I love golf....a bit surprising cus theres a lot of things I hate about golf. First and foremost is time. 18 holes should never under any circumstances take more than 3.5 hours period!!! Everyone seems to think if I line up this putt, if I take three more practice swings, if I stand paused over the ball another 30 seconds Ill hit the best shot ever! Reality is your just taking longer to suck. 2: Golf instruction is a joke!! How can one learn the game when two teachers cant even agree upon the proper way to teach it. In all the things Ive learned and studied thru the years I cant think of such a thing anywhere else, sports or otherwise. Instruction is also too expensive imho. 3: Golf carts are great but it just kills me that you cant hardly walk golf courses anymore. That should be a players choice. 4: Guys and gals who cant hit a golf ball more than 100 yards playing the tips.

**2 is not meant to hurt or offend. While there is no standardized instruction, Im sure somewhere there are many talented teachers out there and even a select few who charge reasonable prices to teach this great game to the masses. And my hat is off to all of you out there.

That it takes 4-5hours per round and travel time. Makes it tough to dedicate the amount of time i want to spend on it. Wish more courses were designed with 6holesX3  layout so you can finish them

I wouldn't say I hate anything about golf, but I am addicted to it so that could be why.  There are annoyances like slow play and rabbit players who push on groups in front of them even though there's

Of course we don't hate golf overall, only on certain days. When you have a bad day, what do you hate most about golf? For me it's probably when starting the round off well, thinking "this i

Slow play. Hands down the worst part about golf, personally.

I would always turn and stare at one of my playing partners if I did that. That way if the owner looked out, they would think my buddy did it!

      Hybrids

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
