I'm not a huge fan of the look of these Exotic irons -- it's a combination of a classic look with some modern branding on the back. However, that's about all I can complain about.

These Exotic irons have a dual-density dampening system. This system absorbs a lot of shock in the short irons and gives you more power and forgiveness in the longer irons.

The best thing about the irons besides the soft feel is the forgiving cavity back design with the classic traditional heavy sole with thin topline. This gives you shot-making ability with a modern forgiving club face. What is not to like?

I would recommend these irons for all players. The higher handicappers may want a more game improving iron set like the TaylorMade Mens r7 Irons before they grow into these, and the scratch players may want a more traditional blade cavity style like the Titleist AP-2 Stiff with Project X 5.5 Shafts.

It's a membership card that gives you discounted rates at about 3000 courses across the U.S. and Canada. It costs $48 dollars a year for a single membership or $84 for two people. This pays for itself if you play the courses that are included that give you discounted green fees.

In addition to discounted greens fees, you also get good deals at resorts that offer "Stay and Play" packages. If you are traveler and enjoy taking golf vacations, you will certainly want to look into this GolfCard.

The one thing I didn't like about the GolfCard is I didn't see my tried and true courses that I play regularly here in Oregon. However, I did see one of my favorites in Florida, The Majors GC at Bayside Lakes in Palm Bay, FL. I would recommend you check the Course Directory before you take the plunge. Also make sure to call the golf course you are interested in and confirm the discounted fee and when it is available.

This is a great deal for the adventurous golfer that is looking forward to traveling and discovering new golf courses. The cost of the card will easily cancel out when you play inexpensive golf as you encounter beautiful new tracks.

In the process, I got a chance to poke around that site quite a bit, and really enjoyed it. Nate and his crew are not afraid to speak their minds, but it's not just run-of-the-mill blather.

Check it out if you have a chance, and thanks to Nate!

Several of the clubs in my mish-mashed bag have plain black Golf Pride grips, and I have no complaints so far.

These grips, however, leave my boring black ones in the dust style-wise. The sleek yellow and black design would look amazing on a set of yellow-trimmed clubs (the Nike Sumo and Sasquatch series comes immediately to mind) or add some spice to some old, faded irons.

The grips themselves are smoother than some may prefer, which is why it's always good to feel a set of grips before purchasing them. Golf grips are one of the few pieces of equipment that are virtually all equal and can based completely on a person's taste. These grips could be your favorites and unusable to the next man.

If you want to bring a little bit of flash and uniformity to your bag, the Golf Pride DD2 grips are en excellent choice. While not as prestigious as Winn brand grips, these more than make up for it with their snazzy design.

However, there comes a time when you simply run out of things to buy and can no longer justify extravagant gear purchases. Your clubs are pristine, your bag doesn't even have a broken zipper, and you have more balls and tees than you know what to do with. That's when it's time to decorate!

The "Goals" Motivational Print is a poster that features a scenic picture of an enormous, daunting water trap separating a golfer and his goal (the pin). Beneath that, it reads in typical inspirational poster print: "GOALS: Take aim at your goals, and by all means follow through!"

The poster comes framed and ready-to-hang, so you won't have to spend your precious practice time measuring and framing your work of art. It's also pretty large (24"x30"), so make sure you have enough of a blank space on your wall.

If you're looking for a classy piece of artwork that reflects the golfer within you, this piece is an excellent choice. Whether you hang it in your home or office (or a combination of the two), the poster will spark conversation with your golf buddies as well as help personalize your space.
