  1. Yes, golf club manufacturers come out with something "new" every year and consumers must weigh the price to performance with the latest and greatest to the previous models. I am with you on this one. Thank you for your comments.
  2. Hi members. This a embarrassing. I've been a member for over 5 years and I've always wondered how you attain a badge with your profile? I have broken 70. I have an ACE. I have an albatross. I won a club championship. I have won long drive and chip/pitch contests. Thank you in advance.
  3. Since manufacturers are being told to back-off on the ball distance in like 6 years or so, I am using my current supply of Taylormade TP5 and Titleist Pro-V golf balls. For my game, I haven't found a higher quality ball yet. So I guess my answer would be that I am sticking with my current golf ball brands-models.
  4. OK. So I still use a titanium driver ie Cobra AMP from 2012/13. I know the current drivers are more forgiving and probably offer more distance but I am struggling with the sound of the carbon fiber and naturally the cost of a new driver. The latest technology has peaked my interest in that the face of these new drivers offer much more forgiveness. I believe that Ping offered this a few years ago and others are catching up. Digging deeper, I read an article that the difference between drivers are very minimal and that you must choose the one that looks the best and provides the most confidence when you take your stance. I think that Taylormade and Callaway have accomplished this.. Cobra has as well with the new matte finish. Let me know your thoughts and take the poll.
  5. Compared to other sports like tennis or basketball, golf is expensive. The playing field for golf is larger than most other sports. To keep a golf course in decent shape, the operating costs are very high. This cost is passed on to the golfers. Also, many golf courses only want the "well-to-do" clientele so they raise their rates to discourage those of us that find it too expensive to play especially these higher end golf courses.
  6. Another good topic for a forum discussion. Reading the responses and I would agree is that you have to weigh purchasing a brand new driver vs last year's model that can save you possibly a few hundred dollars. Personally, I have not test driven any of the 2023 models yet. I have done some comparison of 2022 and older models to my current driver and still cannot justify the purchase especially with the cost of daily living going up. For now, I will continue to try out the newer equipment at the stores and with permission, from my friends that do not care about personal budgets.
  7. Great conversation starter. I learned how to hit two distances with each club from 7 iron to gap wedge. My thought is that the less I have to swing the fewer dynamics in the swing. May not work for everyone but I have become comfortable with it.
  8. My golf LIFE goal is to realize that it's a game and have fun no matter how frustrating this game can get. Look at those wayward shots as opportunities. Because I no longer have time or funds to play this game more than once per week, I don't have any game improvement goals. If I were to pick something, it would be to average 32 putts or less for 18 holes and at same time hit more than 50% of greens in regulation.
  9. Having had two albatrosses and three aces, I vote for albatross. However, both ace and albatross take luck. The albatross requires distance and position off the tee shot and, if from a par 5, then yet another shot/swing probably longer than the ace to get the ball into the hole.
  10. Good feedback on this topic. However, I am surprised that you have a driver average carry distance of 260 yards and only 180 yards on a five iron. With that driving length, you have many really short approach shots with course distance less than 6000 yards.
  11. Good topic. You received quite a bit of feedback. The hybrid tee box was a good solution; however, it would have been nice to hear that the complainers were moved to the long tee boxes whilst everyone else had the added advantage of playing the shorter tees and winning every week.
  12. Sounds like it's just your pitch and gaps that are spinning. If that is the case, why affect all your clubs with a ball change? Maybe your grooves are too sharp, or try changing the attack and spin less? Just a thought.
  13. Yes. I have played Kelly Plantation. It’s on the bay so get some nice views. It was in good condition when I played. Have a good time.
  14. Update: Bagboy is the right company. They produce the Search N Rescue retriever. I talked to customer support and for this retriever, they do NOT sell any replacement parts. The two side posts and the center posts are all snap on. If your''s pops off, FIND IT. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with a worthless retriever. These are forty dollars to purchase. Wonder what it would take to make the replacement parts on a 3d printer?
  15. thanks cnosil. I will give it a try and report back with my findings for the benefit of others.
