While looking at the new Taylormade SLDR driver, my buddy and I had a great idea. There's a small white/silver strip that is on the back of the driver, so why not have it light up when you hit the sweet spot? There could be interchangeable colors and all that. I think that they would sell super fast. Good idea or no?

The difference between Erin Hills and an outside company is like a family business to a chain. Erin Hills employs caddies on their own. This allows them to make their own rules, like being able to change out bags whenever they want or even have a drink on the course. I work for a caddie company that is contracted (right word for that?) for Whistling Straits. This is a chain business that supplies caddies for courses around the U.S. and with rules made by a headquarters or whatever you would call it. That means no drinking, no change bags unless their isn't a stand, have a punch clock for keeping pace and a bunch of other rules. We need the same image upheld at Whistling Straits as Pinehurst, Scottsdale, and Augusta. Not sure if that made sense or not... And yes, it is flat out working! It's not just a walk on the golf course...

Does it even matter? Just admire them.

No problem man. Make sure you get a cookie and granola bar from Whistling and Blackwolf courses. Homemade and incredible.

I think the two best are the Ricky Fowler one and "Sneeeedeker"

With Blackwolf Run, be prepared for lightning fast greens with four breaks in each putt...not exaggerating. I highly, highly recommend taking a caddie or forecaddie as you will most likely be pretty lost without one. They both have a bunch of blind shots, the River has more, which can be daunting when you automatically assume there is a Dye pot bunker on the other side. As with the Whistling Straits courses, stay on the fairway or you're in trouble. Both the River and Meadow Valley courses are awesome. 99% of people golf pretty bad their first time out, so don't be discouraged. I don't have much experience with Erin Hills, so I can't say much about it. Just be prepared for a long and tough walk. Very long. The caddies there are more relaxed and informal because they are less restricted on rules (employed by Erin Hills and not an outside company). A lot of elevated tee boxes so you will be able to drive the ball pretty far. I've only golfed The Bull once about eight years ago. I remember that I wasn't that impressed with it, but maybe that's because it was high school and I was golfing bad that day. It's still a pretty great course. Most importantly, have fun.

I use either GolfLogix or FreeCaddie for Android. Both free and get the job done (for me at least).

I'm a sucker when I go to golf stores... Let's see, I got a pair of pants, a hat (that makes about 15 now), a putter grip and a glove last time.

You have to look good to play good I agree with buying the gear on eBay. I've never bought a new club yet (excluding my $20 64 degree). I think that's something that new people should learn to do. Used clubs are half the price and most can be found in near mint condition.

Don't just look at the line of the ball, look at the entire green. Is there a definitive way that the green slopes? Walk around the putt and kind of "snapshot" what the slope looks like from different angles. Go to the opposite side of the ball and see if the break is the same on both sides. I think that reading greens is easily the toughest part of any golf game. Just spend time on different greens and practice and you will get better.

Ha, that's what one of my golfers told me one day as he cheated all day

I like the way you think. I'm going to use that excuse next time I buy something expensive :) "You know, if I use these clubs for two years, it's like I'm paying $1 a day."

Nicely put. I will occasionally fluff my lie or take another off the tee, but only when I'm playing by myself or with my girlfriend. Any other time I play fair. People expect honest play from me and I expect the same from them.

I didn't know so many people disliked Bubba. My favorites: Bubba Fowler Scott Woods (I know that's four) Least favorites: Michelson Sergio As for any Ben Crane hate, just watch this and fall in love with him...

Sorry, I put the first two on Instagram and I like putting on the stereotypical Instagram filters. And those would be... Blackwolf Run, Meadows course - Hole 14 tee Blackwolf Run, Meadows course - Hole 10 green Whistling Straits, Irish course - Hole 8 Whistling Straits, Straits course - Hole 3

Totally Adam Scott.

What annoys me more is when the bad golfers get the new equipment the day it comes out and expect it to improve their game. Beginners should focus more on their swing and the game before getting the best clubs and balls.

You know what they say, "If you don't cheat in golf, you only cheat yourself."

I went simple and got the Winn DuraTech on all irons and woods.

I caddie at Whistling Straits. Best advice is to stay in the fairways. The second cut is hell and anything past the second cut is pretty much a pitching wedge back to the fairway. Most importantly, just have fun. It's a fantastic course. If you're having a bad round, take a look around at the scenery and think about where you are. Hope you enjoyed it!

Yes, buy one if you can afford it. You never realize how much you will use it until you have one. I bought mine for work and now use it whenever I golf, especially new courses. They are extremely helpful on driving ranges as well if distances aren't marked well.

I shot my best 9 last week. I was +1 at Whistling Straits Irish course. That includes two bogeys and one double. Yesterday I golfed Blackwolf Run Meadow Valley course and shot a 95...it was a rough day. You know those days where every shot is solid, yet you fail to put up good numbers?

I'm bad at introductions, so, yeah. I like golf, obviously. I'm currently a caddie at Whistling Straits in Kohler, WI and I'm sure a good deal of you are familiar with the course. I joined so I could talk golf with people outside of work and family. That's about all I got to say about that.
