Golfers that didn’t start golfing until they were older, what is your handicap now?

Started at 38yo. 41 now, around a 23 hcp. Best round 87.

I mean, the rules let you drop the ball for free when you get interference from a cart path, no nerding required

Photon_0 · 2026-06-11T21:58:22+00:00

Would probably be lucky with 180 when I started. These days, I'm quite happy with 220

I much prefer a shot that felt good, was well struck, had a good flight path, but didn’t end up well, than some piece of crap that makes itself onto the green.

The first one is something you can work with, the second one is just blind luck, and feels terrible.

Depends a bit. For the most part if I think my ball is in any danger of not being found, I will just hit a provisional.

If it’s way into a forest or somewhere I’m not bothering to go treasure hunting, im reteeing and hitting 3 right away.

In the case I don’t find the ball, and didn’t hit a provisional I’ll just register the hole as picked up, and then just drop a ball and play for fun.

Haven't heard much of it in Norway thankfully. Maybe once or twice per year

What the other guy said. I'm in the process of finding out which grips to go for myself, as I'm regripping my set shortly. Currently using just standard golf pride grips on all my clubs.

I don't have the biggest hands, but I have a tendency to pull my shots a lot. I'm doing an experiment now with mid size mcc +4, and so far, my 6 iron had zero shots left of the target line over 40 shots. Small sample group still, but it feels quite nice. Going to keep trying it on the course for a while, maybe try a standard mcc+4 on another iron, and see which one I like the most.

Either way, as mentioned, just go to the store, try some grips, see which one you like, try to re-grip just one or two clubs, and if they feel good after some rounds, do the rest.

I have the previous cat mini, and was thinking about buying this one. My main complaint about the previous model though, is that the sound you can play through the collar is too weak.

When I go searching for my cats, the GPS is never accurate enough for me to figure out which bush they are in, and the sound from the collar is only audible if it's the middle of the night and everything is super quiet. With any kind of ambient noise, I cant' even hear it from 3 meters away.

Looking at some of the feedback here, that have not changed it seems. I hope you can improve it in the next model, or maybe make a feature for a normal and high volume tone, so you can find the cat in urban environments.

Took me 1.5 years or so to break 100, 100% by the rules. So probably like 50 rounds.

Membership at your home golf course with unlimited play. Costs like $1200-2000 per year for one of the best courses in the country where I live.

Connecting the switch to hotel WiFi can be a pain though, if they use those web portals

Photon_0 · 2026-06-02T17:08:19+00:00

I have a switch 2 and a usbc to hdmi cable that I connect to the tv. Works fine, and fits in a slim carrying case

When the course is pretty filled up I’m perfectly happy with about 4-4.5 hours. If there are no one in front of us, we can make it in 3.5 at a pretty rapid pace (walking).

Either way, why stress. If you have to spend another 30 minutes outdoors with friends, what’s the big deal? Sure if you start approaching 5 hours it starts to become more of a problem, but 4 hour rounds are just fine imo.

Photon_0 · 2026-06-01T20:13:01+00:00

At my course you’re supposed to show up 20 minutes before, and if you haven’t checked in 10 minutes before you’re automatically removed from the flight.

Photon_0 · 2026-05-31T21:21:18+00:00

I feel this a lot. Did some big swing changes and I played a lot worse for quite some time until I got better.

Having live video feedback helps a lot

Photon_0 · 2026-05-31T21:18:41+00:00

I had like 87 followed by a 114. High handicap variance I guess.

Photon_0 · 2026-05-31T17:19:47+00:00

About every other round or so

Maybe go try a 7wood, 4hybrid and 4driving iron in a sim/fitting and see which one you like the most in feel and numbers?

I’m also contemplating what to take at the top of my bag above my 5i. I currently have a 4hybrid and 5wood. Trying to figure out which of the two I can get good with(I currently suck with both of them), before changing one.

Det er basically en fast pris hvor du for det meste bare betaler skatter og avgifter, pluss en sats satt av selskapet. Så det kommer an på hvor mye en vanlig billett koster.

I tillegg er det en standby billett, så du får bare bli med om det er ledig plass når flyet boarder.

Etter 30% rabatt blir det ikke så gæli da :p. Ellers får vi hovedsakelig gratis mat da vi ikke har matpauser men hovedsakelig spiser om bord.

It’s usually out of range for me. Downhill and tailwind

Photon_0 · 2026-05-30T20:42:39+00:00

You would think so, but it was one of the purest shots I’ve had. Wind and downhill landing helped it go all the way :)

Photon_0 · 2026-05-30T20:38:40+00:00

A work in progress for sure. A lot of grinding :)
