I think thats the way Im going to have to go. Especially with the prices of new clubs now a days and I should still be able to get a decent return on my old PXGs considering I got them for $200 on marketplace cause a guy just didnt like them after a few rounds.

That definitely helps! I feel like if I tell my wife Im selling my old clubs it will make the conversation easier for the new clubs

I like this idea! I have my first putter that I hope to eventually add to and build a collection over the years to display in my office.

What do you do with your old clubs after you get new ones? Do you keep them? Put them in a "retired" bag in the office or den? Sell them and put that money towards your new set? Me personally I don't know what to do, my current set is my first set that really got me into golf and passionate about the sport again so I feel a weird attachment to them and don't want to let them go. But then again its money I could put towards a new set when I go get fitted. Am I alone or do you do the same? Curious to see everyone's thoughts.

Thats my plan for this season! I have a course just a few mins from me so short commute will help too! I do have a net and mat so thats helped a ton so far!

I assumed ready golf was just the standard outside of tournament play. Just helps things move along. Plus if you're at your ball and ready to go and the other players aren't to their ball back, why wait? Definitely should have let you hit onto the green though, they essentially slowed things down preventing you from getting on the green. Should have let you hit then while you were walking to the green they could have holed out to continue ready golf and keep pace of play up

Still below 0 here, been so for the last week. Got some putting in with my PuttOut trainers. Hoping it warms up to get some swings in the garage here soon

I think golf league may be one route to go. Ive got a small 9 hole course a few mins from my house. The early Saturday 18 holes were great but time consuming with travel in a larger city and takes time away from the family.

Ive got a 9 hole course just down the road so that works perfect. And its a fairly quick play too so I think that will help! I appreciate the insight! I agree, wont be peak golf time but thats okay! A lot of great suggestions from everyone here.

Sounds about like what I was thinking! Nice to hear that others have found success, gives me hope lol

Morning Spies! I'm a new dad and was wondering how other fellow Spy Dads find time to practice or sneak a round in? My daughter is only 2 months old and its winter time here in IA so not much to do golf related anyway but asking more for future advice on how some of you manage/balance your golf game and family time? Obviously everyone's going to have a different experience but would like to hear how some of you do it! Would love to take her in the cart for a quick 9 holes sometime this summer and down the road once she is older and can walk.
