Has anyone paid for a membership to this website? I have some serious doubts as to the use of a website like this. I feel as though there are more variables involved when picking the right golf ball . Variables such as launch angle and spin rate should be serious factors when selecting one I would think. If you know those variables then a pro would be able to help you determine the correct one. I don't know there is just some much gimmicky ideas surrounding golf, sometimes it's tough to weed out the absurd ones. I normally stick to my local pro.

Just looking for thoughts on services like this.

Ball speed, angle of impact, launch angle and spin rate on the ball are all fundamental mechanical factors that affect ball performance. Golf ball construction, compression and cover hardness are also critical parameters.

Pulled from their website.

I think they do look at those factors ;)

I am just saying that I am sure they took those factors when doing tests and ultimately providing "the golf ball you should use" but without providing that information how could they possibly know. Maybe that's the magic behind the site?

I pulled up the site to check it out. $20.00 to tell me what ball I should be playing?! What a crock of sh*t. Anyone who would sign up for this ought to have their friggin head examined.

First, you would need to have a launch monitor to correctly do this. Then you would have to be a mind reader since feel has a huge part in golf ball selection. I could go on that sight and they could tell me I needed to play a Nike One Black. Well Nike One Blacks feel like crap to me so then what?

Anyway, save your money. This site is a total fraud and could in no way give you information worth $20. Read the back of some boxes, buy two or three different kinds of golf balls, then take them on the course and see how they perform. No website can do this for you.

Isn't trying out new stuff part of the fun.

Balls are the cheapest part of the game, goofing around with different and new ones isn't something I'd like to NOT do myself.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
