Pretty much similar story here; I used to ride A LOT more than I do now, but when the kiddo came around the wife wanted me to be around more and insisted that I take up "dad" hobbies. Little did she know that golfing is just as expensive as riding motorcycles...
I got hurt before amateur nationals a few years ago and my wife and owner of the company I work told me it was time to slow down

A quick bag mapping and you will be used to them quick. May have to get a couple bent in a worst case scenario

Outside of golf, I would say my biggest hobbies are video games, music, and other sports.
I've been playing video games pretty consistently throughout my life, but in the past 6 years or so, it's really ramped up. I mostly play shooting games (e.g., Valorant, Call of Duty, Fortnite, Halo), but recently have been playing F1 23 since some friends got us a wheel and pedals for a wedding gift. That leads into another newer love in my life... Formula 1.
My wife and I have become big fans of Formula 1 after watching Netflix's Drive to Survive series. I would say before watching that series, our interest in motorsports as a whole was less than zero
however afterwards we've become addicted. We try to watch every race, stay on top of F1 news and now frequently race the tracks ourselves in the video game.
In addition to Formula 1, I consider myself an avid sports fan. Football season has become my favorite time of year as I've gotten older (Go Irish/Go Bills). I used to follow basketball much closer, but my interest has wavered since I don't play as much myself these days. I've been following March Madness and have enjoyed watching games from time to time, but I would say Football and Formula 1 are the frontrunners. Never been a big baseball fan, but do live fairly close to Wrigleyville in Chicago so try to attend a game or two per year.
Music has always been a big love of mine. I grew up participating in band and choir and translated that into very amateur songwriting after high school. I like to play guitar and sing along to popular songs or ones I've written myself. I used to attend open mics once in a while, but just haven't been motivated to do that lately. I've always had a fairly broad interest in music, ranging from oldies to pop music and everything in between.
Let's be real though... all of the above occupies about 2% of my brain while golf occupies the other 98%
Vettel may be coming out of retirement!

I got to play 9 holes with each of them Saturday. I'm still happy with everything, except my ability to putt with them. I'm starting to realize (or have known for a while) that my putting stinks. I putt better one handed, and have for years. I spent some time blasting into some trees, and when I connect on one, they still feel great.
I stink at putting too. Wish there was a magic ball to fix that! Lol

Had a scratch and former state champ test out the chrome tour for fun. He picked up some ball speed compared to his prov1x left dash. Similar results to what I saw.
Even after seeing the results he said, “I am still a Titleist guy, wont be switching “. I feel like this is going to be the case for a lot of long long time prov1 users.

Simple question is,
Do you prefer morning or afternoon golf, and why?
I love the solo rounds at daylight. The first one to tee off. Dew on the ground and the thought of the untouched course ahead. I enjoy the pace I set for the day and the quiet time to just enjoy the outdoors and nature around me. However, if I'm playing a round with the guys, I prefer playing in the afternoons.
Afternoon is my vote. I always feel like morning rounds are rushed and the body is not fully loose yet.
Also like others mentioned the sun dropping slowly is always a beaut.- TJ Hall, William P and cksurfdude

My cousin just started and got the stix set and they look great. Also heard the costco or sams callaway edge set is great.
most of us started with garage sale blades so id say anything modern will be nice.- Rob Person and TJ Hall

I used to play a 3 hybrid for my 250 yard club but I hit it very low and fairly inconsistently. Now I play a Ping G430 7w at 19.5* and it will hold a green at about 245. Perfect for what I need.
Holy smokes how far do you hit your putter? I mean driver

I’ve always been fascinated by 7 woods. What is the intended use for high lofted fairway woods? I’ve only ever gamed a 3 wood and a 3 hybrid so genuinely curious what people use them for.
Never was interested until this year when I struggled with 3/4 irons. This will replace my long irons and way more forgiving. They go high and hold a green better than a hybrid for most people.

Currently have a Callaway Rogue ST Max 7W (21*). It's a stiff shaft and I could do with XS, so I'll replace it when funds allow. Not sure what I'd go for, but the TSR2 is high on the list.
I love my rogue st drivers. If you go to sell that rogue 7 wood send me a message please.

I was looking at the Takomo Ignis woods a couple of days ago and I am really intrigued by both their 7 and 5 woods. I remember Gabe from Let's Play Thru testing these not too long ago and really liking them.
Please buy and give us a review

⛳️SuperStroke Golf Bag Mini Review⛳️
in Member Reviews
Posted
I have been using the SuperStroke Pantheon cart bag for a few months and just wanted to share a very mini review.
Loves:
1. 14 way top is spacious
2. Putter well is very large and lets me place an extra club in there if wanting to tinker with extra clubs.
3. Two strong magnetic pockets; makes for a quick in and out range finder
4. Two waterproof pockets. Love knowing your shoes or clothes wont get wet.
5. Top and bottom carry handles make it super easy to throw into my truck.
6. Thermal bottle/can sleeve that is perfect for a drink. I keep a drink in one and a driver wrench tool in the other.
7. Rain hood bag cover included
8. The matte-PU bag finish looks super premium and cleans up really easy if you have a black mark from the cart.
9. Bag strap looks great and is super soft and comfortable when transporting I like the shiny “superstroke” lettering. Stands out.
10. Insulated Cooler pocket is always a must and holds about 3 cans.
11. plenty of plastic loops to add your towels and club cleaner tools
Hates:
1. No dedicated golf cart strap hole. I loved this feature on my previous sun mountain bag.
1A. Due to no cart strap hole my cart straps left black marks. I purchased strap sleeve covers to fix this issue.
2. Small side zipper pockets are a little too narrow. So big hands will have trouble getting tees or anything out quickly.
3. Expensive side but I think its premium
BAG DIMENSIONS:
Weight: 6.6 lbs
Height: 35"
Width: 13"
Length: 17"
Top Dimensions: 8"x12"
Top Circumference: 32"
Will be gaming this bag for the next couple seasons at least.
Overall Rating: 18/20
