Does anyone else use this? It has helped me a lot. Use to 3 putt 4-5 times a round. Now I rarely every 3 putt.

In a tournament - 128 yard par 3 (blue ash #12 if you're from cincinnati, oh, usa).

After a fine tee shot by my 12 yo to about 8 feet, his 10 yo cardmate stuck an iron that gently rolled right up and in!

The tournament director witnessed it too. Pretty special memory that kid will get to take with him.

Starting to track my putt distances and curious why my two 30 foot putts are shown as green and the others are not. I’m guessing it has something to do with GIR?

Need help fixing my early extension, i just cant keep my hips from going forward. Im 198cm with 1.5 inch extensions, dont need longer clubs and am using a pitching wedge, any tips helps

Picked up golf during covid like half the people on this sub probably did. Spent the first two years just hacking around with no real idea what I was doing wrong. Lessons helped a bit but not as much as I expected. What actually changed things was stopping trying to fix everything at once and just picking one thing per round to focus on. For me it was keeping my head still on short putts. Sounds basic, but I was all over the place.

Went from shooting 105 to 107 to 103 to 98 over and over for like two years feeling completely stuck. Then something clicked this spring and I've broken 90 four rounds in a row, which for me is a massive deal.

Curious what the actual turning point was for other people who went through that same wall. Not looking for swing tips or anything, just genuinely want to know if it was something specific you started doing, something you stopped doing, a piece of gear, or just time on the course. Feel like everyone has that one thing that made it click, and I wonder how different they all are.

i’ve only gone golfing once before, i’m going to a par 3 course tomorrow, any general tips for a beginner? what clubs do i use, any way i should be swinging, etc…

William Mouw made an octuple-bogey 13 on the par-5 16th hole at The American Express in January 2025. But here's the most amazing thing. He won the ISCO Championship 5 months later. Never give up!

Hubby and I are going to the 3M open on Saturday and we’ve never gone to a pro tourney before. Any tips and tricks are much appreciated!

Almost had a hole in one before my first birdie

I was having this discussion at work, and wanted to know what everyone thinks.

For me, the absolute perfect day of golf is 60-65°, Overcast with light mist or fog. Looks like it might rain, but doesn't. Maybe my preference is from playing in highschool, which was a fall sport. The last month has been nothing but sun and heat and I am bitter about it

Gonna pull the trigger on the Vessel Player V Pro Stand bag, should I go with the 7 or 14? Typically ride the cart and I don’t mind the extra weight when walking.

Also, if I get the 14 way, how would you arrange the clubs?

Hey fellow golf trip nerds. Seeking advice on any changes- or validation of current plans- to a trip I am coordinating for 3 buddies and I.

Fly into SFO or SJC Friday morning. Pasatiempo Friday afternoon
Drive south to Airbnb that evening

Bayonet sat morn
Poppy Saturday afternoon

Pacific grove Sunday morning
Fly home that afternoon

Thoughts? Any better courses to consider (not other pebbles, that’s a dedicated upcoming for beach, spy, Spanish).

Thanks!

Fellow golf addicts, as we know golf is a multi-faceted game. You got the driver, irons, wedges, putter and most importantly the mental game. I consider myself a decent golfer (recently touching single-digit handi) and my takeaway has been that you don't need to be spending sooo much time on the range, but you do need to keep your skills warm such as practicing grip (at home), reinforcing swing feels and so forth. Every so often though, I would grab a club and all of a sudden my mind is blank, every little thing (grip, stance, distance from ball) all feel totally foreign and off. I would have misses that I never had before (hooks, shanks, tops....) it literally could happen after a great round, or maybe 2 or 3 days off. this happened to me yesterday. I've been playing decent, but all of a sudden i am shanking my wedges hard right and for the life of me I can't understand what i'm doing wrong. after half a bucket of shanks I decided to pack it in for the day. had a good nights rest, and came back to range today and voila....i'm fully back. And i literally don't know what i did different from the day before. when the wedge was in my hand everything kind of felt familiar again (grip, backswing, tempo, yadda yadda).

the one thing i noticed is that the amnesia day, i didn't get good sleep and it was fckin hot as hell outside.

have any of you guys experienced things like this? I know the golf mastery graph v well. you can play well and then all of a sudden you are down the dumps and then pick it up. But my valleys are like short lived and just v frustrating....

I just won an auction for this LAB DF3 putter but the logo looks off and says ZT3, did I just get scammed?

I just broke 90 5 days before it’s a year of me playing golf. it all goes down from here doesn’t it.🫩

Just looking for an estimate on how much this set would cost?

I have a TM Pro Stand bag and all in its 11.15kg (24.6lbs) when I’m on the course. That’s without a couple of litres of water. Just curious as to where that is at compared to others..?

What is the go to when you have a tough lie in the rough with not a ton of green to work with? I often find myself having to hit a shot where my ball is in a deep-ish area of rough that is a few yards off, and maybe sloping below, the green.

I find myself really struggling to hit a reasonably well struck pitch shot since the ball is deep in the rough. Even if I bump and run with a 7-8 iron, I feel like I have to swing reasonably hard in order to get the club through the grass, which usually ends up in a ball that is struck pretty well, but goes WAY long.

Edit: Helpful comments so far, thank you! Open face with a higher bounce club seems like the play

Whether you're out with friends, family, randoms or alone in the quiet of the morning.....

Don't let a bad round ruin a good time.

Wynn, Las Vegas.
Other than that, super fun course. 😎⛳️👍🏼

I bought some 3A balls and they have a weird chemical smell. Some kind of strong cleaning agent maybe but the smell gives me polyurethane vibes too, idk. They all look and feel as good as I expected (It's my first time buying used so I'm no expert), but the smell is throwing me off. Is this normal for used balls? I have them sitting outside to off-gas for now but I don't know if I need to wash them to eliminate the smell or if it means they were treated in a way that would make them compromised like refurbished balls?

A lof of people I've played with say that the max they take is a double bogey. My typical rule of thumb is double par, max of 6 strokes on a par 3 for example.

This is mainly because when I have a blow-up hole I'm so pissed off that I forget my strokes and so I just write down double par (which I think is fair). People usually don't want to put me down for a quadruple bogey though lol.

Curious to see what everyone does.

Just wondering how different people see going golfing. Spending the two or four hours out there
