OK so I would really like to actually HIT a set of clubs before i buy them. I went to golfsmith thinking theyd have half decent mats. No way it was like a strip less than a foot wide and a hard plastic that was immpossible for me to hit off of.

Does anyone know of a place that lets you demo clubs on either a nicer mat similiar to ones at ranges(which i still dont like that much), or even outdoors?

My local course doesn't really sell any clubs or anything so thats out of the question some places may but you might have to be a member so that might be out the door as well.

What does anybody else do when they want to TEST clubs before buying.

Theres a golf shop in my local area that has its own driving range, so you can try any club before you buy it.
Also, theres about 5 country clubs/golf coures in within 20 miles of where I live that deal in Titleist and they all will let you try a club out on their driving range before you buy.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

Well I'm looking to try mizunos and i know a few places around here that sell clubs and let you try before you buy but none deal with mizuno.

What I'm really looking for is a general "store" or i might just have to call all the courses around here and ask..

Did you go on Mizuno's website and use the dealer locator? That might point you to a local golf course that deals in Mizuno.

Hmmm, I wrote a post about golfclubdemo-dot-com. But when when I tried to post, it said that it would be visible after moderator approval.

Not sure what I did/did not do. I don't recall anything in the welcome/faq/etc posts about this sort of occurence, so if someone could let me know, I'd appreciate it. That way I can do it/not do it next time.

Thanks.

My golfsmith has nice mats. So does Edwin Watts. As does Dicks in my opinion. My club that I belong to, lets you demo their sets on the course.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
