One month until a golf trip to Pinehurst. Help me figure out what I’m missing (aside from the obvious stuff like golf clubs and balls).
Speaker for music
Rain gear (just in case)
Koozies
Electrolyte/hydration packets
50ml shooters
Any other must haves? Or perhaps some small touches to...
Evermore resort just outside of Orlando (25 min from airport). Apparently it’s been there for a while, but they just re-did the entire thing. It opened 2 weeks ago and I stayed there the last 2 days and it’s AWESOME.
They have 2 full-length courses onsite that are so completely different: 1...
If you follow ZireGolf on Instagram, you’ve seen some of the crazy events/sights on the golf course that people have captured on their cell phones. Fires, carts flipping over, fights, etc.
Yesterday I was golfing in Los Angeles and was blown away by the fearlessness of the squirrels. See...
I got served an IG ad for something called Links Golf Official. In short, it claims that by purchasing a membership you’ll gain access to private clubs to you couldn’t otherwise get on. Sounds interesting.
I went down the Reddit wormhole and from what I can tell, sounds like they somehow...
It will be 32° when I tee off tomorrow morning, which has me completely overthinking every aspect of golf preparation. In honor of that, I wanted to share various tidbits about cold-weather golf I’ve heard over the years to see if any of you fellow Hackers can help me ascertain which ones are...
I’m headed to Myrtle Beach tomorrow for a few days of golf with some buddies, and I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. Besides golf — any recos on must-see things, fun bar areas, etc?
Every charity golf outing I’ve been to features a 50/50 fundraising raffle. I always enter, but always hope I DON’T win because I’m not sure if you’re supposed to “not accept” the winnings, and donate it all back to the charity. I’ve seen some people do that, but not all.
I consider myself to be a pretty decent golfer. I hit plenty of good shots throughout a round, I am capable of a birdie at any time (though usually it ends up being a bogey) — what hurts my scoring, like many others, is the lack of consistency. 2 tee shots sliced OB, thinking or chunking 3...
Generally speaking, I tend to drive the ball pretty well on the front nine. Back nine? A high, lame slice off the tee, every time.
Mental? Maybe. Swing fatigue of some sort? It seems rational.
Anyone else deal with this?
Seriously. Wedding day? Arrival of new child? Sex? Anything with peanut butter? I’d put the feeling of new clubs arriving at your doorstep right there with any of those.
This video is about 2 years old, but still puts me in an amazing mood anytime I watch it. @JasonFinleyCG @AT_CG
It’s kind of a long story, but the short version is that I was just given an Autoflex driver shaft at no cost so I’m getting a new adaptor put in and am gonna try it out.
someone told me, “you may want to change your grip weight.” I never even considered that grip weight might have an impact...
Fellow Hackers,
I game a Ventus TR Velo Black 6S driver shaft.
I’m currently using my stock 3wood shaft and may upgrade to a Ventus. Here’s my question: when buying the 3 wood shaft, would I still be 6S? Or do I need to go to 7S if I want my 3 wood shaft to be about 10g heavier?

I’m getting old. As much as I try to deny it, as hard as I work to avoid it, it’s a truth I’m reminded of every 9 months or so when my “throw out my back” doing something random. I suppose it’s technically “back spasms” and for whatever reason seems to happen a week before some fun golf is...
I live in NJ and typically for winter golf I wear layer upon layer upon layer. Thinking about instead getting a nice, warm (but not restrictive) golf jacket this year so I don’t have to rock so many layers.
I’ve found two that look pretty solid; would love to hear thoughts/feedback from any...
Anyone else ever notice how wildly inconsistent golf apparel sizing is? I bought a Footjoy polo in XL and it’s baggy on me; a Peter Millar XXL was a tad snug. Why can’t they all just use the same damn sizing and make it easier on us consumers?! A perfect segue…
I received a gift card for...
You’re going to buy a new set of clubs so you get fitted (fit?) for them. A year later, you go through some swing changes: maybe it’s after some lessons, or maybe you’ve just suffered through a case of the shanks and have come out with a slightly tweaked swing.
Should you get re-fit now that...
One day I’ll shoot low 80s, and the next time out I’ll shoot 100. I’m a Jeckyll and Hyde golfer and never know which is going to show up.
Is this one of those “that’s golf” things, and some of you experiende this level of variance too? Or am I a sad anomaly?
Let me preface by saying: I realize joggers are a bit… polarizing. This post isn’t to debate the merit of them; but rather to get some recos from people with more intel than myself.
So, if you have some golf joggers that you like, I’d love to hear which ones! I definitely want a pair with...
I know, I know… it’s only October. But my wife is already pressing me to give her my Christmas list and I need help with some golfy ideas! Doesn’t need to be anything big like a new set — accessories or clothes are fine.
I was thinking “winter golf gloves” but from the reviews I’ve read, sounds...
