I'm not a golfer. My friend took me to a diving range last night, and gave me her sister's old, mis-matched (but complete) set of clubs to use. It was my first time hitting a golf ball... ever.
We were on the second tier smacking balls, and I was putting balls out about 100 yards but something just didn't sound right as I was hitting them. After about 30 minutes, the over-sized titanium head flies off leaving me standing there with the shaft. I didn't see where the head went, and I couldn't find it when I went down to the first tier. The place was almost empty, but I didn't go out walking in the grass.
I expect I was either hitting the ball where the shaft and head connect, or I was hitting the ground as I was hitting the ball. In either case, I tore the head off the driver and I couldn't find it. My friend's sister laughed about it, but I feel pretty horrible for breaking the thing. I need to replace it. The grip says Cobra S, and I think I've found the brand on the Web but I need to compare the logo to the one on the grip when I get home.
Ignorant golf questions:
1) Can I get a new head put on this shaft, or is this thing worthless?
2) If I need to replace the driver, does anyone have a clue what I should replace it with? Is this Cobra brand widely available? The sister is a beginner golfer, and she inherited the clubs from an uncle...
Holy crap, where'd this thread come from?
