Welcome Erik! I have never visited the "home country of golf" but have a friend who will be visiting soon. Please have fun wandering around the site and make yourself at home here at The Sand Trap.

We are a great crowd and LOVE GOLF! What equipment do you use? Do you play only 9 holes at a time or do you also play regulation?

Sincerely,
Stacy Solomon


Cheers for the welcome. I use texan golf clubs, but I have a Howson driver. I had two clubs which broke, but got free replacements.

I only play about 7 holes at a time usually. The reason being that at my home course, juniors need a handicap of 12 or less to play the 18 hole course. I play the 9 hole, but usually skip 7 and 8. The reason for this is that it is a large hill, 6 takes you down, then 7 back up, then 8 down and 9 is flat more or less. So, you can just skip from the 6th green to the 9th tee.

Welcome to The Sand Trap! You will definitely learn some stuff here and probably even have some fun debating with all of the other crazy golfers.

Playing in Scotland is definitely on my short list of things to do before I die, so hopefully I can make my way across the pond sooner rather than later.

Again, welcome aboard and see you around.

ok, no more picture of Mrs. Woods on the forum please!

But seriously - welcome. You don't even know how lucky you are - you live in scottland, you play golf at 14... you have whole life of golf ahead of you. The misery, frustration, anger, helplessness, fury, rage, nervous breakdowns for years and years to come... I envy you

Cruden Bay is a great course. Are you going to play the 18? or the junior course? The 4th hole out there is awesome as is the 5th. 17 has a huge hump in the middle of the fairway. Great course. Not very long but not easy.

    • They could do that, but then it could then be absurdly low spinning off the tee. Think the LSDR from TaylorMade years ago. If you hit up at all, you could get like 500 rpm drives. There were issues with the ball just dying because it had no spin.  I also question if it will interfere with the yardage between the driver and the mini-driver. 3-woods, you can get them out there near a driver. With this being more like a driver, would there big a huge gap between the mini-driver and a 5-wood or long iron?  I don't know. I guess if you don't really use your 3-wood that much, findings something you would use 3-4x more often might be useful instead of having a club you never use. I've thought about taking the 3-wood out of my bag for a while. I hardly use it.  Hey, I am sure some will find it useful. I am not going to spend probably $500 dollars for a mini driver. Their 3-wood is around $400, and the driver is at $625. So, I would think this being a niche product would probably split the difference.  though, I just had a thought. This driver is only about 20 cc larger than the 975D driver that was my first driver I ever owned. So for nostalgia I’m kind of interested in just ditching the PXG driver and go with us. 🤣

    • Day 20: 12/30/2024 I've been working on my swing in front of the mirror today. Spent a lot of time at slow speed, mid speed and a couple at full speed. I just came back in from the garage where I practiced my PPJ swing by hitting about 10 balls with the 6-iron into my net. 
    • I'm just guessing here. But couldn't Titleist build a mini-driver with a very low center of gravity? Then it would work off the deck. The deep face wouldn't be as problematic.  I'm just spit-balling. I know nothing about this product.
