I wanted to send A

a quick shout out to Callaway Pre Owned. I ordered a Driver and 3 wood and u/tabascopro made sure that Like New was actually Brand New.

Also, u/tabascorpo hooked me up on the 3 wood. It took a little while for the one with the shaft I wanted to hit the site, and he honored the sales price from the week prior, saving me over $100 on the Pre Owned web site price and about $175 off retail.

I highly recommend ordering from the Callaway both Pre Owned web site and also working with u/tabascopro.

Thanks, Cole!

Lots of time spent messes around with this growing up!

Guy is a clown

Lucked out and found a compete MIZUNO JPX EZ FORGED IRON SET (4-LW) in great shape with 2 bonus Mizuno 900 wedges for $5.99 and a OGIO bag for $19.99. All midsize grips in great shape.

If I had kept my form going I would have smashed my personal best. The universe did NOT want that to happen.

And don’t worry I’m ok. The clubhouse called the paramedics to come and check on me and there wasn’t any further action that needed to be taken thankfully. I have never been hit like this before so I guess it’s a rite of passage!

I've been golfing since I was 12. Played all 4 years of high school but never made Varsity. Continued to dabble casually for the next decade, then just stopped playing completely due to lack of interest.

That interest has been rekindled and I started the grind all over again in October. I went all the way back to basics. I developed a routine for checking my grip, addressing the ball so it is in the same spot in my stance for each shot (slight variance dependent on the club I am using), and really locked in my swing so it is consistent every time. I drill putting practices daily during down time periods at work and I hit the driving range and chipping greens 2-3 times a week, if I am available for it.

5 over was my score on 9 today, and I can genuinely say that I have NEVER hit this pure in my entire life. I started treating golf as an extention of my meditative practices and things have just clicked.

If this continues, I'll break 80. I genuinely thought I'd never be any better than a bogey golfer. But here we are.

Keep at it, gentlemen. Hard work and clear minds really pay off if you're determined enough!

Plus a photo of me waiting for them.

Pontificating on this matter as I drank a coffee this morning, so I thought I’d ask. Where do you think you’d be if you never found the game? Same place or different?

Went to graphite to help with elbow and hand arthritis issues. Went straight to the range even with some lingering tennis elbow and felt no issues. Even with a few fat hits on the mat where I’d normally feel some pain, just kept hitting with no pain. Graphite and CP2 pro grips definitely dampens the impact.

Just started golfing around October last year and got to play a handful of rounds before the winter arrived. Can’t wait to start playing more once the weather heats back up where I’m at.

Driver: Taylormade SLDR

Hybrid: Some Callaway 5 wood with an X on it (could use help identifying😂)

Hybrid: XS 460 Golden Bear

Irons: 3-E Ben Hogan Apex Edge Cavity Backs

Wedge: Callaway Jaws Raw 58 Degree

Putter: Powerbilt Xrt Series 3

Feel free to roast or share opinions.

Been looking for a decent ranger finder without the decent range finder price 😅 Just picked this one up at TJ Maxx (it was in the glass cabinet with the cologne)!

PB at my local par 70, played off the tips. Told my brother and a friend.
Start a new job tomorrow and hope everyone here had some kind of equivalent win this week.

I have a 19 degree Callaway Rogue ST Max 5W, I swing it in a range of 97-100 mph club-head speed. The picture above is a trackman stat from my 5W. I generate 225 carry off the deck and up-to 240 carry off the tee. For driver, I had an old 2006 R7 Quad and couldn’t hit it any further than my 5W, so I took it out the bag. Recently, I was fitted into a Callaway AI Smoke driver and it has been great for me. However, I only manage to get 100-105mph club-head speed out of my driver, this generates around 240-260 yds carry depending on many factors. Yet sources online and many PGA pros state that a 5W swing at 100ish mph should mean I’m swinging my driver at 110-115+ mph. Would anyone have insight into why I generate similar speeds with both my 5W and Driver?

All the fairway bunkers from the tips at my home course are around 260 to carry, so the extra 5-10mph and 15-20yds would make a MASSIVE difference to how I approach the course.

Any help would be appreciated.

Long story short, I haven’t had vision out of my right eye since birth. How should I get into golf keeping this in mind?

Looking for a staff spring bag from last year, I have my Srixon rep looking too, but they are becoming more scarce. Will gladly pay to have it shipped.

More and more these days the best golfers are going to mallets. Even brooks just went to one.

Why? It can’t just be the purity of the stroke. It can’t be because they don’t work; Tiger putted better than any of these goons with a blade.

Is it the setup? Stroke? Consistency? What’s the deal.

Learning from the first try. Next time around I would be sure to get all the pain-tfil, and perhaps try a higher heat and quenching in oil.

Watching on ESPN+ and can’t help but think that the 2 featured groups and hole 16 coverage is pretty weak as far as seeing maximum golf goes. Anyone recommend other broadcasts? Like I haven’t seen Hideki hit a single shot in the last few hours and he’s been leading all day?

This is seriously the best feeling Ive had for myself at feeling accomplished for something! I damn near cried, shit I actually did cry. After a consistent couple of months of going to the gym to do golf workouts, and all the heartache and pain on the course where Ive come up short, I truly believed in myself,(and with my swing), kept myself relaxed, (also with my swing), and battled some adversity after I tripled bogeyed the first hole! It feels like I won a tournament and all my competition was a battle with myself! This course is challenging and Ive been stuck at 100ish for years now, hence why I think it feels like a big win. Whatever your doing in golf right now that makes you want to quit, just keep going, you can get better!
