  1. I also do nothing but 5-6’ putts pre-round, ideally perfectly straight and a bit uphill. I may do a few straight downhillers if the speed is unusually fast, but that’s rare.


    Best tip I have is to make sure you’re swinging by rocking your shoulders ONLY, allowing your arms and hands to remain passive. Once you’re doing that equal length back and through, you’ve taken most of the swing variables out of play, so emphasis can be on speed and read.

  2. Funny you bought a bag first. 

    Yeah I found a backpack so I can bike there

    Ended up getting a Phaze II at the pro shops recommendation. I was going to get a Hammer but he suggested I might struggle a bit controlling it just yet.

  3. Our beach town had an absolutely ancient bowling alley less than a mile away from my house that finally went under in 2018. This disgusting lot/building sat for a few years and then it was announced someone would buy and rebuild it. 4 years and like $8M later, it re opened yesterday and is fantastic. 20 lanes, arcade, restaurant and huge, upstairs outdoor bar

    Bought my shoes and bag yesterday. Will hunt for a ball today. Totally going to become a bowler for days when golfing is out of the question

    (Check back in 2-3 months to see if I have a barely used ball and ball bag for sale here)

  4. So....  I was in need of some new clubs.  
    I was still playing (when I did play), on some Callaway X-20's, and I just bought a set of the Titleist T-300's.  (5w-48 degree)
    I wanted an all Titleist bag, so I went with 3W, and I'm looking at Hybrids and I can't decide between a 3H at 18 degrees or a 4H at 21.
    My old Callaway 3H was 21 degree and I hit it pretty well.

    Did you mean to say 5i-48 instead of 5w? Most 5w are equivalent to 3h, but the 4h should play a bit more than a step above the 5i so that should be a good club to include
  5. For non nerd version. I only put equipment I own on the red dots which are very specific facilities. Choosing to do it this way makes it cost effective and the most robust and reliable deployment possible.

  6. What rock or band T shirts are ubiquitous in that it's not uncommon to see someone wearing one in public, yet you cannot name one of their songs?

    I'll start.

    Tool
    Phish
    Insane clown posse

    I think a large amount of Tool fans are fucking dweebs but grouping them with these four is rather disrespectful. They've put out some great music. 


    A tool fan would know how to count to 3

  7. Where are you placing the ball in your stance with the 3w? I’ve been able to dial mine in by relearning ball position. It’s taken a number of range sessions to get comfortable with though.

    I’d agree that it needs to look right first and foremost. If you don’t feel confident with that club the misses can be disastrous

  8. Don’t ya love the 15 holes in even par but shoot 78 days?!?!

    There at least 4 totally wasted strokes on those three holes. On 9 I barely pulled it into a hazard and had to drop. On 10 I juuuuuust missed a perfect 6 iron that clipped the bottom of a limb, kicked right into the trunk of the same tree and then rolled back to the spot I just swung from.

    And then the aforementioned 4 jack
