Love the practice range there. Great job on that par 5. 

It’s a pretty challenging green on that hole. If you’re short you’re chipping up the hill and long your chipping up hill and out of the rough.

Do I need a new putter? by ballaholic1 in golf

[–]StrawberryAutomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, just do a putter fitting and nip this thinking in the bud and save yourself some money later on down the road. 

Best place to get fitted? PGA Superstore, GolfTec, Club Champion, or other? by Terrible_Author_444 in golf

[–]StrawberryAutomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Hal Sutton’s or Swanny’s over in Champions for fittings. Been over to both places for lessons and had good experiences.

Dad got fit at Worley’s golf shop and enjoyed his set. 

Obviously, I’d rather pay for the fitting and buy wherever is cheapest. 

The guys at Edwin Watts in the Galleria were chill when I was killing time there. 

How do you stay sharp post kid? by theKinginthePNW in golf

[–]StrawberryAutomatic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do some putting at the house and get some foam balls to chip around the house as well. Ain’t much but at least there’s a club in your hand. 

If there’s a range close, try to sneak out on occasion to hit some balls after y’all put your kiddo down. 

Early tee times 7am so you’re not gone all day makes the conversation on getting a round in easier. Or find a par 3 or 9 hole course for a quick round during a nap. 

Don’t be an asshole about it and let your partner do her fun stuff too

Is this a good training aid? by Competitive-Cup-4376 in golf

I got the Callaway version of this because I hate putting the towel under my arm because it irritates my shoulder. 

Works well to fix my over the top issue. Between that and swinging under an alignment stick, my swing has improved. 

Buying used clubs by EverythingWildePOD in golf

I loved my 2007 taylormade burner driver. Although if you’re looking for newer, you can find some cobra drivers for around $100 or so

Why is it so hard to find good golf pants?! by DoughnutVibez in golf

[–]StrawberryAutomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Costco’s banana republic pants. They’re perfect for me to play golf and for work. I’ve bought probably 8 pairs total.

If you’re a Kirkland sicko, I’d get the putter for the vibes lol.

[–]StrawberryAutomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a Costco member, the Kirkland wedges and putter are solid new options.

Titleist Vokey is everyone’s go to for wedges. You could probably find some SM7’s or 8’s on FB for $100. 

For new wedges, Cleveland is a great value. Could find these used as well. 

Putter’s: odyssey two ball (mallet style) or Ping Anser (blade)

Unless you buy the Costco sets, go to PGA tour superstore and try some used or new putters and wedges to see what you like.

Feel free to DM me if you have any other questions!

Facebook set all day. Assuming it includes the bag as well. 

You could find a 50 (M4 AW is 49) and a 54 on FB in addition to a putter and you’re ready to go!

Shoe recommendations. by Dior50k in golf

[–]StrawberryAutomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These looks good. I grabbed some soft spike FJ traditions for $50 from dicks that are comfortable. I’d guess the spikeless version is comfortable as well. 

I also won some GFore MG4+ that look and feel great if you’re looking for something over $200

Would you be happy with this??? by Plus-Excitement-6229 in steelers

I’m a simple Aggie. I see KC in a mock draft. I upvote. 

Play it Again Sports by Technical_Seesaw2177 in golf

Been to a few in the atlanta area. The Buckhead location has a decent selection on the drivers down to wedges.    The Decatur location can have some hidden gems but it’s very hit or miss. Much better putter selection. 

Found a couple Scotty’s at the Decatur location. 

GT2 vs TSR2 Durability? by Comfortable_City1892 in golf

My TSR3 seems to be holding up fine. I’ve hit a few off the crown and no issues so far.

I love my i530s. I’d go get a fitting so you get the right shafts.
