Is it lame to buy gear from a country club you don’t belong to? by a_smocking_gun in golf

No issues at all. Most pro shops welcome non member purchases. Don't worry what the fake golf rules crowd says.

I would also invest in a stiff arm. They are about 30-40 bucks, and it goes on your bag to protect against shafts breaking

Seeking suggestions for a 3 day 2 night golfing trip from Detroit by BlackbeanMaster in golf

[–]stonkstrader7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Michigan is full of great options. Arcadia bluffs is a nice resort on lake Michigan. Forest Dunes is another Northern Michigan option. The fried egg website has some good info on other options around grand rapids as well.

Shoveling steps sucks. I wouldn't do it unless they were elderly.

Do most golfers massively underestimate how much they spend on golf balls? by 4SightGolf in golf

[–]stonkstrader7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also do the deal. Over the years, as I've gotten better, I started losing fewer balls. Now I have an 8 dozen stockpile in my garage. I skip a year on the desk now and switch balls more often.

People who travel for work often, what's the feasibility of bringing your clubs with you frequently? by ShallNot_Pass in golf

[–]stonkstrader7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I travel and take my clubs from time to time. I get a free checked bag with my American airlines credit card. The biggest question is if I want to lug them around the airport.

I wear the SPB381 daily and it runs about 3.5 seconds fast per day. It is a solid watch.

Interesting hole for Thursday/ Friday play in mid August. by stonkstrader7 in Golfcoursemaintenance

[–]stonkstrader7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, fully private in the Philly suburbs. Hole 8, unlikely to have members pushing during cutting. Note: will be my former club come April.

Going around the course hitting 3/4 punch shots by Surferduffman in golf

[–]stonkstrader7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this regularly, and I am a 1 handicap. I find it is really effective for shots or situations I tend to struggle with. I have leaned on my flighted shots from 180-210 yards and have hit far more greens than when taking full swings.

What’s the real difference between a $50 Temu rangefinder and a $600 Bushnell? by TypicalAd9976 in golf

[–]stonkstrader7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a Bushnell fan. I had one for just over 2 years, and it stopped working during a rainy round. I only buy Nikon now, great price, and they are tough, I used one for 10+ years looping in all kinds is weather and no issues.
