New purchases are exciting—until you realize one or both of these things happened:

1) The product turned out to suck

2) It’s a week later, the honeymoon is over, and you’re now over it and will never use it again

Once in a while though, you buy something that you end up loving, and using, for a long time—making the price you paid for it seem like nothing compared to how much you got out of it.

What’s something you own that has stood the test of time and proven to be completely worth the price? Make sure to include a link in your recommendation so we can check it out, too.

Soooooooo ... What's the Best Golf Product You Own?

The implement that helps my game more than any other is probably my range finder.  So, I'm gonna with go my Bushnell range finder being the best golf product I own.

My Edel Putter. Though the Bushnell range finder is a close 2nd.

I cannot pick one club, but substituting quality hybrids for my 2 thru 6 irons has kept this 64 year old in the game.

I can't pick one. But I guess I'll rank them:

  1. Edel Putter.
  2. Edel Wedges.
  3. Leupold Rangefinder.
  4. GAME GOLF.

The instruction version…

  1. Analyzr. ;-)
  2. Casio FH-25.

I find your 1st 2 choices interesting given your proven and much promoted concept that the long game is most important in scoring.  I'd have figured a favorite driver being #1.   We all have favorite sticks and a putter becomes like a little brother you can lean on in times of need (no one knows that better than me) but I am curious.

I change drivers and whatnot all the time.

Yeah, something else foreign to me.  Takes me so long to adjust to a new one but I get it, I have quite a few friends who show up with a new driver every month.  Wish I could do that.

My irons (5i-LW) are my best golf product. I have had them quite a while now. They do everything my swing tells them to do..............

My 7W is right up there with my irons. It's my "go to" club in all kinds of situations. 

As for "indestructible tank like" quality, my Clic-Gear trolley is going to out last me I'm sure. It's one of the originals.

Cleveland 56 wedge. When hit right it seems to almost push the ball up in the air.

My old Taylormade "S" has been retired to practice shots in the living room.

 

 

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

True linkswear shoes for me.

Clubs are nothing special.

Golfshot GPS app. Paid 30$ for one-time fee some 4 years back or so. Very useful, and handy in the pocket all the time. Gives clear distances to hazards etc, handier than reaching out for rangefinder. 

Second is my Ben Hogan irons. Got them for 150$, served well for 7 years.

My New Slazenger Cart Bag, I got it as a gift from my mom's boyfriend last week it's very similar to the SZR 14 way, I'm on a budget so anytime I get something new whether it is a new club, bag, or attire I'm hyped and that hype carries over to the course, I only wish it were a stand bag but I'm used to carrying my bag from hole to hole and this is way lighter then my old Wilson Staff Bag which has been relegated to storage for spare balls and clubs.

Stand-alone hand held GPS (Garmin G5). Over the years I have not wanted to trade it in or switch it to my phone as the increase in the phone plan would add up a lot quicker than the cost of the stand alone unit.

Titleist 910 D2 Driver.  I'm two or three generations away from the current model, but I have no reason to change.  There's no substitute for consistently hitting solid drives in play, mostly in the short grass.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.
    • Wordle 1,013 2/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Thought I was gonna be a big shot today...  🙂    Nice Job!
    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
