What is the little fold up device that people like Mark Crossfield use that tracks their swing speed and face angle and everything. I know Trackman is the big orange square but I don't know what to search to figure out what this one is

AFter having played golf for a couple of months with the gentle guidance of my bro-in-law, I took a golf lesson. And I have one comment about it: HOLY loving poo poo. It feels like a night and day. The little things that the pro corrected in my swing made huge differences and my consistency shot up the roof. I paid 33 bucks for one hour and I got to play 9 holes aftewards for free. I shot like three buckets of range balls, so the value of it was amazing too. If anyone is having doubts in their mind about taking a lesson, there is no way to describe how effective or amazing it feels to have someone work the kinks out with you and having the balls fly higher and farther out almost instantly. I'm still in the process of basically messaging everyone and telling how great it was.

I have a buddy who plays in the 80s all the time. I've been with him when he's shot 81, 82, 83, etc. but he refuses to take lessons. It drives me crazy. His goal is to break 80 but the way he plays he's going to need 3-5 lucky breaks a round to do it. I'm a crappy golfer, never broken 90, but the last lesson I took added like 20 yards to my drive. That's probably worth it. It was a grip and shoulder turn change so I'm struggling with the change so far, I shot 66-44 last round I played. Best 110 I've ever shot haha, but when the grip and swing change is working I'm at worst a bogey golfer. I keep telling him to take lessons but he just refuses and it drives me nuts.

Not that I'm even close, but once you are in the low 80's it's going to take a lot more effort to go from 85 to 80 than it did to get from 90 to 85. Sometimes it's just not worth all that effort.

From what I'm gathering in my limited search the GC2 is something that's so far out of my price range that I can't even fathom having the money laying around to buy it

Yeah it's a pretty expensive peice of kit. Mainly used as teaching aid or if you have enough money for it. It's pretty drat cool though, the videos of people in their house with it are pretty bad rear end until it comes to putting.

Not even close, but if you're looking for numbers on your swing that may or may not be accurate to +/- 5% then it's probably the way to go for the cheapness. Josh Lyman posted:I love how, with literally anything else, from playing a musical instrument to ballet to swimming, people understand that you needs teachers/coaches to get better. Bubba did it, why can't I? I've self taught gamed my way from 120's to low 80's in less than 15 years. 5 if you count my hiatus from the sport!

drat it! Me and golfing during the week never works out, something stupid always comes up! Everyone at my work is on vacation today, so I had to stick around to unload a truck because I am the only other person that can drive a forklift, even though I am the IT guy..truck was supposed to be here at 11 am, so I booked a 2PM tee time. Not even 3 minutes ago get an email saying the truck broke down and won't be here until 3 now...so not only do I not get to golf today, but I can't even leave early like I was told I could... fml i hate work.

So this happened today, first hole, first drive. Brand new ball, never used before. Drive still went 250+ but sounded and felt very weird. I've gone through a whole box of these and this is the first time it's happened. They are the NXT Tour S balls. And the round, not my best and not my worst.  Round number 3 is tomorrow morning, I'm pretty loving beat!

Played with my boss this afternoon, practicing for our Member-Member in a couple weeks. I was hitting my wedges miles somehow, and I don't think the 90 degree heat and humidity can account for all of it. My 50 degree usually carries about 125 and I hit it 140-145 a few times and was absolutely mystified. The rest of my clubs were behaving much better though so we ended up with a better score than we had in our rounds last year despite my boss having a rough time. Considering I'm more or less recovered from my surgery and have like 40 rounds played this year to his 3 or 4 that's to be expected though.

After yet another lovely round today, I'm mystified as to how people improve from shooting 104 to 74. I'm starting to think I just don't have the right mental attitude for golf.

My friend used to shoot 120s for years and years because we only got out a handful of times in a summer. Last 2 years he has been putting in 50+ rounds a summer and is now shooting high 80s. Nothing but repetition and practice.

Edit: If you've been playing golf in the last 5 years you immediately know if someone is playing a Sumo driver. That thing is obnoxious. I shot 95 today, 52-43. Not sure why I suck all of the dicks on the front and then play so much better on the back recently. That 52 on the front was with a birdie and the 43 on the back was with a triple on a par 3(aquatic). Shrapnig fucked around with this message at 04:00 on May 28, 2016 |

MG Golf (mggolf.com) bought the remaining stock of Callaway's SR3 balls and has them for $19.95 a dozen, brand new. Just in case any of you guys play that ball and want to stock up on it. I assume the Chrome Soft is doing so well that they decided to just keep pushing it and abandon their other models.

Can someone explain the concept of tee time prices and pacing? Throughout the spring, I've been playing at Norcal/bay area courses at different times, and I've come to the conclusion that the twilight rate concept makes no sense. Sample size is low, but playing in the morning several courses have been almost empty and that same course becomes crowded and jammed with people after noon when the twilight rate comes out. Two of the guys I play with have a "well I'm not paying non-twilight rates, gently caress that" attitude. I really feel like if they just made the same rate all day more people would play in the 9-11am time and a 2pm tee time wouldn't have groups queued up to play each hole.

They charge more to play in the morning for exactly that reason, it isnt crowded and you play through quick without hassle. Youre paying to not get stuck behind people like me.  e: 103 today. So many 3 putt greens and I triple bogeyed all 4 par 3s. I think I need to get a new putter. And some lessons.

It's 4 right now for me. Most golfers don't have an "I paid $X, I'm going to get my money's worth" attitude as far as I can tell so I'm not sure what your buddies are getting at. Like the previous poster said, I'd rather pay more but play at a good pace. I will intentionally book a tee time that's 10-30 minutes before twilight rates start for that reason. You almost never hear someone complain because their round only took 3 hours instead of 4.5-5. That being said I'm playing tomorrow at 2 and that round is going to take forever. It's also going to be 90 without much wind.

So finally got out for a round. Shot a 91 on par 72 which I'm not unhappy about given its first time I have played a round in years and about 17 years since serious play. Showed up to play at the course I had booked to be told comp was still on and the pro was not sure why I had been booked in for a social round. No apology and he acted like I should be the one apologising for even entering his pro shop. Called up a smaller club which wasn't in great condition as they are currently expanding from a 9 hole to a full 18 and was able to show up and play no problem. Had 3 birdie opportunities but lack of putting touch let me down. Also managed to get through the first 13 without losing a ball but that came to a rough end losing 2 on the next 2 holes. Feels great to play again now to play a few other of the local courses see what I like, join and get my handicap back. Dimebag fucked around with this message at 11:31 on May 29, 2016 |

I saw a golfer hit a hole-in-one on Friday morning while I was filling divots in the adjacent tee box. It's pretty cool to see that happen.

http://m.imgur.com/a/IqfoJ WITB for the season. Except for the 3 wood, 58*, and putter, all clubs are less than a year old. Edit: less than a year spent in my bag, that is. Because newer gear is always the answer for lower scores.
