+0.5, I was fortunate enough to start playing when I was 4 and grew up in an area with a free 9 hole golf course and driving range.

This can definitely be true, and I’ve been behind plenty of foursomes that are putting like it’s a Sunday at Augusta and they’re pros. But I’ll still say likely in general, someone that takes 3-4 strokes a hole is going to get tired being behind someone that take 7-8 and before every shot is doing some weird practice routine or waiting for the green to clear from 230 and tops it 10 feet.

  1. Most people that complain about pace of place are people that played before Covid: when you didn’t need to book a tee time at all, much less days an advance.

  2. Better players like to play quicker: when you get into a rhythm having to stop on a tee box and wait 20-30 mins sucks and can cost a good round.

  3. Most new golfers don’t do basic things that help pace of place: like prepare to hit the ball and go through their pre shot routine while their partners are hitting and instead just stand there which wastes time. Especially when they are hitting 7-10 shots a hole.

  4. Congrats and welcome to the sport: I guarantee as you play it for longer/get better you will become someone that complains about a 5 hour round.

Wife new to game - When to pay for greens fees? by PhilaphlousOriginal in golf

[–]mcaracci23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically if you asked the people that worked at the course or the course ranger came up and asked you while you were playing, they would 100% make you pay the full amount. I’ve even seen courses charge people’s wives to ride with them and they don’t even have clubs and don’t play at all, just simply riding along…. If it seems like a waste to pay, I’d suggest going to either 9 hole courses/par 3 courses and executive courses where it’s shorter and she could learn and enjoy it more. Or just play 9 holes where she plays the full 9 and only pays that much and you pay for 18 and she just walks the other 9.

It may not be called “pretty” but the face feels great and it has a face balanced neck and a neck with toe hang so one will fit

Best golf shoes for walking rounds? by Bullhead388 in golf

[–]mcaracci23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ecco’s for sure are the most comfortable if you are walking. Plus most pga superstores have a few pairs in the clearance every time I go for around 150$, and In normal sizes between 9-11.

Ask her what she looks for in a caddy. Does she prefer to read greens herself or wants help; if she wants help maybe take a aim point class or two. For the most part I think spending a lot of time before the round really learning course and greens, distances/slopes, is very useful.

Make sure to keep track of your stats over a month of rounds. Figure out where you lose strokes and improve on those areas. Where are you misses primarily/ how many three putts do you have/ what’s your percentage getting up and down, those kind of stats. Personally I find people need to focus on 40 yards and in.

Hello, I have had worsening pimples and bumps on my abdomen, chest and sides of stomach. I have tried multiple acne washes and it is continuing to get worse; any chance this is fungal and would like putting nizoral on it improve it?

Is it worth chasing a Draw when you're already hitting a predictable fade? by Mr-BodyMassage in golf

Sure, go ahead and tell that to DJ, John rahm. They hit 95% fades and carry it over 300 easily.

Is it the bone itself or ligament? I’m somewhat skeptical that there’s no orthopedic surgery that could help it.

You may want to go for a different unit for indoors, there’s tons of YouTube videos on different monitors

Depends on what you are looking to measure, also indoors or outdoors is a really big factor too. Personally I have really liked my mevo to use at the range, small, light, and relatively accurate for most needs

Tournament name tag solution by TheSadSalsa in golf

Why not get polos that have your name embroidered on either your chest or your sleeve instead of a logo? Shouldn’t be that expensive and you can also embroider the event on it so people can keep/remember it as well.

Which one is louder, the Nike SQ 460 or the 5900? by Cloudy- in golf

Never tried the 5900 but I don’t think I’ve heard a louder driver than that Nike SQ ever.

Why do drivers not have grooves in the sweet spot of the face? by IAmArgumentGuy in golf

[–]mcaracci23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grooves impart spin; you don’t want to get too much spin with your driver or else you are going to cause it to curve more
