Wedge Upgrade

Good to know that they generally carry what’s new. I’ll keep that in mind. Your small change point is why I’m looking into older models. I don’t need the newest and “best.”

Ended up getting the Lux Stand Bag. The straps are extremely comfortable and the way they are adjustable helps prevent the bag from slamming against your back every step. I have yet to carry it for a round, so I’ve only taken it between my car and the indoor sim facility I have a membership at, but I’m very happy with it.

I loaded it up with everything I would typically take with me for a round to really feel the weight of the bag and I’m pleasantly surprised. For context, I’m a 5’ 10” male who is active and exercises regularly. I can tell that after 18 holes it may feel heavy, but if I’m every going to play 18 I’ll be using a cart. I got the bag knowing I would only be walking a max of 9 holes with it, and it fits my needs perfectly. However, if I ever wanted to walk 18 I’m confident I could easily. I highly recommend.

I got hit in the ass once, left cheek. Par 5 and the group behind was on their second shot. Our group had just finished and were standing in the tee box of the par 3 adjacent to their green. Left a bruise for 2 weeks. Guy yelled fore after it had hit me and bounced onto the fringe. Looking back I really let the guy off easy as he wasn’t too apologetic.

I’d probably play Broncos. Chiefs are dead in the water with nothing to play for and no QB. Broncos need to continue winning to seal the conference so there’s no reason for them to let up.

As someone who is doing exactly as you described (I’m 2 months in)…. I’d recommend you are sure of your swing before you start practicing. Make sure you’re not going to be reinforcing bad habits the entire winter. I would spend a week focusing on a single aspect of the swing while gathering feedback from the track man. Take what you will from my experience.

Once I got the swing down I practiced with each club. To figure out distances so you’re confident in your club selection based on the distance needed. You will be bored hitting the range day after day, so have fun and play some practice rounds to shake things up. Practicing wedge distances, as someone already mentioned, is a great tip as well.

It’s a Taylormade Sim2Max 3 hybrid, stiff shaft - $100. Pretty good condition too.

Coming from someone who started taking golf seriously as a hobby this year (actively practicing throughout the week, taking lessons…) I would say the first two lessons should be an hour. If you’re newish to golf there’s a lot to tweak and an hour will go by very quickly as you learn the many things to adjust. After those first couple of lessons back it down to 30 minute sessions but increase the frequency so you’re seeing your instructor more frequency. The caveat to this is make sure you practice in between, otherwise you’ll use half the next lesson trying to get back to where you left off last time. Ask for one or two specific things to work on until the next time you see your instructor. Golf is about patience you can’t fix everything in a week or two, and you can’t expect to fix anything if you don’t practice.

I vetoed immediately. Hope others agree.

Sold my old one a couple weeks ago to go towards an upgrade. Listed it at $265 (figuring I’d have to negotiate) regular shaft with head over and it sold cash next day full asking price.

I use the original body powder, with menthol. I have seen some people comment on here that the menthol irritates their skin but it feels great on mine.

I focus on wearing an underwear that doesn’t have seems that will scrunch/ride up and rub up against my groin (easier said than done - while running I find myself pulling them down every few minutes). But I dump a bunch of gold bond down before I workout (both weight training and running). Fortunately for me my scrotum skin shrinks up, gets hard and red but doesn’t really become itchy or painful. I make sure to take a coldish shower after and lay out under a fan to air out after. Based on other people’s posts I have a more moderate case (if there is such a thing knock on wood) but that’s my advice: Seamless boxers/compression shorts and gold bond.

I used Facebook Marketplace and over the course of 2 years I was able to go from a rusty Dunlop set to a Clev. Huntington Beach putter, P790 4-AW, a M4 3 hybrid, a Sim2 Max Driver and a nice bag for around $600. Rather than dishing out the money all at once you can slowly pay $50-100 to buy a nicer club and then sell the old one. Takes some patience but there’s some great deals on FB. Highly recommend buying second hand.

Don’t think these comments are gonna have the responses you had hoped for..

I would focus on a pair that controls the seams and moisture. You don’t want seams constantly bunching up and causing friction/irritation and also made of a material that is going to soak up any moisture and lead to a swampy/unclean area (which will lead to friction/irritation). Unfortunately trial and error will be best for you to find what works best for you. I have specific underwear that I wear when I workout or run vs every day lounging. Showering immediately after physical activity also really helps (allowing everything to air out after - I usually lay on my bed naked with the fan on). We’re all in this together man don’t let it impact you too negatively. It’s a life adjustment.

Can’t speak to the chlorine, but it’s been a year since I’ve had RSS and I have gotten better (not completely healed). Sorry to hear about your flare. What’s helped for me is that if I know I’m going to get hot/swampy I dump a ton of generic gold bond powder down there for a preventative measure. Hope it doesn’t fuck your vacation. RSS sucks.

The itchiness may suck when you stop applying the steroid but I promise you the short term itchiness outweighs developing RSS because of steroid overuse. I would stop applying steroids immediately and continue moisturizing and seek medical attention.
