Morning all from sunny Scotland (well sunny today!)

 

Thought i'd sign up after having a browse for the last few weeks, a little about me and my game. I used to play when i was 13-18 mainly as a school friend lived bang on the third hole of the local course so we could jump on late on play all the way to the 16th and then walk home! Got to 18 stopped playing as much as everyone moved away, girls and beer became a thing etc etc and didn't pick up a club until late 2018 oh and 15 years passed also!. Bought a second hand set of clubs from a friend and went out for a round with my BIL and 2 friends, really enjoyed it and even managed 2 pars and shot a 114, and that was the last time i played in 2018.

Played 4 rounds this year and its been the last 3 Sunday's and 1 midweek game, scores have been fairly consistent, 2 further 114 a 103 and then yesterday a 120! 

Thought it pop on say hello and hopefully pick up some tips and tricks along the way!

Hello from rainy (for the time being) Georgia.  This has been an odd week.  I met a Chinese guy who doesn't play Ping Pong...and now I find out that everybody in Scotland isn't a scratch golfer.  It's a funny old world sometimes.  

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

      I stumbled across these pictures of the PXG mini-driver. I hear PXG is going to call it The "Secret Weapon".    Gappy Hilmore (@allgolfequipment) • Instagram photos and videos 343 likes, 5 comments - allgolfequipment on February 26, 2024: "Via @golfwrx In hand photos of @ericjamescole’s new PXG Mini Driver: The Secret Weapon 🧨💣🔥🚀 #pxg #sugardaddy #pxgtroops #0811 #0211...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Day 20: 12/30/2024 I've been working on my swing in front of the mirror today. Spent a lot of time at slow speed, mid speed and a couple at full speed. I just came back in from the garage where I practiced my PPJ swing by hitting about 10 balls with the 6-iron into my net.

      I'm just guessing here. But couldn't Titleist build a mini-driver with a very low center of gravity? Then it would work off the deck. The deep face wouldn't be as problematic.  I'm just spit-balling. I know nothing about this product.

      Yea, but a deeper face makes it not as useful off the fairway. This is why the driver is not easy to hit off the fairway.  For a select few PGA Tour players, it might be good. The concept of the mini driver has been around for a long time now. Very few ever keep it in their bag. This is a guess, but probably because it sucks off the ground. Nothing here looks like it is any different than the other mini drivers of the past.  I get it from Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris point of view. They hit the ball a long way. The odds they ever hit a 3-wood off the turf is like what, a handful a times a year? They probably would hit it 98% off the tee and 2% off the ground. They probably want something that think is longer off the tee versus their 3-wood because they don't hit the 3-wood off the ground much at all.  This is where I say, Titleist claiming "worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck." is more marketing than something that is actually beneficial to a golfer. This is primarily for off the tee.

      One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly.
