    Playing in bifocals/progressives

    I have always played wearing bifocals. I don't know any other way. Actually is wasn't that bad. I have lined bifocals, which means there is actually another lense persay, with a flat line where it starts. I had been wearing these for about 8 years when I started playing golf, so I was used to...

    Picking an ailment aid for the new season, or do ailment lines on balls really help?

    Sorry, but that really doesn't interest me. I have played like this since 2000, before Lab was a thing! I feel pretty good about what I have. I don't play enough each season to worry about it..

    Picking an ailment aid for the new season, or do ailment lines on balls really help?

    I'm not familiar with the online lab, and I just did this after watching Phil Mickelson over his putter. I about 5'8" tall, but have slightly shorter legs, so my body is taller, putting me at a disadvantage with a 33" putter. Cutting off 4" put me in a very comfortable lean over the putter, eyes...

    It's not me, it's you - Damaged golf club causing performance issues?

    I had a Cally Diablo Octane driver, which was a good driver for me, and after a few years, I was teeing up, and I felt a vibration every time I hit a ball. Could not figure out why! Was out in the yard with my hitting net, and I started looking at the driver head, and also the shaft near the...

    Picking an ailment aid for the new season, or do ailment lines on balls really help?

    When I started playing, I pushed everything right. Why? Because I was standing to upright when putting! I did not have my eyes over the ball. Not hunched over, but enough for my head to be over the ball. At first I practiced choking down on the club, and I much more accurate, and quit sending...

    Picking an ailment aid for the new season, or do ailment lines on balls really help?

    I pick the first thing I see when I look at the green, pick my spot, and go with it! Just have to get the speed right, and even if I miss, it is usually not by much, as my current putter makes it hard to miss. I do use an alignment line, but I don't get too finicky with it. I put it in the...

    The 60 and over Thread

    That is what I have. A 58° lob wedge. Cleveland CBX2's in my bag in 50°, and 54°, along with the 58°.. I also have a 46° Zipcore too...

    The 60 and over Thread

    I have come to that realization! CB wedges are not for those shots where you really need to open the face. So, I have had to relearn how to use my CB wedges with those type of shots.. I just keep the face fairly square, and just try to get under the ball as much as possible, especially with a...

    Tour Event 2026 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

    What a bunch of cry babies!! Hit the damn ball already!!! Of course its going to move, with 30 mph gusts!! The longer you stand and look, the more it's going to move!! Get up there and hit it! I think that's what the official told Bhatia!! And what about hitting it so it stays down on the aproach...

    Do You Pay Attention to Grip Weight and Core Size?

    I really don't look at grip weight, but I do look at core size. For me, since I play Lamkin Crosslines, in midsize, and jumbos on my current set, as long as the cores are .580-.600, I feel comfortable installing them. Back in the day, I played all standard Golf Pride Tour Velvets, and had to...

    Range Session with Nickent Irons & GEL Putters

    Nickent must have been a contender back in the day. I never gave them much thought, other than a driver of theirs I picked up for $20..

    Not your brand

    I do pass on Titleist, moreless as a rule for myself. IDK, but I just don't feel any connection at all with this brand, as far as clubs go. It's like if I was to walk into a Cadillac dealership-just not going to happen! I will play a couple of their lower priced golf balls, but that's about it...

    Why don’t retailers sell Head-only?

    A person would think that there would be some sizeable market for this, considering that you have the adjustable hosels, and can remove the shaft if you want to change. The only issue with this is that I think the "adjustable hosel" as we know it, should become a universal fit type of thing, so...

    Do you use your feet to read greens?

    No! I have not tried it, nor do I want to! I do just fine green reading with my eyes! And, I did not know that AP was a thing 20 years ago!! You gotta love it when you have a 4-some on the green in front of you, you are waiting in the fairway, and all 4 of them do some kind of AP when it is...

    Do you use your feet to read greens?

    I will tell you that I would be quicker to accept the antics of Camilio Villegas and his green reading than, than deal with Aimpoint!! At least he is not walking on the green near others lines!

    Official Equipment Pondering Thread

    Still never what the club is actually worth from your end of the bargain! You spend $500 new, and in 2 years, they want to give you $100 and act like they are doing you a favor! If your club is in good shape, than it should count for more! They'll clean it up and put it on the floor for $350...

    Do you use your feet to read greens?

    I think this should rank right up there with anchoring!! Should be banned! 'Nuff said...
