Wry sense of humor

Lee Trevino for similar reasons as Vijay.
Gotta love Jack--nothing harder than achieving ultimate success and maintaining it
Gary Player-charismatic, wore all black even in 100+ degrees (stubbornly idealistic)
Seve-a magician
Tiger-Most talented and hardest working is a rare combination. Do I love his personality and vanilla, nonconfrontational statements? No.

the only golfer i've ever seen that made me go "oh my god" was ben hogan. players like tiger and anthony kim get a "yeah, they're pretty f'n good" from me, but ben hogan is the only player that absolutely floored me when i watched footage of him playing. his accuracy was just unreal.

plus he's a constant reference point for players like tiger and nicklaus - they both say ben hogan was, essentially, the best ever.

    • 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.
