Where oh where has my club head gone?
Yesterday was a big day for Kyongdo, he was getting a set of clubs. I met up with him along with Josh and his friend Ester at Golf Galaxy to help pick out some clubs. Initially K wanted to get just a used driver but I convinced him to get a set of used irons. We looked for a while and tested quite a few clubs and finally decided on a pre-owned set of Titleist DCIs. These babies are NICE irons which I've played with before. Intially K wasn't very enthusiastic about it, until I found out that there was 20% which made me want to get that set as well. After a some bitching, I decided to just let him have it because he needs it more than I do. Besides, my Sam's Club brand golf clubs from middle school are still kickin' ass. So we were excited to try out these "new" irons and went to the nearest driving range to do so. First ball I hit was with his 7, solid, straight and very nice angle. I did it with the 5 without any problems either. Finally it came to testing the 3. The 3 iron is the hardest iron for me to hit, if I can hit well with this club, that means it's truly a nice set of clubs. The 3 quickly proved itself and the entire set that they are worth the money. Towards the end of the day, I decided to hit that 3 some more just because I can never get the same kind of results with my clubs. Each shot was going at least 200 yards and pretty much straight. However, nn my last swing, I felt the solid contact but all of sudden I felt that the club became incredibly light. I looked at the 3 iron and there was no 3 iron, the head completely flew off the shaft. No one really noticed what happened except Josh. Josh, who was talking on the phone at the time said he heard a "helicopter" like sound and when he looked up, he saw a club head spinning through the air. That was K's club head. Kyongdo couldn't believe his eyes. We burst into tears laughing. Never have I ever knocked the club head off a club, especially with a Titleist. The people at the range are supposed to find the head for us eventhough we couldn't find it ourselves. I think Kyongdo is going to go back to Golf Galaxy and get a refund or exchange.
