The site is golfcheapestsale.com.

The prices seem way too good to be true and you all know how the saying goes...

I know there are a lot of counterfeit clubs out there and I'm wondering if anyone here has had experience with this site.

I'm fairly new and I'm looking to upgrade from my cheap John Daly iron set that I got for $80.  Looking to go to the K15 iron set that the website advertised but I don't want to get scammed.

Thank you.

Smells like BS to me.  I wouldnt give my CC info to them.  All you have to do is look at the use of the English language. Its off.  Look at the "contact us" page, no info.  They even say they ship a certain way to avoid import taxes.

Avoid.

i was noticing a lot of sites that had great deals on clubs that definitely were shady. if they get a couple people to give their info and then shut down the site and open another one i'm sure it's worth it to them.

Geez we need a damn sticky for these sites. They are all bs if the the price is that low for new, titleist and pings let alone any other brand. However they take western union so it has to be legit!

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.

      Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.

      No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.

      Spark League at Severna Park Golf

      By Paloma ·

      Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area?

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
