How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I had played alot when younger.  Things get in the way, kids money, working on a career.  Now that my kids are HS age and I am settled into my career, I have found myself playing or practicing as much as possible these last couple years.  

What do you love about golf? The Challenge.  I would consider myself one of those guys that is usually pretty good at any sport I do, but golf is equal parts fun and frustrating.  I think that is what makes it click for me.  

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? I have been looking at reviews for a long time, but finally decided to join and contribute.

Where are you from?  Sioux City Iowa.

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?  We have many courses close by.  Most of the courses are kept in great shape.  I guess I cannot really comment on the worst things in my region because they are all gripes that everyone has anywhere.

What do you do for a living? Sales

How’d you pick your user name? Name

Welcome to the forum. Have you had a chance to play Landmand yet?

I have not had a chance to play this yet.  On my list of places to play though.  Hard to get on over there.  Its only 20 minutes or so from where I live.

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?

I started playing golf when I was 5 years old.  so 43 years.  I currently carry a 3.5hdcp

What do you love about golf?

Sooo much.  Being outside, the competition, the comradery, the feeling of perfect contact, pulling off the hero shot, shutting out the outside world and getting lost in the moment.   

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?

I have followed the reviews for sometime decided to get involved.

Where are you from? What is your home course?

I am originally from Duluth MN. My current home course is the Britton Country Club in Britton SD.  it is the hardest easy course I have ever played. 

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?

The best part is I have a course to play in the middle of the great plains.  Worst part is not a lot of quality options super short season and the wind.

What do you do for a living?

I am a mechanical engineer, and I currently manage a muilti-national team

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?

About 25 years, started when I was 6 and played junior golf and in college. Quit for 20 years when I moved to KS but started back a few years ago. Currently a 2 Hcp with typical scores of 73-76 at my home course and 74-79 when playing other courses in the area.

What do you love about golf?

Getting out in nature and enjoying the scenery and getting moving. Can travel and play anywhere in the world. Can play golf alone or with friends.

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?

Have been reading the articles and reviews for a couple of years. Have been subscribed to the newsletter for a while. Joined the forum at the first of the hear but this is my first post. I don't think I know any other Spies, but I am not sure.

Where are you from? What is your home course?

I am from NC but live in KS. My current home course is Crestwood CC in Pittsburg.

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?

The municipal courses in the area are not in the best shape and at times you will run into 6-10somes that crowd things up. Weather can go from 80 to 20 and winds can get really crazy really fast.

What do you do for a living?

Have my own IT and finance consulting firm.

How’d you pick your user name?

I have been working on the mental game a lot more and also looking at stats and tempering expectations. I started a new X profile and YouTube channel that will be focused on those aspects generally.

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score?

I have been playing for about 15 years. I currently shoot in the 90's for most rounds but every now and then can get into the 80's.

What do you love about golf?

I love the enjoyment of hanging out with friend and watching my son grow his game.

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?

Golf equipment talk and help with my indoor sim build. I currently don't know any other Spies personally.

Where are you from? What is your home course?

I'm from La Vista, NE and my home course is Eagle Hills in Papillion, NE.

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?

The best part is that we get plenty of rain so all the course are always very green.  The worst is that it is always windy so it can really mess with your game from round to round.

What do you do for a living?

Hello, I recently joined the forum, but have tried to stay active to learn more about golf.

i have played golf for about 5 years but have only recently been playing it more often compared to a few times a year.

what I love about golf is it is one of the only sports that it doesn’t matter how you look, or how long you have been playing, or your background anyone can play and have fun with golf.

I found golfspy while scrolling through Instagram and saw them talking about some of the new products that have been announced by Callaway, vice, Titleist etc. and decided to check it out and learn a lot more about the different products and peoples opinions on the game of golf.

  I’m from liberty, Missouri. And my go to course is usually creek more golf course, but I’m usually going between a few courses so I can consistently improve my game.

The best thing about golf in kc is the amount of people that actually play golf, and how they are willing to help newer people get into the game. Worst thing would probably have to be some of the course conditions, a decent amount of courses in Kansas City get to a point of very damaged fairways and the rough being very thick.

i work at Best Buy as a Home Theater specialist and I am also going to college right now for my degree in aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering at KU.

i’ve had my username for a while but I originally game up with it because it involves my families lucky number 3, and my first name and last name initial.

1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I have been playing golf since I was a kid I'm now 30 I've recently got back into golf. After getting injured on deployment I can't play slow pitch like I use to. Normal score is around 100

 

What do you love about golf? It has a nice relaxing feel except when I get pissed at myself for a bad shot 🤣 and it's me vs the course. It's something I used to do with my grandpa a lot and I get to play with my father a lot now

 

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I Found it while looking up reviews on google and no I do not

 

Where are you from? What is your home course? I live in the Des Moines, Iowa area I don't know if I really have a home course I bounce around playing different courses a lot.

 

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The best thing is cost it's relatively cheap to play here. Worst is not being able to play year round and some courses fairways are like concrete.

What do you do for a living? I just got Medically retired from the army in October of 2023 now I am doing Pest control. Probably the only pest control technician that's terrified of Roaches 🤣 I was supposed to be a Journeymen Painter but tearing ligaments in my ankle while deployed and 3 surgeries said otherwise.

What do you do for a living? I just got Medically retired from the army in October of 2023 now I am doing Pest control. Probably the only pest control technician that's terrified of Roaches 🤣 I was supposed to be a Journeymen Painter but tearing ligaments in my ankle while deployed and 3 surgeries said otherwise.

 

How’d you pick your user name? It has been my Xbox Live Gamer tag since Highschool a bunch of my friends had a FeeLin Gamer tag.

Welcome! I'm over in Iowa City if you ever head out this way. Also - as you are medically retired - check out the GIVE program, it's a great way to meet other veterans and play golf! My favorite course in the DM area is Terrace Hills, still waiting for the invite out to the Harvester!

How long have you been playing golf? Just under 2 years

What’s your handicap or normal score? 25.3 Handicap usually upper 90s low 100s... 😕

What do you love about golf? Being with friends, enjoying the feeling of having great shot, and trying to constantly better myself as a golfer. 

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Love the reviews done by the site and that the reviews are heavily data driven. I love the science backed numbers

Where are you from? Kansas City Northland 

What is your home course? Hodge Park 

What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Weather in Missouri is purely random

What do you do for a living? Firefighter

How’d you pick your user name? Because I have a lot of Bogeys or worse... lol

My Bag currently will probably raise some eyebrows 

Driver - Cobra Aerojet Max 9.5* Mitsubishi Kai'li blue shaft (Stiff)

3 Wood- Cobra Aerojet Max 16.5* Mitsubishi Kai'li blue shaft (Stiff)

7h - Eleven Golf 31* KBS TGI 80g (Stiff)

8h - Eleven Golf 35* KBS TGI 80g (Stiff)

9h - Eleven Golf 39* KBS TGI 80g (Stiff)

PW hybrid - Eleven Golf KBS TGI 80g (Stiff)

44* CBX 4 ZipCore KBS - HI-REV MAX 105 - High

Gap 50* Cleveland Full Face Wedge KBS - HI-REV MAX 105 - High

SW 58* Cleveland Full Face Wedge KBS - HI-REV MAX 105 - High

Cleveland Full Face Chipper KBS - HI-REV MAX 105 - High

Putter - 3D Printed Cobra Agera (RS) 35in

Golf Ball- Callaway Super soft (yellow)

Biggest questions I get with bag set up from friends is when they first saw my 5-pw all hybrid set up. People laugh but I get roughly 10-15 more yards a club to my previous ping g425 irons and I hit them much straighter and consistent. As a new golfer these clubs make the game way more enjoyable for me and I cannot say enough about the quality from Eleven Golf

My next question I usually get is why I carry a 43* hybrid/iron and a 44* Wedge. love my hybrids but they are not as consistent for me when taking off power or shortening my swing, and I despise taking full shots with wedges.  PW hybrid going currently about 128y. 50* Gap wedge is my 25-70y club, 58* SW 25y under club. The 44* wedge I play from 70-97y currently. Still leaves me a bit of a Gap around the 110y mark but better than the previous 75-120y gap

Look forward to participating in some threads on the site and reading more people reviews/experiences with new golf products.

Probably should've done this when I first joined, but might as well say hello to everyone and answer some questions.

How long have you played? Been playing for 3 years now. Tried it when I was 9 for the first time, but like any other kid, wasn't too interested in it, and liked bowling more, so I stopped for 15 years.

What's your Handicap? Currently at 17.1, but hovering fairly consistently between 16 and 17 for the last month or so.

What do you love about Golf? Meeting all sorts of new people, and making friends that can last a lifetime. Recently have developed a love for challenging myself and committed to playing a new course once a month, with no expectations.

What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Read some articles on and off this year that i found interesting, and wanted to give my own opinion on some of them.

Where are you from? Born and raised in Cedar Rapids, IA

What's your home course? Home course is Ellis Golf Course in Cedar Rapids. Every now and then ill change it up and play Gardner Golf Course in Marion, IA

What's the worst part about golf in your state? Usually just the weather. Being this far north we get snow, so the season is always shorter, but when it is nice out, we almost always have a decent amount of wind that makes the day challenging.

What do you do for work? I load trucks for a wholesale grocery distributor in Iowa City.

Why the username? It's my username for any social media page I use, and an old nickname from some friends I bowled high-school meets with.

Once the season ends in about a month, I'll post a What's in the bag and give you guys a glimpse into what this hack games and how he manages to make it work

Will play anywhere, anytime, with anyone
