Howdy everyone on The Sand Trap. My name is Ron and I am new to this site. (actually I was on here for about 2 seconds a year ago but did not maintain my attendence!) I have a dear friend (subpar) who introduced me to this site a while back and now that I am back, I look forward to reading all of the interesting topics on this site. I am a Golf Instructor, (as I'm sure there are many on here) in the Los Angeles area. I hope to meet everyone and I look forward to interacting with my fellow golfnutz! I'm sure everyone on this site is as crazy about this game as I am.

I'm sure (I will try my best not too) I will make mistakes in posting and chatting so feel free to set me straight should I get out of line or do something that is not protocol.

Teacher, going to law school soon!

I work at Duke University as an "Accounting Specialist" in the Auxiliary Services department, which handles all of the Universities money that's not related to tuition, grants etc. Everything from parking, to concessions from sports events, to the dining units on campus. I'm currently using their employee tuition reimbursement program to get an accounting degree.

    • Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
    • Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.
    • Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.
    • The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
    • I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
