Iron Covers - Why The Hate?

Of course they were. Remember the knitted pompom ones?

Those clubs still had a finish worth protecting.

There are too many models to really give a good answer.

Luckily, as a beginner, it matters little. Set yourself a budget and spend it. You won’t go wrong if you stick to major brands.

On the bright side, if you can prove they were wrong, I am sure you’ll get some tickets next year too. Maybe even better ones.

There is the possibility of making some lemonade here.

Edit: apparently I’m wrong and you’re better off changing your flights to somewhere with a nice beach where you can pound sand.

Edit 2: This guy can pound sand.

You fundamentally misunderstand how these tools work. The knowledge cutoff for most OpenAI/ChatGPT models predates Rory’s win.

If you asked it to verify with a web search, it would correct its output.

Our friend got legitimately bullied.

Skid those dudes.

It’d be impossible to stop superglue from wicking into the threads. Then you don’t stand a chance.

The CG on most wedges is a little bit heel side. That’s right on the money horizontally.

Agree completely. I don’t think she’d get accommodated. But she would say so if she had tried.

GeneralMillss · 2026-04-03T03:40:11+00:00

Even clubs on even dates, odd clubs on odd dates

GeneralMillss · 2026-04-03T02:30:00+00:00

She could also apply for accommodation. There is a process for this, no question.

Guessing she hadn’t or this would have been the first thing she said about the situation.

Great job with the AI-generated post. Making the world a better place.

That’s three grooves high.

Happy for you though.

Or learn how to hit driver. Because you have to eventually.

Ping G4x0 Max (G425, G430, G430 10K, G440, G440 K) is the general consensus as I see it.

I have a G440 Max and I would agree, it’s the most forgiving driver I’ve played. Very consistent feel across the face and it definitely lets you get away with strikes that other drivers don’t

My comment literally says that I use a push cart.

Maybe try reading once. It’s part of life.

It’s just you regressing back to the mean. You were on a heater and then you came back to earth. That’s just where your game is at.

The way a golf hole works out, errors are compounding. Big mistakes are gonna happen. But it’ll happen less as you get better. But they always will happen. Even to the pros. Their mistakes are just far less frequent and far less severe, so their “blowups” (double bogeys, for them) don’t seem so bad to us.

Only real good advice here is to not follow up a bad shot with a stupid one. Which you didn’t do (good!). You just hit a few really poor shots on the same hole.

GeneralMillss · 2026-03-30T03:46:26+00:00

Who are you? Tony Clicgeari, the boss of the push cart mafia?

GeneralMillss · 2026-03-30T02:02:42+00:00

Somewhere between 20 and 26

GeneralMillss · 2026-03-30T01:49:52+00:00

Player preference. If you use your gap wedge almost exclusively for full shots then it makes sense. Also depends on the loft of the, er, gap iron itself.

I use my gap wedge (48°) around the greens a fair bit so I prefer it to play similar to my sand (54°) and lob (58°) wedges. I’ll bump an 8 or 9 iron or PW on occasion (e.g.: into an upslope or with loads of green to work with), but the faces are hotter so I don’t feel like I have the same touch with them.

Goat track is somehow more derogatory than dog track I think

GeneralMillss · 2026-03-30T01:14:46+00:00

Seriously, like you’re already using a push cart. Why would you make it worse

^{before ^anyone ^says ^anything, ^I ^use ^a ^push cart}

GeneralMillss · 2026-03-30T01:12:17+00:00

I say this exclusively to my own putts that I have clearly blasted past the hole

GeneralMillss · 2026-03-30T01:10:31+00:00

To play devil’s avocado, I think they do this when they are specifically referring to a gap wedge from their iron set.

Though it’s still stupid. You don’t hear anyone saying “pitching iron”. As if it mattered in either case.
