Did this Redditor just hit the thrift store jackpot?

At GolfWRX, we love a good “thrift store jackpot” post, even if they do create a false sense of the probability of finding a gently used Scotty Cameron amid the assortment of Sam Snead Blue Ridge irons and decaying Wilson woods for the rest of us.

In a post titled “Think I hit the thrift store jackpot,” Redditor @Secure-Classic-5386 writes:

“2 brand new Callaway Jaws wedges and 2 TaylorMade Sim 2 Max hybrids for sale at Savers… 5.99 each, I’ve never grabbed and checked out with something so fast. I felt like I was breaking the law when I was walking out of the store.”

He then offered the following photo evidence:

For context, here’s the current price for these items at our friends, 2nd Swing:

TaylorMade Sim2 Max Rescue (in mint condition): $160.99
Callaway Jaws wedge (in mint condition): $103.99

Again, Secure’s clubs are new, but using a more conservative “mint condition” estimate, he was able to purchase an incredible $529.96 worth of clubs for $24 (plus tax). Feels like breaking the law, indeed!

We share in @thatboyinthepants’ lament when he says:

“Why does my Goodwill only have Dunlop and Ram irons from the 90s”

What’s your best thrift store find, GolfWRXers? For my part, I recently grabbed a set (3-PW) of Tommy Armour 845 Silver Scott irons for 20 bucks and the legendary Titleist PT fairway wood for $2.99.

I got two Adams Tight Lies fairway woods (a strong three and a high-lofted three) in fantastic shape for $2.50 each, and I also snagged a Taylormade R580 driver and three wood (funny how most of the ‘better’ things I find are 3 woods). Last week I grabbed a Tommy Armour 845 9 iron with a Grafalloy shaft for $1.50 for the ol’ beater bag next to the patio. Almost grabbed a full set of Finalist by Acushnet irons for $9.50, too. Grabbed a Sun Mountain golf bag in great shape that I turned around and sold to my neighbor for $1 in profit because it was exactly what he was wanting. My favorite putter ever is an 8802 knockoff made by Matzie, which I bought for $1. I would say that it’s a hole magnet… but I won’t because then it would stop sinking putts.

So… not quite as epic as that Reddit haul, but they were still worth picking through all the beat-up Northwestern and Knight irons. I just know that one of these days, if I keep an eye on the time of year and swing through regularly, I’m gonna find something ridiculous in that joint.

I found a Dunlop 5 iron – left handed – at a Goodwill in Palmdale CA in good condition. The reason I bought it was to have what those of us who play in the high desert often have to play off of bare ground, hard pan when we miss a fairway in what would be rough in greener regions. We call these clubs “desert irons” because you can hit recovery shots without worrying about damaging your iron. It is not easy to find great used left handed clubs so I have really been happy with this $5 desert iron find.

CBS’s Sunday Masters coverage slammed by golf fans

While Sunday was a dramatic day at the Masters, many golf fans were left feeling frustrated by the CBS final round coverage.

There were plenty of moments that golf fans took to social media to air their frustrations on Sunday over, including a lack of shots being shown throughout the day, being behind the live action, confusion over the approach shots of the final group on 18, and providing an angle for the winning putt where the cup couldn’t be seen.

Here’s a look at some of the criticisms that were directed at the CBS coverage throughout the day on X:

This has been a brutal broadcast for CBS. When the folks from Augusta sit down with them this year, you can bet they’ll talk about this 15 seconds where we have no idea where Rory’s ball went, and Dottie moans. #TheMasters pic.twitter.com/ak3mkpIN7V

It’s rare criticism coming in for CBS, who are usually heavily praised for their Masters coverage each year.

The surprise club Tommy Fleetwood says is key to his Masters chances

Tommy Fleetwood goes in search for the first major victory of his career again this week, with the Englishman proving to be a popular pick at Augusta National.

Fleetwood’s best showing at Augusta came back in 2024 where he finished T3, and while speaking at his pre-tournament press conference, the 35-year-old emphasized the importance of his 9-wood in his pursuit of the green jacket.

Speaking on Tuesday to media, Fleetwood said:

“It’s a great 9-wood golf course. I think it’s always been — I can’t remember when I first put like a 9-wood in or a high lofted club, but it’s a perfect like 9-wood golf course. I’ve had that in the bag for a few years.”

The Englishman continued, revealing that his strategy for the week won’t just be to hit driver off the tee as much as possible:

“Yeah, it’s funny really because I know Augusta is probably associated with being fairly forgiving off the tee in a way, so you think you can whale around driver a little bit. But I don’t necessarily think that’s always the play for me. I think there’s holes that set up really well where I can draw it with the mini driver if I’m feeling less comfortable with the driver and things like that.”

That strategy he believes will make his TaylorMade Qi10 9-wood extra critical this week in Georgia:

“The biggest thing is the 9-wood for me. If I can put myself in position on the par-5s or the 4th long par-3, like it — for me, I can’t really hit that high 4-iron, so 9-wood helps me a lot.”
