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?

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.

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

Spent a solid 25 Minutes of my visit to the Museum of Design (Dundee Scotland) looking at this and thinking about how i would shank all of them.

1. made of leather and feathers 1840

2. made of gutta percha (south east asian tree sap) 1850

3. rubber golf ball with gutt percha cover

4. solid polybutadiene rubber core with ionomer cover

I’m going to Bandon in 2 weeks and wanted to see if you guys have any tips? We are staying for 3 days. Any and all tips and tricks are welcome!

A few question that I have:

1: do you need multiple sets of rain pants? I have 1, but not sure if I’ll need a second pair if it rains hard all 3 days.

2.) did regular waterproof golf shoes work for those who played in heavy rain? I have adidas zg 21 which usually work fine , but I was thinking of buying the boot version just in case. The most important thing to me is dry feet.

Has anyone cracked or injured a rib from golf ? I have had 3 issues since early this year where I have had real bad pain in my right side/back rib area. Hasn't stopped me golfing and I play 3 or 4 times a week. Last time it happened on tee box and felt like something moved in side of chest and left me in severe pain. Doc didn't think it was from golfing and hasn't restricted my swing before this time but has me wondering. Senior golfer 100mph swing speed.

This happened to me yesterday and seems to happen fairly frequently, you have one of those days where you just can't feel your feels and every shot feels really uncomfortable. You're mind starts racing trying to find old feels or remember tips you've seen to get your swing back.

I find this can sometimes happen if i've had a bad sleep, or if I have drank the night before or had a stressful week at work.

Is there any way in a warm up to ensure that this doesn't happen? What do you guys do to deal with this?

Some guys would rather scoop balls out of the water than play golf. They are the worst. Dude stood in front of me with his 100 foot ball retriever looking for balls then gets mad when I hit past him. 😩. I should have just dumped a sleeve of balls in the water while he watches.

Short par 5 (480ish yards). Blasted my drive to 175 out. Hit a lovely six iron to here, directly in line with the hole, about 15 feet short and directly on top of the freshest plug on the green.
