Depends on how the round goes. Sometimes it's the sound of the trunk closing after putting the clubs away.....

While it's not heard anymore, I still think the sound of a ball hit on the sweet spot on a persimmon driver is the best.

I have an old set of Haig Ultras and have taken the driver to the course with me. Just hearing that sound again when I hit it a few times made a flood of memories come rushing back.

I've had a good day if I don't fall out of the cart...

This guy makes some good audio of one...  Three or four shots.  No music or talking.

There's something to be said for modern driver sound, too.  I love the "note" of my Tour Edge Exotics.  The rolling thunder makes a cool background track.

Was that Caitlyn back in the day?

Now that I've stopped shooting Diet Coke through my nose...

It's actually Jack Hamm: Long Driver, Con Artist.   My dad bought one of those clubs for like $10 at the flea market.  Total junk.  Like hitting the ball with soft lead.  And the shaft had an airfoil shape which made it almost completely rigid.

The sound of golf spikes in the parking lot.  Never to be heard again.

Wow, you're right.  That "crunch-crunch-crunch" was sublime!  Don't some of the tour pros still use spikes?  I seem to remember Tiger slipping on a cart path during a swing due to hard spikes just a few years ago.

So after they empty their pockets to you they ask, ‘ So Erik...what do you do for a living?’ Lol.

My voice, when my opponent asks where do we stand [front nine, back nine, or overall] ... "you are down # of strokes".

Is there anything sweeter sounding than the whoosh-plink! of a well struck 3 wood?  

 

 

Personally I like the tinkling metal sound my belt makes while I'm tucking in my shirt. :whistle: Other than that a driver sounds way better than a 3-wood. A 3-wood off the tee sounds like laying up.

    • 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.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
