  1. The only available Hahn’s had be dropped by someone during last nights waiver run and is put on waivers. The only way to get him would be to wait for the waiver period to clear. I think the period is 24 Hours. Hoge was classified as a free agent so he was put on your team. One of the negatives of fantasy sports is that you can drop a player and make it so someone can’t pick them up before the game starts.
  2. My group plays on Sunday and it has been about a month since I have gotten to the course due to rain. While not ideal, I’d take wet cart path only conditions.
  3. Wait, a hole in one in mini golf counts?
  4. Grooves were eliminated on driver faces because they were primarily decoration or to help with alignment and because driver faces have gotten thinner. You should be able to fill them with paint, based on some google searches it may reduce spin slightly but probably won’t be any significant amount.
  5. Depends on the person, everyone is different. There are people on this forum that the $350 aftermarket shaft is worth every penny; there are others who say it is a complete waste of money and put it in a closet never to be seen again. Both are correct because that has been their experience. As for which driver, I’d prefer to have the one that fit me best. That said I would prefer to have the driver that gave me the best balance of cost and performance. I personally wouldn’t spend $350 on a shaft and would prefer to be fit into a stock or inexpensive upgrade. If you look in my WITB, I have the KBS shaft in my driver. I didn’t pay $350 for it, I paid $91. It was used and it was cut short. So I guess I have the old driver with the expensive shaft. After hitting lots of new drivers with decent shafts, I am not switching.
  6. But if there is no line of sight, the rangefinder is useless. Also to avoid slow play rules, caddies get to the ball shortly before players and are determine yardage before the player gets there. All for the change, just don’t think there will be any significant time savings.
  7. I didn’t see any new blades in most wanted testing; so my guess would be no. But you never know; there could be a late release.
  8. Range finders aren’t against the rules. The tour just implements a local rule prohibiting them. I am in favor of their use, but don’t think it will save time as I don’t think getting the distance is the time consuming part of their routine.
  9. They are pretty close in size, you do have to account for the fact that epoxy has to go into the hole; you could also add shafting beads it it was a little loose. I have always found that the fit is snug. If using steel, you can always sand the shaft down a little.
  10. May or may not be an issue. Don’t know how you putt or what issues you might have. Based on my reading, most people play putters that are too heavy. The only way to truly know is to experiment with different head, shaft, and grip weights.
  11. These two stuck out to me as not being 100% accurate based on what I have observed. For pros, they don’t just use the range to warm and practice holes. One of my favorite things to do is go to tournaments mon-wed to watch pros on the range. They like every other golfer have training aids and are working on swing mechanics. Their swings are solid but I wouldn’t say near perfect. They also spend lots of time working on distance control. They actually spend considerably more time on the range than most golfers; simply because it is their job. You even see them on the range after tournament rounds Working on their swings to figure out an issue they had during that round. They also spend lots of time working on trouble shots. Their swings aren’t perfect but they have better control of setup, alignment, and face angle than the non professionals. As for low handicappers, I think you give them too much credit. I would say I fall into that category and have played significantly better golf 5-6 years ago than I do now. I was naive about what to do on a range and mostly just hit balls with no purpose.
  12. I just hope it warms up so you can actually get those clubs out to a course.
  13. There isn't a "standard". If you look on the sites that sell putter shafts you can find the various sizes available. Here is one source for you: https://www.golfworks.com/true-temper-straight-taper-putter-shaft/p/tt0001p/
  14. The way things are going for me I would probably still lose to you. But alas, I am not playing you this week. I still have room to move down as I am not in last place yet.
  15. You are in 29th with an 11-9 record.
  16. Let's try a different way to look at this. How much an athlete makes from an even it probably some of the most well known information as it is often used to entice the player to play. Generally, the amount of money people make from their job isn't public information. How much do you make, how much do your coworkers make? I know the companies I have worked for frown on discussing how much you earn.
  17. pretty sure that is the one I saw queued up for mallet testing.
  18. I am intrigued; can you provide any more information and wondering if I have seen the putter you are talking about. Wondering if it is from the Mizuno line.
  19. 6 players played through Friday, 1 playing the weekend; looks like an 0-20 start to the season
  20. That is why we created a list of MGS people that are willing to be tagged.
  21. And I am fine with this and this is what@LICC has been stating. I think it sounds fine in theory but I personally believe that If implemented it would impact the golf at all levels; not just the PGA tour. Yes, there will be people that don’t care and play whatever they want just like is done today. If you want an illegal driver, I believe callaway marketed on for a while but it wasn’t successful or you could shave the face to make It hotter. I think many people want to play the same equipment as pros so they can do comparisons.
  22. I have heard of studies that showed that trying to hit the ball harder than “normal” or less than normal will actually increase you shot distribution. Largely due to people getting out of sequence or trying to control their swing. I would say to slow down you swing only when you are trying to take off Distance.
