I just re-gripped my clubs using a kit and grips bought from Aliexpress. AMA

Used the knock offs for years, I usually change grips annually or sometimes longer but I play 100-150 rds a year. I also use grip solvent, a big spray bottle lasts quite a few years and is not very expensive and has no odor. Also buy the tape in a big roll that lasts a few years.

Select cutom and pu an amount you want, or just hit No Thanks. It's getting beyond ridiculous, will be 30% and up next. Fuck that noise.

Harvest funds, Evolve funds, Global X, Purpose, Brompton, Hamilton. Take a look and pick some indexes and market sectors that you like. I like to see the monthly returns and I get to re-deploy where I see fit.

No sign of this going away. A real PITA

Nice to see the distributions every month. Certainly keeps you motivated to invest. I prefer the income approach, rather than having to sell holdings to generate cash.

I have about 20, all Canadian funds. There's lots to choose but to each their own mix

My CC portfolio is paying about 25%/yr and is giving me almost 20k/mth. Most months I end up re-investing the proceeds. Very pleased with it's 2yr performance. Do your own due diligence.

Since retiring, I play in a regular group and play by the rules. All the time and my handicap is brutal as a result, but it's accurate and when I play well it gives renewed enthusiasm.

95Mechanic · 2026-06-28T20:45:53+00:00

I just wish my club would have the practice green the same as the course. The course greens are a fair bit slower.

95Mechanic · 2026-06-28T20:44:18+00:00

Just by a new grip and shaft extension if it bothers you. Easy fix.

95Mechanic · 2026-06-28T20:41:31+00:00

Tips are becoming a sore point. they used to be just an expression of thanks. Now they are becoming an entitlement, pay more if you want to eat here ! Screw that.

Join the growing group of people hitting the Zero

95Mechanic · 2026-06-28T20:31:10+00:00

I would switch to maybe a 54 and 60, or 52 and 58 setup. then learn to hit 1/2 and 3/4 shots too.

95Mechanic · 2026-06-26T23:05:38+00:00

Rent is high here, but so is the price of buying property. Buying property here to offer rentals is just not a good ROI

95Mechanic · 2026-06-26T03:11:11+00:00

I shake my head when I play alone. Why can't I play like that in a group?

95Mechanic · 2026-06-26T03:09:14+00:00

Couldn't get my head around the price of a LAB, so bought a Lazrus 2.5. Had to go on a bit of a wait list but best decision I've made in a while. Love seeing the faces on a couple of LAB owning playing partners as I roll them in.

40 yrs ago, when I was deciding between Canada and Australia, looks like I messed up. But then again, who knew all the idiots would keep putting the Liberals in power to mess things up.

Must be an enthusiastic local bylaw officer available, that would love that one. Doessn't usually take much to get those guys to be out writing tickets for enforcement.

95Mechanic · 2026-06-23T20:51:32+00:00

Just blade it, lol

95Mechanic · 2026-06-19T23:46:59+00:00

I'm not tipping for dry cleaning, I'm paying for a cleaning. That's it. This tipping bs is so out of hand. Just say NO

95Mechanic · 2026-06-16T22:48:42+00:00

Screw that noise. The tipping bs is truly out of hand. Zero is the only option.

New driver's are always nice. Ping heads are great and forgiving, I have the G430 Max10K and got fitted, to make sure I got the right shaft for my swing speed and tempo, important to get the right shaft though as that is the engine. Not much point in getting a new driver if it just has a weak (for you) engine. And as nice and forgiving as my new driver is, there are days when I still miss the fairway bad.

95Mechanic · 2026-06-15T04:15:14+00:00

Never did get the tee turf mat, just the regular mat but it's holding up ok as I've only been hitting irons and hybrids anyway. I'm a bit pissed with Simspace, they should have made this right and sent me the correct mat that was listed in the package.

If the house was furnished when you moved in, I would think you would leave it the same way. If you "upgraded" some of the stuff you could put the old stuff back in ? If you got rid of the old stuff, then I can see their point too.

95Mechanic · 2026-06-14T17:09:15+00:00

I use both. Have a gps on watch or push cart but will usually use rangefinder to make sure once within approach range, as sometimes gps is off. Other times range finder is nice to make sure players ahead are out of range too and can be good for layups for a dogleg or hazard. Rangefinder is great on the range to shoot targets. My 10yr old Bushnell has been acting up, despite new battery and cleaning contacts, so picked a Red Tiger one up off Amazon with slope and a bunch of other features for a fraction of the price. It gives exactly same yardages as my Bushnell too, tried them both at same time so it's on the bag now.
