    Getting to St Andrews; In Edinburg

    We’re in Edinburg. Possibly stuck. Is anyone else here and how are you getting out to the course? Rail strikes and train shutdowns seem to be the big concern. We’ve been told to not take the train to Leuchars. Busses are possible but we’re hearing of gridlocked roads out there. Wondering if...

    Top Golf Office Outing, Help!

    My supervisor wants to organize an office social outing at Top Golf. Knowing I'm the only golfer in the office he came to me to ask to organize something. The problem is... I've never been to a Top Golf. I have an idea on what it's all about, but I don't really know. I'm imagining something...

    Marshal Told Us to Speed Up

    No one behind our foursome, but we lost pace with the foursome in front of us. We were starting #8 at about 1:40 and on pace to finish #9 at 2:10 when the marshal came by and asked us to play faster. We were also cart-path only and doing our best to abide by that. No one was upset, but we were a...

    TaylorMade M5 Warranty Claim Question

    My TM M5 driver (1st Gen) started developing the typical carbon fiber crack on the bottom of the club. It’s on the bit that overhangs the weight track and is common to the first few M5s that were produced. It’s 1 yr 10 months old, and the warranty is 2 years. I found my receipt too! I’ve...

    Check Your Setup: Overlay Photos

    Hey guys, well recently I’ve been really working on my stance and setup position. I tend to get my hands a little far out (away from my belt buckle) and I wanted to check it. Now, I’m no Tiger or Rory, but I found some good articles and photos online and decided to replicate those shots for me...

    Vegas Golf Poker Chip Game

    Anyone play this fun game with their regular foursome? How do you handle payouts? While I would never condone gambling on the course,;) I’m struggling with how to determine points and who buys the round at the 19th. Recently, for simplicity, we just tally up chips and whoever has the most...

    Club Champion Iron Fitting Cost?

    Ballpark out the door? I recently did a wedge fitting at CC, and purchased 3 custom wedges, pured and all the trimmings. So worth it, and I’m now thinking of going in for irons. What should I budget?

    How do You Decide? New Irons

    How do YOU decide it’s time for new irons? Mine are 3 yrs old (Played / Practiced monthly, no Seasons off, desert golf) and looking pretty worn on the faces. Grooves are pretty dull. But they play great still. Starting to contemplate new irons.

    Do You Carry 1 Opposite Club?

    Do you carry one club that is opposite your normal handedness? For instance you normally play right handed clubs, but you carry one left handed club... just in case. If so, what club is it?

    Do you Fit/Bend Your Wedges?

    Lie angle is always off a couple degrees for me on every wedge I try. Wondering if that’s typical? Second question: can you order wedges custom to your lie angles, or do most folks order ‘stock’ wedges and then have them bent?

    Friend w/ Anger Management Issues

    A really good friend of mine has serious anger management issues on the course. Yesterday, as his otherwise two-over round unraveled to 10 over, the profanity, yelling, and club smashing got pretty bad. He hit a provisional on 18 and that one also went grossly OB too. My friend screams “F#&K” so...

    Do you Walk and Carry?

    Yesterday I walked and carried my clubs for 9 holes. First time doing that since High School (which was 30 yrs ago!) 1+35 min as well. I can say I enjoyed it, and I’m fairly fit. But my back was pretty tired by the end and I was sweating like a pig (it was 85*). I also found that after I set...

    Are Game Improvement Irons Hurting My Game?

    I’m currently gaming a set of cavity-back Ping G25s. I love them and I’ve got my distances dialed in. However I’ve noticed I don’t hit them as far as my friends, but maybe that’s due to lofts? I feel like my accuracy is poor too. I still struggle with decent GIR, despite being a 9-10 hc. Are...

    Provisional Ball: Stroke Question

    Put a drive into no-mans-land today. Announced and hit a provisional. Center of fairway. Got up to where first shot landed, and sure enough... it was lost in heavy bushes. I know the rule states it’s a “penalty of a stroke and distance,” for an in-bounds lost ball... thus the provisional shot...
