Great Site and Forum.

Look forward to talking to everyone of you.

I was at the PGA At Baltusrol Golf Club (1st Round) What a beautiful course.

I even toured the 17th hole, so dang longg!



As you can see my signature... I have tried 5 brands of balls this year. Soon 6.

Those 5 are: Maxfli, Srixon, Titleist, Bridgestone, Nike, (and Soon, Callaway)


But, I think the Callaway just might outdo all those.

Yeah, my dad calls me crazy for trying all those brands!

Welcome... hope you enjoyed your trip to Baltusrol. You lucky dog. There's a bunch of pretty golf savvy people around here, so I'm sure you'll get a lot out of this forum.

Yeah, as for balls, I like the Callaway. They look weird with their honey comb look, but they spin great around the greens. I usually end up spending less for a Noodle, Titleist HVC Spin, Nike TA2 Spin (discontinued) as they check up fairly well on the greens. They stop but don't back up and that works for me for less money.

Looking foreword to having you around.

Why thank you, Jeff.

I did have some time at the PGA.

As for balls, Yeah, the Callaway does look a tad funky, but, they do work better in the wind...


BTW, you want a GREAT BALL FOR THE MONEY? DUNLOP LOCO PRO HT!!


Spins like a Pro V1, cost? 26.50!!!

Welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy this board, as well as the site. You will definitely see all kinds of opinions around here, and that's a good thing.

I'm not a big "golf ball" fan so-to-speak. Like Jeff, I usually just buy the Noodle or Top Flite Infinity. I buy my golf balls from Wal-Mart. :) I'm going to try some of those Dunlop Loco balls though.

Anyway, enough rambling. Welcome again.

    • Greg Norman reveals plan for LIV Golf teams to have their own courses LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman wants teams to follow Premier League clubs in having their own home games. Here you go. Enjoy.
    • Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
    • It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.  
    • I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?
    • A Mevo is 500. Comes with little decals to hit balls inside too.
