I went back and forth for about a week. Turns out I was just looking for justification. Early Father's Day present? Sure!

Recently took advantage of this amazing closeout deal on Bettinardi wedge. I had bought the 54 back when it was released and loved it. I have used the black 58 degree over the last 2 rounds and it has been CLUTCH. GREAT deal for a new wedge. $190 wedge for $80?!?! New still in wrapper? C'MON!

What Player Will Have the Most Points: Jon Rahm What Player Will secure the Clinching Point on Sunday: Brooks Koepka

Cam Smith has been my favorite since his second place finish at the Masters in 2020. He has such a chill personality, it's great. His win at the Open was stellar as well. Just fun to watch. Especially with a putter.

Excited to learn more about these. Hadn't heard of them before but I love all these outsider brands trying to make something great!

What are the odds the 2016 TaylorMade Spider OS CB gets a relaunch and starts selling for $500+? Man us golfers can be fickle creatures at times....

This is awesome! What the Cut Number Will Be: +2 What the Highest Round of the Week Will Be: 82

I rarely go to the range, I much prefer to play, especially now that I have a kid and my golfing time is limited. However, I recently went to the range with a friend and a large bucket was $12. I live in Minneapolis. The balls were TERRIBLE. It made me realize that might be the reason people experience wear on their clubs. I have been playing golf for years and never got much face damage on my clubs, but after one session with 15+year old public circular stones, I noticed several marks on all the clubs I used. I think I will continue in my range-averse ways...

Great perspective Ricky! I agree, it is tough, but better to have the option and pursue than to throw the whole thing out because it isn't perfect.

I have been disappointed several times with fittings, especially with drivers. On one occasion the best result was a draw bias because I had a swing issue that day. Now obviously, everyone says get your swing sorted out before you get fit, but you also don't choose when you don't have your A game and unfortunately, many fittings aren't free and there isn't much you can do about it. The other thing I have noticed is that the common time frame for a fitting is 1 hour and that hasn't been enough for me to try the combinations I'd like to. I suppose it's better than nothing. I worked at a golf store for 2 years and even did fittings, but my most recent driver purchase was without a fitting and it worked better than both drivers I was fit for. After a while, I feel like I know what is need (which flies in the face of traditional GET FIT messages). I think there is value in understanding the process. Now I just wish I had 2 hours and a launch monitor and I could do it myself without them trying to direct me to the latest brand with a sales rep promotion (yes that happens, i.e. sell 10 G425s and we'll give you one) or moving on to the next customer.

Excited to see a face balanced blade option! A double bend on the Brandon is tempting. Out of my price range for now, but who knows? They all might be cut in half for Black Friday or something

I will never listen myself, and I'm fine with relatively quiet music from playing partners, but it's annoying when I can hear someone else's music from 2 fairways over, just blasting it!

I just watched the Final round of LIV London and was surprised by how entertaining it was. The first time I tried to watch a LIV event, the lack of fans destroyed my interest. This time, the place looked packed and the golf was really, really good. Seriously, I was actually surprised. The names definitely help compared to the field at the John Deere too...

Man I was excited to get a look at these! I look forward to hearing about your experience, especially comparisons!

That's awesome news! I ended up getting the Rogue ST last year and it might be my favorite Driver ever. Hopefully nothing happens to it, but then again, I wont mind if something does....
