Golf game... what to buy?

[BillBrasky4Cy]

I didn’t realize that many people cared about golf enough to take lessons. I love golfing and do it once maybe twice a week during the summers, but I’m not doing it for a living. Paying for lessons seems silly, but to each their own

Lessons are a game changer. Most people don't need a complete reset on how they grip/swing the club. A good pro will work with what your doing and make adjustments. When I was in high school I literally went from a huge banana slice to bombing it down the middle in one lesson. It's well worth it even if you play a few times a year because those few times will be much more enjoyable.

Agree. Finding a semi-consistent way of striking the ball completely changes the game and makes it that much more fun to play.

One other way to make playing more enjoyable that I haven’t seen mentioned yet is to play the front tees (Reds or Yellows). I see a lot of people playing Whites or Blues that probably shouldn’t be playing that far back given their respective abilities.

Golf clothes. You need to look dapper on the golf course.

Also, if in Iowa, you need some Cy club covers.

What I’ve found most helpful…

1: Time the hit just right, don’t wait for the windmill blade to be any further than in the 3:30 position.

2: Take advantage of the wood rails, bounce shots are the key.

I have all the best equipment and play 2-3 times a week but my game still sucks balls. What do I need to buy?

You could also try lifting your head more, not watching the ball

Should I go for the clown’s mouth in one or lay up?

The best soccer players in the world practice 3-4 times as much as they play. So maybe one round a week at 2 times at the range will help. Golf takes a **** ton of practice to be good at. Otherwise, you just have to accept you are always going to be around whatever you regularly shoot.

Hell, I don't even play anymore. Just have the clubs left from a previous life as a younger man.

Does anyone play Tour Edge equipment

I always ask newbies if they inhale or exhale on their downswing, If they answer I tell them to do the opposite. Yes I can be an ass but it is fun to watch.

My son has a Tour Edge Driver and it clearly helped his game. I tried it at the driving range and hit it better than what I had in my bag at the time. I have been impressed with their equipment. Made locally in suburbs of Chicago, and they dont' spend a lot on sponsoring the pros and it helps keep their pricing lower than the bigger name firms.

Man, I sold my RadSpeed and started playing Srixon ZX5s this weekend. I can't believe how much I love them. I didn't plan to replace the Cobras but a buddy tried them and loved them so I took advantage of my son's 50% discount. So glad to play them.

I do have a new Srixon driver I haven't taken out of the plastic yet if anyone is looking. I still really like my driver so I don't need it. DM if interested.

I've read really good things about them. Looking to replace my 3 and 5 woods. Very good pricing and reviews.
