If it's a one-off suggestion or "tip" I listen politely then ignore it. If it is repeated or continues, I say thank you but I have my own things I'm working on. If someone were to persist after that I guess I'd ask them to just leave me alone but it's never come to that.

Can't imagine anyone laughing at that choice. Solid performer. And as you point out, catch them in multiple dozens on sale and it's a hard to beat price.

My first four rounds last week, I managed to lose 5 of my good golf balls (current version Pro V1x). On my home course you have to be REALLY hitting it bad to lose balls and I was hitting it really bad. It was starting to get pretty mental so I decided to play some balls I didn't mind losing for...

To me, for the pitifully slow speeds I swing, the Tour B X and Pro V1x are just about completely interchangeable. I really have a hard time seeing or hearing any difference between them except for the Pro V1x seems to fly just a teeny bit higher off my driver. They even sound the same when...

The same way some places a 1 BR/700 square foot condo in a high-rise costs more than a 2,500 square foot house on an acre of land in others.

Yesterday my 61st stroke was a 9i approach on my 13th hole, which I duffed horribly. The previous day my 61st stroke was a chip shot from just short of that same 13th green, after hitting a fat 8i approach (my 60th stroke that day). And who says hackers aren't consistent? Same stuff...

My first pair of prescription 'shades were too dark. They had to come off and use my normal glasses on really dark, overcast days or as soon as the sun dipped behind the tree line. And forget wearing them indoors even briefly, I literally had to pull them off to step into the clubhouse and order...

When I first started wearing sunglasses to play golf, along about 2009 or so, after a few rounds I noticed how much less tired my "squint muscles" were after a round. And before sunglasses, not every time, but fairly often I would have a little bit of a headache after a round in the summer. I'd...

My prescription progressive sunglasses have golf-specific geometry to the transitions between distance/middle/reading powers so they work much better for golf than my regular (non-tinted) progressives. Therefore I wear the sunglasses virtually every time I play golf. They have a tint this not...

They don't make courses short and tight enough for me to get by without a driver. Or if they do, I sure wouldn't want to play one.

The type of courses I prefer, it is totally obvious where the next hole is. Ideally within 30-50 yards of the previous screen is the next tee. Courses where you need a sign to tell you where to go are usually either built winding around through housing developments for the convenience of the...

My testing of golf clubs always centers around three questions. Can I consistently hit 200 yard drives and keep them between the tree lines? How well can I stop a 150-yard shot to a firm green? How confident can I be when trying to a 100-yard shot close to the hole. Nothing to do with...

James Harden. He has become a parody of himself because the refs let him manufacture "contact" instead of just playing basketball (which he's actually extremely good at).

Peak height, spin and descent depend very strongly on speed. Clubhead speed. Which in turn means peak height, spin and descent vary per person. There's no substitute for clubhead speed. Everything about golf club and ball design fiddles about at the margins but speed is created by the golfer...

None at all. A few years back I would occasionally skim through videos from the popular YouTube golf "personalities" but the inanity of 99% of that content quickly put an end to that particular entertainment habit. Over the past 4-5 years I doubt I've watched even 20 hours of golf "content"...

As fun as it is to speculate here, the fact is it's extremely impractical to get any sort of sensible estimate of "how consistent" mass produced golf balls are. People like MGS can flag the "obviously inconsistent" situations like they did with Callaway a few years back or what they find from...

I know and speak to all my neighbors by name and also know the names of the kids. But I don’t get invited to the kids wedding. That places me just about where I want to be in the relationship spectrum. Put another way I might help them move, but I would not help them move a body.

About 8 out of 10 THP’ers.

I thought the "scan" technique was universal for all rangefinders, at least the golf style ones that prioritize and lock onto the closest target. I've done that with all my Bushnell and Nikon rangefinders over the years.

I reckon if you let the clubhead pass your hands and add loft with an upward flip, you can easily catch it very low on the face so you’re getting a uppercut, high spin upshooter.
