Board, who’s golfing? Finally broke 100 a couple weeks ago and just shot a 43 this morning. Need some recommendations for a nice wedge set as I’m currently messing around with a very worn set of Cleveland’s that I was gifted a few years ago. Anyone mess around with the Kirkland Costco set or those bomb tech instagram ad clubs?

Haven’t had time to play with work and a toddler. Lately I’ve just been stopping and putting on the practice green at one of the nicer muni courses in town. The practice green is like 250 feet long and has slopes up to 4 degrees so I can pretty much practice any putt imaginable.

Liv Golfs tournament this weekend is at a course half a mile from my house.
I’ve seen more cops directing traffic than actual people attending the tourney. How long until they collapse.

LIV isn’t going anywhere in the next 5 years at least. The Saudi Arabian government is spending $3 billion on LIV and the latest round of defectors is actually a big blow to the PGA tour. Losing Cam Smith was huge

The whole event is goofy, but they have oil money. I’m surprised there aren’t more people attending. West of Bolton is boot licking central.

It’s like moving to a different planet politically.

Just got some clubs after not playing in 10+ years. Saw a craigslist ad for a set of Mizuno irons, wen't to the dude's house and he says he has a terminal leukemia diagnosis and needs to sell all his stuff. Needless to say, I was not gonna haggle on the price after hearing that. We chatted for a bit, told him about some health stuff I wen't through, and I ended up with the irons, a Vokey wedge, and a Ping driver for the cash I had on hand. I wen't back the next day and got the rest of his clubs - two more Vokey wedges, a 3 wood, his basically brand new putter (albeit a mallet putter which is not my preference but whatever), and then he gave me some rad 3 rescue/hybrid type thing that he got in Vietnam 20 years ago, and told me the day before that he'd never sell, on top of it all. He hooked it up big time.
Gotta be my top CL experience ever. I've gone to the range twice this week, and I'm hoping to get out and play for real this weekend.
Who's playing this season?

Taylormade Spider SX-32. I haven't tried it yet, but figured if I'm not feeling it I can always trade it in for a blade.

Last couple years I was playing quite a bit, usually 2 rounds a week and some range action. Game is still incredibly inconsistent though! Have a kiddo now so I've only played once this year and other than my putting I was terrible.
I picked up a Taylormade Spider last year. They had a good sale on where you could customize your own and mine looks slick all blacked out. Really wasn't putting good with it for most of the first season I used it and was considering switching back to the blade, but I've come around on it now and my putting's gotten better than it was before!

I play once or twice a week, live on a golf course I'm a member at so I'm lucky in that regard that I can be there in less than 5 minutes if I want to play. My 4 year old is into the game, so I get to take him out with me in the afternoons. Currently I'm a 8.2 HCP. I've had some health stuff come up, so I walk with my pushcart whenever I can.
I'm actually going to the PGA Championship at Valhalla in Kentucky next month, beyond stoked to see all the guys together, it'll be the first time I'll see Tiger in person.

Hell yeah, I'll be there Thursday-Friday. Hoping I can scalp tickets for Saturday or Sunday, but I doubt it. Me and my buddy who's going with me live in Virginia, so this is our first major and first time in Louisville.

I game the wedges currently, the putter wasn't my style. I'm hoping the driver will come back around, would definitely like to buy that soon.

The first batch of Kirkland balls were basically rebranded ProV1s. Titleist sued Costco, and the ball definitely changed for the worse by all accounts.

At christmas was talking about playing golf and my uncle told me about how he lived in Flint, MI in the 80's while he was in grad school at GMI and lived across from the municipal golf course and every Friday would get out of class, jump the fence and play a round and drink beers. He said the first time he did this older black dude in a derby cap and vest saw him and asked him to join him and then every Friday after they played and got day drunk together and he helped him get better at golf. He did not realize that he was basically playing with Chubbs from Happy Giilmore.

Played a 9 hole course today. First round with the new clubs and I had a handful of nice shots, but my putting was terrible. I don't know how much I can blame the mallet, but it was certainly strange since I've only ever used a blade. I only managed one par but I wasn't expecting much more. It felt good to get out there

As someone who is not a single digit handicap I happily play the modern day kirks👍 Rumor has it that the modern Kirkies are manufactured at the same plant as all of Taylormade's balls. Mygolfspy said they're basically TP5's.
