  1. Long time Arccos user. It definitely has its pros and cons. I also had a problem with ordering new sensors. When I activated the sensors, Arccos closed my account and wanted me to buy a subscription. It took a lot of back and forth with customer support but they reinstated me. We'll see what happens when my current year is up.
  2. On Friday I hit this 9i a touch thin but it went nearly the correct distance. Closest I've been to an ace. Today's goal was swing easy and take more club. It worked some of the time, like on hole 2: Yep thats a dead center strike. Time to retire. Funny thing is it flew less than 180yds. Uphill into wind. 6i got me the green but I 3putted Then all went kaput until hole 9. The tees are usually to the right of 8 green and farther back. Sometimes they use a tee to the left that is forward and eliminates the dogleg, and it's 230something center green. 215-225 to carry a stream. I caught one that faded just the tiniest bit then drew back as the sidewind corrected it, straight at the pin. When I got to the green I noticed it thumped into the upslop e of the front of the green and stopped dead. Yea, I'm him... the guy who drives the green then uses all 3 putts to par. My first ever par 4 green driven
  3. How could I forget! When my wife bought the pushcart, she ordered me this nifty scope
  4. Sike! Ok now for a slightly more serious review: Packaging: It was delivered simply in the BagBoy product box with a shipping label on it. It was taped well. Other than that, the packaging was pretty minimalist. Everything inside was in a plastic bag and the parts were in their own baggies. The main tube (I don't know the nomenclature of the parts) was wrapped in foam. No damage or scratches. We assembled in about 5 minutes. Pop the wheels on, pop the umbrella holder into its spot, done. Another 5 minutes fiddling with the front wheel alignment and it was ready to go. The alan-wrench provided for adjustment ended up a bit chewed up; it's probably cheap steel. It's a standard alan wrench size so I'm not worried. The adjustment direction (cw/ccw) is also opposite what was stated in the manual. Easy to figure out though. We both like how it looks. Not too flashy but the silver/black combo is nicer than all black. (That's our doggy Ollie. We adopted him last summer. He really screwed up my game for a bit but he's become a really good boy ) Operation: It opens in two easy moves. Grab the handle, pull on the handle hinge, and it opens up. It won't just open and orient itself all on its own, but it's pretty darn close, and a little nudge here and there and it's open. Then you just adjust the handle and lock it in. Here's a vid of me opening and collapsing it: It's not as compact when collapsed as our TourTrek 360 pushcarts, but it's not bad. The weight is similar. The straps are similar to other brands and the past 2 pushcarts I've had. They work well and hold a bag in place just fine. The wheels roll really well. They have precision bearings similar to what you see on skateboards or rollerblades. The "trunk" on the handlebar has a scorecard clip both inside and outside the door, and a spot for 3 balls. Above that is a spot to place your phone with a cord that holds it snug. The "accessory pouch" usually found hanging down between the wheels is hanging underneath this trunk on the handlebar. Pretty cool. It comes with an umbrella tube. More on how it performs later. There is no setscrew or thumbscrew to secure the umbrella handle. However, this tube can be oriented 4 different ways on either the left or right side of the handlebar. It snaps into a holder on the side of the handlebar when not needed. Don't lose that thumbscrew! The drink holder is nice, and is designed to hold cups/bottles of varying sizes. Unfortunately my 32oz Nalgene bottle didn't fit, but I've yet to find a drink holder that does. That's it for now. I'll report back once she has a couple rounds with this.
  5. This is just an informal quick first impression of the BagBoy Nitron Push Cart. My wife has had this on her radar for a while and finally ordered one from Golf Galaxy. I like it. The end
  6. My wife just got the Bagboy Nitron pushcart. First impressions...its a great pushcart. Obviously opens up easy.
  7. Another part would be convincing my course to have an Ironman or whatever you'd call a max holes played event. I don't think they'd allow me the course time to just keep playing otherwise There's a women's endurance tournament, but I dont think they have one for men. Or I play 6 rounds, best of 2 balls and see if I can make it happen. Maybe from red tees
  8. Can I just take mulligans, or do I have to keep playing it as it lies? If I have to play thru can I play two balls thru per hole? Otherwise I'd be lucky to birdie 2 holes
  9. Glad I came back and read through this. The MLM2 is now on my radar. Thanks guys! Great reviews
  10. Did some range time and played 4 holes due to time. So I played 1-3 and then 9. Nothing great. I'm shanking my long irons, heeling my driver. But on hole 9 I played 2 balls because I badly pulled one off the tee. First ball was way left and far back so I laid up to my favorite yardage, to the number: it was with a PW, downhill lie. Not perfect contact but the ballflight I envisioned and about 130yds. Ball #2 approach shot was with 9i. Felt like perfect contact. Looked perfect then just flopped out of the air 1ft short of the green, only flew 122yds. Still loved the shot. For my first day since October I can't complain about yardages. Back to ball 1. 78 yds to pin. My 50deg choked half way with an easy but assertive swing carries 75yds. I pulled it but nailed the distance. Perfect contact just 1-2° left . It hit and rolled to pin high about 10ft left. Those were my shots of the day. We won't get into how those putts went. As far as spanking ughhh autocorrect...shanking the long clubs, I'll work it out. I have to unlearn a yootoob lesson
  11. The Scottie Schuffle has 100% validated my swing
  12. So it's been a while, but I was never able to get the watch to fire up again after my last post. Thanks MGS, MGS Forum Staff and SkyCaddie for the opportunity to review the LX5. It was an amazing tool for the course, and I'm considering purchasing another one.
  13. Congrats to Peter Malnati. Was on the first page all week. Well deserved.
  14. Was about to pull the trigger on a robo pushcart. I forget which one. It was a top 3 in MGS testing. But then I saw the testers wanted ad... so I'm waiting very...patiently? Besides that. The Ogio Bananarama stand bag is on my radar. And if money were no object, a wedge fitting for new wedges, along with a few lessons to get acquainted and get new numbers and gameplan. I've had most of my wedges for a decade now.
  15. 1) get my shortgame and putting dialed 2) get my swing more on plane 3) get my body, knees, back all in better shape 4) breaking 80 should happen as a result of the rest 5) 300 yd tee shot
  16. Congrats! When I signed up for this one, I was going to comment that I likely had access to a hitting bay at home. We were under contract for a property down the road. Alas, the septic inspection yielded total replacement. Seller balked so we cancelled This would have been pretty neat though.
  17. Blew a 39 with a 7 on the par 4 9th. Blew a 40 with a 7 on the par 4 9th. Blew a 41 with a 7 on the par 4 9th. 42 still a great score for me, especially the way my game has been. 6 pars
  18. I love them. 1) my first true fitted set. I booked an appointment w Titleist fitter at our course, hit off grass outside with trackman, got into a few shafts. He started me with a T300 but after 1 shot (which went amazing) I asked "what about a T2/T1 combo?" And he was on board. Though we based it off hitting a t200 7i. I did get to try the T100 PW and hit it just fine. 2) the T100 are bent 1° strong to blend with the T200. Through email I inquired about T100-s, because the lofts are closer to T200 than T100 and the fitter said something about the tungsten weighting I didn't quite understand, but I trusted him. It worked out. My gaps are right on. The only drawback is that the soles now have 1° less bounce, and the T100 soles are stupid-thin to begin with. For this test, I had signed up for t150. I was super torn between T150 and T200. I would totally recommend trying T200/T150 split set if it's anything like what I have now.
  19. It's rad that you all have the option to mix the sets. I'm currently playing 2021 t200 5,6,7 and t100 8,9,PW.
  20. No line. My ADHD and OCD brain would blow a gasket trying to align 1 inch with 10ft. I'm doing my best currently to shorten my routine and suck at golf a little faster
  21. Assuming here, but I would believe you need to know how many strokes you get each hole. If you shoot par gross and you get 1 stroke that hole =net birdie
