Obviously it depends on the specific local golf market, but I sure want to believe that you ultimately win more repeat business with a reputation for reasonable round times than you lose by driving away the snails.

Atkinson CC in NH. Reviews were from here but only the two I cited were recent. Don't get me wrong, I don't think Atkinson is ideal, if I wanted I suppose I could find negative things to say about Atkinson, I just don't think it's called for ... glass houses, stones and such ...

Gone as far as suggesting we skip a hole to get back behind the group in front. The quality of the golf I play is directly related to how frustrated I get. I'll walk off before enduring a round with someone causing problems.

Good for you! I can't seem to find the right words, tone, or appropriate time to say the right things. The second time the marshal came by in the situation I cited, he actually did say if we weren't in position next time by he would have us pick up and get in position, can't repeat what guy #1 said to that.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?

      PXG Brand

      I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..

      Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By DewSweeper09 · Posted

      I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
