I'd really like to get one. Looking at Rapsodo, Mevo, Garmin. I have a net and hitting mat and right now my 5 year old uses it more than me, which is only because my kids dictate my time until they go to bed. I'm looking to get a launch monitor so I have some feedback in addition to hitting and working on swing mechanics on video.

I always prefer to play 18. I recently started playing in a Wednesday night league and it is only 9 holes. We play at a course that has 2 separate 18's so we rotate to a different 9 every week. I don't mind the 9 holes, but with the new handicap system I feel like entering 9 hole scores every week isn't giving me as accurate a handicap as when I played only full 18 hole rounds. I don't always put 2 good 9's together so a higher 18 hole score is more accurate than 1 good 9 hole score and 1 bad 9 hole score.

I wish more people played ready golf. It has been so frustrating playing public courses around me because rounds are 5 or 6 hours. Now that my golf buddies and I have little kids we can't spend half the day at the course. We usually end up getting one of the first tee times at a course on the weekend so we can get done in 3-4 hours and then make it home to spend time with the kids and go to their activities.

It would be great if more companies offered wide width shoes. Comfort is my biggest concern and its hard to find a shoe to fit my fat foot.

When I was younger and walked all the time I used to carry 6, then as I got older and rode a cart most of the time it because closer to 20-30 as I never emptied the bag of scuffed balls. Never really had a reason since I never carried the bag. At the end of the year I'd clean it out and start over again the next year. Now, I try to mix it up ride, walk, and push cart so I'm trying to keep it around 6, unless I'm playing a course with a lot of hazards then I might throw in an extra sleeve and if I have to play a ball with scuff marks or one that was cut by my wedges so be it. It is better than killing my back with a few dozen balls.

I'll play with a ball as long as it is in good condition. That may be a few holes to a couple rounds. Usually nothing more than 2-3 rounds because my wedges usually scuff them at some point.

I like the Tiger logo, but I don't like when it includes the S D R. The spacing looks awkward.
