    Are you "De-Hatting" after a round?

    Yep. Ball goes in pocket. Take my hat off with left hand. Putter gets tucked into left arm and I shake. Make good eye contact. Compliment the round together. Sometimes a quick kiss on the mouth. Jk. But I’ve always done it. Just habit at this point. I’d never be offended if someone didn’t take...

    How Long to Re-Learn to Golf - Billy Wagner Style?

    I would have thought people who are naturally left-handed but picked up golf right-handed (and other things by sheer lack of availability of left-handed tools) would have felt confident they could switch it up, but it sounds like there are a few folks who don't believe they could. That's...

    ANNOUNCEMENT Looking For Testers – Odyssey S2S Tri-Hot Putters

    Really excited about this after seeing Hawk's initial post. I currently use an Odyssey Square to Square Jailbird (with some modifications) I really like the Jailbird and would probably stick with that. But would also consider the Rossie (now or in the future). I am, of course, intrigued by an...

    ANNOUNCEMENT Official THP NFL Survivor Pool 2025

    I was this close 🤏 to picking the Rams based on the 49ers injuries. I didn’t watch the game but was shocked to see the result. I’ll at least make it to Sunday.

    Who's Ubered (ride share) with golf clubs locally?

    I think you’ll be ok. I’ve done it quite a bit when I’ve been traveling, but also done it locally for scrambles and similar events when I know the drinks are likely to take a priority over the links.

    CONTEST 2025 Ryder Cup Official Thread and Contest Sponsored by Johnnie-O

    I don't feel great about it, but I'm rooting for Team USA, so I will say Team USA wins it. And I like this number:

    Callaway Opus SP Wedges

    I am going to ask a dumb question, but I think this is a safe space. I am going to buy a 48 degree wedge. I would like it to be 49 degrees for gapping purposes. I should order it 1 degree weak, correct? 1 degree weak is 49. 1 degree strong is 47. There isn't some logical reason it's the...

    Taco Bell: Yay or Nay?

    It's a no for me. There are far too many better taco and Tex-Mex options around me to ever willingly choose Taco Bell. That wasn't the case for me 20 years ago, so I ate it more often. But it was still never amazing to me. I don't have any real nostalgia for it. But I get the appeal for others...

    IOS 26 liquid Glass update

    I also like the CarPlay update. It better utilities the space on my screen, and seems to have some nice new options. Overall, I think I like the direction. It'll be interesting how other app designers adopt the design system. Right now, it's pretty obvious that all the Apple apps have spent...

    IOS 26 liquid Glass update

    Do you mean in the Phone app? You can change that back to the classic view as well. I know there’s a push to get me to go with these more compact views, but I’m fine with the old view. And I like the glass part of the dock on these apps being more transparent. So I think it’s a nice upgrade on...

    IOS 26 liquid Glass update

    You can go into Safari settings and change it back to the old tabs view (Bottom). I’ve already done it. I may give Compact a try again but not ready for it yet.

    Zero Torque Putters - Are you a believer?

    @Desmond I owe you a beer. I moved the ball up towards my front foot, and I think that solved a lot of problems. I still don’t understand why I should do that, but that’s ok. Also thought about releasing my left shoulder on the way through. Best putting day I’ve had in a long time.

    Would you buy these?

    Not without a hoverboard I wouldn't

    Zero Torque Putters - Are you a believer?

    Thanks for the recommendations! For 2 - do you mean back foot or front foot?

    Practice green pre-round I need the flat spot

    So topical - I just went out to putt at the closest local putting green this morning and was really miffed with my options to practice flat 5-10 foot putts. It feels like all of the holes are on a fairly severe slope. Even the putt I found that seemed fairly flat broke two ways (or I'm a bad...

    Zero Torque Putters - Are you a believer?

    I've found it interesting that there are tons of YouTube videos talking about ZT putters - the technology, comparisons, etc. But no one is really focusing on mechanics. I was just curious if there were any drills or things to focus on for consistency in a putting stroke with a ZT putter, but I...

    CELEBRATION Congrats: You are headed to the Grandaddy

    Congrats @LeftyGolferWI - if it wasn’t the Powerball on Saturday this feels like a close second!

    Wedge Shafts: What is Your Favorite?

    I have never gotten anything non-stock for wedge shafts. I'm about to buy a 48 degree wedge to fill a gap that now exists with my stronger lofted PW. I am considering getting the Nippon Pro Modus 105 wedge shaft as those are shafts in my irons.

    Flag in or out?

    Out if I'm anywhere that I consider the putt to be makeable, and I can see the hole. Really only leave it in out of laziness.
