Get rid of your 3 wood and add an extra wedge once you do your gap analysis .

Neal Shipley will be low amateur and the cut will be even par

I always use 2 devices. First I check the exact pin with my Bushnell rangefinder then I go to my sky caddie and get front , back , middle. Also look at distances to penalty area , bunkers , etc on my sky caddie. So important to me to get front green yardage and back green yardage in club selection .

I believe a great golf course is one that after you get done playing it for the first time you can remember at least 12-14 of the holes . A good example for me is Pastatiempo ; I only played it once a few years ago and I can remember most of the holes , it was a fantastic walk and a great golf course. A good golf course is one that offers a variety of distances , well maintained not pristine, under $100 during peak season, has food and beverage , and has a driving range to warm up.

I play in the late morning to early afternoon. Not a fan of dew because I like to walk if I can . Warmer temps don't bother me even though I live in Scottsdale . In the summer an afternoon round takes only 3 hours .

Played 22 of them . Lucky to get a hole in one at New South Wales in Australia ! They are all unbelievable in their own right. Every one of the courses has some uniqueness to it in design , location, etc....

I stopped buying NIKE golf gear a long time ago. Their shoes are terrible in my opinion ; they are cheaply made, no style, weak support, funky colors, etc.. There are so many cool brands out there now such as Greyson, G-FORE, Dunning, Turtleson, etc..that you can own a shirt or other clothing that is more unique and has some interesting style to it. So bottom line NIKE leaving is no big deal.

Getting fitted indoors works for a driver ; but not for irons. When you get fitted for irons you must be able to feel and judge what real turf interaction does to your shots. Hitting off of a mat is not reality with irons and you will miss out on a key factor in making a head and shaft selection. You will not be able to see your different divot patters, you will not be able to see the sole interaction marks when hitting the ground, you will not be able to see what the wind can do to your different shots you may try to hit etc......

I ditched my 3 wood a long time ago . I go driver, 19 degree hybrid , 21 degree hybrid , 4 -PW, and 3 wedges . If I am going to miss a fairway I would much rather have the distance . Also , getting your important short game distances with wedges is much more important.

Not a fan of the BOA ! I got a pair at a member guest ( Foot Joy) and the rep said I will never go back to laces, well guess what ; I have NOT bought another pair of BOA ! I do not like the look of the BOA, it looks cheap. I don't find it difficult to tie my shoes , it's over kill.

I was one of the first golfers to give them a try and I will say they are very good gloves. They are not super thin nor are they too thick. The fit is true to size and they last a good while. They are definitely worth trying and they give deals every once in a while which you can take advantage of.

I went from a 110 KBS shaft to an 85 True Temper Elevation shafts on my irons and have not lost any distance. In fact, the feel is much better going back, you can feel the shaft load vs. feeling boardy or too stout .

Just got my new PING 525 irons , was playing Srixon for a long time , thought it was time for a change. Put in the Elevate shafts.

The key to getting fitted is to go to at least 3 different places ( ie 2nd Swing, Club Champion, PXG , PGA Superstore etc ) If you do that you will get feedback from a few sources to validate shaft, lie angle, etc... As you move through the process you will be more educated with the information provided by the previous fitter. It takes more time but it's worth it if you are going to spend $1500 on a new set of irons . Have them print off the information from your fitting . I have no problem telling them I am going to go to another fitting before I make my decision. Read up on the shafts they recommend too.
