It's a math equation at that point. The typical differential between clubs is 7-10 yards.

I live in metro Atlanta so I can play golf comfortably most weeks Nov to Feb. Otherwise, once a week at PGA Superstore practice bays off the launch monitor.

Titleist AVX - lower trajectory Yes, fitted - I spent hours on simulator hitting batches of ProV1 and AVX and comparing notes. As long as descent angle is similar, a lower ball flight helps on breezy days.

Was this a pace question or an etiquette question ? Hitting into a group is unwise. First time you can apologize for being lucky long. Second time it's coming back at you.

Best round - bag tags, ball markers, bar glass, shotglass, bright light colored shirt they have to wear as leader, not pink. Worst round - headcovers just can't be beat.....budgets permitting...$100 towards first round drinks at dinner...drinks on me.... I would stay away from goofy hat, balls etc as it effects play to some degree.

A lesson is a tip. Nicklaus Palmer Boros Harvey Penick writings were loaded with tips. I made it to scratch never taking a lesson. Learned from all those tips.

Second best tip - distance control with any club but especially wedges Think clock face. Ball is at six straight overhead is 12, as you rotate arms, MINIMAL wrist flex, some is natural, what distance trajectory is achieved as shaft arms align to 7,8,9 on clock face. And then more natural wrist flex at 9,10,11,12 positions. Now you can hit 4 different clubs, 9 plus three wedges, any distance based on 7,8,9,10,11,12 backswing.

First 40 years of play never had a PGA pro lesson. All learned from Nicklaus Palmer GolfDigest Golf written lessons. Made it to scratch. Putting training was the best tip as follows 3 balls 5ft 10ft 15ft from hole. Start short and progress out. Repeat starting long back to short. Goal is FEEL the difference in the different length putts. Distance control 6 balls, a ruler or carpenter square better. Use square edges for consistent set up alignments etc. Make 6 putts with 2inch backstroke. 6 putts 4 inch 6 putts 6 inch, 8,10,12,14,16 Now you know how far ball rolls for a given backstroke. Now you can't make a bad putt, only a bad read.

The When I was really young....in my 20s and before, my golf friends and I would laugh mock scorn cart people.....we would walk 18 27 36 in summer heat. Now, in my 60s, in cooler weather I use a push cart. It is the right way to play. Days like this week, 95 and up, probably play back to back days, I am using the riding cart. A man has got to know his limitations and, any course it is cart path only I might as well walk.

Golf is golf. Worldwide. For PGA and Brandel Chamblee to claim moral high ground was absurdity and myopic. Only 16% of $1.6 billion annual PGA value revenue is charitable. The rest goes to players and PGA staff. USA interests have destroyed more lives than is know. Over reacting to a single Saudi event was grand standing and hypocrisy at its worst. This allows for a broader bigger commercial entertainment product, think exhibitions, vs current PGA model. All for it and thanks to Jon Rahm for being the sensible one through it all. Guys just earning a living.

The ONLY comment complaint I take seriously about iron covers relates to holding moisture. I use them because I want my vintage muscleback heads to last.

Fix the survey Button one > at least an hour And Button four > more than an hour Are same thing Make Button one 30-60 minutes and survey time blocks make more sense.

It isn't an hour, and it isn't 15 minutes either. I've played courses it's a five minute walk or more range to tee box. 45 minutes covers it Unwind the clicgear and load bag, Pro shop settle up takes a few minutes. Meet and greet fellow players Loosen up. Hit a small bucket 25 or 40 balls Roll 12 putts various distances breaks Be at teebox at least 9 minutes prior. No need to crowd prior, no need to scurry up one minute before own.
