    Ian Toynbee got a reaction from arodrig29 in L.A.B. DF3 Putters - 2024 Forum Review   
    I've tried to follow everything recorded on these putters and well done to the dedication to the task. However, I wonder whether there is an element of paralysis by analysis here. 
    For me, how a putter performs from 4 to 15 feet is the key. Success in this range avoids the pesky 3 putts and rewards good chips for up and downs and full shots in, whether for birdies or pars.

    Ian Toynbee got a reaction from cksurfdude in Does anyone walk anymore?   
    I play 3 times a week, 50 times a year (at least) and walk 98% of the time. We are away in an hour for our annual 'Green Jacket ' tournament - 4 days of golf . The average age of the group is 70, 8 will walk all, a couple of others will cart all and the other 2 will do a bit of both.
    Apart from the odd injury I have sustained I always walk, except on our Aussie trip (we are Kiwi's) where we compete for 8 days straight on the Gold Coast courses. All 12 of us cart for this campaign. Walking is better for my game and makes the beer after earned. I will continue to do so for as long as able.

    No. I have a 24 deg hybrid instead of a 5 iron and also a 28 degree hybrid instead of a 6 iron. Hit them both better than my previously gamed 5 and 6 irons

    Ian Toynbee got a reaction from cksurfdude in Golf Etiquette for Beginners   
    Soon after welcoming newbies to the great game, I take the first opportunity (usually on the walk down the first fairway) to point out 3 things that they should internalize.
    Firstly, be respectful of other players and learn quickly the nuances and etiquette from them. (I point out there are too many to list, they have to learn them by observation and if unsure ask the question) Once told, don't make the mistake again!
    Secondly, for any ball they hit offline they must ensure they note a line of flight or have a reference (just right of the gold leafed tree etc) I point out others will help them look for the ball, but the onus is on the hitter to find or at least provide an accurate search area. 
    Thirdly, golf is a game of honesty and accuracy. Note or declare your correct score and if unsure ask for the others at a holes end to help you get to the right tally. Accept and apologize if you are corrected. Do if everything possible to get the count right next time, while a mistake from a newbie is acceptable, serial mistakes suggest an element of dishonesty - the worst crime in the game.
