As I’ll never join the pro circuit and at best just like chasing the ball around “all” of the golf course…I want these: https://louisvillegolf.com/collections/hickory

I do think that I will buy a putter at some point as that was what I learned how to putt with many years ago. It was my dad’s and I loved using that club.

@guiltyparty said in Golf:

Heath and I are trying to get out to play more now that the weather is warming up. We've been in gear acquisition mode, which some might argue is even more fun than actually playing the game.

Dude we gotta play together now that the pollen seems to be settling down. Let's discuss denim and leather, and how to combine them into a golf outfit for the summer.

@goosehd those are really cool. I think my already limited distance wouldn’t love em though. And putter is on my list too. I’ve always used a blade but will probably switch to a mallet this year if I find one I like

goosehd

@SKT my thought as well and the reason I haven't pulled the trigger...yet

I used my dad's persimmon head driver when I first started. An absolute you're either on or off club that when you hit it well, the feedback was like nothing else I have ever swung. I miss that driver, but 90% of the time couldn't hit it well. The new modern drivers are so much better in that regard, but I just don't love the feel. The persimmon is hands down better in that aspect.

@Sage954 ahhh those are nice. My first real set of wedges were 588’s. I really only need a sand and lob…kind of wish they were offering them solo as well as set. Thanks for the heads up

Round with my dad, uncle and wife. Addicted to this game.

This is fast becoming my latest obsession. Back out again tomorrow
The photos can’t give this place justice. It’s been carved out into the sand dunes at my most local coastal town. Today’s environmental laws would absolutely not allow this as a new project to go ahead.

I am in at the deep end as well, starting properly this year after a couple of sim bay lessons late last year. Not many pics, my phone is usually in my bag. @AdamC @AdamJ and I are getting in a few 9s at Gosport Stokes Bay Golf Club, and I have Wanstead 15mins from home that I play at with local mates too

Can get pretty windy in Gosport...

@Brock Thank you for showing your bag and mentioning them a bit ago…I’ve went back and forth a few times playing with different ideas on what I wanted and finally decided on this:

@Alex lets skip a day of Union and play 18 in Berlin

Brock

@goosehd I love it! I would carry that any day!
And it will last you a lifetime

Alex

@guiltyparty we do have one quiet day...

@Alex ....recommend Waterlooville. A group of us from my club played in the seniors open a few weeks back.,.really lovely course.

Alex

@bryaneidins70 thats up by @AdamC and he said the same thing recently!
Long time no see mate, hope you are well

bryaneidins70

Thank you Alex...im well and always lurking about.

I hope you and yours are well.

Let me know if you're ever playing there and need to make up numbers...would happily join you for a round.

AdamC

@bryaneidins70 My in laws go to functions at the club semi-regularly and they said how nice it is there. Couldnt believe the cost to join when I was looking. Portsmouth Golf Club in Crookhorn is a walk from my house and I think probably a little easier of a course which is needed at the moment
