There is free heated storage from your clubs about 200 yards from your house...and the shop will grab them for you in 5 minutes if you need them during the winter for the sim or a trip.

Also I...

Ddddddddddddddaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Raw skill wise I figure I am about a 4.

But mentally I'm about a 25.

Was playing the combos at my club (8 tees from the tips, 10 from one-ups) and was even through the front last week. Started...

Last October we played all of them once, except Sheep twice (solely because we could get back out there immediately that day) and the Preserve twice. I did not book that trip and I felt that 18/day...

Sorry--was a dumb joke. I have been there and have plans to go back.

Is there any good golf there?

7wood is a god-tier club.

That's cool as hell, and so is Rose. Shame about the 6 hour rounds out there.

Just played in a 3-day tournament and I do not think I am cut out for "true" tournament play. Decent start then got in SIGNIFICANT tree trouble on the 5th, a par 5. Had about 18" for double and I...

Shot my best round ever the other day, a 75 at my home course. I had shot 76 a few times at other places but even after 50ish rounds at my home course, I'd never broken 80 there. It feels really good...

FWIW I have switched from ProV1x to Maxfli Tour X. Indistinguishable numbers on Trackman over multiple days testing, same feel, and $120 for four dozen. Just a little more than half the cost of the...

Got fitted for these two years ago but currently gaming these circa-2002 MP33s. Life of the blade, baby.

Thank you for the PTSD about how thick the fescue got last spring/early summer. YIKES.

Snow and ice is "temporary water" or a "loose impediment" at the player's choice. If you choose the former, then you can treat snow as a "abnormal course condition" and you can take a free drop. This...

Crazy that there is that much ice out there...do you know if they covered the greens (like with a tarp) before it snowed?

Love the Bandon pics.

Just got back from a Tampa-area bender where my brother made me play 6 rounds in 4 days. Pretty good if you're a private golf snob and into that sort of thing. I had played...

Going to Bandon and not playing Old Mac would make me sad in the pants.

I was recently in the area too for the most ridiculous 60-dude mess I've ever seen. Everyone plays their own ball the first day and then the top 30 draft the bottom 30, then a calcutta, then a...

Turns out Bandon is even better than I thought. I got kicked in the teeth most of the time but how can you be mad about short sleeve shirts all week in November?

Nice! Do it again this afternoon.

Also, I feel bad for you guys dealing with jammed tee sheets all the time. Just looked at the tee sheet for the course Iowagriz and I are members at (not the one...

Smokey sunset rounds with the boys and nobody else around. Pretty much as good as it gets...every bit as good as a pow day for me these days...also doesn't hurt when we played 18 at a different...

Average GIRs on the PGA tour is less than 12. Crazy stat.

Yeah, well, a set of irons will last way longer than any pair of skis that regularly see BS.

No reason at all. But if you have never done it, it may be worth getting fit, and that way you will be sure the get the right shaft for you. It makes a huuuuge difference if you are playing with...

I got whooped 5 and 6 in the first round of my club's match play last night. I was also keeping score and knew I was playing like absolute dogshit, but I didn't add it up until later.

97!!!!!!

Canyon River and Larchmont, a muni, are the only two public 18-hole courses in town. Canyon is way, way better. In fact, we were just talking about this the other day, and I think Canyon might be one...

It was great and in tremendous condition for late March. My host was incredibly knowledgeable about the course, its history, strategy, etc. He called it a "second-shot course" and that was true. Most...

I just had a GREAT week of golf in Utah, where golf wasn't even close to the main point of the trip.

Sand Hollow is justifiably famous for the crazy holes on the back 9, but the front 9 might be...

This is hilarious because I was playing at my bro's course in MN this summer. It kicked my ass and I ran out of balls so he gave me a sleeve of Bridgestones, and I promptly drew a dick on each one...

I got fitted this year. After four swings with my existing clubs, the fitter grabbed my 7 iron and said "you've never hit anything close to a draw with these, have you?"

Of course, I hadn't,...

Sure but for most fitters working at a retail place (including pro shops) you'll pay the same if you buy from them after a fitting versus getting the irons online, unless you are going used. This...

Ha. It was a 6h.

Holy fucking shit. I would probably just quit the game.

This dumbass (me) got a hole-in-one on Friday. 181 slightly uphill, into the wind.

That green looks good, how was the rest of the conditioning? I heard some folks complaining the other day, but it sounded like their major complaint was "hard brown fairways" and that is a good...

38-38 yesterday for a 76. +4 and my best round yet. Front was a wild ride with three birdies, three bogies, and a double. The back was really boring with just two bogies and no birdies.

Played...

This is super fucked up, but I am more sad about the imminent end of golf season than I am excited for the beginning of ski season.

Northland Country Club in Duluth, MN, a 1920 Donald Ross course, is one of the coolest courses I've ever played. SAVAGE greens, incredible elevation changes, and non-stop views of Lake Superior.
...

Played a garbage 40 front 9 yesterday and then was even on the back through 15, when my buddy says "You are gonna hit way under 80 today." I gave him the death glare and then proceeded to bogey,...

That is indeed the plan. My goal this year was to break 80 and on the 79 round I tripled 2 (hard ass hole, but still) with 4 putts, and just assumed I was well on my way to 90. But I somehow turned...

Before this weekend my best on any single 9 was 40 and my best total was 85.

Hit an 84 on Saturday night then came out and hit a 45 on the front followed by a 34 (!!!) on the back, for a total of...

1. I have a brand new set of irons, they don't even make a 3 iron in this model and I left the 4 on the rack.

2. I had my 3 wood out of the bag for a few months but took a lesson a few weeks ago...

They are going to be substantially harder to hit. Probably absurdly so compared to the M4s. Have you looked at places like https://www.2ndswing.com/ and Callaway pre-owned for reputable used clubs?...

His drive to the course is too long. :)

I can't remember, do you have different colored flags for pin placements? I like the 150 posts because it gives you an idea of how far to hit to have 150, 100, etc in to the center of the green...

Works for me. Let's just hope they still let us outside in August this year.

Let's play again, T. I am still on the waiting list out there and would like to play it again this summer if I can. I'll obviously pay the guest fee.

I'm just younger. ;)

I am not sure what tempo means exactly but I am pretty fucking happy hitting legit 85s on hard courses when I just got clubs in March and hadn't played in 25 years, and I...

I went and got fitted for new irons yesterday after playing ~50 rounds this year with some ebay TaylorMades my bro picked out. The shafts were WAY too stiff. I told the guy I wanted something "middle...
