I would hit a driver with a clown face on the head if it went far and straight. Luckily my Ping accomplishes that without looking too gauche. ("far" is relative)
This got a chuckle out of me With Greller giving an "I'm getting too old for this shit look" as he gets up and down
This is pretty crazy. Drivable par 4, player putts for birdie. While putt is rolling, it gets hit another players tee shot
Went to a Titleist fitting yesterday to replace my 4H because it’s completely useless in my hands. Walked away with a 7W….and a new driver
Has anyone done a ball fitting to see what type of ball you should be hitting? COmplete waste? I'm a high single digit index and cant imagine it matters for me.
I’ve always wondered about this and at what point it matters, skill wise, beyond just “I like how it feels”. also not sure how people feel about my golf spy https://mygolfspy.com/buyers-guides/golf-balls/2023-golf-ball-test/
I googled ball fitting once. Went to the place to see what they said. Was not for golf and those bars/locks hurt.
I haven’t, but I personally have hit a point of consistency in my game where for the first time ever I notice actual performance differences between balls and not just feel. I’ve been between a 4 and low 5 this year. Specifically, I’ve found AVX works much better for me than standard ProV1. I naturally hit it high and spinny. I played a solid month of nothing but AVX then played a standard and the nice little cut I was playing became a bit more pronounced and I was spinning shit off greens. Went back to AVX and consistency was there. So it would seem a ball fitting could help. These differences would be pretty clear on a Trackman.
Sports needs characters, whether you agree with the takes or not he at least gives answers and opens up when there is a mike in front of him.
Had a 2 day tournament at the club this weekend. I let MSU shitting the bed affect me yesterday. 2 shots off the lead at the turn then the game started. Had a 9 on a hole. Finished at the bottom of the pack on day 1 and just goofed off and had fun today. Had $20 bet with a guy in the group behind me that I could catch him. I was 5 over after 3 holes. I left the $20 for him on the t box of hole 4 with a note that said I suck. Crappy weekend.
You aren't kidding. They cut to his dad's reaction of the winning putt instead of staying on Sahith to see how he reacted.
Stricker has won $4 million on the Champions Tour this year and hasn't even played a heavy schedule. Players lighting the tour of fire because top players didn't get enough money were forgetting the Social Security blanket of getting millions for playing golf that NOBODY cares about. They didn't need to go to LIV, they just needed to wait a few years. Phil with a Workday hat, Callaway clubs, etc would have made a lot of money over time.
I'm not great at math, but $200m/$4m seems like a lot of years for Phil to try and play the Champions Tour.
Phil of course cant help himself in that dumb af tweet trying to blame Billy Walters for his problems. Always someone else to blame. Always a grievance complex. just b/c his children rightfully think their dad is a tremendous piece of shit
I leave Monday. Only going to the Ryder Cup for one day though, but that's good enough for me. Being a tourist the rest of it.
First round of member guest. Played some shitty golf. Luckily other team played shittier. Tee gift was a Scotty Cameron , which is not too shabby
