Worst I'll do is slam my club into some rough away from people. That happens once or twice a year. Then I move on.

I used to be a hot head, but came to the realization that I'm not that good, so I'm going to hit some bad shots.  I actually lost a putter one time.  And it was during a match!  I had my opponent down

Yep, it's amazing what a few brews will do to cool me out. This is my first season with my cooler equiped Ping cart bag. I stash 1 16oz Coors Light in there to get me by until the beverage carts get t

I'm an early riser and often play by myself weekday mornings when almost no one ever golfs on the course I play at. Consequently, I rarely ever find myself getting angry especially since I am usually in learn-mode, not compete-mode. Although I did have a bad episode a few weeks ago...

It was hot, I was tired and playing hungry (bad... bad combination for me). I got stuck on this one downhill par 3 hole onto an island green. My first tee shot was a push slice... second shot same... third shot same... at this point I officially resigned myself mentally from the hole, and set a goal to just hit the damn ball solidly and watch it fly straight. I literally lost 10 balls on this tee shot. Furious with the fact I could not straighten out my swing, for whatever reason, I snapped and flung my iron as hard as I could at the ground and watched it snap in 2. Which for all intents and purposes made me feel a lot better... had a good laugh at that sight, collected what remained of my sanity, and walked back to my car.

      PING I540 Versus Titleist T250

      By boogielicious · Posted

      that is an excellent approach. I did that with my last set. I made a few 7 irons from different heads and shafts. Getting a feel for how they play on the course is the right idea. Let us know how it goes.

      I’m glad the USGA booted some of the hecklers. It’s getting out of hand. I wish the networks wouldn’t mic the crowd to give those idiots a platform.

      PING I540 Versus Titleist T250

      By 3puttjay · Posted

      New member here, and I have decided to upgrade my clubs. I have been playing for a long time but these last 10 years I have had to put four kids through college. So I've played a few rounds a year and some years have not played at all. I am currently playing Titleist 716 AP2's with Rifle 6.5 steel shafts and Winn grips. I used to hit my 7 iron around 165 yds until just 5 years ago. I turned 62 this year and noticed I can barely get my 7 iron to 145 yds. I went for a fitting to try out some new player distance irons. I don't think I need game improvement irons because I'm pretty straight and rarely try to work a ball (if I'm working a ball, then I most definetely did something wrong to get there). I tried a bunch of irons (Callaway, Mizuno, PXG, Taylormade, Srixon, Ping, and Titleist) and I kept coming back to the Ping and Titleist. They just felt right and really looked good when lining up a shot. The Ping, by far, went the longest of all the irons. The Titleist was a close second in distance. Both felt buttery smooth through impact. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with these irons. I was getting 160 yds with a nice smooth swing (81 mph swing speed). I know I'm asking a lot of my clubs but my last fitting was 27 years ago and I ended up with some Cleveland TA3's or TA2's forged irons with Dynamic Gold S300 (swing speed 87 mph). I really love the feel of my AP2's and the place I'm going to purchase from is going to make a 7 iron in both Ping and Titleist for me to test on real grass. I'm pretty certain it's going to be either one. They're both identical in price for a set of 5-PW. I'm going to forego a 4 iron and get another 4 hybrid to go along with my 3 hybrid. Any and all replies are welcome.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.
