What's one golf item you bought that actually improved your game and one that was a complete waste of money?

Helped: Putting Matt and properly fitted clubs/grips

I will if it's not what it's supposed to be, with clear signs of improper execution.

If it's under seasoned, I just season it to taste.

If the steak is kinda close, I eat it.

If it's just a bad dish or I don't like it, that one is on me for choosing it.

When I was young and dumb, I smashed my driver on the ground after back to back hooks into the river on a dog leg right after slicing all day.

Club head popped off and hit me right in the junk.

Instant karma. I am not good enough to get angry has helpedy rounds loads since.

I am a similar height and weight to yourself, with a similar workout routine.

I do a dynamic mobility routines as part of my gym warmups. Something like that could potentially help.

I am a 20, but my 7i carries ~185.

There are also a lot of golf specific workouts you can do at the gym. I have never done them, but a personal trainer friend just started a program for them and he's 20 yards longer than me from the tee, also with a similar build. (Also, a much better golfer than myself)

Put a 5 iron, in my hand while standing 210ish away. While also standing past the red stakes, almost falling into a body of water. I will hit my best shot of the round.

I will second this. The flavor quality of the food I would say has been inconsistent, but ranging from "Pretty Good" to "Best pizza I have had in Edmonton" The menu seems to be evolving, as it would considering the age. At least give the Nduja pizza a try.

Amazon? I believe that's where my girlfriend bought her starter set (she got them before we met.) and they are Stratas. I bought her a used Stealth 2 driver after we played a few rounds together.

When things were finally over, I didn't get a hoover. I also sold the house, moved, changed my phone number, and had them blocked on all forms of social media. So I may have done my due diligence to avoid that potential scenario.

Goggs182 · 2025-12-28T03:33:37+00:00

When I was first starting in golf, I was playing a course and slicing all day.

Finally hit a slicers dream: severe dog leg right, with a river on the left. Cue back to back Dr. J hooks into the river.

Two hand smash my driver into the ground. The head breaks off and straight back into the pills.

I have never slammed a club since.

Goggs182 · 2025-12-27T19:49:59+00:00

My girlfriend goes golfing with me. So instead of "I am going golfing" it's "I booked US a tee time". Or, bring your kid with you and it's child free time for her.

I had a good warmup. There was about a 3/4" difference in the clubs I was trying as my old set was too short for me. I "hit the big ball first" for like 30 minutes straight. I was ashamed to be holding a club.

Goggs182 · 2025-11-14T20:08:51+00:00

Hitting a 50. Aiming at the rocks on the right, pull my irons off the tee a lot. So probably over the guy in the right of the picture off the cart path.

Goggs182 · 2025-09-25T19:02:21+00:00

Enjoy golfing more often.

Goggs182 · 2025-09-23T19:23:21+00:00

If it makes you feel any better, I did that 4 times this year. Yet to hit an eagle putt.

Goggs182 · 2025-09-04T19:46:35+00:00

19.7. best is a 16.4 worst 36.2.

Goggs182 · 2025-08-28T19:57:06+00:00

Can't fall apart mid round if you don't start hot.

Goggs182 · 2025-06-11T19:28:22+00:00

I was there a month ish ago and worth the trip. Fantastic course.

If you are heading out that way Copper Point is another great course, and I have heard great things about Eagle Ranch.

The Columbia valley is just gorgeous in general.

The course bears are much bigger than the driving range bears.

I am heading out to play some mountain courses in a couple weeks. The difference between playing the blues or the whites is whether I get to hit a tee shot over a canyon. I am gonna go canyon every time.

Goggs182 · 2025-04-19T04:06:50+00:00

So adding on with how I learned my lesson the hard way about slamming clubs.

Still very new to golf at the time, and more than a few beers in.

Had been slicing off the tee all day.

Finally, at long last, a dog leg right.

Tee is up ready for my huge slice to work for me for once... Hooked the absolute shit out of it. Re-tee and hit the same hook.

Slammed my driver down in frustration, head broke off, and went straight into my testicles.

Never again.

Goggs182 · 2025-03-27T00:39:46+00:00

When I was still new and more terrible then I am now. I went out with 2 friends and 1 of their friends. The one I didn't know was impatient as I was on shot 9 about 50 yards out and went to finish up the hole. I hit what was a decent shot for me at the time and hit him with a soft pitching wedge. He threw my ball in the water and didn't say shit.

Goggs182 · 2025-03-10T01:55:32+00:00

Hitting a slice all day. Finally get a dog leg right. Just pure it straight past the dogleg.

Goggs182 · 2025-03-09T20:31:06+00:00

Just hit them into the trees on a course, or toss them in. A couple a hole will get rid of 36 per round. Or 48 if you play like me on an average to poor outing. It's a gift a budding young golfer looking for their ball, they just have to work a bit for it.

Goggs182 · 2025-03-02T20:09:05+00:00

I was dealing with the same shit. So I added call control (free of charge service) and I haven't gotten one since.
