  1. I have used several putters over the past few years, but now have my gamer, which I have used for 2 years and still absolutely love it. It is a LAB MEZZ 1. I can't recommend it enough. It has changed my putting. My handicap is down 1.5 strokes since I started using it, from a 14 to a 12.5. You do have to learn how to use it, with a much lighter grip, but once you do that it is fantastic. Mitch
  2. I have to tell you I purchased one piece of equipment middle of last year and it has been a game changer for me. It is a LAB Mezz1 putter. Once you learn to lighten your grip and once aligned all you worry about is pace and distance, this putter is awesome. Not cheap, but a club I use for 28-36 shots per round. I am a 13.2 handicap and using Arccoss, as compared to a 10 handicap, I am now gaining strokes on my putting.
  3. I have no idea of your course layout as far as hills and distance from green to tee, but I walk 18 in 2.5 hours when alone. 3 hours if we are in a twosome. Of course, our course has just a couple of good hills and the green to tee distances are fairly short for the most part. Can you drive to your ball or is it cart path only. That is another big time waster (cart path only).
  4. That is all I do and will be doing it for as long as I can. I play 75 rounds per year and am 71 years old. Walking helps keep me fit
  5. I think it is a combination of things. I can think of three. 1) prices are too high 2) customers are more educated 3) COVID. Let me explain. Golf demand always goes through up and down cycles. When COVID hit, and golf was one of the only exercise one could get outside that was acceptable given the almost automatic social distancing, demand went through the roof. Now that the world is getting close to equilibrium, people are no longer playing golf because there are other things to do. So because of the world getting into a COVID equilibrium, demand is going way down. my $0.02
  6. I recently bought some wild pattern golf shirts from Bad Birdie. Saw them on Shark Tank and love them. They are incredibly comfortable.
  7. Best is really subjective. Some of the most comfortable shirts I have ever worn have very wild prints. I love to have fun. I get lots of comments from I con't believe you would wear that to that looks great, to is that how you reused your mom's draperies. Check them out, Bad Birdie. I saw them on Shark Tank and had to have them. Incredibly comfortable. I own 4.
  8. Well, I just took the plunge. I know they are $200, but they are built like a brick s&^thouse. It is very important to get the right size. They run large. My athletic shoes are either 9 1/2 or 10. My dress shoes are 9 to 9 1/2. I tried a 9 1/2 and they were too big. I returned them for a 9 and took them out on the course for the first time on Friday. I am a dew sweeper and a walker. They were incredibly comfortable and supportive. The grip was amazing. I didn't use the square toe as an alignment aid so I can't comment. I tied for my best round of the year, an 84, and that is with a triple on 17. I am a believer. And oh may the way my feet were bone dry. I know they are expensive at $200 and I am lucky to be able to afford them. If you are a social media user, you can be an ambassador and get back $10 on your shoes and $20 for every pair sold that uses your ambassador code. I think they are worth the money, but that is me. If you are considering it I say go for it but be careful of the size.
  9. I usually use several pairs of shoes as I am a dew sweeper and play 4 to 5 mornings a week during the week. Lately I have been changing between my Sketcher Mojo Elite and a pair fo spineless Eccos. I noticed that my scores averaged 1.5 strokes better with the Sketchers as I know the Eccos are super comfortable but provide what I would say is poor traction. I just bought a pair of Sqairz spiked shoes. OMG, the grip. I used them the first time and tied my best score of the year , an 84, and that is with a triple bogey on 17. I think shoes absolutely make a difference. The better the grip the more comfortable you will be swinging faster while maintaining balance and posture. Also the better contact you will make based on feet not moving. Shoes are part of the whole system. While it is arguable whether you will hit it longer (not sure) I think one can be more consistent.
  10. Forgot to mention the style I have is the Mojo Elite with the sole exactly the same as the picture in Mikeanthony's post
  11. I am definitely not a person who usually sticks with one brand of shoes. I started this year with a pair of Ecco, True Linkswear and Sketchers. The True was very comfortable and had decent tread but did not hold up. The Eccos were extremely comfortable but in my mind did not give me the traction I needed as dew sweeper in Massachusetts. The Sketchers have been the best of the bunch as far as traction and are almost as comfortable as the Eccos. My golf game has picked up this year so I wanted more traction so I went with a spiked shoe to complement the Sketchers. I have nothing bad to say about the sketchers. They are comfortable and grip as well as any spineless shoe I have ever used.
  12. I have owned the NX7 non slope for over a year. I love it. Everything good that is said I agree. I tried my friends Leupold and could not get a reading. I am 68 years old with not the steadiest of hands. I was going to buy the Nikon with stabilization until I read a review of the NX7 and how easy it was to get the target. I tried it and have not looked back. It is fabulous. I play about 75 rounds a year and just got my free replacement batteries, no hassle. Great rangefinder and great company.
