    Bringing My Service Dog along as a single player

    in General Q&A

    Hi Everyone,

    I was just curious how most of you would feel if a player you were paired with brought their service dog with them to the course? I usually tend to play on deal times in my local area and am paired with other players or groups. I prefer to play with my dog if I'm not with friends as she alerts me to, interrupts and provides assistance for occasional balance and vision loss issues. The dog is familiar with golf courses, does not interfere with wildlife, set foot in hazards or bunkers or on the putting greens. My primary concerns are slowing pace of play for other players by walking instead of riding and taking the time to give the dog commands between shots so she knows what to do.  Also just making sure everyone is comfortable as I know some people aren't too fond of dogs. 

    What would you think if you were paired with someone playing who has a service dog accompany them and what else could I maybe do to make it as easy going for another player or group?

    Wouldn't have a problem at all, to a well trained dog that helps you enjoy the game. I think it would be a treat. Don't worry about pace of play, most people play slower in carts, as they have no idea how to properly play with the cart partner anyway. I find walking is so much faster and more enjoyable.

    Shankster: A CB Wedge Experiment

    PING offers these grinds on the 3.0 through custom. So I’ll do a little testing, decide what works, and maybe buy some 3.0 “Stealths” when the launch

    If I remember correctly, my ping rep said the custom grinds weren't available in the stealth wedges, but my memory sucks. 

    And I'll be trying that low toe spinner this weekend at the range!

    As one of the resident "Hmm, I think I could rig that up at home" forum members, I love the idea of you taking on your own grinding. I wonder if there's any chance you could get a hold of these bounce stickers:
     

     


    I’d like some for sure.

     

    I just use 2 lie stickers on the sole, works well. Gives a real good indication of attack on angle for a players wedge swing

     

    Incorrect fitting - Mavrik Driver

    From your comments, I think the SZ was a better fit than the standard Mavrik. It sounds like with the ideal strike, your numbers are very good, and with heel shot mishits, the SZ will help to keep the spin number down. If you went with the standard Mavrik, those heel shots would spin very high and you'd likely lose distance.

    I would definitely take a one way miss over being able to consistently shape the ball both ways, as others have said.

    I would have to agree with this as well.

    Sounds like you work out the mishits in the face area and all is well. Good luck with the new Mavrik, the Sz is a great head.

    If you ever feel like tinkering, try the 115 wedge shafts. I really, really like them as a fellow 105 gamer

    have you hit the Ping zz115 shafts they have in the glide 3.0 wedges? I just purchased a set of Ping I500's  with Modus 105's in them(love the feel so far) and was curious how the zz115 compares to the modus 115 wedge shaft? Heard the zz115 has a really high launch.

    Anyone play the Ping 3.0 glides with the zz115 shaft? Just got a new set of I500 with modus3 105's and wanted to know how the 105's will blend with the zz115 shaft? I typically have a higher launch- high spin in my scoring irons.
