  1. Remember, pros play extremely fast, perfectly manicured greens EVERY week.

    I, like most golfers, play what is available.   Adjust your putter stroke to what works for you on the greens you play.    I practice with the Srixon 2 color balls with the line dividing the colors vertical.   If that line remains vertical, you hit a pure putt.   P.S. don't look up to watch the line - let it roll then observe at 10 feet.

  2. Try Cut Golf.   Dozen urethane cover 3 or 4 layer 19.99.   Performs just like the high $$ balls.   Also like the Cut matt ball.  

    If you are a Costco member or know a member go with Kirkland 3 layer.   $15 per doz ordered on web and shipped to my house.   Can't beat them.  

  3. Cut is a good ball and priced correctly - no tour pros to pay and no expensive tv adds    Some criticize Cut based on consistency but that sounds like a Title list ad to me.    I'll agree tv pros playing for a million+ each week need consistency, but everyday players posting here may not be quite that good.   Cut always plays just fine for me: the balls are more consistent than our game.

    Recall the original Kirkland 4 layer - great ball that had the big names - afraid of the competition -  scrambling to stop production.   Kirkland proved that great golf balls don't really cost $50 per dozen.  Cut continues the trend.  

  4. Think about single length for the long irons - simplifies these clubs.     SL's exactly match TOTAL CLUB MOI so you have the same feel as a 7 iron.   Ask Bryson.   

  5. A long shaft in wedges just sounded like as bad idea, but the single length concept is founded on good science.  

    I play normal stepped length clubs LW through 8 iron, then single length 7, 6, 5, 4.     Works great - same shout irons and wedges with simplified long irons.   No, I don't loose distance or height on the long irons: science tells you that the heavier club head offsets the effect of shorter shaft.  

  6. Golf club companies are in the business of selling clubs:  consider the possibility their recommendations may be influenced by corporate greed.  

    I stick with my old friends - same wedges as several years ago, BUT I use a groove tool to dress the groove edges.    The tool does NOT change groove depth or contour, it sharpens the edges.    Since I don't play for a million dollars every weekend, I am not concerned about minor groove work.   

     

  7. received my Kirkland 3 layer balls - marked “performance +”. Label says “made in China. Paid $15 per doz including tax and shipping. Played 18 with the new model - GREAT BALL.

    Conditions - temp low to mid 60's, wind 10 to 15mph.

    On the practice green, ball would check on 10 yard chips, nice feel off the putter and useful alignment line.

    Full shots - soft feel off the club face, wind produced expected effect on ball flight - nothing like suggested in pod cast. Driver distance just fine. Short irons and wedges checked nicely. 8 iron tee shot stopped dead ( 3 inches ) where it hit on a firm Bermuda green. 80 yard wedge - one hop.

  9. 1. Equipment - golf balls, Snell, and Kirkland: Nevr Looz bag. I do not buy big name golf equipment - overpriced and full of marketing hype. I doubt the big names have ANY engineering technical staff.

    2. No chanes, but confirmation of my suspicions about equipment.

    3. Practice leading to improved ball striking did most for my scores, but once you hut the ball solidly, then the Snell and Kirkland balls help.

    4. The Nevr Looz golf bag is a very good design - keeps clubs available and organized.
