Got a photo you took on your phone of a swing with a mad crazy shaft flex?
It's due to rolling shutter effect and there's no need to share it with us.
And we've seen every bad photoshopped ad with a guy hitting a putter into a chipping net or DJ hitting driver pasted on a putting mat in a driveway. No need to share those, they will be deleted.

I’ve been golfing for 2 years and looking for some advice on my swing. I have a tendency to have a strong grip and pull my hips up along with other issues. The swing in the video is with a P7CB 7 iron.
For context I started playing early this year and enjoying it...Not very consistent on grass yet but pretty good on mats. Anyway I'm using well-worn TaylorMade PSI irons but looking for 'new to me' irons, and between my older kids and friends I have access to Nike VRS Covert, Callaway AI Smoke, Callaway Apex, Mizuno JPX 921 HM, and TaylorMade P-790 irons. Are any of those suitable for me as a beginner and ones I could possibly grow into? Also, all are regular flex but a couple 'feel' a little long, can they just be cut shorter? Thanks.
I'm a 28 handicap, but I shot a 94 today which is my lowest round ever. Three pars and a birdie on a par 5.
Feeling really good!
Idk what tempo means but by watching videos this looks similar can anyone help
Hi all. I (18M) recently moved to college in a fairly big city and decided to go get a lesson. I've had lessons before but since my hometown is so small, options are limited. This lesson was the first time at an actual simulator that records all the stats. I was very surprised to find that my swing speed was extremely low on my irons. The average speed was about 65 mph and my highest was 71 mph.
For reference, I am 5"8 and 130 pounds. I am a fairly small dude but I grew up playing baseball and wrestled in high school and I regularly workout, I am certainly not weak.
The person I went to is also a fitter and told me that the only way I can generate more speed is by switching from steel to graphite iron shafts, but I find that hard to believe.
Aside from the swing speed, I had an average smash factor of 1.42 and perfect swing arc, so speed is the only thing holding me back.
I know seeing my actual swing would be most helpful, but are there any general tips that anyone could provide as a baseline for generating more clubhead speed?
Always liked this spot at our home course
Hubs and I want to plan a New England golf trip for July or August 2025. Any suggestions on locations with access to multiple courses within a < 45 minute drive? We are open to anywhere in New England but I would prefer Maine as it's one of the states I've never been to.
Can someone point me to japan websites that sell cheap clubs? Family will be going but im not joining so ill ship it to their hotel.
Looking for mizuno 245 and other cheap finds
Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks!
What do you think of my new headcover?
Shoot a round yesterday as a single. Caught up to a twosome, one walking, one in a cart. The guy walking kept picking up the guy in the carts balls.... I must have seen him pick up 5 balls and pocket them.... weird behavior if you ask me.
Looking to upgrade the ole starter set. Been told to upgrade the clubs you use the most...I use my irons the most ONLY because my local courses have like 3 drivable holes between all 4 of them, so I rarely get to use the driver except at the range, or when I'm traveling, and it does the job when I need it.
I just picked up a used, basically new Callaway maverick 3h to replace my wilson profile hybrid.Fuck you Marco Rubio outlying band tableI'm under the impression if I'm going to replace all the clubs I should replace the most used with new and the least used with second-hand clubs. Would like opinions on this too.
Main question: what iron set would be best for after a starter set I know there's more to them than just brand and price, just looking for anyone with experience or advice.
I keep getting told to buy new and not used but I don't know if I can justify new clubs still having a 25 handicap
So today was the first time I ever played golf with my mom. I told her I would play with her at some point and today the stars aligned! She hasn’t played in 30 years but she did really well! Way better than I thought. Maybe it was the good luck charm of my mom being there and the pressure was on (always gotta impress the parents) but I shot a personal best of 78, drove the green for 332 yds. And 2 holes later had the longest drive of my life at 363 yds on a par 5. Moral of the story is, if you still have parents around, play golf with them. Even if it’s not the best round you play, if they don’t play golf, it’s priceless with the memories made that will last a lifetime. Thought I’d share this wholesome moment with you guys! God bless.
I’m looking at getting my boyfriend a golf watch for Christmas. He doesn’t really want an Apple Watch so I’ve been shopping around and I was sold on the Garmin S12, but I just came across the Shot Scope V5 and now I’m wondering if that is better than any Garmin series watch?
Any opinions appreciated :)
3 buddies and I had a tee time for 9:30 this morning. We all show up to the course around 8:45 to loosen up on the range and maybe hit some putts. This place has the range buckets inside the pro shop. When we ask the attendant about a bucket he told us we needed to ask the starter to see if we could/had time because there's a youth tournament starting at 10 and wanted to get people out early.
Now we didn't mind going out early with minimal warm up, it was just a casual round. But if it was more serious and/or money involved I would want to a more complete warm up.
My question is, does the course have the right to make you go early when you reserved a specific tee time? Could I just say sorry, everyone's here but I have a 9:30 tee time the earliest I'll tee off is 9:30?
Edit: some more details for my specific situation.
Booked and payed for the tee time online, we didn't know about the tournament until we arrived at the course.
We teed off around 9:05
Temp was around 45° when we teed off, warm up on the range would have mostly just been getting feel and blood flowing
Does anybody expect garmin or any other retailers to run Black Friday sales on the r10 or should I just buy a used one on the ole Facebook marketplace.
Buddies got me with the ole exploding ball. Honestly didn’t see it coming.
I don’t have any friends or family that golf. But I am a new lawyer and many of the other lawyers i work with golf / clients, so I need to learn it.
1 year ago Heritage Golf Group acquired your club. I wanted to ask how it’s going? Any major changes to your membership experience?
It has been announced that Heritage is acquiring Ptarmigan CC in Fort Collins. The members are nervous!
2 years in and I've improved significantly now that I have taken some lessons and found my grove. I have a starter set that's fairly good but would like to fill my gaps in my clubs. Below is my current setup and my thoughts are adding a 52, 60, and 3 wood. What's your take on adding those clubs? Or would you recommend something else?
18 handicap
Driver- TaylorMade M1 4H - TaylorMade M4 Irons 5-AW - TaylorMade M4 (aw is 49°) Wedge - 56° vokey Putter - Cleveland HB blade
Last I heard he was having some major health issues. Anyone heard anything from him lately?
Need some opinions. Will an iron fitting be beneficial to me? I am consistently shooting high 80s- low 90s. I’ve never been fit for irons, I bought some mizuno 923 hot metal pros off the shelf earlier this season. Let me tell you, they are hot off the face. I feel like I need something that I can control the distance better. My ball striking has gotten significantly better this year and am wondering if a fitting could benefit me? Let me know your opinions
