I have a Callaway Sunday bag with a 6" mouth, no dividers, one pocket (for balls) and a single strap. Never seen another like it. I did add 7 tubes to keep the clubs from tangling. I added one of those snap on tee holders. If I did more than walk a par 3 nine hole course I think I would really want legs as I put the bag down on the ground for every shot. I may switch to a dual strap.

I am working on shallowing out my swing. I just want the band aid so I can have some success and less frustration while I am working on my swing.

Thanks for the response. I'm playing the cobra baffler rail fairway woods. They have a relatively shallow face. Would a taller face benefit? I am working on improving my swing but I want to have more success playing with the swing I have now.

I have a steep angle of attack when swinging my driver and fairway woods (leave irons out of the conversation for now). I want to keep playing while I work on my swing so what driver and fairway woods are better for a steep AoA? I've gone for higher lofted drivers (10.5-14*) but I've started to think that maybe the 9* driver might be better with a steep AoA.

Are the numbers being given here total yards or carry yards? I have no idea how to accurately figure out carry distance. I can guess where the ball hit and I can measure the point at which it stopped moving. It would be good to know but I don't know how to capture it.

I play in the morning starting at 7 AM. Hole 1 faces east right into the sun. The dew on the green glistens majestically in the sun. There is no way to tell if the ball is on the green until you are about 3/4 of the way up to it. Today I hit a provisional when I had no idea where my first shot went. Found both on the green waiting for me. The sun is usually high enough to be less of a problem by the time I get to the next hole that faces east, hole 6. I know if I am making good time by where the sun is on hole 6. On the other hand I had a really good round with dense fog. I had to hit to the middle of the green rather than at the pin.

Take up my friend's offer to take me out on the course and show me how to play. If I had done that I might have been able to golf with my nephew before he died instead of golfing in a annual scramble in his honor.

The name/address/phone # band to put on your clubs. Golf balls with me & my kids' names on them. Tees with me and my kids' names on them. Golf towel. Golf cigar clip thingy. Oh, wait. That is a gift list for me. Sorry.

I left my 7i on a course, probably on hole 18 where I used the 7i to chip. My clubs have the name and phone number sticker band near the grip and a fancy mongram disc in the end of the grip with the same info. These make great gift suggestions. I called the proshop and they had my club. Apparently they don't check clubs for any kind of ownership information. If I were smart I would create a gps transponder thingy to put in the shaft of each club so I could go online and find where my club is currently located. I would call it "Dude, where is my club?"

For me don't limit technology, atleast for non-pros or even certain HC levels. I'm a 25-30 HC - sell me clubs without any limits on the game improvement technology so I can hit the ball as far as possible and as accurate as possible. I will enjoy the round with my friends all that much more and maybe play more often.

This is me also.

For the past two years it has been the end of November - the 28th one year and the 29th another. I hope to make it into December this year.

Yes and I have even posted one some time ago. I intended the post to go in a completely different direction but it got away from me and became a review. Maybe I'll transfer it. Thanks.

I played Lake of the Woods GC in Mahomet IL on Monday with my son. It is a par 72 by Robert B. Harris that opened in 1951. There are a lot of mature trees on rolling hills and a forest off to the side. It is a relatively short course. The staff, proshop, and course are all top notch and the battery powered carts have plenty of zip. In the fall I suggest avoiding yellow or orange golf balls because of the leaves from the trees. The fairways that run parallel to each other are protected and segregated from each other by some of those mature trees. It is also quite something to rake your footprints from the sand and those of the deer that live in the forest. I enjoyed the company, the scenery, and the golf but did I enjoy the course? Lake of the Woods GC has rolling hills with trees and some water with the emphasis on rolling hills. After the first hole I struggle to remember a hole where the tee box and green were at the same altitude. Maybe they ski or sled on it in the winter. I do remember the hole where the GPS told me one distance and the score card distance another - 50 yards longer. I went with the wrong club and landed the ball near the tee box for the next hole. Thinking back I would have to say that once the novelty of hitting down hill and up hill hole after hole wore off it became more of the same. It was cool on the first few holes to hit a drive and watch it roll a whole lot farther down hill. It was pretty cool to hit a monster drive up hill and wonder if you managed to catch the downward slope on the other side and have a huge amount of roll out. I live in East Central Illinois where most courses are relatively flat with more flat to break up the monotony. I think it just became more of the same. My lasting memory of the greens is of landing zones on top of small hills where there was a strong chance of rolling off the back or the side. Of course some of the greens had sand to stop that problem. All in all I enjoyed the golf and the course but it became rather predictable. Not necessarily a bad thing and well worth your time.
