Excellent. If you like working with your hands, you may like refurbishing clubs. I buy/ refurb/donate to 1st tee/ local tournaments. Its' a win/win for golf.

If I ditched every club that I didn't hit well...it would be a very lite bag to carry.

yep..homemade here too. a brass Turin blade @ 322 gr.

Please, no....please. Peace and quiet are an intracule part of golf, to me. Loud music from the next fairway is annoying and imposing. Wear ear buds if you listen, all's well.

we've ground this flour before. walk if you wanna, ride if you don't. At 67, and having walked way too many miles already, I'm not walking 1 hole. My jobs required physical labor and covering about 45 acres. I was as skinny as the running gears of a KadyDid. The guy who covered for me one day wore a pedometer: 13 miles. 1 day. times 25 years. do the math, and that's not counting the Army/farming/brick tendering/ railroad all done before that job. nope... not walking any further than the parking lot.

I play mainly competition golf, where your age determines tees. 50-60: blue, 60-70: white, 70-80: gold, over 80: red. your handicap is determined from these tees. having to tee up against guys 10 years my younger, makes it a mental issue as well as physical.

just picked up a Titleist 910H head in 17*...stuck it on a Fuji 65gr EXS shaft, AFTER having to switch the darn adapter. It's amazing the availability of 8+ year old gear in great shape, that is not only economically the wisest choice, but most often they do just as good a job FOR YOU, as one newer and more costly.

clean after every round.. however, I have witnessed golfers using clubs they haven't touched since they were put into the bag. talk about SMH....some of those clubheads had more grass than the fairway, so you KNOW the grips aren't cleaned.

great bag for a whole lot more cash. I am about value, and a broken zipper can happen to any bag. Zippers all the way around are less quality, as my Carhartts can attest.

it's expensive on any salary. My favorite shirt isn't the highest quality, that would go to the Donald Ross shirt. Absolutely the best shirt I have worn, and was received as a gift or I'd never own it.

had to replace my fav towel... I HATE losing anything, especially an irreplaceable item like a monogrammed towel from a now differently named course. I was a sweet Club Glove USA caddy towel. dang it...

I use the ball that is the best value and absolutely different from the others players' ball in the group. It's the Srixon Q Star Tour Divide- red/yellow. 90% of my golf are sanctioned tourneys, and you would be amazed at the # of competitors who remark: Wow, I can follow that ball with ease! EXACTLY why I use it, no doubt about identification, both in air and on ground. The urethane finish makes it a value.

absolutely use them on all clubs. I've seen relative new forged clubs beat to death in a bag. It sounds cool hearing the rattle, however the needless damage IS avoidable. Money comes very hard for many, so wanting to keep clubs as new as possible isn't wrong.

Hot Z bag...best value available for me.

wood, cuz you get to use it at minimum twice. If it breaks, you have a par 3 tee right there. I just wished people would pick up the broken tees.
