RocketSauce - first off... take it easy with the huge high-res pics, just the one of the bag would've been sufficient haha.

WOW! first of all, i dont not carry a 3 iron (see signature), therefore, i do not carry 15 clubs either. i carry 14. second, the SeeMore putter IS shown in the bag, it just has a headcover on it. thats why i posted a seperate photo of it. third, i dont need 3 wedges. i use my 58 out of the sand and as a lob wedge. lots of ppl only carry 2 wedges. i also think your ratings would be a little higher if you actually hit some of the clubs in my bag. its kind of hard to give someone a rating on a club you've never even hit, wouldn't you think???

In the picture of your bag, there's a 3-iron. I'm assuming that's why he said you have 15 clubs. Calm down, man.

Yes, thank you Grndslmhttr, calm down RocketSauce. Just giving my opinion and trying to have some fun with it. Feel free to trash my bag, I couldn't care less but I would like a good laugh

I thought the putter in your picture was the hybrid. After looking I realized you don't have the hybrid in your bag. Either way I was just trying to poke a little fun. All in I only rated things I liked (or disliked) the look of or have heard things about, because I've never played anything in your bag. If you can't take the heat.... (again this is a joke said with a smile)

I would agree. I haven't hit the new titleist drivers but I've never hit their drivers and not liked them. Very solid bag.

third, i dont need 3 wedges. i use my 58 out of the sand and as a lob wedge. lots of ppl only carry 2 wedges.

I don't see a 58 in your bag, I see a 60 and a 52. And I was only suggesting getting a high bounce wedge designed for the sand. More often than not 52 and 60 wedges have lower bounces, but you can get them with high bounce. Just giving my thoughts...

the 60 is bent to 58 with a bounce of 12. and the reason i carry the woods/hybrid i do is because of the course i play. i use every one of them every round. 1 par 5 is reachable with my 3 wood, the other is reachable with my 5 wood, and 2 of the par 4's i use my 3 wood. so thats why i carry a 3 and a 5 wood. oh, i can take criticism, but the reasons you trashed my bag just didnt make any sense (except for the FT-i which i understand some people just cant stand the looks of square drivers). if i did what you suggested i wouldnt be able to reach 2 of the par 5's on my course in 2. you gotta remember that theres a reason why most players carry the clubs that they do, maybe not 20+ handicappers, but better players usually have reasons for carrying the arsenal they carry. if i played YOUR course or a different course then yeah, maybe id carry a 4 wood instead of a 3 wood and a 5 wood, 3 wedges, etc, etc etc... i mean, if you are basing your ratings on looks alone, thats one thing, but if you are rating someones bag by which particular clubs are in it, i dont think that makes much sense because you/me dont know what type of course they are playing. so telling someone they should play 3 wedges instead of 2, one wood instead of 2 doesnt make any sense. someones bag is usually set-up for the course(s) they play. btw, i shot a 74 today with the clubs in my bag so it works

It seemed to me as though you came off rather passive-aggressive, but I'll just drop it.

i would give it an 8.5. I like the irons and wedges, but i think that your woods need to to updated. I used to play the sasquatch 2's and the 909's are night and day compared. However if it works for you, then great.

In my Bag Boy SB-50

Driver: 9/10. I would have given it a 10 if I hit it before. I like Titleist drivers, so 9.

3 Wood: 7/10. Adams is a really good brand, but I don't like the a3 XTD. It's just me. Hybrid - 10/10. Tour Edge Exotics. Enough said. Irons: 8/10. I'm not sure which ones these are (Cavity, blade, etc.), but they are very nice clubs from what I've heard. Wedges: 9/10. If only you didn't have the f2 in there! Vokey SM are great wedges IMO. f2 wedges, I'm not so sure about. Putter: 9/10. I've hit the Rife and while I didn't fall in love with it, many very good players play it. It's also customizable and that's a huge plus in my book. Overall: 9/10 IMO.

    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
