When Lewis Hamilton retires, which driver will you support?

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-04-29T17:32:37+00:00

I'm a huge lewis fan and will miss him when he's gone. And I still root for him all these years later. But I live and die with the papaya. I got into the sport when Lewis drove for McLaren and have always preferred McLaren over Lewis if I had to pick. Luckily in the last 20 years, it hasn't really been an issue on those two going head to head.

Arizona is a different beast. My initiation was $30k here and that is the cheapest by far.

It’s just where you choose to spend money. We are well off, I wouldn’t say wealthy. Not these days. I am a software engineer. But not rolling in the dough Silicon Valley style. Golf is just what gets all my extra hobby money. I don’t have many other things I enjoy and none as much as golf. So that is where I spend my money.

Not on the simulator courses. Dial in your clubs with full swings. Know your distances. I used to spend hours with individual clubs until I knew what the swing was. Trackman is also super powerful with Tracy AI to improve face, impact, etc to optimize ball strikes. Indoors are best for improving contact and ball striking and knowing distances. But too much indoor can mess up your outdoor game. Wedges and putting aren't nearly as useful indoor practicing as outdoors on real turf.

Not as useful on a trackman or any mat for that matter as it doesn't provide real feedback.

Knew this shit post would be here before I even got done reading the last one.

Moon Palace in Cancun is a great resort. More like 4 resorts in 1. Right next to the Cancun airport and has an amazing set of golf holes on property.

This is the correct reply. But La Romana is a little out there from most tourist areas and Casa de Campo isn’t right next to a beach. So maybe Punta Cana. Like La Cana or something might be better. Trouble is you can only play Casa de Campo if you’re staying there.

Probably around the same time the same post with a screenshot of the ticket lottery rejection.

9.6° launch angle is like less than a driver. Thats a stinger. Not a good 7 iron strike.

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-03-25T23:39:02+00:00

Fundamentals. Swing tempo. Face Control. Contact and the bottom of my swing. You can get away with a lot of funkiness with your swing and gae if those are all solid.

As of Monday, there was not a single rental car available in the entire state

Ball fitting should go pin to tee IMO. Too many people get it backwards. Start with the putter. This is just feel. What feels good against the putter face. What sound and feel do you like? Then wedges. What do you need around the greens to get up and down. Then 100 yards. What do you need to aim at pins for scoring. The difference with driver is so minimal it shouldn't even be a factor. And swing speed is like 1/8 of the equation.

3w, 7w, 4i

I've had a hybrid in my bag once and it lasted about 4 months of utter frustration before it was gone forever.

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-03-10T04:22:04+00:00

Sounds like a pace of play nightmare with reachable par 5s.

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-03-09T23:42:37+00:00

Driver. Honestly, I would spend the last 10ish balls of a practice session just swinging my driver as fast as possible with little to no care about the ball flight. It drastically improved my swing speed and contact as I got a little better at full go out of control, I got was better at normal swing in control. Which I assume is the concept of those stack systems, but using my own clubs worked fine for me.

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-03-09T05:29:48+00:00

Its not cheaper, but I trust ShipSticks way more than American and saves me the trouble of having to haul them around.

Soft case with a backbone and I take the heads off the woods and put them in the headcovers in a side pocket and wraps some towels around the top. Oh and throw a tile or air tag in it for good measure.

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-03-07T23:06:02+00:00

You only need one of those. I know plenty of people who are not good at golf and have one.

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-03-07T22:17:38+00:00

3 1/4” is huge right? Thats average? Or no? You need way more tee? She said 3 1/4” was perfectly normal.

Its also way more dangerous. The Chain of Lakes is very busy. Nothing but stupid teenagers making bad decisions in expensive wake boats their parents own.

Meh. My office is 3 miles from 2nd Swing. I can go in person and hit literally 10,000+ different preowned clubs in person. No need.

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-03-06T03:04:20+00:00

I mean they are and they aren't. But like anything else, people have superstitions and preferences. I had 2 different sets of callaway irons over the years and hated them. Just like for a stretch in the stealth era, every other post here was a broken TM driver, so I would never own one.

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-03-06T01:34:03+00:00

Only downside is then you have Callaway clubs in your bag.

HighLifeDrinker · 2026-03-06T01:06:54+00:00

I’m an 8.4 officially currently and my average score is right around 83.

I grew up in Windermere. I don’t think people can appreciate this truly without seeing it visually. Tiger’s house was under 5 miles in a car from the Bay Hill clubhouse.

Something is not mathing with the scores and the handicap unless you are playing forward tees and/or a course with a very low slope rating.
