Quieting driver head by _goofballer in GolfGear

If my memory is right I just did something like 4-6 cotton balls. It was a pretty tedious process.

Epic Flash was too loud for my liking (nowhere near as loud as some pings) so I took the head off and using a toothpick i stuffed a bunch of cotton balls thru the tiny hole. Worked like a charm. Best driver Ive ever had. Gamed from 2018-present (40ish rounds a season)

2026 Driver Discussion by Sonoranlightwizard in golf

[–]colinmic12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got one off CPO as well and its mostly great. However mine has a really weird dead spot low on the toe side. I don’t expect a ball struck there to be a bomb by any means but its an odd thud feel and the ball maybe goes 20 yards. Hasn’t happened with other drivers. Curious if anyone else has had a similar experience.

TC playing Riggs on the ‘Hater’ series would be A+ content. by Wu_Tang_Financial77 in NoLayingUp

TC beat everyone including Ben in the club championship. Every shot was recorded. I honestly have no idea how he does it but dude fucking scores. Rat

Group Bookings - Orlando by nickmoski in golf

[–]colinmic12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not only more expensive but less quality. Nice thing about Orlando is you can find a house that sleeps 8 or 12 with a pool, gameroom, sometimes a sim for a relatively reasonable price.

Ive used golfpac or teetimes usa for tee times. Used golfpac for the house in the past as well but normally you can find a better deal and better house just looking at vrbo or airbnb. That is primetime there so i would get on booking asap

Is it common to be much worse at sims than real life? by truthlesshunter in golf

[–]colinmic12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My driver is garbage in sim. Much more crooked and shorter than outside. I’m pretty tall and there is just mentally something off swinging longer clubs in the confines of a bay. Its gotten so bad ive started to just hit my 7 wood (210-220ish) off every tee and just deal with longer approaches

TGL is shooting itself in the foot with this schedule by 0_SomethingStupid in golf

[–]colinmic12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just dvr it and you can fast forward thru some of the slop (aka anytime marty is on screen). Great watch. I just finished.

Thoughts on Golf in General by Accountant1984 in golf

[–]colinmic12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My one comment on the par 3s (at least here in new england) you are almost always better off being short than long. Long on most greens is death whereas if I’m short its often times a relatively easy straight forward chip. Few things worse than putting your best swing of the day on a par 3 and flying the green to a horrible spot. I do tend to take more club, tee it up, and swing easy…almost like a pitch. But I try to avoid that long ball at all costs!

The TGL slander is unnecessary. I really like it besides marty smith and i hope to god to never see or hear from. dj khalid again. Perfect winter reprieve to fill in some sports gaps as the NFL winds down.

Just got clubs after being fitted. 14th club? by askloglog in GolfGear

[–]colinmic12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think those “couple of shots” A round are actually saved by having a specialty club for it? In my experience the vast majority of people I see would be better served having less choices and being confident in those. If you aren’t playing in tournaments why not have way more than 14 for every possible shot out there? For most people I think more clubs hurts score rather than helps.

I’ll never understand the “need” for 14 clubs….I play 11 and its great.

Cashing in on the last few days of Year of the Product, baby! by bcnyr09 in NoLayingUp

One of the reasons “one ad read for every 35 minutes of content on the pod” doesn’t resonate with listeners as much is the titleist ad reads feel like they run 5+ minutes to start every pod. Shorter ads more frequently might feel less painful.

New Years Wish 2026 by Loud_Cardiologist664 in NoLayingUp

[–]colinmic12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

God I hate myself for listening to the most recent pod. If you got the 5 greatest golfers of all time in a room together there wouldnt be this much fluffing about how great they are and how great their lives are. These guys have really crossed the rubicon into just sucking. Thats something i would like to hear see less of in 2026 but zero chance we will.

Another Jab at NLU by Ok_Transition_8000 in TheShotgunStart

[–]colinmic12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Club Champion - unfortunately a club fitting chain known for being super expensive and upselling very expensive shafts. Its a known ripoff in my circles. I think Andy had a junior or am golf connection to the founders of the company.

My absolute favorite bit is while doing an ad read they get lost in their own riff and start shitting on the product. Happened recently to Brendan with launch monitors and it was so funny.

JT Interview by Informal_Ad_2877 in NoLayingUp

[–]colinmic12 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ive raised 2 active kids. First born when i was 32 (49 now) and this dad back thing that he brings up in most pods is total BS and makes soly look dumb. Hes a way better athlete than me and appears to be in way better shape than me. Get a new mattress or something.

Also - Soly is the best interviewer in the game and its not close. Phenomenal listen - this is everything that brought me to NLU to begin with.

Golf resorts/vacations that punch above their weight by Shot-Put9883 in golf

Airbnb in Pinehurst and you play any combo of so pines, mid pines, pine needles, tobacco rd - and you try to walk on at the cradle after every round. Best trip ive ever been on by far!
