Refusing to take your hat off is a weird hill to die on. Having said that, the rule is going to be off-putting to many people, including myself. It’s not that taking a hat off is a big deal, it’s that I don’t really want to be around the type of person who adheres to these antiquated ideas of...

Don’t see a reason to carry a mini-driver unless: 1. You hit it well off the deck OR 2. You have the driver yips Off the deck, I hit a normal 3w much better than a mini-driver. If I‘m only going to hit it off the tee, I’d much rather have a 43” high lofted driver.

Dress codes accomplish nothing in terms of improving etiquette. YouTube golf is great for the sport overall. ”Tradition” is never a good argument. Golf has too many boring old men running the show.

No, I don't play on the devil's grass.

Classic manufacturer making a strong resurgence. Although known mostly for wedges, I've been more impressed by what they've been doing lately with their irons, woods, and drivers - great clubs at a much cheaper price point than most manufacturers. Last year, my brother replaced his TaylorMade...

This just makes me want to buy a groove sharpener. No way in hell I’m ever replacing wedges that often.

tl;dr: plus 3 is a good estimate of the average LPGA player. The two players in the video are probably closer to plus 4. Decided to try and calculate handicaps for Asleigh Buhai and Paula Reto. Coincidentally, they are both South African, but they were instead chosen because they averaged 0.00...

lol. What's your handicap?

I'll defend the YouTubers and say one of the biggest lies of YouTube golf is that you could beat them. Obviously, you could find some YouTuber you're better than, but it's ridiculous how much hate they get in the comments (or on discussion boards) about how much they suck. I always chuckle at...

Irons. Wedges, more specifically. Hopefully, I can hit a green from 100 yards this year. Hit an absolutely pathetic 39% of greens from 100-125 last year.

I don't see blue at setup, so red.

Coldcuts makes up for it by never taking a divot on the actual shot.

Depends on how poor of a fit your current clubs are. If you're playing clubs from post-2010 and have a half-decent fit, I think you would be lucky to get more than a 1 stroke improvement from new equipment.

I buy second-hand clubs and used balls so I can spend more of my golf budget on green fees.

The worst are the tree-lined courses with rose bushes in the undergrowth that have no hazard markings, effectively making them OB.

1a. I'd only have one type of hazard - lateral (red) makes the most sense. 1b. If 1a isn't gonna happen, the local rule for lost ball / OB should just be a straight up regular rule of golf.

Guarantee it wouldn't be if your rule were implemented. Manufacturers would start making 3-degree hybrids.

I'll also say that it's really easy to design a course where the Texas wedge cannot be used. If you want to test people's chipping skills, just surround the green with rough and/or bunkers.

But what is a putter? Where is the line drawn between putter and short, low-lofted fw wood / hybrid. What's the ruling on chippers?

Even if we ignore the question of why this rule is needed, what constitutes a putt? I'm presuming you'd be fine with making a putting stroke with a fairway wood from off the green. If I have a 34-inch fairway wood with very little loft, is that a fairway wood or a putter? Seems like it would be...
