What benefits do you find of joining a golf club?
rpwildrick replied to Jim Shaw's topic in General Q&A
Hey there! I have a couple reasons: 1) in my experience pace of play tends to be better. Not that everyone is a single digit handicap (including myself :)) but everyone plays golf more regularly and knows course etiquette. 2) I can’t say this for all clubs, but I think most limit membership so it’s never too crowded and you can actually get tee times on the weekend. It may not always be a prime time, but if you want to get out you can certainly get out. 3) the events! A good club will have events through the year, I love the events at my club. It’s enough to get the competitive juices flowing while also creating some good relationships and camaraderie with the other members. 4) price. I know a lot of people will have this down as a drawback, but if you find the right club at the right price that checks all the boxes you want I think price can be a big positive! I’m in a great position at mine, it’s $300 a month for a full membership with an extra $50 to add on my wife. For me, if I want to golf once a week at the public courses near me it would probably cost me around $260 a month just for that. But if you add in the cost of any practice I want to do, or extra golf I want to play then I think it all balances out! I would say do you homework on clubs in your area, think about things like food and beverage minimums (preferably find a club without that), and ask for feedback about the membership. A club with great members is a lot of fun and something I wouldn’t trade! Good luck! -
SURVEY: How has MyGolfSpy influenced your game?
rpwildrick replied to GolfSpy Barbajo's topic in The 19th Hole
1. Have you purchased any golf products based on MyGolfSpy reviews? (Please list which ones.) I pay attention to the ball reviews/ball lab content and really put a lot of stock in that. There have been balls I’ve wanted to play or try but haven’t based on constancy issues. 2. How has MyGolfSpy changed the way you think about golf equipment? I always assumed with the way manufacturing is set up that you would get (almost) the same product every time. I know that there is a mean of standard deviation so nothing is 100%, but it was pretty enlightening on how even larger manufacturers still have consistency issues when making products. 3. Have these purchases lowered your scores? (List which products and how much they have lowered your scores.) I think so! Or at least I hope so! 4. How have these purchases helped you enjoy the game more? How? I used the golf lab/ball reviews to help me narrow down the top couple of balls that I felt would be right for my game. From there I was able to test some out and find the best ball for me. It has been exciting to find the right ball and to see it preform!
