    Teaching a new golfer, gold instruction vacations

    One of my best friends yesterday told me he wants to commit to learning golf. After some back and forth, we both thought immersion learning would be his best bet. He is a strong guy, tall, and fairly athletic. I don’t want to have anything to do with teaching him since I am a 16 handicap and...

    Bandon Trip suggestions.

    Bandon is booked. 5 rounds, caddies, 2 rooms. Questions: 1) resort stay or beach house? Beach house is much cheaper, is the resort worth the extra money? 2) is bandon preserve worth playing, or okay to skip? 3) any golf out there that’s not on the resort?

    Ogilvy on the women’s game.

    So I thought about what he said, and figured he may be on to something. Logistically could a tournament be conducted at the same time for men’s and women’s US Opens? Obv they’d have mens and women’s tees, but could it be done... could Sunday at the US Open have a final foursome of the two...

    Sleeves for sleeveless temperatures

    I like wearing sleeves when I golf. Problem is when it’s 80 degrees, I am not sure what to wear. I always wear slacks. When we’re in the 60s I can wear a mock turtleneck or Underarmor and a polo. when it’s hot, I want sleeves to protect me from the sun, but everything is way too hot on the...

    PXG vs Club Champion vs Other fitting

    My exotic driver shaft broke in transit. I’m getting a check. I also have a free driver fitting at club champion. I need a new driver. Options: 1) use existing titelist 913d2 driver head on a new shaft. This is most cost effective but I don’t know how old the tech on the 913 is. Is it time...

    Bought a Garmin G8 GPS a few months ago. Have no issues with it. Battery is great (3 rounds between charges). All in all a great unit. Don’t need it because of the ping sensor promo. $200 shipped to the lower 48. I don’t have the box anymore but you get the belt clip, charging stuff and unit.

    What to do after a lesson...?

    I’m a completely self taught 16 handicap... For the first time, I took an awesome lesson with an instructor who is considered to be the cat’s pajamas. I intend on continuing with him on a regular basis. He said my swing fundamentally needs to be changed if I want to more consistently have...

    Do shoes matter? If so how much?

    I have an old pair of spikeless? Nikes. You can’t change out the spikes. They are “permanent” to the shoes. Shoes are comfortable. I feel my feet slip on drives (I also have a terrible swing so who knows what the cause is). I’ve seen guys okay well in tennis shoes, so I’m wondering how much...

    Handicap Questions

    My question is about the “home and away” for inputting scores. I signed up for a NCGA e-club to get a discount on some golf out in Cali. I use that even though I live in NJ. I use home if I’ve played the course enough to know it. Regardless of distance from my actual home. I use away when...

    Help finding a bag

    Hi all. I recently upgraded every club in my bag, and got a custom head cover. I should be happy. But I am only 99% happy. Sadly, I hate my bag. I have two bags. My stand bag is great, just ugly. The straps are in a spot where it’s basically all you see. My cart bag is lovely but it has no legs...
