I'm a 16-year-old golfer from Finland. I completed the green card course 4 years ago, but after that I didn't play that often until 2018. My handicap in the beginning of 2018 was around 40-50. It quickly dropped down to 26,6 in the end of 2018. I was practicing in a junior beginner group but I got invited to join the best junior golfers of our club (hcp was around 30). I practiced a lot during the winter and summer of 2019. Right now my handicap is 8,6. I did biathlon for 6 years before quitting it last year. I have played many sports (also too much e-sports). During the summer I played around 100 rounds of golf (consisting of 1/3 18 hole rounds and 2/3 9 hole rounds). My dream is to get on the European tour. My typical round is 78-80. Last year my average drive was 200 meters. This summer it was around 240-250 meters

Welcome to the forum. 

About 5 years ago I stayed in Finland for about a week. I was up near Seinajoki. It was during the time of year when the sun didn't set. I remember we played golf twice. We teed off at around 9PM both times. It was really cool. Although, I imagine it isn't quite as awesome in the winter. 

Anyway, I've been to Finland a few times and have always enjoyed it. 

Enjoy the forum. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

      "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.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      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.

      By saevel25 ·

      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.

      Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.
