I can't wait Derek! I'm actually planning to get a round in Saturday with some guys from work and it's going to be great to be out on the course after a couple of less than stellar weekends. When though I haven't seeing a club in a couple of weeks, I'm planning on having a good time and not being overly concerned on what I shoot, I just want to play.

Another great call with a lot of discussion and topics covered. Another week with a lot of participation, 26 members on at various times all providing questions or answers through both the call itself and chat feature. Pretty cool for me to see Derek @EasyPutter on the course, especially since I was still at work and could only hope for that opportunity today. @Cfhandyman great video, I watched it after getting home, and thanks for providing some insight into the whole production during the Community Call. Already looking forward to next week's call with the yet to be announced guest.

4am but a good start to the day. Had some pancakes and coffee now off to work for what will be a very long, but I hope fun day.

Oh what a feeling to be on the Community Call again from a golf course! seems like forever since I last joined a call from last year's regular course Elma Meadows GC along Buffalo Creek. Today was from my old regular course Cazenovia GC along Cazenovia Creek in South Buffalo bordering my town of West Seneca. That "stream" in the UK would be called a "river" and that ball under the tree was 2 feet from escaping like @Yellow Ball off for a swim down a 20 foot high and steep embankment. And you got it right I am trying to get back to my 20 handicap before Kingsmill AND trying to train the clubs and balls to miss the unplayable parts of the course! Thanks Jason! I'm always thinking of you when I connect in from a golf course to give you at least one vicarious round a week to be out there with me and 40 days tomorrow until we get to do it for real at Kingsmill

Another week and another great call with various topics of discussion. Especially enjoyed the insight to @Cfhandyman's appearance on the CC channels fitting video as well as the discussion around swing styles/methods to gain speed while maintaining control.

Ditto, but I wanna join Big and Neal for Strapped

Just picked up a 21 Apex 19° Hybrid with my fave ACCRA FX 3.0 shaft in hybrid mode at flex M1. I am eager to try the Apex, and the ACCRA shaft that matches up with my driver shaft (which will also fit my Paradym X hybrid).

Took the Qi10 Max out today for 18 at Apple Tree Golf Course. ATGC is a par 71 course. Today, I shot a respectable 96 which is basically the same as shooting a 97 at Green Tree Golf Course my past two outings. Still, glad to not see much regression after a week and a half. The driver did exactly what I asked of it today, actually seeing a bit more carry distance but not more than a few yards. Was less focused on driving today as through the testing I did notice a decline with the consistency of my irons. So maybe, the less pressure in that area helped. All in all it was a great day (except 4 putting a par 3 ) but that is a completely different tale.

I came to the conclusion that this was the year to finally retire both of my aging Bushnell Range Finders. Although both were still fully functional I felt it was time to replace them with a new one. After some due diligence and scouring innumerable golf sites (it received high praise and great reviews at this years PGA Show), I decided I would go with the new offering from Shot Scope, their Pro ZR Rangefinder. I've taken it out to the course a few times already and I'm more than pleased with it.

Good morning Spies on a cool and wet Friday morning here in the Motor City. At work and will be another long day here for me, but those will be ending shortly. Supposed to be colder and cloudy on Saturday, so I may head to Carl's for their range facilities rather than the one closer to the house. Sunny on Sunday and about 50 degrees, so I will get a round in then. Hope that your day is the best it can be, and that something enjoyable may be in your plans.

Good morning everyone! I slightly overslept this morning and I didn't know why. I still made it in plenty of time since I get to work insanely early. I'm just glad it's Friday and I have plans to play tomorrow. It's going to be wet as we have some storms coming in today. I hope all of you have a wonderful start to your weekend!

Hi all! I see this thread is directed to Club Ho's, but I don't quite keep that kind of budget! I did, though, buy some new kicks for the season. Does that qualify for the thread? Anyway, I bought a pair of Footjoy Hyperflex Carbon. Got them online without trying on since they were the winners of the Best Spiked Shoe 2023. First ordered them in my usual size but felt too roomy. I foolishly didn't read the Footjoy page, but the reviews have that True to Fit category and most reviewers were saying to size down a half. So I returned them, which was fully covered and easy at the local FedEx. I'm glad I did because these are simply the best golf shoes I've ever owned. I used to be a New Balance guy since that's my usual footwear most days, but my last pair of NB Defender's were never as comfortable or stable as these. I had the Fresh Foam Links Pro before that and I feel like NB's got a way to go to be anywhere near the Hyperflex. I like them so much that I even plan to write a review on them later! I feel like NB is trying to ride this trendy, fashion-forward aesthetic with their golf shoes since they did those Malbon collabs and I can't get on board with it. They look cool, but wonder if they're athletic enough. Anybody rocking with NB's or the Hyperflex carbon? Agree/disagree?

Another range session, more incremental progress and a growing comfort level with the QI-10 core head. As an aside, I recently added a new toy to the bag. A 13.5 degree BRNR mini driver, that is an absolute pleasure to hit and when it produces shots such as this: Rapsodo_MLM2PRO_110051_18040713export.mov It gives me an insurance policy and takes the pressure off of being perfect with the driver. As if the QI knew it needed to get it’s act together, I managed this with the driver, which is more in line with what I want off the tee. Rapsodo_MLM2PRO_110051_18040726export.mov The work continues…

@sirchunksalot thank you for your kind words. I had a lot of fun doing this. It helps that I know Ian and Mike well and have been going to TXG for years and implicitly trust their advice and recommendations.

We fortunately have a physical therapist at my office. She gave me some stretches and exercises to help. It felt better all day so I’m taking that as a positive! My son had a blast on the mower tonight. He put on his ear muffs and glasses and said “let’s do this” with two thumbs up!

I ran into Randy at the ATL airport once - great guy!

I’d love to play a round with the BustaJack crew.

Morning spies! Up and at em early again for work. Going to be a busy day today, hopefully get some practice in tonight. And fingers crossed the weather is nice! Have a great day everyone!!

@arodrig29 that Patriot bag is absolutely GORGEOUS my goodness. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Oreo bag, but after seeing @GolfSpy_BEN’s Patriot and now yours it is clear to me what my second choice would be. Great pics!

That's what happened to me when I first found their site. I was just looking for a unique ball marker and now I have two of them. They are solidly made and I am definitely going to get into their headcovers soon.

Work is really getting in the way of these calls Hate that I missed seeing most of you - hoping to join next week!

Good evening, Spies! After a day's work and the two-hour drive to the next port of call, I decided to officially begin the Fit For Golf test here at the hotel. I won't repeat the semi-detailed description I put on the testing thread, but here it is: FFG Workout #1

I lost my gap wedge (Callaway Apex 21 A wedge) at a course that is not my home course. I’m not sure where I left it there. I didn’t notice it was missing until the 18th hole. I got fit for my clubs about three years ago thru Truespec golf which was awesome and I highly recommend them as fitters/builders, but they are expensive. I contacted them yesterday to see what the price would be to order a new A wedge…it came back as 400 after taxes…I almost pulled the trigger on it. I realized that it was way too much for a club, I put my foot down. I did a little searching and found that I could have the same exact club built from 2nd swing golf for less then half the price. im pretty bummed I lost a club and no one returned it, I’ve called the pro shop everyday for two weeks. Im pretty excited I found a good place to replace my club with the exact shaft and specs.

Morning to the MGS world! Coffee is in the cup, and for unknown reasons I've been up since 0330. Hoping to get 9 in this afternoon and tomorrow after GC duties. Need to mow the lawns at some point this weekend too! Definitely have some golf bag envy looking over the intros on the Ghost Golf bag testing thread!

Been meaning to go further into these final reviews and have it on agenda to do today. Curious who is going to make this their full time driver or not!

Good question, the bag that came in has the strap for a right hand carry. Meaning once you put the bag on your back the clubs sit to your right. That being said, the straps are very easy to swap. I plan on taking some in depth pics about the process.

My wife gets me…sent me this today… https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4OjZgrvKqr/?igsh=MTl5ano0dHR0MzI3dQ%3D%3D

I'm going with Bryson. The more I have watched his stuff the more I like him and his thought process on the course. I don't have the scientific brain and so much is feel, but the way he adjust the club depending on lie and thought process, I would love to play a round.

Do you rate bridges too? I rate bridges. B

It was another great call today and I had a lot of fun getting to talk to y'all. I'm with @TSauerand I have the TXG video with @Cfhandyman on my to watch list tonight. Derek, it was good to see you out on the course today.

I have to say that I would love to do a Break 75 with Rick Shiels.

Dan Grieves or ShortGameChef. That means I am getting a short game lesson and potentially improving my game.

It was a dark and stormy night .... Oh, no wait. That's a totally different story. My bad. It wasn't so much stormy as it was just rainy yesterday morning. I'd been watching the weather for the last week+ to see how it would be on the day. As we got closer and closer, the weather was not looking good. At one time, it was showing not just , but . I was becoming more and more disheartened about demo day actually happening. But as the day arrived, we were back to just with a bit lower percentage than we were the week prior. I wasn't taking the entire day off work, as the festivities weren't starting till 10am. So, I started my day like any other, angrily getting out of bed upset I still have a decade plus before I can retire and focus purely on golf (come on lottery, help a brother out). I was still watching the weather app, but more so just looking out the windows in the house at the sky or the driveway/roads for their dampness factor. The morning wasn't off to a strong start as it was raining hard enough to hear it on the roof. A light rain you can't hear, but if it's strong enough I can hear it and that's not good. As the early morning went on, the rain began to lighten up and became just a slight drizzle by about 9:30am or so. Then by 10am, it had stopped. The weather app still showed rain the rest of the day as I checked out the hourly forecast, but it wasn't showing anything heavy, luckily. So, after wandering around the house for an hour or so after logging off work for the day at 10am, I decided to get myself to the demo day and get this party started. One of my memories of my old HS football coach, who I had great respect for and who always saw the best in me, was that of a saying he gave me my freshman year. "We play how we practice." Although he gave a lot of good advice over the 4 years I played for him, this one always stuck with me. I took it to every sport I played in HS and even into college. I still use this advice today. If I'm going to the range to hit balls, I dress just like I would to play a round. If I'm going for a lesson, I dress just like I would to play a round. Yup, you guessed it. This works for something as simple as a demo day. With the threat of rain and the temps at 60* max, I dressed appropriately while still maintaining the ability to swing with full freedom. I grabbed my Taylormade Bubble Shaft golf umbrella and off I went. I had been to a single vendor demo day last summer (Titleist), but it was a different set up. We had appointments and a particular topic to cover in the meeting. It was more of a loose fitting than a demo day, but there were some people who popped in during my hour to grab a club or two that they hit next to me. This was very different. Taylormade, Callaway, Mizuno, Titleist, Cleveland/Srixon, XXIO, Cobra, and Ping (PXG cancelled), all lined up (in that order left to right) on the range. The weather certainly kept many golfers away as it wasn't overly busy, and I had no real issues getting around and hitting. Each OEM had their tents up with their names plastered on them so you wouldn't forget who you were talking to. Taylormade had 2 tents, which didn't really surprise me. I had my plan of action before I got there, as there were only a few options I wanted to try, and this was all about irons. I've researched all the options from various places (especially MGS) along with initial pricing from their websites or the Golf Galaxy customizer. Wilson wasn't there, or I'd be checking out the Dynaforged. XXIO was of no interest to me. Callaway really didn't have any irons I was interested in. Although Cobra has the Forged Tec, they are due for a refresh soon. Taylormade does have the P790/P770 that are of interest, but just not today. Ping has the i530, but they are the most expensive irons on my list, by several hundred dollars. Like the Taylormades, not today. My plan was simple - Titleist T-Series, Srixon ZX4/5 MKii, Mizuno JPX923 HMPro/Forged. Hit them, get a feel for them, and see what shakes out. My other goal was to try and look at graphite shaft options, as my plan is to go that route for new irons to help with my elbow issues and eventual hand/wrist/shoulder issues down the road. MMT's, Recoils, Steelfiber, and TGI/PGI were all on the table (MMT/Recoil being on the top of my list). LET'S DO THIS!! I started with the Titleist tent. I knew Ken from last summer and thought that would be a nice way to ease into the day. I was nervous since my swing is far from accurate/consistent at this point, especially with only a single round under my belt. We chatted for a minute and then we got to business. I started with the T350 as it's the most forgiving and I needed that for many reasons, but especially being cold and not warmed up. He gave me a pre-built option with the Mits Tensei shaft on it to get started. Not a heavy shaft, and in R-flex. But good enough to get started with. The first thing that I thought of when I put it down at address, what is Tony Covey bitching about?! These are NOT huge shovels by any stretch of the imagination. The Cleveland Zipcore XL are, but not the T350's. I've seen CB's and MB's with a thicker top line than these. I'm liking these already. After a few tops and skulls with the first swings of the day, I finally found some good strikes. Although not at full swing speed, when I struck it well it felt like the very description @ole gray gave in the forum test last year - "butter on hot toast melting in ya mouth!" This must be what @GolfSpy_BEN feels when he's hitting all those blades! I could have stopped the demo day right there and been good to go for setting up a full Titleist fitting. But there were more toys to play with. The gentleman next to me was hitting the T350 8-iron. He asked if we could switch so he could see the 7-iron flight and feel. I figured I could see the 8-iron flight as well, so we swapped. Again, it was a wonderful experience. The 8-iron looked and felt just like the 7. I was in heaven and knew my Takomo's days were numbered. Next, I had Ken build me up a T200 with the Recoil 95 shaft. Again, these looked great. A bit smaller than the T350, but the blending potential becomes obvious the minute you put it down after hitting the T350. It took a few swings to adjust to the new shaft and head, but when I connected on one it was magical. Again, that buttery soft feel on good strikes. Bullet straight flights. I just couldn't stop swinging these clubs. I kept having to go to the ball bucket to grab more and more. But then I remembered I was there for more than just Titleist. Although I didn't hit the T150, when I go for my formal vendor neutral fitting, those will be on my list to at least try along with the T200 and T350. After thanking Ken for his time, I moved next door to the Mizuno booth. Even Ken told me that if he didn't work for Titleist, he'd be playing Mizuno. So that was a positive vibe along with all the good reviews I'd seen/read about their various options. I was warmed up now too, so going to Mizuno next was perfect timing. But my stay with Mizuno was going to take me on a bit of wild twist. After checking out the various heads in the Mizuno tent, I settled on the JPX923 HM Pro to start with. Standard settings and such, and with the MMT105 shaft. This was one I really thought would fit the bill well for me. After a few swings, even with good contact, I realized I was wrong. So I had Brett swap out the shaft for the Recoil 95. I seem to do better with the Recoil than others, at least to this point. I had hit the JPX921 HM/HM Pro a few years ago and wasn't really that impressed with it. It wasn't harsh or overly hard, but it wasn't very smooth or buttery either. The JPX923 version is very different than its predecessor. I was making better contact all around with the JPX, and I was finding it to feel just as buttery as the Titleist was. Now I had a proper competition going. Like the Titleist, I was hit strong down the range with little to any movement. For me, straight is good! As fun as it is to see that baby draw I have come to recognize, it can on rare occasion get away from me. More so with the driver than anything else, but it does occasionally with the irons. So I'm perfectly happy with straight. I wasn't hitting s or anything, but then again, I wasn't swinging as hard as I could as I was trying to hit quality, focused shots. Plus, with range balls I wasn't going to get the proper distance anyway. After enjoying my rounds with the HM Pro, I asked Brett to swap me out for the Forged head. This was one I was really looking forward to hitting from their lineup. I'd been eyeing the JPX921 Forged for some time, and these are supposedly a lot more forgiving and longer than the 921 model. I'm glad I waited. As great as the HMPro felt, the Forged was that much better. Again, straight, piercing flights down the range. It was like listening to a favorite song on repeat. Enjoyment, over and over again. Then, things went for a bit of an unexpected turn. I heard Brett mention to another golfer that he did have the Shaft Optimizer with him. I had used this back when I tried the 921's and it did give me the outcome I expected from a couple previous fittings. So I thought it would be a good idea to run through it again with Brett with the new line of heads. So he grabbed the shaft with the Optimizer and through on the HMPro head, got me all situated, and asked me to give him 3 good swings. Now as many of you probably have experienced, providing quality, accurate, and normal swings on demand isn't exactly easy. I was a bit nervous that I'd skull it or fat it or something just as horrible. Not today. I hit probably the 3 best swings of the day, back to back to back. Divots in front of the ball and everything! I looked back at him and joked that I needed a full set of shafts with the Optimizer on them. Although he did laugh at my joke while mentioning the $2500 per shaft upcharge, his facial expression wasn't what I expected. Neither what he said next. "You're not going to like the results." Needless to say, I was a little perplexed at that comment. My mind raced trying to figure out what he meant. What he told me wasn't even close to where my mind went. When I did the optimizer a few years ago, it gave me pretty much what I expected - DG120 S300, DGS300, PX LZ 6.0, among a few others. Pretty typical for my swing at that time. Well, swings change. Even with my speed at only about 82.5mph (again, not full speed, but accurate to my actual swing motion), it gave some interesting results. I know very well that every swing is unique, and depending on how we swing a shaft we can fit into any type of shaft with any weight or any flex. I also know that flex is a pretty useless term these days. There are no standards around flex throughout the industry, so there's no point being attached to one flex over another. EI profiles are different between shafts, showing where it loads and unloads, where it's stiff and not, etc. But these results were still not remotely what I expected. They were all over the place in terms of what make, model, flex, and one even had a soft step mentioned. Weights were pretty consistent at least, around the DG120S I play now. I received these two screenshots this morning. He showed them both to me yesterday, but we really didn't go into the swing stats. Speed, Shaft Lean, and AoA I understand. But I'm trying to find information around Kick Angle and Release Factor. I wouldn't mind hearing their explanation for Tempo as well. It looked like I sped up as I went, which is probably why my Shaft Lean also started going down. At least my AoA is right where I want it. I found this doing a little research this morning. Tempo: 1 = Slowest, 9 = Fastest Toe Down: 1 = Slowest Transition, 9 = Fastest Transition Kick Angle: 1 = Less Forward Bend, 9 = More Forward Bend Release Factor: 1 = Late Release, 9 = Early Release The main reason Brett said what he did was that not a single shaft the Optimizer recommended was graphite. Not even farther down the list. You can see why I mentioned that things went for an unexpected turn. I was expecting completely different results. Completely different results. Even without the graphite options, the results just threw me into a head spin with all those strange flexes and shaft models. I played the PX LZ in 6.0 for a short time and enjoyed them. They had very similar feeling to the DG120, at least to me. The shaft pulls I bought were just a little short for me, so I reshafted into my DG120. I've tested some Modus shafts, and they were just ok. Nothing to really write home about. I hadn't really tested the KBS shafts at all. They've always been a bit pricey in the aftermarket. Oddly enough, Brett had the KBS Tour 120 S with the soft step in his testing box. So I figured, what the hell. Let's give it a go. I'm still not sold on staying with steel shafts, but I figured I'd try out what was suggested and see what happens. It's also good to note, none of the shafts suggested have upcharges with Mizuno. A couple were for Titleist. Trying to keep an open mind on shafts, I started hitting a few KBS Tour S SS with the Forged head. I wasn't sure what to expect as I had no experience with the KBS line at all. It actually felt pretty darn good to me. Pretty smooth, with good strikes and a good ball flight while not being overly high. I believe these are supposed to be a mid launch shaft, but with the SS I saw what I might consider a more mid/high launch flight. No idea on spin numbers, but launch looked pretty good to me. I then swapped out for the Modus 120X. Nope. Not going to be my shaft. I did not like it at all. Had trouble getting it to work with me at all. I didn't try the LZ at the Demo Day, but it'll be on my list on the next Demo Day on 5/4 in Knoxville. I figured I'd hit enough with Mizuno at this point, and needed to try and save swings for my last stop of the day - Srixon. After thanking Brett for all his help and eye-opening results, I wondered down a few tents to the Srixon/Cleveland pavilion. They had a few heads on the table and just 2 bags of shafts. Not really what I was expecting and a bit disappointing. They did have the Zipcore XL iron heads there, which was good since I wanted to see them. They are in fact quite large, and HEAVY. Much heavier than I expected them to be. I knew they'd be larger than the ZX line, but they were very oversized. Knowing I didn't have a lot of swings left in me (I'd been swinging for about 1.5 hours by this point), I went right to the ZX4. He didn't have much in the way of shafts for me, so I was stuck with the Modus 120X. I knew this wasn't a shaft I was going to get along with, but I wanted to ensure I got some swings in with Srixon. So I got to work. The MKii version is much better than the original ZX4. It's smaller with a lot less front to back size. The original seemed to border on SGI due to it's thickness. The MKii is much more centered in GI-land. I limited my swings with it since I wanted to hit the ZX5 as well, and I was getting tired. So I transitioned to the 5 and got back at it. It looked great at address and was thinner than the 4 was, as expected. But there was something I didn't expect. They both felt firm on contact to me. I expected it to be much softer and buttery like the Titleist and Mizuno's. But it didn't. Perhaps it was the shaft or the fact I was tired. Regardless, they fell to the bottom of the short list at this point. I'll test them again, probably first at the next Demo Day in a few weeks to ensure it wasn't a fluke. But it was disappointing regardless. Well, I didn't start out to write a about my experience yesterday, but that's what came out. All in all, it was a very productive 2+ hours at the range. Got to hit some stuff I really wanted to. Found out some interesting things about my swing and potential shafts. And was a bit disappointed in one of the brands I had high hopes for. But that's golf, and life I suppose.

You have me very intrigued with the Accra shafts Indy. Was looking for a shortened one in the used department but didn't have much success. Might have to bite the bullet soon if the new to me shaft I am waiting on isn't up to my liking for the Max.

Parts came in for the toolbox special. 10 minutes to swap the shocks , 15 minutes to clamp it down. Being that it is diamond plated ans I don't want to scratch the bed rails, I cut some strips of old rubber car floor mats to use as a protective barrier. This will also prevent water from being trapped between the 2 surfaces. Maybe it will act as a vibration dampener too? All in about $60.

I love the deep faced fairway woods. I had an X2Hot 3 Deep in my bag for years and when it finally wore out I went to a Big Bertha Mini 1.5 for a bit. Now that I am back up north I am hitting more three woods off the deck than the tee so I compromised and put an M5 in the bag lofted down to 14*.

How's the Ventus shaft working? Not QI related but is the BRNR easy to hit off the turf?

Personally I like minimal markings and could go with single dot or line. This would be my choice 110%

Taco Golf from New Zealand. Their courses look amazing and they are all hilarious, great golfers. I just started watching his channel recently and have pretty much watched every video he's created as well as all the Luke Kwon New Zealand trips. I figure I could also ask them with help on my game since they are all pros. If you haven't seen him, check him out... OKEH!!!

I got my second round in today with the new V5 from shotscope and the mindset balls. The mantra for today's round was focus, and be in the moment (mostly, not reliving a bad shot when it comes). Today's round while not my best, it was for sure the easiest round to manage my play and expectations. Early comparisons suggest this is working for me (while the tee shots are lower, fairways hit were much higher and putting was significantly higher for strokes gained). Last Year (2023) Today's round There really should a metric for calmness, I can't say enough how much easier the round felt today focusing on the mind set philosophy. Resting tomorrow, practice round Saturday and a 4 ball Match play event at Tehama on Sunday Happy Golfing....

Some great thoughts here - as I've mentioned before, I've been toying with the idea of a CB putter. And based on that article, I (like @jbern) could be a good candidate to go CB as I typically struggle on lag putting. Regardless, I plan on talking to my fitter about the CB option - who knows what could happen! @Cfhandyman - thanks for sharing the gravity grip, as I've never heard / hit one before. Curious if this could work on a LAB, given the grip differences with the press grips they normally sell with their putters. Plus, I'd have to imagine it could throw off the balanced weight of the putter, right? Also, I'd LOVE to see (someone else) in a pink head - I don't think I could pull that trigger.

Played 9 today. Not real well. Shot 43. Didn't get the driver going until the last 2 holes. Strengthened my grip a bit and that did the trick...maybe. Had some heavy rain last night so a lot of standing water throughout the course. I have a "heavy" hit tendency so wet conditions are not my fav. Did have some really nice mud balls though. Sure could have used some cart path run-outs today.

@buckpillar I hope they can get things figured out with your mother-in-law. @RichL85 I'm sorry to hear about your father-in-law and I hope they can get him taken care of. @Cfhandyman, I'm almost through the TXG video and I have to say I'm enjoying the banter between you, Ian, and Mike. I am extremely jealous of your ball striking ability.

I would love to be on Bob Does Sports because it looks like such a good time. Their content seems fun and inviting to any type of golfer.

A round with the Bob Does Sports crew would be hilarious.

Mentioned this on the community call, but we are basically booked out till August 1st and still have 4 or 5 booked in August. It will be a full season which is great, but once again we will slow up a bit and focus more on the current reivews before reaching out to more brands.

Nobody has seen a pink build. I personally don't have a problem with the "Bubba" model, but boy oh boy, I can just hear the razzing on the golf course. Mind you when I consistently make those 5-6 footers, that will shut them up. Look, if enough people demand it, I'm open to getting and testing it. So who wants to see me in pink?

Introduction: April 17th, 2024 Ghost Golf ANYDAY bag – Official MGS Forum Review by ARodrig29 Hello to all the spies out there, Truth be told, I found this forum at the exact, perfect time. Though I only have been playing golf since 2011 (I picked up the game later in life), I was growing frustrated with its difficulty. Golf is hard, and I was stuck in the ditch of angst. However, reading through all the posts really gave me a sense of community, if only from afar. The insight into strength training, product technology and advancement, game improvement methods, amongst other topics. They have really helped me fall in love with the game again, and most importantly, the mindset of enjoying the game of Golf. Who am I? I am a 44 year old husband to an amazing woman and a father to an equally amazing little girl. I am very involved in my local church and try my best to be as involved as possible with our local community. Professionally, I have had some sort of attachment to the plumbing industry since before birth. Being the son and grandson of plumbers, you can say it has always been in the blood. I chose to go in a different route and went into the supply and product manufacturing side of the plumbing and mechanical industry, which I have worked in one capacity or other for over 20 years. What region do I play? I currently reside in the upstate South Carolina area. Being born and raised in Miami, Florida, I initially cut my teeth surrounded by water hazards and gators (see video). IMG_3109.MOV I then lived in upstate New York for a season and was blessed with a great group of friends. Not only golfers, but all-around great guys. Now, in upstate SC. I get to manage the ups and downs of mountain-ish golf. How long have you been playing golf? As I mentioned above, I didn't take up playing golf until later in life in my early thirties. That being said, I have made up for the "lost" time. What kind of golfer are you? I pondered this question as I didn't want to give a cookie cutter answer. Golf for me is all about relationships and tinkering. I have learned that in fact, I will never perfect my golf game. In the same way, I will never have perfect relationships. But they are both important to me and I look forward to working at bettering both for years to come. I play roughly 40 rounds a year with a 70% ride to 30% walk (using push cart) rate. I am currently a 16 handicap but have been as low as a 11 in years past. How do you want to test the Ghost bag? Because I am a creature of habit, I have used the same Titleist model Cart 14 bag for years. Being that I work in manufacturing, product manufactured details, features and benefits carry weight (pun intended). My goal in this test is to put to the test the comforts, features and benefits of the Ghost Anyday bag and how it compares to the Cart 14 bag I have used for so long. Do the manufactures listed weight read true? Do the pockets and their positions make a difference/benefit if you're walking vs. riding? How does the quality compare on things like stitching, inner liner materials, exterior material durability? Do the hinges used to connect the straps hold up? How well do the insulated sleeves hold up, can they actually help keep drinks cool in the summer heat? I can't say I knew much about the Ghost Golf brand until recently. But I can say that after reading reviews on MGS and diving into search engine reviews, it seems to be a great product. I am excited to see how well the Ghost bag holds up to my usage. I can be a bit of a pack rat, so I am curious as to how it will handle the weight. And be honest, Carbon Fiber on anything is cool, I mean, come on! Box opening and first impressions: My oh my, Christmas in April! The quality my friends is TOP NOTCH! I have a meeting this evening but wanted to drop the initial pictures and will provide a full write up in the morning.
