Hi!

Came across your forum while browsing for golf forums online and thought I'd sign up!

I'm from Long Island, NY and I basically grew up playing Bethpage State Park's golf courses since the 70's, (when the whole place was basically a dump).

But it's changed over the years. And even though the "Golden Age" of being able to play 72 holes on a weekend there are long gone, I'm still loyal to the Red Course, (where I have my handicap), and of course the Black Course.

And yes, it's murder from the U.S. Open tees, (best I have managed at that length so far is an 84), but I can shoot in the 70's there from the "regular" tees.

Anyway, this looks like an interesting forum and I hope that I can learn something and maybe pass on a tip or two, or just schmooze.

Rafi, Flap, and I (and a fourth) are going to play the Black towards the end of the month. Flap is in your area, so maybe he'll see this thread and comment.

    • 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. 
    • I replaced a 3 driving iron as it was called. If I hit it clean it went close to 180 like the hybrid does but it was very inconsistent. I had to aim left because it would fade and I could never hit it dead nuts straight. We have a lot of wind being by the ocean so a left to right wind was suicidal with that club for me. I don't have a lot of Shot Scope data so far that would show yardage as far as dispersion or proximity to hole goes, but so far everything is staying relatively tight. I am not spraying the ball, I feel like it goes where I aim, any thing off is user error and not the club. 
    • Ok, great. Best of luck to you in the future. I gave you the answer for significantly less than $20k though, just sayin.
