Wonder what this means for Ryan Moore. I'm not a knowledgeable equipment person, but they were the company I first noticed who had a wide variety of custom grind options, or at least presented it most prevalently on its web site.

GolfWRX has learned that Scratch Golf, a boutique golf equipment company founded in 2003, will go out of business. The company faced financial difficulties in recent years, which led to a company restructuring that “didn’t work out,” according to founder and outgoing President Ari Techner.

I believe Moore is playing Parsons Golf Irons -- the new company formed by the godaddy.com owner -- who hired Ping people to design his clubs, which are uber-expensive. I suspect he  will go with Parsons as they make driver, fairway, irons, and wedges. Parsons are the clubs with extremely customized weighting in the clubs.

Yeah Moore left Scratch after the 2010 season.

hey were the company I first noticed who had a wide variety of custom grind options,

...which is probably one of the reasons they are going out of business.

If there is one thing that average golfers do NOT need, it's "custom grinds".

 

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Does anyone know of companies similar to Scratch? Or are they coming back one day?

I was giving them a look because I am enamored with the idea of custom irons - stamping, colors, etc. It's pretty easy to find wedge offerings among the major brands and boutiques, but irons have proven difficult to discover with Google. 

 

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood sir, and I never slice.

They aren't coming back. Look into Edel. That's my suggestion.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
