Voted: 3-6 I've usually got a sleeve plus a couple (1 in play and maybe a leftover from the previous sleeve). I use a pushcart so I guess I could carry as many as I want, just a habit from my carrying days I suppose.

New TRUE Linkswear Elements Shoe
bradsul replied to boogielicious's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I'm curious about this myself, my Motions wore out so fast it was ridiculous. @iacas thanks for the great review! I'm glad to be able to jump back on the TRUE bandwagon, I've been worried about new shoes for this year, absolutely nothing was appealing to my minimalist preferences. Also your insight into the sizing just saved me some headaches! #bringbackthesensei -
Nothing for me except on a rare occasion (charity scrambles, etc).

True (haha!) but I personally didn't buy them for that and it didn't bother me at all. When I got them I had the Tours to fall back on for wet days. But I still wear my Sensei almost daily plus I have a pair in my golf bag to wear at the simulator place I'm a member of during the winter. Now I can't get either one, makes me wish I had stocked up, don't know why I was so short-sighted. -

This is my concern as well, I had the same problem, I've already thrown out my motions and they got about 60 rounds on them, my Sensei are still going strong, they just look beat up. I wonder if there needs to be some kind of campaign to bring back the original Sensei without any improvements or tweaks or anything? They were perfection as far as I'm concerned. -

I still use mine a lot. Like @iacas I find the hybrids launch too high most of the time and I don't want to have to hit a bit of a knockdown every shot just to get a 'normal' ball flight. I can still launch my 3i over 30yds peak height so I'm not too worried about it either way just yet.

No glove. I use full corded grips and don't find one is necessary. During the stupid humid summers up here I just wipe my hands down on my towel and that's always sufficient. I do have a pair of raingrip gloves for rainy days when even the corded grips aren't good enough.

To Driving Iron or not to driving iron
bradsul replied to onthehunt526's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I carry an Adams Super DHy 18o which is sort of a cross between a driving iron and a hybrid. It doesn't have much forgiveness compared to a normal hybrid but if you're talking about using a driving iron that's not something you're likely worried about anyway. I quite like it as its low spinning, lower trajectory flight just ignores the wind and then rolls out a ton. It's not awesome off the deck, but off a tee it's a monster. -
I play a few courses that constantly do this. I got around it by always playing the closest possible tee box to the one I'm playing on the score card. So if I'm playing blue but the closest tee to the blue marker is the black, I'm going to play black on that hole. Once I started doing that on those courses I found I was shooting much closer to what I should have been based on the rating.

Canada, so yes. Most courses around me are closed or closing as we speak. My simulator membership gets me though the long winter.

According to this video (it's around the 4:30 mark if you want to skip right to it) from 2013 to 2015 he dropped from 47th to 126th in strokes gained putting. I'm sure that hasn't helped any!

Our tee boxes tend to be hard as a rock so I'll often go through a tee for every drive. If I'm not using a driver though I will usually just knock up a bit of turf. I don't use a tee for irons and I rarely use one for my 3W. When I do I just pick up a tee bit off the ground.

How many fairway woods? Which ones and why?
bradsul replied to onthehunt526's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Just a 15o 3W for me. I jump right to 3i from there. I found I was never hitting anything in between those 2 ever so I opted for the extra wedge. I will swap the 3W for a 2i (adams proto driving iron) if it's really windy so I guess sometimes the answer is 0. But usually the 2i stays in the truck and it's the 3W. -
I still carry my 3i. I can launch it nice and high off the deck (peak avg is ~34yds) so I don't see any reason to take it out. I also have a 2i driving iron but it's one of those Adams Proto's so I don't think that counts, I voted 3i.

Got my father one of these, he has a tough time bending down into the cup these days. He found the suction cup annoying, he said he could feel it rubbing on his wrist. He loves this thing, folds nicely out of the way.

Until I show up and the gates are locked! It varies year to year, hopefully this year will be early November at the earliest. Simulators for me all winter after that.

I use a clicgear push cart. I play 5-6 rounds per week during the season and walk all of them. Carrying I got back and shoulder soreness and I started feeling fatigued by the end of every round. With the push cart I never have that issue plus I can bring along rain gear, lots of water, etc etc. I really enjoyed carrying (I have a ping moonlight for playing a quick 9 holes) but for 18 holes it's no contest for me, push cart all the way.

How many balls do you hit, on average, at the range?
bradsul replied to No Mulligans's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
One large. Any more than that and I find my form begins breaking down. Around here a large is ~110 balls or so. Normally by the time I get to ~70 I'm about done with whatever I was working on so I'll practice wedge shots at the target posts with the rest. -
Looks like it was actually in 1954, Pat Fletcher according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Open_(golf) We have a ton of golfers in Canada but not too many seem to make it to the highest levels sadly.Graham DeLaet is our current hopeful I think!

TRUE Linkswear 2015 Lineup
bradsul replied to jmanbooyaa's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
My guess is this would be pretty difficult without a really stiff sole. Otherwise I could see horrible pressure points all across your feet on even moderately firm ground. -
Do you enter a score every single time you play?
bradsul replied to SoundandFury's topic in Golf Talk
I post everything that is played according to the rules of golf (to the best of my knowledge). I have at least one practice round per week as I seem to end up by myself Friday afternoons with an essentially empty course - I play 3 balls and don't keep score.
