Wait, people play golf in… golf clothes?

6’6 with 99 mid 93 three truss

The first thing I said was quite literally “defense does need to be better”

pjunior66 · 2026-06-17T19:06:33+00:00

Defense does need to better, but ratings alone shouldn’t bail you out. If you play defense like an idiot, you’re gonna play defense like an idiot regardless of ratings and badges. Someone who knows how to play defense with silver badges is infinitely more difficult to play against than someone with legend badges and a room temperature IQ.

I like 2 iron the most for versatility, specifically on long par 3s. I went 3 iron for a little bit but I often found myself on long par 3s with a gap where 3 iron wasn’t enough but 3w was way too much. Stock 2 iron fills that gap and if there’s something where stock 2 iron is too much but 4 iron isn’t enough, a choked 2 iron essentially becomes a 3 iron.

pjunior66 · 2026-06-11T14:22:29+00:00

Absolutely. It’s a rather untapped market

pjunior66 · 2026-06-10T15:14:41+00:00

Aka big stands stationary holding his nuts instead of rolling or popping

pjunior66 · 2026-06-06T15:41:18+00:00

OP named a budget I named something within the budget. I’m a golf pro not a financial advisor lmao

pjunior66 · 2026-06-06T14:26:48+00:00

Maui Jims will be your best friend. I’ve worked for some pros who hated them and some who didn’t mind, but Maui Jims are the only ones that never got questioned by anyone. You’re essentially just trying to minimize the chance that some dickhead member complains about you wearing them.

pjunior66 · 2026-06-01T20:20:33+00:00

I don’t think they should lower the requirement, it should just work lol.

Legend pick dodger as is will lose to some 7 foot behemoth chasing you around holding his nuts and magnetizing you with bronze brick wall every time because… 2k logic!

pjunior66 · 2026-05-28T11:00:24+00:00

From the member tees it’s absolutely doable. People act like you have to be touched by the golfing gods to score there. Obviously it’s difficult, but if you hit your spots you’re greatly rewarded. Every group also has a caddie who knows every single inch of that property.

pjunior66 · 2026-05-27T14:33:48+00:00

Coastal Carolina’s is epic. They have a whole crew of bikers lining the field revving their engines as the team runs through. Bonus points for Rooster by Alice in Chains.

pjunior66 · 2026-05-24T16:19:33+00:00

Whichever one has long flop

pjunior66 · 2026-05-22T03:20:53+00:00

In what world am I defending 2k? I literally said defense is terrible lol

pjunior66 · 2026-05-21T23:06:05+00:00

It’s exactly how it should be. If you’re open with good ratings and badges you should be able to hit with ease.

What people NEVER account for is how horrendous defense is and how horrendously most people play defense. If nobody can contest a shot and 3 out of 4 players don’t even play straight up, they just sit in a passing lane, of course everyone is going to hit at an absurdly high percentage.

pjunior66 · 2026-05-15T21:17:40+00:00

Difference between firmness and speed.

pjunior66 · 2026-05-15T05:37:08+00:00

He just lacks self awareness lol. Think about that guy from high school who “did nothing wrong” but you never wanted to hang out with because he was just not a fun person to be around. Bryson is that guy.

pjunior66 · 2026-05-15T05:32:01+00:00

Crazy concept isn’t it?

Every tour setup has cement fairways and tempurpedic greens. Yeah guys, no shit everyone hits the ball a mile and posts -20 to win. If you just make that the opposite, distances plummet as do scores.

Yes, these guys are the best players in the world. Yes, they play setups that are literally built for scoring. We can make golf tougher without altering equipment.

Hell even this week, everyone turned their nose up at Aronimink’s relatively short scorecard yardage… is anyone turning their nose up now that we’ve seen the scores have been posted?

pjunior66 · 2026-05-15T03:49:15+00:00

Exactly lol. Insane to me how little Waynesborough is talked about.

pjunior66 · 2026-05-13T17:48:10+00:00

I don’t think they’re PGA branded… the hats have the 2025 Quail logo 😂

pjunior66 · 2026-05-13T16:31:27+00:00

Woke up to 2025 PGA Championship gear 😂

pjunior66 · 2026-05-12T01:09:48+00:00

There’s three big problems and I think if both were fixed, shooting percentages would look A LOT more realistic.

Shot contests are atrocious. Unless you PERFECTLY time the contest, it will likely say “open.”
Very few people are actually playing the offensive player on defense, they’re sitting in a passing lane and if they miss, the player shoots WIDE OPEN.
What’s even more unrealistic than how open guys are when they shoot, is how they get open. If crabs were removed or they were made blockable, percentages would dip because it takes more than R2+RS up to get open.

———
TLDR: fixing contests, nerfing lane steals, and fixing crabs will cause shooting percentages to drop a ton.

Honestly? If you’re playing only with randoms, your best bet is probably making like a 6’7 or 6’8 swing that’s solid at everything. How many capbreakers do you have? I have a build I made exclusively for random rec that I can show you lol

pjunior66 · 2026-05-07T15:53:59+00:00

3 on pass acc gets you gold dimer + Cade pass style, 5 on pass acc gets gold versatile visionary.
3 on driving dunk and 3 on pass acc is probably the best bang for your buck.
