I've always battled with keeping my rain pants (also great for cold weather) in my golf bag. Even folded they're pretty bulky so I'd take them out. Then of course when it does rain while you're playing, you forget to put them back in your bag.

I came up with this idea the other day. My wife has one of those small vacuum seal machines for use on food bags. You basically take a 1 gallon bag that has a vacuum port on it and use the machine to suck out all the air. Great for storing food for long periods.

So I took my pants and stuff them into a bag. I think used the vacuum machine and it shrunk it down to about the size of an inch. Worked really well. Now the pants fit nicely into my golf bag. If I ever need them I just unzip the bag. Works great!

Mid way throuhg your post I was going to suggest that. They work great at minimizing the amount of space needed for something. I keep an extra pair of socks, shirt, and FootJoy short sleve rain wind breaker in my bag.

Thats a pretty good idea, I personally always keep my pants and extra rain gear in the trunk of my car and only pull them out when rain is in the forcast but i tip my hat to you for thinking outside the box

Who needs rain gear. Can't get any more wet that soaking. I say get some rain gloves and have at it.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

That may work in Texas but I promise you, 50* and playing the rain in Michigan sucks!!!!! I'll do anything I can to stay dry.

In SoCal, when there is rain coming NEXT WEEK it's all over the news so we have plenty of time to prepare. In TX, that rain randomly come down in the middle of summer and it's still HOT out. lol

Yea, just keep a towel and a change of clothes in your car. Should be good to go.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By Vinsk ·

      I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please.

      Day 298: range session during lunch. Hit balls for about 20 minutes, focusing on start line and curve. Much better than last night. Then did a stack putting session, which was solid (for me).

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By Elmer ·

      You advertise LIV as "golf but louder" You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place. You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors. What type of behavior do you expect?
