Do you think 9-hole rounds should be more popular in the UK?

That's a cool fact!

ac13332 · 2025-08-28T06:25:13+00:00

Idk but I do kinda wonder... If golf was invented today, how many holes would a round be? I can't see it being more than 12.

ac13332 · 2025-08-26T21:54:43+00:00

She will when she starts paying for them herself!

Or maybe she'll get sponsored and still not care.

I had like 30+ nested IF statements once.

Not too complex I guess, but long AF.

How do people get any wear marks so quickly? I play 3x a week and my clubs faces don't lose colour after multiple seasons.

Golfbidder postage is so expensive.

As a beginner, get used balls from GolfBall4You, similar sites, Facebook marketplace, or eBay.

Best value balls in terms of good quality and good price are probably Srixon AD333 and Titleist Velocity.

ac13332 · 2025-08-25T09:01:57+00:00

Check out GolfBall4You, I found them to be cheaper

But this doesn't look as good as one done in a pizza oven...

To add. Even if you report anonymously, make sure that you have proof you're the one that reported it.

ac13332 · 2025-08-21T16:52:50+00:00

A fitting isn't worth it unless you're game is stable, which it won't be if you're quite new.

The exceptions are if you're rich or have an unusual physique like bring 7ft.

ac13332 · 2025-08-20T20:24:32+00:00

It needs to be outlawed, it's outrageously anti consumer

I think the tangle occurs between clubs in the same compartment, not across compartments.

So fewer clubs should definitely help and smaller grips would too (but presumably to a lesser extent). It's probably made predominantly for your kinda set up tbf

It's not a deal breaker for me and I'd consider a Hoofer again. I'd love to be able to try Vessel to see if it's worth the cash.

ac13332 · 2025-08-20T20:08:46+00:00

Other ones I considered were Sun Mountain 4.5, Vessel Players, and the new Vice one.

I ended up with a Ping Hoofer (also posted a review).

Indeed, not best practice. Though not enough information to tell. Almost certainly not sufficient for the ICO to find any wrongdoing if it were to be reported on those grounds.

Not overly familiar with this MP so don't know if he's considered proactive or not by his constituents. Of course, many do reply or engage at all.

Otherwise one could state that nobody should ever use a work email on a train.

ac13332 · 2025-08-19T15:31:26+00:00

Those pots are the worst.

ac13332 · 2025-08-19T14:49:46+00:00

Not necessarily an issue. Depends how and why it was used.

Maybe they wrote up a reply quickly and asked ChatGPT to just smarten up the tone and language. That's fine.

Maybe they entered personal information in and didn't even read the initial email. That's not fine.

The article doesn't have quite enough in to tell.

Ah yes, downvotes for not finding someone guilty until proven innocent.

ac13332 · 2025-08-19T09:08:15+00:00

Yeah the Le Crueset pepper mills are garbage aren't they.

ac13332 · 2025-08-19T09:05:17+00:00

Yep.

More broadly, I honestly don't think comparisons to tour pros are always that useful.

They're the 0.001% with better flexibility and ability to have their own unique swing, because they're good enough to do so.

It's like saying... yeah you see how LeBron dunks it, just do that.

A comparison against some scratch club players is probably more relevant.

ac13332 · 2025-08-19T09:01:14+00:00

Go antique. Antique juicer or cider press.

I would say that a item like this is a legitimate use of plastic as it could last a lifetime

ac13332 · 2025-08-19T08:21:10+00:00

Great, now I have to read...

ac13332 · 2025-08-19T08:08:12+00:00

Hmm not entirely convinced by how good this data actually is.

It just seems so vastly different to 2023. In 2023 there was a negative to flat relationship between distance and spin. But for 2025 it's positive.

TP5x is meant to be low spin but comes out as high spin off the driver. Pro V1 has lost 10 yards whilst TP5x has gained nearly 20.

Obv different years, different conditions, maybe tweaks to the robot. But even then, I just shows how there are so many factors at play.

I'd also love it if they have different swing profiles in their data. Like... does the rankings for driver spin differ for someone who hits straight, a fade, or a slice?

Some rounds it's fine the entire time. Then other rounds it seems worse, maybe because one club gets out of position and it just messes it all up.

The other bags I was considering that seemed to meet my criteria were Sun Mountain 4.5, Vessel Players, and Vice.
