    Nets & Divot Mats

    How easy is it to put up and take down? Where I live, I'll need to take it down most of the time after use.... Thanks!

    Favorite wide brimmed hat for hot weather?

    The Mission cooling hats aren't bad, but the brims aren't strong so they get a bit floppy. The Titleist boonie style have strong brims and lots of coverage. They are about fifty bucks new, so not cheap, but they last a good while.

    What shoes are you gaming this year?

    I can't remember ever paying full price for golf shoes... I always find something on sale..... most shoes are solid. I've had good luck with Puma and Adidas in the past. I just wait to buy a previous years model and save some dough.

    Mizuno Stz220 driver

    After reading up on it, I might look to trade into one in a year or so... I like the sound of the changes they've made.

    Mizuno Stz220 driver

    I have the 2021 STZ and it is an excellent driver.... I'd love to hit the 220 and see if there is much difference. I've heard the sound is better as the STZ is a bit pingy sounding... but that doesn't really bother me. Good news is there are bargains to be had on Mizuno drivers if you look...

    Do you play anything “off brand”?

    Nothing truly off brand, but I have no problem using things that aren't one of the hot or big brands... lots of good stuff out there that works. I have a really nice Tour Edge approach wedge... Rife Putter that is several years old.... Precept 21 degree hybrid..... Adams golf stand bag.

    Cleveland Golf Huntington Beach SOFT and SOFT Premier Putters

    I just got a really nice deal on a used #6 at the Golf Galaxy nearest me..... great feeling putter. I don't love the blue grip... it is a midsize, but I'd prefer something a bit bigger and a bit less slick so I'll be changing that soon. I really want one of the Premium Soft 10.5's though...

    Saint Arnolds Homefront IPA..

    Saint Arnold is a great craft brewery in Houston, Texas. They have really grown and you can find them all over the state now. I picked up two yesterday. Once they are out.. it's gone.. great way to help celebrate Memorial Day for beer lovers. They also had some maple louisville sluggers in...

    How good are indoor simulators/swing analyzers?

    It seems the tech keeps changing quickly and I've only taken outdoor lessons in the past. I'll be taking lessons soon and was just wondering how everyone feels about taking all or most of their lessons indoors where you can't see the full ball flight. I'm not against it at all.... Just want...

    FS: Wilson Staff Robert Mendralla SW 56degree

    $30! This is in really nice shape. I bought it as new old stock a few years ago and have barely used it. Has a Wilson Fat shaft 450. It doesn't say the flex, but feels like a stiff. 56 degree. I can't find any specs on the bounce. There are some tiny rust spots on the shaft near the...
