Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PhotonKV: Break it up, you'll hit a lot of balls. Driver, maybe fairway woods one session. Irons and maybe a hybrid if needed another day. I'm not a fan of indoor wedge fittings. I found through various fitting experiences that I got the most for my game from a putter fitting. I was always a decent putter, but they put me in an inch shorter putter and it made a big difference in my on course stats, almost 2 strokes per round. If you're a Vet or First Responder, check out PXG for their "Heros" prices and a good fitting experience if they have a fitter nearby Agreed most people play putters that are too long for them not really their fault as most golf stores have 3 lengths available 34,35,36 , I went for a putting lesson and it was well worth it showed me why my set up was wrong and made subtle adjustments also had a laser to check my putter face alignment ,ill go back to him this spring on how to properly read greens , it’s already saved me a ton of strokes . |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tanren37: Not sure where to go yet, there's Club Champion, Golftec or Puetz, local range pro also fits, but he doesn't have much on the shelf for shafts or heads. Currently use the old Costco discount Callaway set, I came a long way with them last year, but its time to invest in some real clubs for the confidence alone. For irons, I need more height, I hate even attempting a green with my 7i, it'll just bounce right off. Can't get consistent strikes with the 6i, it's either thin or fat. I hit my 8i the same distance as my 9i,  , but the 9i and PW are surgical. Misses are typically pulls.Driver is consistent, wouldn't argue with some more distance. 3W belongs in the dumpster, can't hit it off the deck and if I don't thin it, hook it to hell and gone. And I usually have a 3 shot minimum with the putter, so that's fun.  EDIT - Where's that Golf Forum mods?! We got two forums with no new posts since January and "Zombie Central," really, half the first page is from 2022 or earlier. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BigPolska: Just the daily bump until we get our own place  I will echo what the poster above me said about simulator values vs. the real world. 260 in the middle is much better than 300 OB. I will add that proper technique is more important than swinging as hard as you can. Trying to kill it just leads to swing faults and injury.

If you routinely hit these pure, the face gets a bright gold area right on the sweet spot I should have clarified…my “set” was a 2, 5,7, LW. I’m missing the 5, but the 60 deg Cleveland is still in my bag. When I got the bug in college, dad gave me his set of Ping Eye 2s amongst some mid-80s TM woods. I played that set forever, but wanted the BeCu equivalent. They were routinely $800+ at GolfSmith. Fast forward to today, my 12 year old is now into it, so while shopping for grips, I found a nice set (minus the LW of course) for a good price on EBay. Found the LW later and then a BeCu Cleveland 60 to match my first set. I need you to tell my kid about modern vs old lofts. He once long balled me on a big par 3 with a smaller club. I was 20 yd short with an 8 and he was pin high and waaay to the right with a 9. I still hear about it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Gator96: Golf is something I genuinely wish I was into. Didn't grow up around it/never played. Start by going to a driving range. Lots of fun, not too expensive. A lot of them actually provide drivers , or you can bring your own. Good way to dip your toe into it. From there buy a brand new starter set of clubs, or surf Marketplace for a used set. DO NOT buy a partial used set. If you buy a used set, make sure it has all of the irons , at least a pitching wedge , a driver & putter. From there watch plenty of you tube vids to get the basics down, take a lesson or two and go have fun |

I just started playing last Sept. Hell of a time to start.
I started out with my old Wilson Set that I bought back in 2000 or so. My coworkers and I would go to the local muni course nearby, since we worked midnight shift, and we wanted a place to hang out and have some post work adult beverages, but didn't want to get the evil eye. I'll have to grab a pic of my kit when I get home, but right now my bag has Ping 430 Max driver, 430 Max 3 wood, and a 430 3 hybrid, Wilson Matrix 3-9 irons, Vokey SM9 48, 52, and 56 wedges, and whatever auction blade putter I pulled out of my dad's garage back in 2000. I'm currently getting lessons along with my son, and the two of us have also joined our local Spark Golf league. Here's the boy playing on Feb 2nd after he finished his "digital learning day" school work.

 Attached FileI reckon I started playing about 20 months ago? Grabbed my son a set last Christmas, so he's been playing a little over a year. He plays on his high school team, and we're signing him up for the junior league (Operation36) at our home course. High hopes for this summer. I took about 4 months off from hinting my driver, but with the warm weather I have had some good results lately with it. |

It’s really good, I just prefer the looks/feel of the TSR3. Performance between them is close enough for me to be a wash. I'm 100% a Callaway fan boi after the ECPC experience. The staff was super cool, and the outdoor fitting with a launch monitor was eye opening to say the least. The putter fitting was the best though. There's something about seeing the roll/skid numbers improve with tweaks to your loft/lie, and knowing, as you stand over an 8-foot par save putt, that no matter what happens, it's NOT the putter's fault. Edit: it was interesting to hear their putter fitting gurus that fit pros explain (and demonstrate) that almost any putter model can be set up optimally for almost any golfer, and that the "look" that the golfer likes is considered very important. I'm left eye dominant and play right handed. The Versa alignment fixed a big issue on my setup that I literally couldn't "see" and it's made a HUGE difference in regards to starting on line on mid to long putts. |

I have the oversized irons. I probably would have gone with Paradym but I bought mine right before those became the new hotness. I swapped all the grips for a Golf Pride set with better sweaty-hand texture. It made a world of difference when I'm on the range here in hot-ass humid Florida. The factory grips felt slicker than owl shit with just a touch of moisture on them. I sweat like Tiger Woods when I play so we are basically the same golfer. I've never been great at hitting woods and hybrids but I'm way better with this set than I was with the Cobras I used previously. |

My local Top Golf has the option to use a set of Ai Smoke for an extra $25 and I'm tempted but also telling myself not to do it because I'm certainly not better than my current clubs and don't need an excuse to buy new ones. It's a brilliant marketing move by Callaway. |

.So Mods, I'm just gonna start a bunch of golf topics in GD, we can just move them to the new Golf Forum when it's up right? Next topic: What kind of gains could be expected going from a $250 driver to $600 driver? Like a Mavrik vs. Paradym/AI Smoke? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By forager: "not even god can hit a 1 Iron" "Yes my son?" My driver usually stays in the bag in favor of this one https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/93480/IMG_1725_jpeg-3154753.JPG I use an Eye 2 2i in place of my driver when I’m not confident in it. Still shocks me every time that i can hit that decently well (long and straight) but not my driver or other irons.  Currently playing TM M2’s. In honor of the WITB - TM M2 Driver (hzrdus shaft) TM Sim 3 W Ping Eye 2 2i TM M2 4-P TM HI-Toe Raw wedges 52, 56, 60 PXG Bat Attack putter. Want new Irons. May be getting 790s or the PXG 0311s. Price point in PXGs is better in my opinion. Do want TM to restock the Stealth Bomber (black 2i with a cool paint job). |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Logcutter: Ooooh, I'll bet that's easy to hit nice and high. My 4i is 20* I have a 2 iron as well as the rest of the normal 3 thru wedges. My kids were born 2003-04 and I just got back into the game last year when my son started playing. These were quite dusty and I still need new grips.. the player is quite rusty too. |

I lose my mind and become a neanderthal when i swing the driver... that big club makes me come out if my shoes... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FE2O3_2Al: Loved those clubs. First “forgiving” irons I learned with a cheap knockoff set. Ended up making a set with Golfsmith components that I played for years. Now, if you want stupid forgiveness and inexpensive, Maltby is the way to go. KE4 Max irons 4-GW $399 I had a set that I gave to a buddy when I got my Callaway irons. I'll getting another set for a spare set to keep at my lake place. They're ridiculously easy to hit. |

In the spirit of keeping this thread going, how about posting hidden gems from our AO? I'm in SE/Mid MI so I'll suggest Willow Wood in Portland MI. Great layout, not to pricy, with great greens in the summer.
Timber Trace in Pinckney. Big property, lots of room to miss it. Under new ownership and they're doing some fantastic improvements. Huntmore in Brighton/Hartland area. Great condition typically. Target golf. Fun course with an excellent practice facility. Bring plenty of balls if you spray it. Washtenaw Golf club in Ypsilanti. Soft spot for this one as I grew up on the 11th hole. It was private for 100 years but has been open for public play for a while now. Typically in country club shape. Recently they removed a bunch of big trees to open it up. Some made sense, others didn't, but it's more playable for the masses now. I"ll post some fun ones from our travels in a bit. |

IMO, the best course for the money in the Phoenix area is Aguila. Great layout, 7000 yards from the tips, and it’s always in good shape. There are obviously nicer courses here, but you’ll pay for it. Falcon Dunes at Luke AFB is good if you’re current/former military or first responder. |
