Matt Hutch Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 What's the worst performing and least functional gear in the game today? Golf carts? Socks? The legs on a carry bag? What's the thing that feels like stubbing your toe every time you use it? Surely there's a better way! GolfSpy TCB 1 Quote If you are curious about my bag, ask me!

That said, the worst performing item might well be the spring loaded divot repair tools that seem to enjoy opening in your pocket at the most inopportune times.

vandyland Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 This is extremely niche but the umbrella holder on my push cart. I can't make it high enough so I can stand under the umbrella, it doesn't have enough grip for even the slightest wind and is overall just a waste of space. It is the standard umbrella holder that comes on the TGW pushcart (which is an awesome, inexpensive pushcart for all other aspects).

Cheaper shoes that don't have great comfort, fit and waterproofness are top of my list. I have 3 different types of shoes for that reason. The ones I enjoy more often are the Nike Air Max 90G, they aren't too breathable because of the water resistant material, but they are great until you get north of 90 degrees out and they keep out the early morning dew if you are hitting the course early. I have a hot weather pair and a wet weather pair. 37 minutes ago, vandyland said: This is extremely niche but the umbrella holder on my push cart.

Luke James Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) @GolfSpy_APH In my opinion, it's a NO. Because, under Rule 20 -1 it is necessary to physically mark the position of the ball. Moreover, no golfer can be penalized for this.

Many casual rounds golfers don't mark balls so no need to go into the rules on this one. My question was does it count as equipment and if it does I would nominate it as they are big and can cause just as many issues as just leaving a ball down.

The Mad Bomber Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I don’t mean to get all serious, but can we talk about the 64° wedge for a moment? There’ll be 2 or 3 guys that chime in with “best club ever made” or “absolute scorecard saver”. Those people are 15 handicappers that hit it well once. The 64° might underperform expectations more than any club I can think of that’s ever had a cameo in my bag!
