There already are restricted flight balls. On your range! Feel free to use them. However, I want an exemption.

It doesn't work for me (but it might) as we haven't starting using it or agreed to a service agreement yet. Can you expand on your claim? I'm interested. How has membership been devalued and what numbers have declined? Keep in mind we are not a golf club, country club, Muni, etc. We're only a practice/range facility with a 6-hole practice course. Thanks

We're actually looking into using Golf Now at our new range and practice course opening next spring. Like many things and in this case GN some may like it and others may not. The first reason we're considering it because of the cost. Which as I understand today is... no cost to us. There are many golf course tee sheet & POS systems out there and all of them come with a price tag. Our situation is somewhat unique in that we're a non-profit (First Tee chapter) and our facility will consist of a full range (long and short game range, putting green, chipping green with sand bunkers) along with a 6-hole practice course. GN will save us money and the tee sheet can be customized to 6-holes only. There will be a free/no cost POS system, custom website, marketing, and the app for bookings etc. Again... no cost. In return we give up a few tee times each day where GN will make a profit. Works for me so far. I don't know the nitty gritty details of what a user who books a tee time online/app at our course would experience or the terms of a refund if any. I'd assume that we'd have control over that unless the tee times are special GN Hot Deals that we've given up to them. But I'd assume a user who registers/books a tee time is presented with terms of some sort regarding a cancellation. I also will assume it's in GN favor to allow or not a refund or cancellation if the tee time is exclusively theirs. Should we decide to us GN I'm sure there will be some who will experience a situation as described by the gentleman starting this post. Nothing is perfect for everyone. Of course people will also be able to call and book directly with us. At this time there appear to be more upside to us by using GN than downside. Many "specials" come with restrictive terms as the purpose might be to sell something not moving, reduce inventory or generate traffic, etc. It's not unusual to see restrictions disallowing a refund or exchange in situations like this. All Sales Are Final - No Refunds. That's a type of risk consumers will take each day for a variety of items. I'm currently high on using the GN system at our course. We'll see.

Perhaps if you paired the illegal ...ehem - non-conforming driver with an illegal .. nonconforming ball like a Condor, Bandit, Polara you'd get those extra yards. Maybe more!! If that doesn't work send it in and have the face shaved and put some vaseline on it. Finally... if after all that and you're still not driving greens; just move up a tee or three.

I actually have one somewhere. I don't use it but I've tried it. I think I might have posted about it some years ago when I was overly obsessed with golf. I guess it seemed to work as intended. I say that because it would realign to my initial mark I put on a ball when I placed it back in the device and spun it up. Does it do anything for your game? I really couldn't say but it's an interesting gadget.

Looks like my boastful comment above was a little premature. There are 3 holes to best of recollection that I haven't birdied yet this year. #5 par 4, #10 par 4, #16 par 3. The number 5 and 10 aren't that difficult actually but I suppose they are for me. Ha! The good news is I still have about 6 months left.

I can't imagine anyone saying such a thing. Wait a minute... I've said that. But I don't expect my distance to be 500 yards. I'd settle for 251 or 252!! LOL I'm not in the market for a new driver as I just bagged the EXS about 2 yrs ago and it's a good one. I've always liked and wanted to play a Cobra driver for some reason but haven't yet been able to find one that suits me. My last attempt was the Fly-Z+ but I just couldn't get it right and later gave it to my SIL along with 3 different shafts. He's a scratch player and he loves the Fly-Z. Now chisag is trying to ruin my love for the EXS by posting his review of the King SX. What's a guy to do?

The best i've heard in a long while. Thanks Stu!

Here's what you want. I like the Blanco and Reposado. Both over the rocks. I'm pimping for a board member who distills -bottles-and imports it. Not exactly cheap but you'll thank me. BTW - this isn't anywhere close to that old rotgut Jose Cuervo or Patron. And it's hangover proof! Sip away and enjoy. https://flechaazultequila.com/

Please don't take offense... But if your hcp is truly a 20 as you've listed above then you're a real head scratcher. It's interesting to hear a high handicapper describe their ball striking in such a way. And especially with an old set of blades (probably not fit) which by most estimates require a player of advanced skill (low single digit or + hcp) to play effectively - if even then. I wonder what you'd be able to do with a properly fit set of modern irons like most tour pros play? (which btw are not blades)

This is probably an apple to orange comparison.... I bought last years model EXS that came with a MCA Tensei CK 60-S. I didn't go through a fitting per se' as I usually perform - work it out myself. I did hit the club at the shop a little before buying and decided to give it a try anyway. Initially the indoor LM data was ok but not great. Then, outdoors I went. My observations all around were awful. I hated everything about the feel, shot patterns, and flight. I tinkered around with the settings but the EXS was looking like a non-starter. The next day I decided to try the shaft that I'd been playing successfully in my SLDR. I happen to have a spare so I installed the EXS adapter onto the Fujikura Speeder 57-S and it was an amazing change. All of a sudden the EXS came alive. I didn't bother spine'ng the shaft. I did make a few more adjustments with the settings. The EXS is now a fairway machine and I'm sure I'll play it for many years. Moral of the story is - don't rely on LM data for anything more than perhaps a starting point - go no go. If that. I think finding the proper shaft and ideal adjustment of the head for your swing and preferred ball flight is critical. And do all this outdoors. With a little time and patience you can fit yourself easily.

I find many times; searches return better results on google than in the forum. It's always worth a try.
