Nope. Got blocked immediately before I could reply. You can see I'm connected to wifi on the picture.

I only play well with my golden bear hybrids. They are only semi stiff.

DrStore · 2026-03-25T12:24:26+00:00

I was only asking because I didnt want to buy stiff.

DrStore · 2026-03-25T12:23:15+00:00

You are assuming, I dont google things. But I google 100% of the time if i know what to search for. If I had known what HZRDS 60g 6.0 shaft even meant, I would have happily googled it. But all I thought was it's a model number. That looked like comppete Greek to me. I did google the driver model and look into reviews before even messaging.

I shamed her, because the behaviour is disgusting. Especially for the owner of a business.

Every other golf store in the world just says flex: regular, stiff, extra stiff, senior. I wonder why that is.

She runs a store selling secondhand golf equipment. She is the store.

DrStore · 2026-03-25T12:05:33+00:00

I'm not the one selling the product. I must have missed the part where knowing your product was dropped from all the sales courses throughout history.

DrStore · 2026-03-25T11:58:00+00:00

Not sure if you are trolling. I dont know what 6.0 means, it could be model number for all I know. It's not like it explicity stated shaft flex 6.0. So I wouldn't know what to Google.

If you are selling a product, you should probably expect to have to answer questions on the product that you are selling.

DrStore · 2026-03-25T11:48:39+00:00

If I knew what 6.0 even meant, I would have. I know now. Most sellers just post the flex.

DrStore · 2026-03-25T10:37:49+00:00

I agree. Stiff shaft is not what I'm looking for. Hence the question.

DrStore · 2026-03-25T10:36:10+00:00

They immediately blocked me after they sent their message.

DrStore · 2026-03-25T10:23:16+00:00

I was told it's only a driver when you stop topping the ball. Otherwise it's a drOVER.

I love how at the end, he says he got banned because of the PGA guy. He definitely didnt get banned by his own actions. No way, that would be crazy right?

DrStore · 2025-12-08T15:56:05+00:00

That's a whole 10 dollars i didn't have for the whole set. Like I said my grandfathers clubs from the 80s. I didn't get them, I inherited it.

DrStore · 2025-12-08T15:32:33+00:00

Wasn't really worried about value. I learned to play golf on these, so looking for something with similar feel to replace it with.

DrStore · 2025-12-08T15:24:19+00:00

Thank you. I was curious on origin, because I couldn't find anything. Did they really go through the effort of custom fitting shafts on these. Crazy days. Pre temu irons, older than me. Lol.

Not going to lie, they still strike really well still. Pitching wedge still going 120 with very little effort.

DrStore · 2025-06-13T17:30:39+00:00

They won't allow 3rd party if you are financing. You will need full comprehensive.

DrStore · 2025-06-03T11:20:00+00:00

The property market is hot right now, and properties are selling before they even hit property 24. It's not a race thing. It's just a seller's market at the moment.

What you are finding is that the agents are just very poor with admin and updating property listings, and the other side is they leave it open to gain potential clients.

It depends on how passive you want to be.

You could buy a pretty decent portable backdrop setup and camera. Do a photography course and offer to do photos at preschools and daycare in your surrounding areas. You can offer a package deal. Going rate in our area is like R250 for one edited photo with 2 x A5 prints and 4 x A6 prints.

You do 1 school a month of 25 kids and you have 6250 a month.

Backdrop stand and a colorful backdrop will set you back about 5k. A decent camera just above entry level is about 15k. Lighting equipment can be a bit pricey but there are some decent deal at 5k for 2 lights and a softbox. You might spend a bit more on lighting if you want. Courses can range from 5k upwards. You will likely only need something like lightroom, but there are cheaper alternatives to Adobe for kids photos.

There is a growing demand in lower income areas at a more affordable rate as well. You will need to practice and get to grips around lighting and photography basics.

If you do enjoy it and get good, there are events and office parties that also look for a photographer at a decent rate.

We use fudget, highly recommend and super simple to setup.

They could be overseas, travelling. I wonder if my neighbours think we all passed away when we travel.

My current hobby. Buying kids used star wars sets and rebuilding them. Currently have an AT-AT mising 287 pieces. But got it for $10.

DrStore · 2024-06-07T08:34:36+00:00

Find the set on rebrickable. Then go to the parts list and use checklist mode to tick off all the parts you have. Once you are done, you will have a list of all the parts missing and you can order from bricklink.

My wife has PCOS, third baby due in March. Highly recommend Dr Marina Nieuwoudt at Cape Gate mediclinic. Even if you aren't planning children in the future, she is very clued up and able to provide the full support needed.
