I don’t think it was Tiger. The pitch mark thing drives me nuts but when I was younger the pro I took lessons from said you always repair yours and one more, if you don’t make one, repair one anyway. I have noticed a lot more people are playing earlier than they should based on skill level without proper lessons (I.e. friend/parent/spouse) taking them out to learn on the course and they’re so focused on hitting the ball that they forget to teach the etiquette things.

What Are Your Go-To Tips for Improving Your Short Game?
Brian A replied to Abd56ullah's topic in General Q&A
Practice! I got the flat balls from Dicks Sporting Goods and using those helped me immensely! They’re the same diameter of a golf ball but maybe 1/2 in tall so you really have to focus on getting them clean or they don’t go anywhere -
Course management…Pin seeker vs middle of the green?
Brian A replied to SANDBGGR's topic in General Q&A
I don’t think it’s a simple answer. There is a very birdieable hole at my home course if the pin is on the front half, the back half makes it much more difficult. So pending pin position and green speed / undulations sometimes the middle and take a 2 putt par is the better choice. -
Usually have 6-9 good balls pending the course I’m playing and a few “water balls” in the bag for water holes

Congratulations to all! Looking forward to some real in depth reviews -

I thought I understood it, however that means a tour pro would have had 22 putt? Like I said I think something is off on Arccos because it’s saying I missed inside 2 feet which I went through and made sure it didn’t have me missing one. normally I putt very well and it’s a anywhere between +1 and -3.

Was having a decent round for me til the last 4 holes… don’t know if I got tired of what but the wheels fell off. also can someone explain strokes gained, I had 32 putts but lost 9 strokes due to it? Only thing I can see is the stats have me missing a putt from inside 2 feet but when I go hole by hole I didn’t miss anything inside 2 feet

I think I’ve played 27 holes max with one ball before losing them. Now instead of losing 4-5 balls a round it’s 1 or 2

I second the vote for the CBX! They really improved my father’s short game!

So I had the opportunity to stock up on the previous gen AVX last Christmas and got 6 dozen reasonably priced. They’ve been in my basement and since I’m finally controlling the driver a bit more I’m not losing balls like I used to. Realistically how long will they be good for? I’ve seen anywhere from 5-15 years?

For a new golfer I would find a basic grind and learn to play that before trying to get fancy with clubs. Even though I am very confident with my wedges and their grinds sometimes mishits still happen and are frustrating
