Never walked from a bucket (altho probably should have at least twice) ... I have walked off the course a couple times when I got sick of embarrassing myself (playing alone each time).

Some days it's just better to walk and hope to do better next time.

I almost walked off the course two weeks ago. Not because I was embarrassing myself but I had a terrible front 9. Luckily and decided to keep going and did much better on the back.

Yep, me too. I get all I want for free so I only hit as many as I feel like.

Only if I've accomplished what I wanted to or if I start to feel sore or overly tired. The latter comes mainly in the summer or during a busy day, while the prior comes while I am working on something specific.

Drill a hole through one of the golf balls and tie mono fish line to the ball. Attach the line to a small reel and rod you have in your bag. walk away an sit on the bench. when someone goes to pile of left over balls start reeling in the ball tied to the fishing rod ( ice fishing rods work well and fit right into the bag ) Then get ready for a laugh at the reactions of different people

I've never walked away from a bucket. In fact, i'm the guy who pops out of nowhere and takes your balls the moment you decide to leave them.

I have however, walked away from a round. Many, many times. I only do this if i'm alone, playing REALLY bad, and playing at a municipal course (they're cheap).

I do it almost everytime I play, I always get a bucket before my round (Members get them free) I hit probably half then go to the first tee, I always offer them to someone else on the range.

Tonight I sure felt like it. I topped my pitching wedge 50 yards and it just got worse after that. My mind was elsewhere and I should have just done something else. One good thing, my 3 year old had some good putts on the practice green.

Yeah. I was on a half circle range and I shanked a lob wedge into the head of a teenaged girl out with her dad hitting balls. Probably scarred her from golf for life. I could not concentrate after that and gave them my bucket. Contemplated giving up the game after that one.

Yeah i just finished travelling 6 hours and i went to the range and i was warming up
hit my wedge shank
i'm like hmm ok weird ... stepped back loosened up a bit
Address the ball... shank... ok that's just unlucky... pre shot routine... address the ball... shank okkkk
hit like 5 more than i was like ok i'm goin home
I got it figured out... annoying how little lapses in concentration when you first start mess things up

Well always I guess---let me explain. My driving range is $8 for all I can hit---off real grass, real practice bunkers and lots of pins to hit to.

Usually my session (maybe 2 to 2.5 hours) is a full pyramid. Yesterday it was 80% of a pyramid. The mosquitoes got to me. As the sun sets they get wicked.

Our range gives you 3 tokens for $10, each token gets you 40 balls. I usually get them in increments of 40 so if I'm not feeling it, I don't have to leave anything behind.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
