GOLF thread

I guess the Ryder Cup is pricing for the NYC market, which has about a million dollars for every ten dollars most places have. Just curious, what are NYY playoff tickets going for? Or if the LAD win and play the NYY, the tickets will be insane. I don't much like it either, but it is just the world we live in.

Titleist. You are welcome.
I'm sure all the top brands are equally good. A factor you are not considering is what looks good to his eye as he is standing over the ball, giving him confidence and trust in his swing. I love my Pings, but someone else might hate them. But yeah, I'm sure Titleist is one of the brands he should test/consider.
 
My son bought some Cleveland Irons a couple years ago. I love them, it may be my mind playing tricks on me, but whenever I hit one of his irons, it always seems to be better than I hit my own irons.

To follow up, saw a blurb where LAD are pricing tix for upcoming WS at $750+, only tix left on Stubhub are way in top corner of upper deck foul lines, at $900 or so.

The "specialty" events in all sports are off the charts ridiculous.

You can get a 7 day grounds ticket for the Memorial next year for $285. If you go 4 days, then $70/day is a helluva deal for this event.

I am definitely considering how the club looks when u set it down. That is my top priority. If u don’t like the look you won’t play well most likely. There are a bunch of good looking and performing clubs out there. Titleist has a great line of irons.

God only knows what Keeneland will ask for the newly constructed Paddock villas when they get the breeders cup back
 
Getting fitted for new irons today. Have not researched anything. Going in with an open mind with no preconceived notions.
This question is for anyone but any suggestions on the best place in the Lexington area to get fitted? Needing to get my daughter fitted and some new clubs. She, like you, is open to whatever brand looks and feels the best. She hopes to try Titleist, Ping, Callaway and any other recommendations the fitter may have.

No kidding. The pretentiousness of the new blood at Keeneland is really bad. Yes, they have made great improvements aesthetically that were needed, however, they seem to go out of their way to keep the avg Joe Fan from visiting there.
 
Busted the head off my PW and 7 iron hitting off mats. I'll be shopping for a new set for next season. 🤣
 
I hate hitting off mats. Way back in the 90's, when I lived near Meadowbrook, and used to play 3 or so times a week there, I used to get a talking to regularly about just dropping my ball on the grass beside those concrete "tee boxes", and hitting from there. Old dude that ran it took that shit personally.
 
It was not a sticker. it was a UK logo on the book. Looked like a leather yardage book with a UK emblem.
 
The article, along with several others if you google what his favorite college team is, say he is a Tarheels fan which is what I said. I didn't say anything about where he played. 🙄
You also said Flener probably put "it" on there as a joke. It is not a sticker and there are several pictures that show the same book from different tournaments. It is a UK themed yardage book, not a sticker, that was my point.;)
 
Anybody use Skechers golf shoes? I have a casual pair for around the house which I really like, but never had their golf shoes.

Have a pretty wide foot, but they do make wide sizes, which is a plus.

Kuchar used to. Matt Fitzpatrick and Brooke Henderson are wearing one of their top models now. I would imagine they would have to be excellent to withstand the grind of walking a golf course for days.

I have a pair of their slip-ins for casual days and they feel great.

I think he was asking if posters in here have them, not pro golfers. We know Kuchar does, we have seen the commercials and watched him play. I BELIEVE he was asking to find out what people in this thread thought of them as he probably will not be able to ask Kuchar, Fitzpatrick, or Henderson their opinion of them. But I could be wrong, but doubt it. Who knows, maybe the next event he goes to, he can yell at Kuchar from outside the ropes "Hey Kuch, do you like the Skeecher golf shoes ?" He also stated he had a casual pair, but was curious about the golf shoes.

No, he was specifically asking about PGA tour players. If you couldn't decipher that, then that is on you and the need to have the teleprompter fired up to read.
