GOLF thread

I shoot mid-90's to high 80's (not from the tips) at basic courses, but a mild slice starts to leak in at some point, almost every round. If I REALLY was motivated to break 80, I'd practice my putting diligently, because, like most folks, that is where I hemorrhage the most strokes.

I heard a pro say one time that people will spend $500+ for a driver that they hit 12-15 times per round and have a putter that looks like they stole from a putt putt course in their bag when they putt 30-45 times per round. He said make sure you have a quality putter because you do get what you pay for and I have found that to be true.

They have one of their drivers for $229 right now. Has some decent reviews. I’m debating pulling the trigger. It’s half of what most brand name drivers cost now.

Their top of the line driver is $299 right now and it's normally $529 which is about the same as most other top names. If you do a "bag fitting" you get 14 of their 0211 model clubs, a bag, a hat and get fitted for around $2,100 and that is as cheap as it would be to get fitted and purchase the same amount of stuff from other big name companies if not cheaper.

I’ve found with today’s technology, finding the proper shaft is the most important piece of the puzzle. Find a head that looks good to you when you set it down. Then get fitted with the right shaft. Kick points and all that gobbledygook do make a difference.

Do offset drivers actually correct minor swing flaws or is it just a load of crap?

Why wouldn't you just buy an adjustable driver, where you can play with loft and draw/N/fade bias? Those actually do work to some degree (although no substitute for a good swing and practice)

So I am curious about something. We have been playing a foursome on a busy day where we are waiting on the group ahead of us and they are waiting on the group in front of them, etc. The group behind us was a twosome and at the end of the round made a snarky comment about people not letting them play through. So if the course is full and every group is waiting on the one in front of them is it common courtesy to let a smaller group play through?

I always let a faster group play through if nobody is in front of us and there have been times when my daughter and I were just working on her game and playing slow so I even let foursomes play through but if they can't go any faster than what we can play I don't see the need. What do you do in that situation?

I believe 4somes have precedence.

On a jammed course, the 2some should know better than to bitch. If someone lets them through it's a bonus, not their right.
 
Is Steve Sands the biggest dumb ass golf announcer on television? Please get him off the air. Big drama and cliche man. Can’t stand him.
 
The contrast in Bryson and Cantlays approach to golf is great to see head to head, in what’s been match play all day. They are putting on a show. Pulling for Cantlay.

Go back and forth with Bryson. 95% good guy but his 5% asshole is major asshole.
Glad he lost after he did this today.
 
Starting to think Bryson is just not socially experienced for one reason or another.

With that said, with so much at stake, and him being the one with clowns yelling Brooksy at him over and over, I have no problem with him asking Cantlay to stop distracting him. The guy is getting a lot of harassment in the stands, pretty much unlike anybody else.

That up and down from the creek was maximum clutch. I am a fan.

Looking forward for both of them on the Ryder Cup teams for years to come.
 
It takes a special level of dbag to go to a Golf Tournament and yell out anything other than regular applause to a player. Maybe I am just getting old but when I go to a PGA event I will clap my hands, make a sigh sound if a putt does not go in or give a player a tiny bit of encouragement. Yelling out the crap these fans do today is ridiculous and wish they would start removing them in droves. They couldn't "hold the jockstraps" of any of these guys on tour and only wish they had an ounce of the game Bryson has.

Hopefully, the Masters can continue to keep the trash out of its tournament. They seem to be the only ones who are able to keep a lid on it.

Yea I am not a fan of it and think it is embarrassing as hell. Started with the Bababooey and all that crap. If as an adult, you need to be heard on a national broadcast yelling that or anything else, then man, I feel really sorry for you.

We’ll said. Totally agree. Our society is gradually breaking down. Damn shame. I likeBryson and he doesn’t deserve this crap. And the writers keep goading this kind of stuff on so they can write something.

That's because 75% of the patrons there are Biden-esque senile.....they don't even know what they are watching.

Every tournament has their idiots...that will never change.
