  1. I find the logo (logos in general)  off putting, and so the clothes follow suit. Why use a jumble of bones that is unreadable from 10 feet. Folks unaware of Tiger, not who he is but his brand, will never figure it out.

    I will pay for quality but these come across as rushed China made items. The sweater he wore at the Genesis looked so thin and cheap while being ill fitting (why extra long are length then roll it up) it just came across as ugly.   I have 30 year old cashmere sweaters that look new but were made by a quality clothier, and paid the price for them, and guaranteed you can’t read a newspaper through them!

    The shoes look decent but look no where near the “big ticket” shoe of the old school leather sole shoe. The tops seem nice but like they just glued on a Sketchers bottom to it.
    I don’t think Foot Joy or Ecco are too afraid.

    Quality isn’t cheap and cheap quality is,,,,,,,,,,,,just cheap.

  2. I wish the PGA Tour Partners Club was still in operation!

    It gave an amazing opportunity to play great courses throughout the country under a two day tournament format for many flights. We played TPC courses in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Scottsdale, Sawgrass, Pinehurst as well as a couple other exclusive courses. All in a manageable golf vacation budget with camaraderie and competition.

    I’ve been fortunate to have played Pebble, The Brickyard (was a member for three years) , Kings North, The Heritage and many, many Pete Dye and Robert Trent Jones courses, but nothing compared to the TPC events and the courses we experienced.

    Whistling Straights is a “doable” wish list course and The Old Course is the Holy Grail for me.

    Maybe it’ll happen before I expire. I can only hope!

  3. Well here it is again, another revival!

    I was fitted, and purchased the Ping PLD Anser and got it with a regular Ping grip +6 wraps. Putted good right out of the box but still felt very “static “ and too locked in with my grip. I switched to an Edel round grip and have not looked back. The ability to have a free hand position along with a fitted Putter has been great.

    Needless to say this set up will remain my “go to” for some time to come.

    I had a bad result from a fitting in March.  Was it my swing or the fit?  Regardless, the light shafts for which I got fitted have been awful - so bad I have already abandoned the clubs completely and will be selling them soon.  With the exorbitant prices charged for those clubs, I will be out at least $1K when it's all over, even after a sale.

    I've had three fittings in my lifetime.  One (driver/FW woods/hybrids) was excellent.  One was middling (good result, but only stock shafts involved, so I think it could have been better).  And this one (awful).

    I doubt I do it again unless I find a wizard.

  6. I have a visit next week with a cardiovascular doctor for a little a plumbing work. It was suggested that I start using a hat for some coverage of  my ears and neck, anything other than a baseball type hat. At least during the summer months.

    Soooooo……..ordered today.

  7. Can’t really answer your question but I do play the 330 RX and love it. It’s been my replacement for the original TreoSoft, which I still have three or four dozen stashed. I’m in the <105 swing speed and at some point I’ll have to switch to the new RX but really wouldn’t expect a substantial performance difference, especially if they have dropped the compression a bit.

     I suggest buying a sleeve and giving them a try.

  8. Until recently I never knew putter “fitting” was even a thing. I’ve always had a decent stroke and a pretty good putter. I used an Odyssey TriHot #3 for over the last 10 years, coming from a “30-40” year old Ping Anser, and did quite well.

    I discovered the whole “fitting “ thing and thought it legitimate after some research, and thought why not since it’s the most used club in the bag.  Recently I was fitted by a Ping fitter and was put into a near identical putter I had used for years!

    The difference is a stronger loft and neck shape for more toe hang. Same head weight, lie, grip and length.

    I guess I was just fortunate to “fit” myself with the Odyssey years ago. Or was I now fitted to the stroke I have grooved over my golfing life, having putted with very similar putters from the start?

    Either way it confirmed I was on the right track. A fitting is a good way to be positive you have the right tool for the job. You may be using the right tool, just needing a few tweaks.

     

     

     

    But buying a new custom fitted putter is fun 😎 

     

  9. Found a box of these at Wally World for $16.00 a dozen and putting them into play next week.

    Usually play BS RX330 or Pro V1’s but actually looking for something with a bit less spin. My trajectory with a long iron the ball stops within a couple feet and wedges drop dead or back up.
    I want something with less spin that has some run out for my chips and pitches, so trying  a new (to me) two piece ball.

    I guess it’s all about your swing and the type of spin (or lack thereof) you put on the ball. My regular playing partner gets a lot of roll out no matter what club he uses, even his 64* wedge will roll out 6-8 feet.
    And he calls that his dead stop flop shot! 🙂
