  1. It’s very possible that folks that don’t wear golf clothes also choose to play courses where they don’t have to. I’m a member at a private course, and occasionally see someone playing that is not dressed to code. I just feel like that if the staff doesn’t enforce it, it’s not my business.
  2. The clothes I wear for golf are probably as comfortable as the clothes I wear off the course. A modern collared golf shirt would be more comfortable on the course than a cotton t shirt. I don’t think the golf dress code is outdated. I think some people just don’t like to be told what to do.
  3. I have tried BOA, but I get a better fit with laces.
  4. I have a remote controlled walking cart, and a cart bag works best. I use a Titleist 14 cart bag, but I much prefer a 4-6 way top.
  5. Got a Cart Tek in October, and happy with it. Had a Kangaroo, and also good, but very heavy.
  6. I’m getting rid of the driver because I don’t like it. Today is the third fitting day he’s done at our club in the last three months, and I have participated in two of them.I bought my driver based on it out performing my current driver on that particular day. It just did not translate to the course. I didn’t expect the fitter to remember my name , but I thought he would recognize me.
  7. A follow up on my fitting: The same Titleist fitter did another fitting day at my course, and worked with me to help make the driver more playable. He spent a fair amount of time, and made it marginally better. He was back today, and he walked past me like I was a piece of furniture. Never asked how the driver was doing. I’m going to a golf shop to trade it in tomorrow, and if I ever buy another piece of Titleist equipment, it won’t be fit by this guy.I always thought very highly of Titleist, but this experience has changed my thinking.
  8. I was fit for my irons inside, but after everything was done to get the best numbers, we took the club outside to see the ball flight. I have always been fit outside, but this inside/ outside combo seemed to work. Not too sure I would do a strictly inside fitting.
  9. I am still using my Ping G400, and I’ll be looking to trade my Titleist for something. Its initial cost was $600, and I’m sure I’ll lose money on the trade. If I do another fitting, it won’t be brand specific. I did a few fittings with other companies over the last year, and none of the other companies tried to sell me anything. In fact, they said the results and numbers were close enough that I really didn’t need to buy anything. The Titleist guy was a salesman, Mizuno,Ping, and Srixon were actually interested in my game.
  10. I did a Titleist fitting that turned out to be a bad fitting. I was fit into the TSR4 driver, and the great strikes may be longer than my Ping G400 Max, it is nowhere near as consistent. I spoke with the Titleist rep, and he said it was just as forgiving as the TSR2, which I responded that that was impossible since the 2 is 460cc and the 4 is 420cc. He then said I wanted to pick up distance, which I responded that distance without consistently was worthless. Just an overall bad experience.
  11. I hear the USGA is pushing hard for the return of Sans a Belt slacks, too.
  12. I was referring to the PGA of America, not the Tour.
  13. Actually, I think the PGA is the only group that cares about the average golfer.
  14. Have you tried Kentwool? I wear them year round. Ankle length in warm weather, and crew length in winter. On and off the course. Never had any itching problems.
  15. I think, at the recreational level, they made mistakes with the groove rule and the anchoring rules. I really don’t see bifurcation as a bad thing, and while I see an occasional golfer that can overpower a course, I see many more that don’t hit it far enough. Hopefully they develop some magic formula where the average player isn’t penalized too much. They are worried about some courses becoming obsolete, but the Opens at The Country Club and Merion were pretty darn good.
