I am finally getting a chance to get on a swing monitor this afternoon. I am taking the wife out to dinner this evening in Columbia, SC and I will have a chance to get by Dick's or Golf Headquarters. Which should I go to? The last time I was in the Golf Headquarters the guys working there wouldn't give me the time of day, so I think I will go to Dick's. Are they as accurate as a "dedicated" golf shop?

Thanks for the opinions. I hate asking these type of questions. (like what type of irons should I get???)

I would stay away from Dicks at all costs. The people at Golf Headquarters are A-holes. I used to live in Columbia, and never found a good pro shop to have any work done at. If you had to pick one or the other I would pick Golf Headquarters, but they are both pretty bad.

PS.... I have only been to the GH on Harbison, so I am not sure of the quality of their other locations.

I never said she was going to go with me to hit a couple. I have already planned to drop her of at the mall. Bwinger that is the only one that I know of in Columbia. They are worthless but I will try to put up with them. They always look at me like what are you doing here?

Thanks for the replies!

There is one over on Two Notch also. I get the same thing from them every time I have been in there. Its like you're bothering them buy going in there for anything. Made me take my business elsewhere. Good luck. Maybe someone that actually wants to help will be working when you go in.

Check one of these two guys out:

http://www.proclubmakers.org/pages/index.cfm?ID=1321

http://www.proclubmakers.org/pages/index.cfm?ID=1803

I found them through the Professional Clubmakers Society site. They're both PCS "Class A" certified club makers (the highest certification they award), and will no doubt give you a much better (and more personable) fitting than a pump-'em-out chain like Dick's.

Good luck, whatever you decide. And if you do go to an independant fitter, ask HIM what irons you should buy. Chances are he'll have a better handle on which clubhead will fit your swing best.

Kudos on taking the wife out

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
