Played a quick 9 in the barn tonight on awesome golf. I’ve only been playing for 1.5 months, so I’m still trying to get the basics down. It’s nice being able to get some time behind the clubs at home.

I have a new ball for the year. The ‘24 TP5X is really fucking good.
Long time ProV1 player and I hated the ‘21 TP5X. I’ve got a few more weeks until I try to qualify for the state amateur. |

I may switch as well. I also got the trial pack in the mail. Their advertising investment worked because I wasn’t even looking to switch balls.

Talk to me about wedges.
What lofts, grinds and bounces you making all those greens with? You chip with those too, or grip down on something with less loft? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tanren37: Talk to me about wedges. What lofts, grinds and bounces you making all those greens with? You chip with those too, or grip down on something with less loft? Wedges are a personal preference. I play a 56degree vokey m grind. Callaway jaws look great, but I've not played with them. Played Cleveland for years and really liked them. Bought a pair of Mizuno wedges 10 years ago (can't remember the name), they had some fancy stepped shafts. Did not like the ball flight on full shots and cut bait quickly. Second part of the question is nuanced. It all depends on the shot. Generally I use a 56d around the greens in MI because it suits the conditions. Down in Florida I hit a lot of "chips" with a 3 metal because the lies are tighter on overseeded rye. |

I have to imagine there's some hammers that can go really low out there. Can't imagine running into a young Jon Rahm buzzsaw. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tanren37: Talk to me about wedges. What lofts, grinds and bounces you making all those greens with? You chip with those too, or grip down on something with less loft? A lot of it depends on the lofts of your iron set. For example, I play very traditional lofts with a 49* PW, so I only carry 2 specialty wedges at 54 and 59. My other set has a Vokey in place of the PW but same lofts. Most people tend to prefer higher bounce in the SW and lower bounce in the LW. My SW is 12* bounce and I have LW in 4/8/10 bounce depending on conditions. If you like to open the face around the green, it’s easier with grinds with heel and trailing edge relief. It keeps the leading edge closer to the ground. It’s really obvious in the store which grinds are better at this. If you live in western WA, you’ll probably be better off leaning towards higher bounce for the softer conditions. I probably use my LW for 70% of shots around the green, SW 20%, and something else 10%. |

Can't imagine running into a young Jon Rahm buzzsaw. Probably 1 or 2 under par from about 7000 yards. I’ve qualified the last 2 years but haven’t made the cut yet. The state am is 2 days of stroke play, cut to 64 into a match play bracket. Some of these guys are ridiculously good. |

I’ve only been playing for 1.5 months, so I’m still trying to get the basics down. It’s nice being able to get some time behind the clubs at home. 1.5 months? Interesting if that's the case. Tell us more. My high school aged son has been playing for about a year and joined the golf team this year. He has been begging me and my wife to pick up the game so we could all golf together. He took us to play a round of golf at our local 9 hole course toward the end of January. The 3 of us played out of his bag. We all had a great time, but 3 golfers playing out of one bag is kind of difficult. He finally got us interested in the game, then we were gifted some clubs by my wife’s cousin. She got a set of Lady Edge clubs and I was gifted a Wilson bag, 909D3, an Adams 3H, 56* Cleveland and a putter that needed a new grip. I needed a set of irons, so I dove down the YouTube rabbit whole looking for the most forgiving beginner irons and settled on a used set of Ping G410s. This started the disease. I was not satisfied going to the range once a week, so I bought a hitting mat and net to use in the yard. My you tube rabbit hole led me to discover the Garmin R10. I need all the help I can get and live in the middle of nowhere, so I bought it. The 3 of us have had so much fun hitting with that setup and even played our local course on it when we got rained out last weekend. My son was the top golfer on his HS team at his tournament on Tuesday. He said that chipping on the simulator probably helped him the most. |

I recommend working on your grip to start with. Very little improvement can happen with a lousy grip. Tons of youtube videos on it as well as training aids. Always remember that golf is hard... even when you're playing well. It's wonderful that you can enjoy the game as a family! Congrats to your son

Only shitty part is we're set at 8' gimmes with an auto 2 putt. Wish it could be set for auto 2 putt outside 20' and let me hit some 10 footers.
