I'm Philipp, 34yo and just by accident picked up golf.  😀

 

Our local pro gave a cheap introduction course and now I'm hooked. My uncle sponsored me his old  (but still in good condition) clubs and off I go.

Searched the web for a forum and yours seem to be quite good! Hope to see you on the course!

Welcome from Massachusetts. I spent a lot of time in Bremen about 10 years ago. Didn't get to see much of the country side because I was working, but it was nice.

Thanks! Bremen is a nice smallish large city. I'm a big Werder fan. I live 20 miles from Bremen away. Hope you enjoyed your time there.

I mostly just worked. But one trip I was there most of December. I went to the Weihnachtsmarkt every day, which was right next to the hotel. I must say I got tired of it. :-P

I've actually never been to Augsburg, but in southern Germany there is a enjoyable countryside indeed! 

Yes, Germany actually has quite a lot of golf courses. But the vast majority of them are private. It's a shame in Germany with it's club system. You have to be a member of random club to play greenfee golf in another club. It's not like in the US, or Denmark, or Spain (these are the places I've been to to play golf), where just about anybody can drive to his local club and play some golf for greenfee. 

Here you have to pay some club membership costs, which are often quite high plus you often have to pay a down payment. It is so to keep the simple minded foot soldiers away from the golf courses. Golfing in Germany is said to be something elite. When I tell a friend that I golf he usually gives me a strange glimpse.

Just recently some clubs are opening their doors for the people. I hope it continues and golf hopefully will change its status here in Germany.

There are more and more private courses in the US that are allowing non-members to join for a day.   The courses need the revenue dollars.

Thanks, that's funny. My aunt lives in Dallas as well. Wie komme es, dass Du Deutsch sprichst? German is a difficult language to learn!

I was telling my 95 year old neighbor about you. She lived in Bremen from 1924 until 1951.

Oh wow, that was well before my time. But she obviously is from a hanse town. People of these cities are said to be very good  merchants resp. own the traits which make a good merchant. Tell her I said Hi!

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      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.

      This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.

      No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
