  1. I always use a SunMountain C-130 cart bag as I ride 90% of the time. It’s a BIG bag, but carries everything I need or may need. When I walk, it fits well on my Sun Mountain pushcart. Having lived multiple places where the weather seems to change every ten minutes, having the right stuff with me is easier when I don’t have to remove and repack it all between rounds, unless it gets wet.
  2. I play a Callaway driving iron because it has improved my dispersion. As a result, it quickly became one of my favorite clubs. It’s largely point-and-shoot as long as I make a good swing.
  3. I am fine, and have had good experience, with used 5A or Mint-graded golf balls (typically Titleist Pro v1, v1x, or Left Dash) from reputable providers. I will not play any ball that says refurbished or refinished. It's a good value proposition for day-to-day golf. I generally have some new balls on hand for use in events.
  4. I was interested to read these reviews as I had a Sub70 mid-mallet 002 in my bag for a few years. II really liked (and believe my putting improved) due to the heavier head weight and loved the magnetic headcover. It's a small difference versus one with Velcro, but something I really liked having. When the magnet fell out due to wear and tear, I went online and chatted with a Sub70 rep about ordering a new headcover. He told me I had to call Sub70 Sales which I did... multiple times... and left multiple messages... which were never returned. This was my second time having issues with Sub70 customer service, so I have moved on from the Sub70 brand. I found a great deal on a new Scotty which works just as well, if not better, for me.
  5. Someone else may have mentioned this, but after using the soap and water on rubber grips, I spray Windex on a damp towel and wipe the grips. It REALLY makes them feel like new. I read it or saw it on a golf program and have been doing it or a few years now. Works great, except for leather grips!
  6. Sadly, very few I play with mark their balls... or play with the same ball each round. I use a single dot under the number and a line off both end of the model but also don't use the line for putting like the OP stated. I like the line for the visibility when identifying my ball from a distance. I rotate between three color Sharpies so I usually have the same number Pro v1 with a red, green, and blue dot and line in my bag, in play, and as a Provisional, if needed.

    Sub70 Putters

    I play the Sub70 Sycamore 002 - the mid-mallet and love it. What I needed was a heavier head than you can find in most putters and this does the trick for me.
  8. I am largely a feel player after taking notice of the 100 yard marker. I will laser when I'm not comfortable with what my eyes are telling me or the pin position seem out of place (front vs middle).
  9. It's probably been posted somewhere in here, but everyone's ability to feel and tell the difference is different. For example, I can immediately tell the difference between a Pro v1 and a Pro v1x based on its launch and from its feel off the clubface. What I think is most important is playing the same ball consistently so you know how far it goes with each club, and how it responds around he green, in the wind, and off the driver. I see guys switch from a Callaway ChromeSoft to a Callaway SuperSoft and can't figure out why they react differently when they are "playing a Callaway."
  10. I only wear spiked shoes as I apply a lot of ground force and “spin out” when wearing spikeless shoes. I occasionally spin out even in spikes but that is more so when the spikes need replacing… which I do frequently.
  11. I used GolfTEC in both Cleveland and Salt Lake City for lesson and practice. I achieved greater progress during my time in Ohio and then used my SLC sessions to keep what I had achieved. I started out VERY over-the-top and ended up with a much better swing which has since been refined by periodic lessons with a non-GolfTEC coach here in Atlanta.
  12. A 4 wheel cart is not necessarily more stable than a 3 wheel cart. Stability is based on center of gravity and the distance between the wheels. I use a Sun Mountain C130 bag on an original Sun Mountain Speed Cart v1 that I push twice a week at minimum. I also have a four wheel cart that I bought for my wife and have used from time to time. The Sun Mountain rolls more easily on the very hilly course I play weekly.
  13. Our group used to play Coral Oaks each year on our way from the airport to where we were staying. The greens were usually nice and the routing was enjoyable. The overall course conditions varied based on the recent weather - wet, dry, burned out in spots...
  14. I am, and have always been, a dew sweeper, so anything that impacts getting off early in the morning is unappealing to me.
  15. I am a fan of not having DST at all versus permanent DST. As @mharr noted above, there are serious safety ramifications that resulted the last time this was attempted.
