Would I rather go to a practice round in person and then watch the actual golf at home? Absolutely Would I straight up trade $3k worth of tickets for a $6k ticket, no chance. But if there was some financial compensation thrown in I would 100% pick a practice round over an actual round.

I've been using Frogger for years, I think I'm on my 3rd one. I also have a Groove it and it's been great. I like having the combo of both, Frogger most of the time but Groove it when I need the water. My only complaint is I really wish the Groove It brush head sat at an angle instead of a T. I find myself using it more just to get water on my golf ball to clean it off when there isn't a ball washer handy. I did just get my kid the caddie splash but he's had it all of one day so no opinion on it yet. I have not had any issues so far with the Groove It and the magnet.

I would get the swing weights checked then. If all the sudden the new irons are much lighter you might be having an issue 'feeling' where the club head is. Also like the other guys have mentioned I would've hoped that this was something covered in the fitting.

I took a big hit in the middle, then out of nowhere hit some PR's with 195g. Had two sessions in a row where a single swing hit 119mph and 120mph with the 195g. I really wish I could replicate whatever feels I had during those two sessions but it hasn't come back yet

I use an old bottle of Monster LCD screen cleaner I got a very long time ago and a microfiber cloth. It's the only thing that I've found that get water droplet spots off from our pool. I used to work at Best Buy so it's probably 20 years old but still works great. A quick check on Amazon and this is probably what I would get as an alternative when I need to replace it. https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Universal-Cleaner-Smartphones-105176/dp/B00303LRME/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1A4XPSB8FOAMH&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.sgkgSvKIkvtY8k6OUb9Ubr0T2ZCJxhQV0X4NtTyA2g4JQZtVvUe1euxLCbEGPVjro7S8YJ3nk6N6wiRMT1lQW4xCMvZfPSK-1tJJ5lzJffDVL-iy4A3xFqSRjkjqLVA_BHn13O6aeq1m37fnsW32K2M1KRlvFxeq0WOPa2wSlFdzywMMhmD2nK7Ece2AtxKtjJ2fTLzR8LOrHJWZbTzVJHrhwHT4TPgwJME94rrRX4U.TMWs9ssQNw5mD8sfAXHu1lMydnRaUIKfa0CIGq1MJXg&dib_tag=se&keywords=monster%2Blcd%2Bscreen%2Bcleaner&qid=1712508992&sprefix=monster%2Blcd%2Caps%2C303&sr=8-4&th=1

Cut +3 Low Am Hagestad

Hope they play bad, but expect them to play well. Either way try to play my game and just be a little bit better than them. I can honestly say they only time I've ever rooted for an opponent in match play was one time in a double's best ball match. We were getting absolutely demolished but one of our opponents was on a heater. It reached a point half way through the match that I was just rooting for him because I wanted to see how low he could go. He shot 64 on his own ball. It was impressive.

I'm also on version 1.24 (493) of the stack app. iOS version 17.3.1 No issues with the app here

Can't believe it's been 6 months since we started this testing! I'm still going strong, about 3/4 through my 3rd program. This one has been a grind. I was having some bad enough shoulder pain that I went in to the doctor. Had an MRI and no tears, some fluid where it wasn't supposed to be and some arthritis, but after two attempts at cortizone shots I'm pain free again. This has been a lingering pain since before I started Stack, so I don't believe speed training caused this at all. i continued Stack through all of that but you can see my progress suffered. it was an absolute grind in the middle there, but it sure it fun again now! Just hit a new PR on the 195g today. 130mph here I come!!

I would think in the interest of time, you could play multiple balls at once, but each would have to be played on it's own. No scramble situation or muligans. Since you can pick up any time after a bad shot though, you could sit on the tee box on par 3's and keep hitting until you get one close.

Once you birdie a hole though you don't have to play it anymore, so would be end up being more time per hole on the tougher ones.

I saw this also via golf twitter/instagram. There are a few rules with more details. Just apply it to your home course and normal tee's so we don't have to worry about things like length/rating/slope. You can pick the days and times so you also can play in decent weather. You have the whole course to yourself You can play in any order and play the hole as many times as you want in the time allowed You don't have to finish the hole if you hit a bad one. i.e. shank one just pick up and start over The 24 hours is split in to 6 x 4 hour sessions so fatigue isn't an issue No mulligans It's a very interesting question, at first glance it does seem doable. However, the more I think about it and how often I actually birdie certain holes at my course, it may be harder than I think.

I'm in the NW metro on The Links at Northfork. We opened on 3/4 and I got 4 rounds in here. I did play 9 at Sundance in Maple Grove on 2/1. Yeah, I love that we are finally getting more options! Maybe I can finally stop having to snip the elastic on the inside of flex fit hats in 3-4 places to get it to not give me a headache

I'm in the same boat (and also in MN!) I bought my first Melin hat last year and it changed my life. I now have stacks of old hats I'll never wear again. And for some reason they are still sitting there I went A-game in the XL size and for the first time ever I have all but 2 of the snaps attached! I've had it for almost a year and it still looks brand new. I want to buy more, but at $70 a pop I haven't done it yet. I also had semi good luck with specifically a 110 flexfit snap back. I can get 3 snaps closed on those and since it's flexfit and snapback it's fairly comfortable. The one I got last year was Callaway branded. It was the best thing I found on a "regular" hat until I tried Melin. I know Titleist does make an XL/XXL in it's fitted hats, but they are harder to find. I've personally never tried one, but it's on my radar if I ever run in to one. New this year Taylormade is offering all (or most?) of their hats in a bigger XL size. Dan Rappaport announced it last year on the Foreplay podcast. I haven't tried any yet but I'm hopeful they may fit better. I had been eyeing Mammoth for a while, I always get their ads on instagram. But if their cost is 60-65 I think I'll just stick with Melin when I feel like splurging. Everyone bags on Melin for their cost, but if you are member of the big head club and finally find something that fits right and looks good it's worth every penny. FWIW on most normal snapbacks I'm also a 2 snaps if I'm lucky, 1 snap if I'm not on the fit. Most look like I'm trying to squeeze into a size schmedium.

I have not noticed any adverse effects for my swing yet. I've only got 4 rounds in this spring (but yay 4 rounds already in MN!!) and ball striking has not be negatively effected. I'm on my 3rd program with The Stack system and have gained 11mph through the first 2 programs.

Technically you don't have to, but it would be like taking a test and never knowing if your answers were actually correct? It would be very hard to tell if you are actually faster without the immediate feedback from a swing speed monitor. For instance there are many times it feels like I am swinging out of my shoes, but it will actually be a few MPH slower than a smoother swing. Also depending on the swing speed tool you are using it may or may not work. I can't see using The Stack without a measurement device. Haven't ever tried Rypstick so not sure what that is tracking. Superspeed you could do the protocols without a device, but again you would have no way to see if you are actually faster or not.

"Durable Pearl Nickel Chrome anti-glare finish protects the club head and enhances feel" From the specs the above is listed. Clean them and wipe them down and you should be good to go, no special treatment needed. Typically only raw irons or wedges will rust. A chrome finish shouldn't. I also wouldn't be hugely concerned with protecting your investment. Yes, take care of your clubs. You want them to last for the length that you choose to use them. However don't look at them as a financial investment. They aren't worth much used no matter how well you take care of them.

Been a while since I've been able to participate in this thread, but due to some swing speed gains from The Stack system it was time for some upgrades. Went from from S to X in the driver shaft and got a new Ventus black for the driver. Then I also wanted to swap iron shafts, and it just seemed like a perfect excuse for new heads too. Found a great deal on some Srixon ZX 5's and went with the Modus 3 125 shafts I play now but in X flex. Topped them off with some PURE grips and BB&F ferrules.

Same here, I can't believe I'd never heard of GolfPartnerUSA. Also Matt I should have lead with this, I agree it was a great article!

As an unbiased user of golf forums I think 2 of the biggest places to both buy and sell and get the best price were left out. Golf forum classified sections are fantastic. I know ours is down right now and wrx has the biggest one, but still a great place to buy and sell. The other is the golf club traders group on Facebook. It has over 166k members and is very active. With either of those options you will generally sell items for more than you would get from a trade in, and if buying you will usually get a better price than any of the big online used sellers and definitely better than retail.

Finally! Shout it from the roof tops and then even louder for the people in the back. #7 Choosing Blades "There isn’t a single performance reason why an amateur golfer should be using bladed irons." Love it!

I think the big question is, specifically, what do you want new irons to do that your current irons aren't doing? Are you actually having problems holding greens? Are there actually gapping issues? You keep mentioning your 7i carry distance and descent angle but those are just numbers and there's a lot more to it than that like @RickyBobby_PR already said. What's your miss right now? What percentage of shots would you consider "good" for your ability? There's absolutely nothing wrong with just wanting new stuff. I'm the one that created the club ho's anonymous thread so I completely get it. I just think it's important to understand the rationale behind the purchase to help set expectations once you start using the new stuff.

Club length is just a fitting variable. There is nothing inherently good or bad about doing it. If you really want to test it I would suggest putting a mark on your grip where you want to choke down to, then make sure your hands are at that mark every time as practice. Also just something to be aware of, if you cut 1/2" off the length that is probably going to lose around 3 swing weight points. It's possible you will want to add weight back to get the same feel as before.

I live on the course and have a golf cart I can just drive up to the clubhouse. So I start with a vodka lemonade I make at home to bring up to the course. I currently using the ICE lemonade as a mixer. Usually half lemonade flavor and half cherry limeade or berry lemonade flavor. Then my current drink of choice on the course is either regular high noon's or tequilla high noons. Yes I also have a water that I mix in from time to time. If I'm really tired or need an energy kick I'll make that first drink with a vodka + ZOA or vodka + accelerator energy drink.

Sorry man, I made an assumption and as usual made an @ss out of myself Sounds like for many of us you have the dream job I would really look at it based on irons. Would you rather play Cobra or Srixon irons? For me Srixon wins that battle, but I don't really think there is a wrong answer. From the sounds of it if you go Cobra you are probably looking at irons and top end of the bag? If you go Srixon it's irons and wedges? So you just have to ask would you rather have freedom to experiment with the top end, or bottom end of the bag? Or another way to ask, would you rather have to buy your own driver, or your own wedges? This sounds like a fun problem to have, best of luck on your decision!
