ZenGolfer Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Im actually pretty happy with my current set and I dont really have my eye on any new clubs. Id probably go for a golf trip next year though. Last summer, my wife and I did 3 days at Arcadia Bluffs in Michigan and it was an awesome experience. I could go for a trip to Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run in Kohler, WI though. As someone who was born and raised in Wisconsin, its kind of embarrasing that Ive never played there. My wife's cousin is getting married in Wisconsin next year and I am planning on taking a week off work and playing at Grand Geneva when Im there and then probably making the drive up to Kohler, along with visiting family while Im there.

MaxEntropy Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I have asked Santa for a couple new wedges - my current SW is about 18 years old and gets a lot of use. I also have questions about whether my LW has ever been the correct bounce for me (maybe it is, but I just suck at golf ). In particular, I want RTX Zipcores. As usual, I have asked the daughters for golf balls (Srixon and/or Snell). They get bored with buying them, but it is easy, in their price range, and I hate buying them (since it means I have lost too many).

I'd agree with you on preferring the Masters over PGA, but I don't have an in with anyone on getting tickets besides throwing my name in for the lottery each time. Masters is definitely on my bucket list. At least PGA gives you the chance to sign up for the waitlist and if you get a good position, have an opportunity to get tickets. For the 2021 PGA I ended up getting Saturday and Sunday tickets, pretty pumped for that.
