Assuming travel restrictions are lifted for 2021, anybody interested in some unofficial THP get togethers? Suggestions?

I have to have onions on a lot of things. Big round, slabs on my hamburger. Cooked and raw onions in my chili. Gotta have onions on a sausage, hot dog or brat. Onions go great with potatoes. Do you love onions or hate them?

I was fitted for a driver several years ago, a Callaway X460 Tour model, with an Aldila NV 65 R shaft and an oversize, Lamkin Crossline grip. The total weight of the club is 346 grams. Apparently, the oversize grip added 26 grams to the weight of the club. I don’t know what the swing weight of...

Do you have a lot of boxes of new, unused golf balls sitting around? Like a big stock of your regular balls, ones you don’t play anymore, or gifts that aren’t what you play, or freebies? I’m not a big buyer of golf balls and I don’t stock up but I still have almost 5 dozen balls in a closet...

At events like the Morgan Cup and other THP experiences, is a participant required to be part of the competition? I love playing golf, playing on nice courses and having social outings but being in tournaments or competitions in team events isn’t something I enjoy at all. It has nothing to do...

I’m a senior who has been away from the game for a long time. Computer tracking, and being able to test and get fitted with dozens of shafts and heads is all new to me. After having less than great experiences at big box stores with their free fittings, I decided to pay up and get a professional...

Figuring out which ball suits you best can be difficult. I've never been able to tell for sure if results I get on the course are because of me or the ball. Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I found this very informative.

This is directed at those who are not members at a club where you pay dues or purchase an annual membership. I’m a senior and have been enjoying the discounted rates, but I still have a limit on how much I’ll pay to play. I have been playing most of my rounds at courses in Northwest Indiana...

In the never ending journey to become a better golfer, I’m always trying to improve. For example, I’d like to get my chips closer to the hole. I’m not a terrible chipper, but I’d like to be better. I saw a short game video by Phil Mickelson, obviously one of the best short game players ever. I...

In my bag, it’s my 60* wedge. Before a month ago, my highest lofted club was. 55* sand wedge but my usual chipping club was a 50* approach wedge. I bought a Vokey SM7 and have been trying unsuccessfully to get it to work as intended. Most of my short game practice has been devoted to figuring it...

I don’t see swing weights brought up a lot during fitting discussions. Was it part of your club fitting? I was recently fitted for new irons and the subject never came up. After doing some research, I learned a bit more about how finding the right swing weight for you can help your shot making...

You know what I mean. You come up to a par 3 that is all carry over water. You keep the Pro V1 in your pocket and tee up the Top Flite you found the other day. Or on a hole with deep woods lining the right side of the fairway and you don’t want to risk losing that $4 ball, so you play an old...

So I started golfing again after many years away. I’m 65 with a bad back. I wasn’t sure if I’d even be able to play at all. With that in mind, I didn’t want to spend a lot on clubs only to find I couldn’t use them. I bought a nice set of Nike Slingshot 4d irons with senior flex, graphite shafts...

Mine is a Ping Anser putter purchased back in the late summer of 1972 when I was 17. Still using it. Just replaced the grip for the first time.

Probably most of you are like me if you frequent this site, but I spend time at the range when things aren’t right (like yesterday) to fix whatever is currently broken. If I had a friend who could help, I’d be asking them too. Just though I’d ask.

The thing I find I like the best is hitting my irons. I could never hit a 2 or 3 iron, but I‘m pretty good and straight with the rest of them. My favorite thing is hitting an iron into a green and seeing how close I can get to the pin. Chipping is ok. Putting, I don’t care about. To me, it’s an...

Without taking additional lessons, how much did your game improve when you got your new clubs? Did you start hitting the ball better right away, or did you have to get used to them first? I’ve never really had a complete fitting so I assume, that the new clubs should have been easy to hit right...

I’m beginning my search for a GPS or a rangefinder. At this point, I’m leaning toward a handheld, used, GolfBuddy Platinum GPS, which can be had for only $60. I like the idea of the color screen with the layout of the hole. The new units I’ve seen mostly have a small B/W screen with just the...

I’ve noticed a lot of comments in different posts about how much somebody likes the look of this club or that. Did looks influence your decision to buy your current clubs? I consider clubs to be just tools for getting the job done and place little value on the aesthetics. Now when a new...
