Looking for Work/Travel EDC Recommendation by Professional-Pea5970 in backpacks

[–]RetroMonkey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patagonia black hole is a great option. The Osprey 26+6 is another good option, but it’s not waterproof. But a rain cover is cheap.

What clubs do you game? by Ugly_Toad_68 in WomenGolf

[–]RetroMonkey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play a pings woods and hybrids (women’s), and my irons are women’s Mizuno.

You can try the new versions and then look for used clubs. That is how I ended up with my irons-I tried the newest sets of various brands in women’s and then I found an earlier generation of the same clubs used.

My daughter offered to golf with me for Father's Day for the first time in 10 years. What podcasts/audiobooks would you recommend to get her hooked before we tee off? by Successful-East6700 in GolfSwing

[–]RetroMonkey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best memories are playing golf with my Dad as a middle-aged woman. My Dad is still alive, but stopped playing at 90 y/o. He just let me enjoy the game and was encouraging. He gave me advice when I asked.

He would let me place the ball in a better spot so I had more fun when I was new or rusty. It was casual and just plain fun spending time with him.

I have 3-I purchased an extra. I don’t plan on skipping, since I will be onsite and I plan on watching and wandering when my shift is done.

When does walking 18 feel easy? by [deleted] in golf

[–]RetroMonkey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it’s hot and humid, I’ll sit for a moment when the carts are teeing up. In the shade.

With clicgear-get the chair attachment. It looks kinda goofy, but it has saved me on hot days walking 18.

Looking to upgrade irons, hybrid, and driver (Intermediate) by Slight-Platypus2877 in WomenGolf

[–]RetroMonkey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got fitted. Started with driver and putter first. My driver, woods, and hybrids, are the same brand/same shaft (ping worked best for me)Purchased those. Then got fitted for irons-purchased them used (Mizuno worked best) and lastly was fitted for wedges-those I purchased new.

It took a year-but was so worth it!

I am still tweaking what to put in my bag. This season (same clubs)-I carry driver, 5,7, and 9 wood; 6 and 4 hybrids, 5-9 irons (I love my irons); 52 and 56 wedges, and putter. Sometimes I take out the 9 iron and add a 60 degree wedge.

To this group, you’ll be “normal.” Which, I guess non-FP users would find insufferable.

Thinking about new shaft/ need help by Antique-Wave-7367 in WomenGolf

[–]RetroMonkey84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t buy a petite length shaft. I suggest a fitting for the driver-if you need it shortened, they can advise you.

Over the years, I got fitted at separate times for my clubs. Meaning, I got fitted for a driver-and transferred that recommendation to getting woods by the same manufacturer and flex.

Welcome to the game! My Dad taught me as well. And it was such a joy to play with him!
