  1. if his putter gets hot, look out. Tiger is the only other player that I've seen with his ball-striking capabilities. the guy must be frustrating to play against because he never misses and when he does he is right back... he must have amazing hand-eye coordination because his feet are doing the Texas Two Step every swing!
  2. I used to watch for tips/techniques/instruction but fell into information overload. occasionally I'll pick up some little things but I watch for entertainment purposes now. if I need big fixes I'll use an instructor.
  3. you ever have free access to an indoor sim for as long as you want and you CAN. NOT. STOP. hitting balls, playing courses, etc.? my wife's new job is with a construction build co and they had a sim in one location and moved it into her office location. they do very high end build outs and this is state of the art. I was there on Sunday until my body gave out and if it hadn't I'd probably still be there. I'm paying for it today but man oh man is that fun. looking forward to turning the corner on old man winter and welcoming in sweet sassy spring this week. hope it starts well for everyone!
  4. Thanks.... I find it hard to disagree with anything he says here. Especially the fact that maybe we're already there. Let's face it, golf is kinda boring to watch... unless there's some sort of drama involved. That's why the Ryder Cup is so amazing. That's why Tiger in his prime was awesome. Protagonist / Antagonist ... we don't have that and watching people 2 putt from 20 feet over and over is mind numbing.
  5. okay, I don't know what the OP is referencing so I'll preface my remarks with that... If he's talking about Tony Covey I'd give it a good listen; Tony has been around the game a long time and comes from a position of knowledge. I think professional golf was due for a "shakeup" of some sort and Phil kinda tried to get it started. Unfortunately it's gone a bit overboard but I think all parties realized late last year that stars in 2 separate leagues is not sustainable. Happy to see cooler and wiser heads prevail after the dust settled and hopefully this merger becomes a reality. Take your favorite sport you watch, come up with the top 10 players and imagine if half of them went to another league. Would it still be the same? Not at all... neither league would be good. And that's where we're at now. LIV is fine, PGAT is fine -- but neither are "good" and must watch. I've tried to watch both in the last few weeks and after about 20 minutes I'm changing the channel. I just get bored and I don't remember it being like that. When I'd rather watch "To Catch a Smuggler, Madrid" or "Rick Steves' European Alps" the tours (both of them) have a serious problem because I cannot be the only one.
  6. I tried Jumbo Max when they were originally released, before Bryson had even used them. They only had one style back then and it was different. I really wanted to like them, but they just didn't work for me. I didn't give up though - this time I tried something different. I bought one - JumboMax STR8 Tech® Non-Tapered × 1 JMX Ultralite / X-Small (+3/16") I pretty much never take full swings with my 58 degree wedge and put this grip on there. This has helped my chipping so much. Really has taken my wrists out of the swing and helped me release the club better. The thing I would caution people about these grips is they are really hard to remove. Once you have them on you can't really pull them like traditional grips and I've had to cut some of them off. That hurts when it's a 15.00 grip.... If you're interested in diving a bit deeper, Peter Finch (youtube golfer) switched about a year ago and he has a couple of good videos on why and what he thinks of them.
  7. good - no, GREAT - morning all. one of my fav times of the year.... everything is awakening. the birds are back to singing in the morning, flowers are starting to come up, grass is getting green, the feeling of the sun on your skin, days getting longer, neighborhood coming back to life... Enjoy the weekend and don't forget to spring forward on Sunday!
  8. I've used all of these places and more. there is a local place near me under the "worldwide golf shops" umbrella and they have a pretty good selection of stuff and their 90 day no questions asked guarantee can't be beat. I traded in 2 or 3 sets of irons within that 90 day timeframe and they didn't push back at all. I wonder where the best place to sell used clubs is? I've always done ebay and haven't had much luck on fb/craigslist/yard sale. trading in is a last ditch effort for me. I've done it a few places and they only give you pennies on the dollar. Frustrating when you see the exact club you're trading in for sale at 120 and they give you 60 for yours, slap a price tag on it and put it in the bin.
  9. there was a full review by forum members -
  10. great deal! at the very least you'll be able to have someone look at you and you get to keep the video. the place I went to put a **HARD** sell on me... my "swing eval" was about 15 or 20 minutes and wasn't that informative. I bought the 5 pack and at the end of it was pretty disappointed. as the OP said your experience could vary wildly - but this is an awesome gesture.
  11. I get a kick outta people that use the rangefinder when they're less than 50 yards away....
  12. I have a shot scope v3 watch - can't say that I always wear it though... it's really bulky. I have a COOLSHOT PRO STABILIZED rangefinder that I got on a big discount. I thought it would be better than it is and I'm kind of disappointed in it. Sometimes I'll use the course GPS feature on the GHIN app to get an overview of the hole. I have an airtag that I have taped to my rangefinder because I've left 2 of them at the course and never got them back. ----- things I wish I had - an electric powered push cart, a better gps watch, a better LRF.
  13. Dynamic gold 120 and project x lz are both good options
  14. I'm off to play the 3 courses at Sea Island resort on 3/13. Day 1: Seaside Day 2: Plantation Day 3: Retreat If anyone has been and can share some tips or suggestions that would be most welcome!
