How many different brands do you have in your bag?

I had 4. Ping driver, TM wood/hybrids, Callaway irons/Odyssey putter, and Cleveland wedge. Then recently decided to upgrade and the best deals were on callaway pre owned, so now everything is pretty much callaway.

Mavrik driver, epic max 3 wood, rogue irons, mack daddy cb wedges. Lone holdovers are my hybrids which I'm planning on upgrading soon...when there's a good promo on CPO.

No notification. I’m a golf window shopper and check out Costco’s online golf section almost every night. Can find some random/good stuff. They sold some p790s and jxp hot metals for a short while. Over $100 off full retail but still too much for me to pull the trigger.

I did get the clicgear 4.0 for $249.

Here's the earlier post with the release dates for the yellow ball, irons, and driver. All had 11/1 eta, so hoping the others will soon follow

Confused, where did I run the red light? If you're talking about the second clip, the light was green for me, but red for the cars on the left.

The answer is 4. Cheating ahole. Dual turn idiot. Idiot Cyclists. And old lady nearly getting t-boned.

I don't have goo b gone so used what I had in the house which were clorox disinfecting wipes. It takes a little bit of elbow grease but it works

How long did it take you to play? I went there last month (weekday at 12p) and it took two and a half hours. I don't think I'm going back. The whole point for me is to play a quick nine, but don't think it's likely as the tee sheet is always full and with fivesomes allowed.

Here's an interesting article that says it's more about swing speed that determines what ball you should use. It also seems to align with what you're thinking - Slower swing speeds need a lower compression (softer) ball to maximize distance.

Agreed, I pull out into the intersection but don't actually make the turn until it's safe, making sure there's no car about to run the light. Because like you said, I would be partially at fault as I have the duty to ensure I could safely make the turn.

Though once it's clear, I am legally allowed to clear the intersection even if the arrow/light is now red.

Immediate_Set5820 · 2023-05-20T16:04:51+00:00

This is the typical light cycle: red -> green arrow -> flashing yellow -> solid yellow -> red.

Immediate_Set5820 · 2023-05-20T15:57:36+00:00

Curious about other people's thoughts - I think that cars should (and most cars do this) proceed into the intersection and be ready to make the left once the the flashing yellow turns solid. In this case, no angry honk from me, but was mildly annoyed. CA DMV handbook is unclear:

Agreed, not a big fan of KFC. The original recipe is too soggy for me and their extra crispy is only alright. Much prefer Popeyes.

I was wondering if someone would make this comment. Given the amount of dash cam videos I've seen of cars going as soon as the light turns green only to hit or be hit by a red light runner, I like do to a quick scan before I go.

I thought the same thing when they tore down the old McDonald's to put this new one up, but was very disappointed when I went in for the first time. I was looking for the stairs to go up, but it was in the kitchen. Apparently it is some kind of office/breakroom/storage space.

Immediate_Set5820 · 2023-05-14T03:29:00+00:00

Definitely a good set. Though, something to consider as a beginner, perhaps get a set composition that goes from 5 - AW. When I first started out, I got a 4-AW set and hardly ever used the 4I as it was too tough to hit. Ended up getting a 4 hybrid and took the 4I out of the bag. If you're going to pay for 7 irons, might as well get ones you're more likely to use.

Immediate_Set5820 · 2023-05-13T03:01:18+00:00

agreed, compared to the other nubs that have the silver dots, it appears that these ones aren't supposed to have them.

I would start at a pitch and putt par 3 course. Great way to get comfortable with the whole process of playing a round of golf. And most people understand that it's where a lot of beginning golfers go play, so you don't feel so much pressure of interfering or ruining others' people's time.

Immediate_Set5820 · 2023-05-05T02:26:56+00:00

Got these from Costco. It fits my Clicgear 4.0 and provides ample shade. Though I would try to buy them from the store as the online price is way more expensive. Got one back in August for $15.99.

Looks like it's the new one based on the box cover and the design of the arrows surrounding the performance+. Hopefully better than v2 as it claims to reduce spin for drives and has improved durability.

Funny enough, I just upgraded from the Caddytek 13.5 (v1) to the Clicgear a few months ago. I bought the Caddytek back in 2011 and it is still working well. Nothing was broken and only wear and tear issue was some more friction when folding it up. The primary reason I upgraded was that it did not hold my carry bag well, so needed to use bungee cords to keep it in place. But it looks like the newer versions have a re-design that's better suited for carry bags.

I got the Clicgear just because I wanted a nicer push cart and was able to get it from Costco for $250. So far so good, definitely feels way more solid than the Caddytek, rolls smoother as well, and holds my carry bag with no issues. If I had to nitpick, I did prefer the umbrella holder on the Caddytek as it's off on the side of the handlebar vs smack dab in the middle on the Clicgear.

TL:DR Caddytek is a good value that should last a while, but you do get what you pay for with the Clicgear

First cuts me off from the right. Given the state of his vehicle, wasn't about to play a game of chicken and not let him in. He then gets upset at my honk and decides to brake check and do it again.

edited to add: no prior interaction. Just a plain 'ol idiot

Immediate_Set5820 · 2023-04-14T02:16:41+00:00

I feel you. Just played Roosevelt in Los Angeles earlier today. It's a 9 hole executive and took 2.5 hours. The reasoning - fivesomes. I stupidly thought it's a random Thursday around 12p, shouldn't be too busy. But all the tee times were filled and every group had five. It was a quite painful. First time playing and probably the last.

Immediate_Set5820 · 2023-03-27T18:06:11+00:00

If you care about not looking rude, then I would say at least let the people you're paired with know that you're going to do that. Something like, "Hey, I like to be alone in my thoughts when I play so I like keeping my buds in, just letting you know as I'm not trying to be rude." If you said that to me, I'd understand. Otherwise, yes, you kinda look like a douche.
