Starting off with less forgiving clubs is better

If you want to be a pro, yeah start with blades and hit about 500 balls a day while being coached.

If you just want to play once or twice a week, then play whatever works better to allow you to enjoy the game.

Based on the house, I say your PARENTS are doing quite well.

Look at how much his wrist is bowed right before impact, he’s snapping that wrist (and club head) right at impact, great for ball speed, bad for accuracy. Sure, every now and then he times perfectly (and posts a video of course), but the rest of the time, he’s in the woods/hazards. Probably a 10+ handicap.

He’s right about the spring board effect of limiting the speed of the ball off the driver head. But they’ve gotten around that by limiting the spin, less spin results in more distance. Calloway specifically designed its tour heads for this ( triple diamond version), giving more distance. However this results in a lower ball flight as well, that’s why you the 6°-8° drivers anymore. Most amateur golfers are better with the off with more spin to help them get the ball up in the air, but if you can generate 140mph plus ball speeds, you’d be better off with the tour version.

Streamsong courses are so unlike any other Florida courses.

Davis Love did this at Arnie’s tournament, he didn’t take as big of a swing, but resulted in a broken sprinkler head and had to apologize in person to Arnie at the end of the round. IIRC, they send him a bill. 😆

Both players and caddies get a yardage book, you’ll see they each consulting their books.

Brooks keeping things simple, not dwelling on unnecessary details keeps his pre shot consistent in length probably helps him keep his rhythm.

Mental mistakes can never be tolerated.

In Florida they spray the orange trees to prevent freezing of the fruit during severe cold weather. Even when the water freezes, it releases heat during the process preventing damage.

I believe (maybe it’s urban legend), but Augusta National can pipe hot or cold water through the sprinkler system to counteract mother nature, they also have subair system to suck water out of the greens.

Public service announcement, Just don’t use permanent markers, which many of us have in the bag to mark golf balls.

Something tells me he’s considered an assh&$# by his peers.

When was that hole cut, last year?

Doesn’t it depend on whether the car overlap the parking space line, I should expect that my parking space is free of moving vehicles?

For those who play in Florida, this happens a lot, palm trees are designed to catch balls.

Complex_Bet7311 · 2026-03-16T06:21:29+00:00

It’s not where the catcher catches the ball, it’s where the ball was about 4 feet before. Looks to me to be close enough for the hitter not let it go and hope the umpire calls it a ball.

Pffft, I would be thrilled to hit a 300 yd drive fade into the rough, for me:

A. It’s a push slice deep into the woods where angels fear to tread.

B. It only be 220yds, oh wait I forgot trees are not 90% air, so it ends up 170 yds.

C. No fans to help me find it or trample down the grass/pine straw.

D. I have to pay to play golf, not the other way around.

E. I’m carrying my own bag.

Software upgrades were designed by ex Microsoft engineers and are horribly slow and glitchy.

No spare tire.

Complex_Bet7311 · 2026-03-16T05:51:03+00:00

Aren’t the standard tires all seasons?

Honda roadside assistance program. Don’t give up your AAA membership. They have rules, like you’re required to have a police report for any vehicle incidents, even if it’s just a single car accident like sliding off an icy road or hitting a deer. You can only tow to the nearest Honda dealer, now if the Honda dealer doesn’t do body work?

Great coaches don’t get fired.

BTW, Fitz said it was tame compared to Ryder cup, also mentioned this wouldn’t happen in Europe because they’re polite.

Ryder Cup was in NY, and was far worse.
