    	I will start it off. I would get a set of Callaway - Bobby Jones
    	Commemorative irons. The are truely a beautiful set of clubs
    	with the hickory over metal shafts. I don't know how they play
    	and with a price tag of $1000+ I don't think I will find out.
    	As far as woods go, there aren't any ones in particular that
    	I would like to try...

    Great question!!
    
    Putter - absolutely no question.  It would have to be a hand made
    putter from Truett P. Mills, Tuscaloosa, Ala.  He designed the models
    that Spaulding mass produces as its TPM putter.  They are the black
    heads with a slight flange and with crossing dots at the sweet spot
    on the face.  Truett hand makes these putters on a limited basis,
    and they are things of beuty.  He begins with three pieces of gun
    metal.  They are then welded, ground, polished, and blued to become
    a finished product.  Price varies from $300 up.  I was fortunate
    enough to win one a few years ago.
    
    Irons- For looks, the Tommy Armour chrome plated forged clubs.
           For play, Ping Eye 2, either stainless or beryllium.
    
    Woods- For looks, Cleveland Classics, persimmon.
           For play, Taylor Made Metal with titanium shaft.
    
    Bag- For looks, Ping pro-style white with black trim.
         For carrying--anyone got a good idea?
    
    You gotta look the part.

    I would have some set custom built for me (just like the pros).

    I'd go to a pro/clubmaker, have him fix up my swing and make clubs
    to match now plus later when I get the right swing working.
    
    See you on tour,
    Alan

    Although I have pretty good clubs now, I still would get a set of
    berillium Pings just for those times when I go in the tank.  They
    have to be the easiest, most anti-s---k clubs I've ever played.
    
    (If they just weren't offset I'd have 'em now!)

    I am  happy with my Altrons, but after I  got  a  Yamaha X-214 driver
    with boron  shaft and carbon composite head, and seeing good results,
    I get to wonder what it will be to have ALL the clubs made like that,
    and then I look  at the YONEX clubs (over $1000 just for the "irons")
    and I wonder if I  will  get FANTASTIC improvements that will justify
    that big expense!!!! I doubt it.
    
    I think I'll settle for the 3 and 5 wood Yamaha's to match my driver.

    I bought a set of McGregor metal woods.  Why?  They were called
    Heritage, by Jack Nicholas.  You might say at this point...."So".
    
    Well I'm just sayin!
    
    I like'm a lot.  They really are true.  I get a good hit from them.

	Well the author said this was supposed to be a wish list.  So...


	Santa: So jeff have you been a good boy all year ?

	Jeff: Yes Santa.  I ate all my vegetables and practiced my short
	      game whenever I got a chance.

	Santa: Now that's a good little golfer!!  Well seeing that you
	       have been so good all year what would you like for
	       Christmas?

	Jeff: Well Santa to start off I'd like a brand new pair of
	      Footjoy leather golf shoes as well as a pair of the
	      Softjoys weatherproof shoes and a pair of Nikes.

	      I'd also like a set of the Mizuno Black Turbo woods
	      and a Tommy Armour beryllium-head graphite shaft
	      driver.

	      Seeing that I also did everything my mommy told me to
	      I also want a set of Slotline Inertial irons, a set
	      of Titleist Tour Model irons and a set of the Yonex
	      Carbonnex irons.  I'd also like to have my original 
	      Tommy Armour M85 irons rechromed, reshafted and
	      regripped with leather grips.

	      The Wilson Tour Model putter and the Tiger Shark Great
	      White putter would also be nice gifts.  Maybe even
	      the Zebra Ray Floyd model wouldn't be too much to ask
	      for either.

	      For my stocking I'd like a few dozen each of the Titleist
	      Pro Trajectory, Low Trajectory, Maxfli DDH and Spalding
	      Top Flite Xls.  Also, how about a couple of rain suits
	      and winter suits just to be safe.

	Santa: Well, that sure is quite a list.  I'll have to get my
	       elves working overtime on this list.

	Jeff: Thank you Santa.  And if it's not too much I'd like to 
	      wish that everyone could have more time to play golf
	      and have that one great round every-other weekend.  And
	      that it's nice out every time we want to play a round.




	And as Santa's sleigh pulled away from the ground,

	I heard him exclaim,

	Merry golfing to all,

	And to all a good round!
    

    re: .0
    
    	Well if money was no object...I'd mix and match.....
    
    	I'd make my 2-4 irons those game improvement clubs like
    	the new hogan edge or pings. Reason is because the long
    	irons are the hardest to hit correctly so I'd take all the
    	help I could get by making my 2,3,4 the easiest to hit I could
    	buy.
    
    	Next I'd keep my hogan radials w-5 that I now have but have
    	graphit or titaniam stiff shafts installed in them.
    	Graphite or titia. because there lighter = more clubhead speed
    	and stiff because with these clubs I need the accuracy
    
    	I think I'd try experimenting with more flexable shafts in
    	the woods I have(hogan series 56 metal) and I try and find
    	a old Macgregor Tourney driver for those days when I use the
    	soft titlest balls.
    
    	Boy what a wish list...if only....!!!!
