooms for others. Go knock yourself out.

[markTHEblake]

I dont see Pingman but is this what you want?
http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp?pn=PG30404P

[moree golfer]

Thats the grip, 2 of them.

[markTHEblake]

Mg - Done, you are in.

Now that Andylo has cancelled half his order (Christine found out) our order is USD460 plus shipping. I want to limit it to USD600, so room for a few more things.

Grips seem popular.


Will share the shipping pro rata per $ with a minimum of $10

As a bunch of people are only making very small orders like a couple of grips, have revised minimum shared freight to AUD5 (if its something light asfreight is calculated on weight)

[Jono]

Mark, don't worry about my lie board. I'll just go with the impact bag.

[markTHEblake]

Surely you need some grips?
Tricept F1 demo club?

No you cant get a lie/loft machine.:lol:

[Lucasto23]

can i please have one of these

http://www.golfworks.com/product.asp?pn=S1037&c=

item #S1037

[markTHEblake]

If you really wanna fork out over $40 for a couple of rulers , no worries.

fair call, i think i might pass on the fancy rulers

[markTHEblake]

I have just sent all the punters participating in the purchase a Private Forum Message (PM). If you want something and didnt get a PM better let me know.

The order goes in Monday night. I can fit in about $80 more of purchases.

[perci]

Can you get me some practice bags like the ones in Lucastro's Avatar please Blakey?

[markTHEblake]

grab a feel of mine when i come play at nudgee if you like.

[perci]

OK!

[markTHEblake]

Order submitted, should have a freight quote and order confirmation by sparrows.
The online thingy said all items in stock, except the narwahl head cover. Its on backorder, they dont know when they will get them in.

[adlo]

Just get Henno the impaled Koala headcover instead.

[3oneday]

Got tracking yet ?





;)

[markTHEblake]

Shipping cost is US$71, less the AU$23 that Jaybam bought the 10 free TM grips, so thats a good deal for us. Will update you all when the purchase hits my credit card.

They didnt ask for a confirmation this time (they usually do) probably because I had already got an estimate previously. So y'all locked in.

All items in stock so should all arrive in the week leading up to Nudgee Open.

AndyLo please do not park you car outside my house waiting for the postman - I will let you know.

[andylo]

:lol: Okay okay....

[3oneday]

This here yet ?

[markTHEblake]

nope, but the the missus called me to say an a asian couple was parked out front of my house all day, steaming rice, lots of cats and about a 100 divots in my front lawn.

[PeteyD]

White CRV?

[markTHEblake]

Tracking (http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?loc=en_AU&Requester=NOT&tracknum=1Z4919506724328429&AgreeToTermsAndConditions=yes) here, was a slight delay as they had to get a confirmation back to me on one of my items. I asked for a handpicked head for weight and they didnt have one :-(

The charges havent hit my credit card yet, i only have the authorisation, which wont necessarily by the same anyway. By the looks of the amount, i estimate we will be paying roughly a rate of about 0.76. Thats about right, on the day the exchange rate was about .80 and Visa takes their whack of about 2% on the rate, and the bank will hit me for about 2.5%. Its a shame, credit cards used to be amazingly cheap to use on foreign transactions, as you got wholesale rates, now we get raped!

[just]

Is this the prelude to you price gouging us so you can buy more gold?:razz:

[3oneday]

You should get a Wizard Mastercard.

No commission, no grab on rates. 8)

[henno]

International transaction fees?

[3oneday]

None, nada, zip 8)

[henno]

I thought Wizard went the way of the dodo though?

Perhaps the offer doesn't even exist anymore.

[3oneday]

Yeah, maybe although the brand still exists on the Aussie website. Anyway, until they change and insist I close it, it's a handy weapon against inflation 8)

[markTHEblake]

The product is no longer available since GE sold Wizard in Feb, however the cards business were not sold.

AFAIK there is no other card that doesnt have an approx 2.5% foreign currency fee - some are more.

"A QUARANTINE WAS REQUESTED BY A GOVERNMENT REGULATORY AGENCY" :shock:

Swine flu!

[PeteyD]

Bet it has the word Wood in the label.

[markTHEblake]

I have no idea from the tracking page what is happening, but it is still in sydney, and no update since Sunday. it may or may not have passed through the quarantine.


Bet it has the word Wood in the label.

I thought you were joking (i did assume swine flu precautions) then reading the tracking page again, it does seem the quarantine was requested, before it arrived in sydney, so you may be right.

and i think this is the buggar. :roll:

BLACK SINGLE .335 WOOD FERRULE

[moree golfer]

I got a pair of used golf shoes held up in Sydney customs recently and because they didn't have a phone number for me they sent me a letter informing me of my options. I rang them and sorted it out, they cleaned the shoes free of charge and sent them onto me.

[markTHEblake]

All arrived this morning.
Andylo, those black wedge shafts are sexy.

[markTHEblake]

All money paid up, thanks Gents.

see you sunday. you can grab the gear from me after the round.
