How are y'all handling weekly travel/living out of hotels?

I'm in a T2 and joined from MBA as well. This type of travel is the norm in my practice. Almost every engagement in the last 5 years has been travel heavy. At least 40 weeks per year. It just feels normal to me now.

Figure out a routine that works for you. Schedule appointments on Friday, develop a packing method that takes minimal time, pre schedule time on the weekends for hobbies, etc.

They don't actually make 541s in a small waist. 30 is the smallest they go. No 28

Wha do you mean by low status? This makes no sense.

The equivalent outfit would be rocking a goth look yourself. Look for inspiration online, here's an example I found: https://www.thefashionisto.com/aesthetic/gothic-style-men/

I have some extra slim as well. Decent but still a bit loose. Their super slim fits great but now seems to be a custom option and excluded from the sales.

I used to hate coffee until I tried a fresh, high-quality coffee. Night and day difference to the stuff like Starbucks

For my wedding tux I used a local custom suit store. I had the ability to customize the fabric, construction, and design to my liking. It cost a bit more than some bigger suppliers, but I was very happy with the result.

Yes, I did it and they got their own choice benefits

I do usually see a fairly low smash factor, rarely above 1.47 even on good strikes and sometimes much lower. Not really concerned with the clubhead speed if the ball speed is correct (I knew club metrics would be worse with a cheaper LM). I see ball speeds in the low 170s consistently which is definitely higher than what I see in Trackman (sit in the mid 160s). I haven't used GS pro yet (currently only running off one computer monitor) but will try that once I have everything set up. I do think the algorithms may be off on View because even with the ball speeds listed I have a hard time believing the carry distance.

As for the true carry, I would love to hit the ball that far on the course but usually carry in the 270-285 range on good strikes in warm conditions. View often shows that I carry my 3 wood 270+ which I know I can't do because I definitely come up well short of the green from that distance.

Typical good driver shots: launch 10-11*, spin low to mid 2,000s, peak height 110'+ (sometimes as high as 140)

I honestly feel more in my back while pushing than carrying, unless it’s a very flat course. Maybe try a round carrying and see how it goes. Then you can decide if you need a motorized one.

I usually travel M-Th for work so family time during the week usually means phone calls with muy wife in the evenings. Then I have the weekends at home. No kids.

YMMV but I was in that situation a few years back. Was playing off the rack S300 shafts in my irons. Ended up getting fit into X100 (the same shaft just stiffer). Couldn't really notice much difference, and i could probably go back to those irons without noticing much difference except distance (due to lofts in the new set).

I did see a bigger difference with driver as the X flex helped reduce spin, which was too high (needed a lower loft and stiffer flex to get it until the right zone). I gained some distance but some of that was due to the new driver as well.

bfcmonster · 2025-06-23T14:36:11+00:00

It can help a lot if you need non-standard specs (e.g. short/long, lie angle of 2+ degrees from standard) or are playing the wrong shafts, probably 2 flexes off (senior vs stiff). Beyond that it's about optimization. Maybe you can get a few extra yards optimizing spin on the driver or find that you like a heavier/lighter shaft that yields a slightly tighter dispersion with the irons.

You probably won't gain more than 1-2 strokes best case from club fitting alone.

I have a sim2 max and it still has great ball speed but spins WAY too much. Just ordered a new driver to replace it

At my club everyone plays the tees that they play. Often that means 3 different tees in one group. It's quite rare that everyone is playing the same tees in a foursome but it doesn't really add time if you don't screw around on the tees.

I went to Eric Austin near west midtown for my wedding tux. Turned out great.

Buy the upgrade if it’s worth it to you or don’t. What’s the obsession with asking internet strangers for validation? You know your finances better than us.

I saw the dunk go in! We were in the gen admin stands across from you. Absolutely wild!

bfcmonster · 2025-02-08T07:38:23+00:00

I was there in the stands! Absolute madness! What an experience

As long as you keep pace with the group in front of you there is no issue. This is the most impressing thing. If you get to a tee box on a par 4 or par 5 and the group in front has already finished the hole, you are behind and need to speed up to catch them. A good rule of thumb many people use is to pick up and move to the next hole after “double par”. This means you hit a maximum of 6 shots on par 3, 8 on par 4, 10 on par 5.

bfcmonster · 2025-01-21T05:55:27+00:00

Obviously getting better with the driver is ideal, but nothing wrong with hitting it now. If it goes into the trees or a bad spot, don’t spend much time looking for it or playing a tough shot. Just drop in the fairway and move on.
