All depends on what I’m in the mood for. Daughter’s college mascot, favorite characters as a kid, meaningful verse…

I guess my taste is changing or something. I love my cobra clubs, but this Aero Jet just seems to busy. The head feels cluttered with labels and the blatant carbon matrix on the top. I love the look of carbon, but like something a bit more demure. Simple and clean is always more attractive to me. I’m curious to hear long-term how they hit, but the look feels gimmicky to me. I love the look down to the top of my LTDx peacoat/red because it is so simple but attractive. Maybe it’ll grow on me, but initial impression isn’t that great.

Another Cobra fan. Been carrying them for years. They've grown with me and my game has grown with them. LTDx-LS has been the most consistent driver I've ever hit, and my F9 3 wood is about the best club in my bag and amazing for long fairway shots or a little shorter drives. I've also been playing the RF Copper irons which have a killer look and play exceptionally well for me. I just love the thin top edge when looking down on the irons. Wedges are okay, but have hit Vokeys several times and probably will move that direction for this next season. For me the weak spot for Cobra is their putters. I honestly can't fathom that the same people that make the copper irons and even the new King forged options also sell what I think are some of the most hideous putters on the planet. Not saying they are bad at all, but the aesthetic is not pleasing to my eye at all. My putters go between a Callaway Carlsbad and an Odyssey Whitehot OG. If I ever venture away from Cobra irons, it will likely be Mizuno or Titleist blades. They tend to both so clean with great lines, and the visual is really important for my play for whatever reason. My buddy has a Titleist driver that I really like, and I have to admit the Paradym has my attention. The easily adjustable weight intrigues me. Would take a near miracle to separate me from my LTDx-LS right now, though. Brands of which I'm not particularly a fan? PXG- It's the marketing. I've never hit them; doubt I ever will. I simply can not stand adds that use people with distinctly strong accents to try to convince me that it must be better because of the cool voice. A little too blatant for my taste. Ping- This is the absolute definition of bias. I truly KNOW Ping makes great clubs, but when I was learning to golf, there was a guy who played with us in a weekly foursome who was a member of a nice local club and who weekly made it KNOWN that he was a member of a nice local club, and that he played Pings because he could only get them as a member of this (you got it!) nice local club. I was fresh out of college and was playing a set of cheaper oversized clubs and it was clearly intended to demean me and inflate himself. I just bristle a bit when I see Pings.

Yep. Look at the top of the page. Sure didn't take them long! https://www.thestacksystem.com

So why do pros play golf? Should all of them who have enough to retire with an average lifestyle drop out or give up all their earnings? Seems exceedingly arrogant to presume the motivations and needs of someone else you’ve likely not met. And it’s funny how you don’t paint all those pros who have MORE than DJ as greedy, but he must be because he changed jobs. Personally, I’m not here to judge ANY of them. Let them decide for themselves what is most sensible.

May be that he just sees his time as more valuable than to spend hours with obnoxious people. My approach would be to find 2 other people who are easy to get along with and who might click with his personality and make your own foursome so that you don't risk getting paired with those stereotypes who bother him.

Don't mind the league at all. I'm guessing it will be a failure, but in general competition is a good thing. Can't blame golfers for pursuing what is in their/families' best interest. I'll watch if I have the opportunity. I'm definitely not boycotting.

Unfortunately, even the shelf probably isn't really worth anything. Paint chips and scratches, and part of the wood appears to be broken off on the top right corner. If they were all Pro V1's, I'd offer a bid, though!

I just moved from Fort Wayne. For years I played frequently at Brookwood Golf Club which is basically adjacent to an Air Force National Guard unit and the Fort Wayne International Airport. Routinely F-15's and now A-10's do touch-and-go drills. One of the paths takes the planes right over a couple of the tee boxes/greens. Several years ago I was on the 2nd tee addressing my ball and about ready to swing when an F-15 came in just over the tree-tops. It was truly 'wave at the pilot' low. The ground shook and air whipped and my ball fell off the tee. I don't have a problem with noise, but that was a bit distracting. Planes go over that course all day long, but that was the first time that I actually saw a plane low enough that a high wedge shot could have hit the plane! Gave us a good laugh, though!

What's the intended target age and purpose? Just to show your support for golf? To give away to a specific group of people? The bottom image has a fresher feel to it. #1 has a traditional clip-art feel to it and feels 'older' to me. #5 is somewhere in the middle. #2 seems like just an old logo. I like the font and look of #3, but agree with the poster above who noted the 'cliche' feel of it. #6 would look good as a pocket-size logo on the front of a t-shirt, but probably not ideal for a large image. I'm not keen on the phrase, but #3 would look great as a sticker.

I have two. One is a gold dollar coin my dad gave me some years ago. Don't even remember why. I think it was change from some fishing related purchase. Shortly afterward he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and passed about 90 days later. The second is a Belize penny. We operated a children's home down there for about 17 years and recently turned it over to friends of ours who live/serve down there. The ball marker is a simple way of reminding myself to pray for the ministry and the kids, many of whom we still know.
