My teenage son and I have been getting into golfing this summer and between the two of us have gone out to 3 or 4 courses since June. We have been sharing the same bag of clubs, as we are about the same height and both right-handed and don’t really want to invest more until we are sure it is something both of us want to continue with. Yesterday, we arrived at a local course and started out. At the first hole, the “Marshall” (or whatever they are called) drives up to us and scolds us for only having one bag on the cart. He forced us to drive back up to the clubhouse and ask the front desk for a second bag to strap on. He couldn’t explain “why” we needed to do this beyond it was the course rule. So we went up, they gave us a second bag (a loaner I guess) and we went on our way. They told us next time we will have to pay for the rental.

So I’m genuinely curious as to if this is a common thing or just this course? Is there any reasoning that people can’t share clubs? Is it just an appearance thing? This wasn’t any fancy club, just a random course in the middle of Pennsyltucky.

Should I be counting my putts on the fringe or edge of fairway towards my total putts? If I do, it would falsely elevate my GIR?

If I made it in 49 per 9 holes, does it mean I broke 100? Or does it count only if you play 18 holes?

The other week I shot my lowest ever score of 91 (yes not great but I’m getting there?), and I’ve come to play this week and I genuinely cannot get the ball off the floor. I’m either topping my shots or when I do connect okay they’re coming out like bullets about 2ft off the ground. Any ideas what could be causing it as I don’t feel like I’m even swinging the club any different to usual but I’m losing my head with why it’s happening.

I have a sim2 max and there are ways to adjust it what does this do and should I be doing any of it?

Returning to golf after a decade hiatus. Looking to get a new set of irons and went for a fitting at my local golf store.

The two sets recommended after hitting a couple of hundred balls were Srixon zx4 and Taylor Made QI.

Probably hit more good shots with the QIs, but the ones I hit well with the zx4s were better.

Leaning towards the Srixons, hoping that they will provide more room for improvement, but not sure whether I should go for the more forgiving iron?

It's a difficult choice given my time away from the game and not having a handicap. When I last played I was about 25... Assuming I can get back to about this level (and hopefully improve), is zx4 a good option or should I be looking for a more forgiving iron?

Hi guys, just bought new irons today! Got the TM Stealths as I was hitting them the best consistently.

I need a new bag and while I was gonna get the TM Pro Stand bag, the guy helping me said that since the dividers aren’t full lengths, my grips can get ruined and the shafts can be damaged. Now I’ve been watching bag reviews to see what to get.

Do I need to get a bag with 10+ full length dividers or having a bag with 3 dividers enough?

Any recommendations would be great too, I’m looking at stand/hybrid ones!

I have an adjustable driver (Ping). I understand the + & - for the loft. What does flat do?

So last week my buddy and I went out for a round of golf. We used to be pretty decent golfers, but don’t keep scores anymore and go out to have a good time.

As we play, the course gets backed up a little and we meet up with a single. Good kid, decent swing but probably got nervous playing with us and starting hacking around.

No big deal, but him getting frustrated and cursing killed our vibe so we wanted to get rid of him.

Easy days. We started giving him swing advice on the course, standing super close to him etc. We unloaded a sort of swingtip bukkake on him. Poor lad walked off after a few holes, but we got to play with good vibes again.

Hope is not too sad and wallowing in one bad day of golf. Get out soon playing again buddy!

Now we are sitting in my car in the parking lot, listening to Taylor Swift Cruel Summer.

just to be sure: jokepost in regards to previous post

I just recently started tracking yardages on all my clubs and got myself a range finder. I’m looking for a good way to keep a yardage guide on the course. I was looking at the yardage books that fit in your back pocket but they all have yardages for the course you’re playing nothing for keeping track of your club yardages. What do you all use ?

Hi, anyone tried comparing the KBS tour lite iron shaft, stiff vs the NS Pro 950gh, stiff?

I went for fitting and was supposed to be fitted with the KBS tour lite. However, when the iron was delivered... The NS Pro 950gh was installed.

Now that I've flown out of the country, I realized the difference and was wondering if anyone tried them bother and have any feedback?

Thanks!

Just wanting to get people’s opinions, currently my set is mixed and worth around $4000 aud for everything. I currently shoot between 95 to 110. Do you think it’s worth it to downgrade to a package set and sell my clubs until I get better??

I'll be traveling solo over Christmas. Any recommendation for an area with a high density of open golf courses where booking a tee time isn't difficult?

Ideally links style courses along the ocean.

Does anyone have a short (10 min max) simple mobility routine they use every day/several times per week? Starting to feel very immobile after rounds of golf and want to prevent injury and improve flexibility

Any recommendations from people who have been there? Hoping for 5 nights and 3 rounds of golf for around 1,100/1,200 eur excluding flights for 8 of us coming from Ireland. Any advice from my fellow redditors would be greatly appreciated 👍

Hi people

Yesterday I shot a 78 on a par 60 course, I was wondering what this would roughly translate to on a par 72 course

My best score on a 72 course is 95

I have been playing for 2 months now and not sure how this all works

Thank you :)

Hit maybe one bad shot on the front 9, and zero good shots on the back 9.

The grind continues today.

Hi Golf-Community,

Ich habe letztes Jahr mit gemeinsam mit meiner Frau Golfen angefangen. Wir sind Anfang 40, haben zwei kleine Kinder und suchen gerne nach Leuten ungefähr im gleichen Alter auf dem gleichen Stand.

Wir wohnen im Unter-Taunus-Kreis (nächster Golfplatz wäre für uns Idstein.

Freue mich auf nette Menschen :-)

Can someone identify this golf course on the titleist website?

Hi everyone

I am a total beginner but I really want to start. I have a golf course in my area (fermoy golf course) a pitch and putt course and a driving range. Any idea where I should practice first?

I just hit 37 and I really want to start something new.
