Included in this fabulous package are: Brand new RAM cart bag with a dozen new golf balls and tees 2007 Adams Golf Insight XTD driver especially designed for long drives 2005 Adams Golf Tight Lies 4+ wood with an ultra-light graphite shaft that will help you get out of the deep rough. Set of 2005 Hogan AHS hybrids with head covers. Many golfers, including the present owner of the hybrids, have trouble hitting long irons. Roughly 10 years ago hybrid clubs were introduced to help such hapless folks. The heads are heavily weighted and thus combine the best of irons and fairway woods, which most golfers find easier to hit. This set is unusual in that these hybrids take the place of the 4 iron through the sand wedge. That’s eight hybrids. Ray Cook mallet-head putter Great golf instruction book Copy of the Rules of Golf Two $25 gift cards for Dick’s Sporting Goods for anything else you might need to get out on the course. Donor - Mark Perry 802 Taylor-Made Burner 460 Driver Value: $110 Minimum Bid: $50 Hit that golf ball longer and straighter with this lightly-used 2007 Taylor-Made Burner driver, owned by a FCS Adult Chorus first tenor who has only driven it (but not to church) on Sundays. The Burner remains one of the most popular drivers in the world, and you’ll see why. This one has the biggest club head –460cc—allowed at the U.S. Golf Association, and a “light” graphite shaft. The big head, the feather-light shaft, and the 10.5-degree loft of the driver give the golfer greater club-head speed and thus more distance. This driver comes with a Taylor-Made driver head cover. This driver is one of the biggest-selling drivers in the country, and one hit will show you why. Donor – Mark Perry 803 Callaway Big Bertha 460 Driver Value: $95 Suggested Opening Bid: $40 Improve your golf game with this 2008 pre-owned Callaway 460 right-handed driver. It did not get used much because the owner, a fine first tenor in the FCS Adult Chorus, sings far better than he plays golf. This driver has the biggest head (allowed by the United States Golf Association, but at the same time it has a “light” graphite shaft, thus giving the player faster club-head speed and therefore a longer drive. It has 10-degree loft, which is about right for average golfers, meaning with that loft (assuming you keep your head down), you’ll get it into the air where the wind can carry it. The driver comes with a Callaway head cover. This is one of the most popular drivers ever made.
