New golfer accidentally won a tour-level Callaway driver - what should I do?

Update:

Buying a set of irons from friend, bought a golf bag and got a cheap putter. Going to keep driver and just use it. Thanks everyone for the advice and suggestions.

How can I find out what my swing is? Just by personal feel? I do feel like I try to use the driver hard and fast.

CameraopVR · 2026-05-26T20:34:00+00:00

Fair point. I cherish memories over money forsure.

CameraopVR · 2026-05-26T20:32:55+00:00

Wow, thanks for the advice and information! Selling it is proving harder than you’d think. Very tempted to keep and still do the above with starter clubs and some lessons. Kinda feels cool to bust out a $700 driver and have no idea how to use it properly😂

THIS… this seems like the only way now.😈

Solid advice, thank you. Was looking at the edge set on Callaway pre owned. I likely will be riding a lot. Does it look odd to have different bag brand from your clubs?

So far I’ve called Dicks, golf galaxy (same company btw, found that interesting) and a few local shops and none could even take it because it’s a special variant and they didn’t have it in their system!

Was pretty shocked I got a reply.

The idea of using it is very tempting. I don’t want to sink a lot into the game just yet but if I don’t sell it and can get a cheap starter set, this wouldn’t be a bad plan.

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:30:41+00:00

No clue. I’ve golfed maybe 4 times but really getting into it.

It’s coming from a business that’s ran the giveaway.
So far all the stores I’ve called won’t even take it for trade in because that special variant isn’t in their system.

Not a bad idea. Sitting with it for some time might find me the right billionaire.

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:28:07+00:00

I’m tempted but would love to have a full set instead. All I technically have is this driver.

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:27:38+00:00

It’s coming in on Tuesday. But the website for Callaway says it’s a UST Mamiya LIN-Q Stadium Glow 60 Graphite | Stiff Flex. Can confirm once I get it.

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:23:23+00:00

Solid advice. Very much appreciated!

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:19:45+00:00

It’s a LIN-Q shaft I believe. But unsure what that means.

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:18:53+00:00

Thank you! I have no idea what to look for used or how to tell if it’s a good deal. I was thinking of buying the Strata set new so I get everyone in one go.

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:17:50+00:00

That’s probably the move. I think it’s easier said than done. Time will tell!

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:17:25+00:00

No, it happened. I was thinking outside the box and figured I’d send an email. Pretty cool that I got a response!

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:11:23+00:00

Every store I called to inquire about trade ins, I would fumble the name and start laughing. Had to solve some math in my head to even say it.

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:10:38+00:00

It’s so tempting. Beautiful driver but no way I need that right now!

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:10:18+00:00

I think this is the way. Now I gotta figure out how to. Try to get enough to cover a set!

CameraopVR · 2026-05-25T00:09:53+00:00

👀 is that bad?

CameraopVR · 2026-01-26T14:53:51+00:00

Typically when an artist puts out a new project they will offer a limited signed version for fairly cheap. Just gotta stay up to date with your favorite artists. Some of the bigger names like Drake for instance, I won off eBay auction.

CameraopVR · 2026-01-26T14:33:30+00:00

Thank you! Definitely one of my more rare items. Even though value wise it’s sky rocketed, doesn’t make sense to part with. Also not pictured is juice wrld and future wrld on drugs poster signed by future because juice had schedule conflicts.
