We recently played in a scramble and our team managed to eagle a long par 4. This happened to occur on the ‘closest to the pin in 2’ hole. My question is: Where do you put the signed stake/placard when you hole-out in the parameters of the challenge? We signed our name and wrote in bold “IN THE...

Short story long: Our washing machine died two days ago and the clothes & frustration are piling up. Between the service call and possible costs of replacing parts, I don't think it is worth it to throw $100s at a 10+ y.o. machine in hopes to get it limping along for a few more years. (opinions...

Anyone have a Never Compromise Gambler Flush or Connoisseur Robusto collecting dust? (Right-Handed) I'd like to add one of these to my meager collection but am hoping for something that hasn't had the snot beaten out of it. In a perfect world I'd love a 33", but depending on condition and...

I got into a bit of a 'debate' with a buddy about this the other night. I tend to tip about 20% of the final bill (+/- based on service and other conditions). He usually tips anywhere from $2 - $6 (+/- based on service and other conditions). My argument: The driver is in a service/waiting...

Does anyone here have any good or bad experiences with small diesel SUVs? We are in need of a tow vehicle, but don't want to add a third car to our stable, nor do we want to add a lumbering gas-hog, as we will be using it as a daily driver. We've heard good things about some of the new turbo...

I am looking to have a few customer putter covers designed/made and am looking for recommendations. I've found several places online that do it, but I was hoping someone here could make a personal recommendation. Thanks!

Until I found this site, I never even thought about shaft-selection when purchasing a new club. Now that I've been around a bit, I have started to pay attention to what I like. I still know very little about shaft design & characteristics, but I'm trying to learn! With that said, I am wondering...

I don't often wear golf pants, but when I do... ...I look like I'm running late for a meeting when I'm on the 13th tee. Can anyone recommend a brand/model of golf pants that looks a little sportier? I'd still like them to look nice, but would prefer to avoid yet another pair of "slacks".

I didn't want to threadjack another thread, so I thought I would ask this here. I currently use a 10+ year old Cleveland low-bounce wedge. It is, by far, the most comfortable & familiar club in my bag aside from my putter. Unfortunately, the grooves are non-existent and the grip is original (I...

I'm wondering what people use for sunscreen when they golf? I try to stay diligent about applying sunscreen, but so many products seem to just make me sweat more, and make me uncomfortable on the course. When I start feeling uncomfortable, I'm less inclined to apply sunscreen. A majority of...

Does anyone use The Grint for establishing/monitoring your handicap? I was just going to sign up for oobgolf, or something similar until I came across this. It looks like I can get an official handicap without belonging to a club? Does this seem legit/fishy to anyone? Here is the website...

For those of you out there with a love for your lawns, I'm wondering what your stance is on bagging grass clippings when you mow. I stumbled into a great deal for a pump-assisted bagger for my zero turn, but have never had one before and was looking for pros, cons, and your overall...

Hello all, I've been eyeing up the Oakley G30 lenses for quite some time (stalked a lot of the threads on THP) but was reluctant to pull the trigger because they seemed very golf-specific and didn't seem like they would work very well for other endeavors. Recently, I learned that the G30 can now...

Do you think one of these would be more gentle/forgiving for a high-handicapper trying to correct a slice? My current driver is 7 years old, and rarely comes out of my bag during the round. To be fair, I can't really blame it on the club. I have a wicked slice, and am so scared of my driver...

Hello all! I'm a newbie from Wisconsin, and thought I'd say hi. I've stumbled across this website several times when searching for golf-product reviews, and can't seem to leave - so I thought I might as well register and say hi. Up until recently, I haven't golfed much (8-12 times a season), but...
