Play a rotation of 4 courses or so between 10 and 40 minutes away. We have a solid 4 ball for most weekends, every once in a while if someone can't make it we'll fill it in without any problems. Might join a semi-private club next year on a credit line membership since one of the 4 in our rota is closing. If you want to join a full time club around me you're paying no less than 13G's in membership fees plus the minimum dining charges per month. etc. Just can't see spending that kind of money

Haha. Meant Willow Creek was on the bottom.

Played 3 of these. Favorite in order - Lido, Harbor Links and at the very bottom Harbor Links. Just not a course I've ever scored well on. Hope to play the Bethpage complex one of these years, but going to LI is such a chore

Like others have said it really is depends who fits you. I was fitted this spring based on ratings and recs at CC. Overall, the fitting was great, but getting the clubs took forever. The local PGA SS has great ratings for their fitters from outside sources. When I needed to get fitted for fairway woods in May, went to them and had a great experience. Research, research, research

Went to CC for an iron fitting after a friend recommended them. Made an appointment before my season starts figuring I would have to play with my old sticks for maybe a round or two tops. My original appointment in March was canceled due to the fitter having a baby, next availability was a month later. Fitting went great, really enjoyed the experience and the choices. Had a little sticker shock when he showed me the invoice, but went with it since I tend to keep my irons for a long time. Was told that it would take 6 weeks to get them due to the pandemic, etc. I wasn't happy but figured it is what it is. On the 6 week mark, end of May, I call up and am routed to a corporate office voice mail. Left a message and receive an email the next day from the manager of the store I was fitted at that the grips aren't available until July. Decide on another set of grips and was told probably a week to a week and half more. Now I'm really not happy. Then at the 2 week mark, find out it's going to be another week. Mind you at this point, I'm over 25% into my season. Ends up taking 9 WEEKS to get my clubs. No apologies, no acknowledgement that it took an extra 3 weeks than promised. Next time I will go to the PGA Superstore near me that is always ranked as being one of the top fitters in the area by the magazines. Actually did that when I was fitted for a new 3W in early May.

Only on par 3's. Only other time I don't use Driver is on tight holes or holes with trouble where I will probably play my 5W

My new set I go with 4 wedges. 43, 48, 52 and 56 degrees. Use the 56 mostly for chip shots around the green, then the 52 when I need more run on a chip shot. Working out really well so far

From my first set of irons through now my 4th set, I've never had the same brand throughout. Currently all of my woods are different brands from each other.

We've been driving further away and paying more than usual to secure a 9:30 weekend tee time. Unfortunately the course is closing, even with a full tee sheet most weekends. This in turn is going to put a crunch on other local public courses. Thing is we really enjoy playing different courses throughout the year, but we're now thinking about getting a credit line membership at a local club in order to be able to play next year.

A few near me didn't double but went up $20 or so. Add that up over a season and it gets up there. The problem is that they're still getting the $ because tee times are scarce.

As a daily fee, public course golfer. I can't see greens fees coming down, at least not in the NY Metro area. Most courses are hard to get on before noon on a weekend if you're not the first ones to book when you're window opens - resident/non-resident/associate, etc. As for equipment, prices might stagnate for a bit if there is excess stock, but not to the point where we will see massive roll backs. With a rise to inflation promised to be on the horizon, new equipment prices will rise as well. And of course, all of the people who tried out golf because of the pandemic aren't going to stick with it, but many will.

Check out Cape Arundel Golf Club in Kennebunkport, ME. Great shortish course. Clubhouse dedicated to George HW Bush, and if you're lucky like I was, maybe GW is playing in front of you. Also great food in town, like the Clam Shack for amazing lobster rolls and more

Used Hole19 for awhile. This year switched over the SwingU. I use the premium, but my buddy uses the free version which he likes.

Every round of mine this year has basically been a bad round. But come Monday morning, I'm fiending to get back out there. Just have to keep swinging

After playing this game we love, or love to hate, for way too many years, I've decided to finally take lessons. A friend of a friend is a golf pro at the local CC, of which I'm not a member. I know the pro decently enough. But since I've never taken a lesson, not sure how much an hour session should cost. If for some reason it matters, I'm in the NYC Metro area. TIA

Got GG in 2017 for Christmas. Was really excited to use it. Would only work half the time, even when my phone, club and sensor were right next to each other. Gave up on it after a few rounds. Hope it comes back and works as advertised

Would be interested in this as my inlaws live just south of TR. So many good courses near there (Eagles Ridge & Cream Ridge) and some that aren't great but have good prices (Lakewood & Cedar Creek). Anything but Ocean Acres, too many LBI vacationers who try to cut the 1st hole in half by not getting it over the trees.

Usually use them until something rips or stops working. But might get a new one now that I got new sticks. Usually my bags don't get too beat up since they go from the garage, to the trunk, to the cart and back. Never walk, unless I must. Caddied during HS and college, walking the course to me is work, not a time to enjoy.

Funny, I actually like the solo B. I like the simplicity of it. Doesn't mean I'll play it because of the way the stamp is. But still like it a lot

Brand stamps play no difference if i play a ball or not. Especially since I mark up my balls in a very unique, some might say, crazy way.

Been in Williamsburg two summers in a row in July. Heat was a factor, especially on the back 9 , even with an 8:30am tee time. Hopefully they have a cart girl on the course.

Like all of the Bronx courses. Played with someone today who said that Marine Park is getting some upgrades and the course is looking better for it

Switched out an old Cleveland 3W for the new Titleist TSi3 3W. Absolutely loving it so far. And once my Callaway Apex 21's show up they'll replace old Big Bertha irons. Also replacing the GW and SW with Vokey's

Jealous. Ordered my Apex from Club Champion almost 9 weeks ago. Supposedly coming in this week. Hope the do. I've been champing at the bit waiting to give them a whirl in real life conditions.

Ahh Warrior Golf. My FIL was a big fan. Ended up getting a full bag for pretty cheap. Ended up sending me some wedges, that were much heavier than what I was currently playing. If you just need a set, they aren't the worst way to go I guess
