Has anybody ever travelled Europe and stayed at hostels with sticks.  

Thinking of an itinerary like this.  Arrive in the morning get checked in.  One day doing touristy stuff and hitting at least one course.

I'm not opposed to shared dorms at hostels but may just hold on to my sticks like a lover or find storage otherwise will find a private room at the hostels where affordable.

I've not been to Europe.   I've stayed at a hostel in Chicago and if the ones in Europe are like Chicago, find storage for your clubs.   You'll have peace of mind that they will be there when you are ready to play.

I’ve never stayed at a hostel in Europe but I know there are lockers. The kicker is they’re not big enough for clubs. 
 

That’s a lot of stops to be dragging clubs around. I have a car when I’m in Europe and even with a car clubs were a pain. 

Maybe limit where you play? Like play in mostly Western Europe. Use Stasher when you go to Eastern Europe. Bounce is another service similar to Stasher.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Way back during the early to middle 90's I was living over in Europe. I had only been playing golf only a short time at this point, but the golf bug bit me hard, so I played a lot. I tried to play in a number of different countries. What I often did was to let the course know that I needed to drop my clubs off at their course early. I'd make a tee-time on the phone, tell them I'd like to drop my clubs off at their course in the morning, or sometimes even a day or two early. 

Every course except one let me do it. So, I'd swing by the course. Introduce myself. Remind them of my conversation with them and drop my clubs off. Then I'd head off and do what ever I had to do. I'd come back later that day or sometimes a day or two later and play. 

 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

    • Yea, I’ve kinda of been off the sugar hate train for a while.
    • References for my debate with Gary Taubes on The Joe Rogan Experience and Why Sugar Did Not Cause the Obesity Epidemic Sugar has been blamed for causing the obesity epidemic by many ‘experts’, but Dr. Layne Norton explains why it’s unlikely sugar caused the obesity crisis
    • Day 111 - 2025-01-19 Got to GE particularly early today, before Junior Elite, and hit some balls before that. My left thumb was sore like it was about a month ago, which was odd. It feels better now as I type this up nearly 12 hours later, but it was sore last night and still this morning.
    • Day 260 (19 Jan 25) - Woke to misty rain and was thinking that I would be limited to inside work today.  Late afternoon break in the weather (mild temps and a few rays of sunshine) led to a 15 mins or so of hitting the 58deg wedge around the backyard at 10-20yds.  Simple drill goal - "don't get flippy" but rather rotate smoothly through.  This was key as I tend to want to help higher lofted wedges 58/60 - today was solidly on the smoother side of execution.  
    • I'm inclined to agree - I used to putt with a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 and to aim it straight, it had to look like it was about a foot right from 10 feet. I switched to a mallet (Odyssey Eleven I have now) and I can aim that far more easily. What looks straight is straight. I did watch a video with a coach on youtube who was suggesting that your eye position relative to the ball affects where you think the putter is aimed. So he would line up the putter for a player, then have them move around until it looked like the putter was aimed at the target and then that would be where he had them set up to it. I suspect that people move where they stand over time and that might cause the aiming of the putter to change over time.  Funny thing is I asked Sam Hahn a very similar question myself in September and he gave quite a different response to this. LAB offers more alignment line options than any putter manufacturer I have ever seen (I guess outside of a handful of bespoke artisanal type places) - I wonder why they do that if the alignment lines don't make much of a difference.
