Are there tournaments for 20 handicaps or would that just be a place where people can easily get in and sandbag?

For the record I am team line and idc about the results listed above. .

I draw one all the way around my ball.

I do it for putting alignment and I also like how it leaves a mark of club face so I know that I did hit out on the toe for the 294th time in a row. 👍🏻

Got to the course late today. Realized I only had 2 balls in the bag on the first tee box. First swing put ball number 1 into some dudes living room (allegedly for liability reasons) and went on to play 27 with the same ole titleist 4. Ask me anything.

How many strokes would you lose if you played at a course you’ve never played with a hire set you’ve never used.

I was in Scotland and played a round while travelling. In Australia I break 90 about 50% of the time and am quite consistent at never really blowing out over 95 on a bad day.

Played in Scotland and it was like I’d never played golf. Shot 115. Off the tee was ok but I had absolutely no touch from 100 meters in with wedges I’d never used.

Plus the clubs were probably an inch too long. Kept hitting behind the ball so massively had to choke down on the clubs. I didn’t really care as I was just stoked to be playing golf in Scotland but didn’t think I’d play as bad as I did lol.

This kind’ve golf related. But I’m planning my brothers bachelor party and I’m looking for some location recommendations.

Some Context, it’s probably a group of 12-20 of us going on the trip, some big time golfers who care a lot about golf, including the groom, and some have golfed less than 10 times in their lives. So not looking to break the bank and go all out on a mega resort or something.

It would be sometime in late winter/early spring 2025, we are all from the northeast and willing to travel (first idea was scottsdale).

The only two needs from the groom is golf and 4 wheeling/atv-ing.

Let me know, thanks!

I have 3 medium members mark golf gloves to give away. I bought them but they're a little too small and should have gotten the medium/large. Don't feel like asking around for anyone I know to see if they want them so figured I'd put them up here. I'll mail them for free, ideally one a piece unless no one wants them. Maybe you're new to golf and could use a spare glove, maybe you've wanted to try these from Sam's but don't want a whole pack in case they're shit. Either way, first dibs get them.

So one of my local courses, the range is between the first two holes, so it’s easy to hit range balls into the fairway or vice versa…. That being said… I’m sitting in the cart today, and a ball literally smacks my bag behind me at Mach speed. I’m shook, because I’m a veteran and it made a huge loud pop and scared the shit out of me. So after I gather myself I hop out, and turn around and see a kid jumping up and down with joy, and I scream “fore or some shit” and throw the ball back, then his dad commences to screaming at me, “he said he was sorry dude just move on” mind you…. I didn’t hear them say a single word even when I yelled fore at them… so at this point I kinda throw my hands In the air like “wtf” and he says again “we said sorry dude Jesus” even though they never said a single word to me…. I try not to be a sensitive little Karen b!t€h but damn dude…. Do people really just not have any etiquette at all anymore on a course? Or is there that many people that don’t know you are supposed to yell… or am I just a dick? PFA

I previously played with a GolfBuddy watch that read front/middle/back of the green, but it has limitations so I bought a budget range finder on a good deal (shout out u/Nurseresidences). Any tips/ideas to use this thing?

Apologies for a another “course recommendation” post, but

I’m looking for a petty specific thing here, anyone know a public course in Scottsdale that has the monitors in carts that you can watch NFL Redzone on?

Where ever in the world it is, I would love to play on it. A golf course where the courses are kinda on an island full 18 holes. If anyone has any suggestions or idea of courses like such it would be most appreciated

Sorry if this question doesn’t belong here, but it’d be very helpful if people could give me answers to this.

Appreciate it in advance.

Just wondering how you go about your putting process? I putt well I'm just curious.

I like to first look from behind about 10 feet behind the ball, then I count steps from ball to pin and look at it from 10 feet going the opposite direction. I find you learn a lot more imaging how you would putt the ball going from the pin to the ball. I line my ball up and when I'm confident with the line i do a couple practice strokes. When I address the ball and make my stroke I keep my eyes fixed on my putter and forget about the ball (no arc to my putting stroke, just straight back and forward).

I'm looking to learn more about using my feet to judge slope like people so with aim point, all comments accepted just want to spread some knowledge. Thanks for reading

NBC will probably pay a fine for that one … lol

In the market for a new driver and found a deal on a demo club still wrapped in plastic, is there anything different from regular to demo clubs?

So I got an iron fitting today and really liked the Mizuno Hot Metal's, specifically the JPX925 HL's. Not really convinced that I want to drop $1000+ on a set of irons though. I was looking at the more budget friendly options from Golfworks and Takomo that seem to get good reviews, but I'm at a loss for which would be most similar to the clubs I tried. If it helps, I also hit the Calloway Paradym AI Smoke HL irons and liked those too.

I'm also looking on eBay, but the issue is that I got fit for +1.75" shafts and oversized grips, so I'd have to end up at least regripping and extending any set I bought from there, and even the older Mizuno models are still considerably more expensive than the Takomo and Golfworks options.

Anyone hit the Mizunos and either Takomo's or Golfworks?

I’m looking for some ideas on what to try out for my next shafts in my somewhat unique situation. Plan on testing/fitting but also like to just research in advance.

Scratch golfer, former plus handicap. Former long driver who had televised success. Diagnosed with Lupus at 30, am now 42. Every year is more difficult and it’s a physical struggle out there. Can still get it around close to par but I’m beat afterwards and need to ensure the steroids hit before the range session. No range, no golf.

So I recently put a 75 gram graphite shaft in my 2 iron (Hzrdus 6.0) and absolutely smash it. I can feel the weight difference. It was previously a 120 gram steel KBS X flex.

I’m playing steel KBS C Taper lite 115 gram X flex. I love the movement it created naturally in my swing but if I can golf longer and enjoy it with less pain I’d like to throw some graphite in there.

Any tips for this situation?
