Thanks @hdanak because I didn't think about that one... Has anyone had trouble getting their tags into the Super Stroke putting grips? I changed mine yesterday and can't that sucker to go in. Thought about making the hole a bit wider but wondered if anyone had another option.

I just had ATT Gigapower service installed at my house and good grief is it fast...If you can get it I wouldn't hesitate, especially if you already have ATT Uverse...pix below, speed diferences are due to the older/newer radios in my devices. iPhone 7 Speed Macbook

Shot an 85 at a course out in East Texas near where I grew up, Pine Dunes Reaort - Frankston. I love playing courses like this that are cut into the natural landscape. And the sandy soil is a lot easier on your clubs than the Dallas black clay. But the best part on a very wet and rainy day, was getting to see the wildlife. The White Tails were all over the course as I finished my round. And then to find out about the passing of Mr Palmer, I'm glad I didn't give up on finding a place to play today.

RIP

Agreed on the customer service. I've sent them a few emails around various issues and they have been responsive to all. Makes me feel good about the purchase. Now if I could just remember to TAG EVERY SHOT! This is the second round with new irons, and after several hours of Full Swing focus...I can definitely see the improvement. I had a real chance of breaking 80 today, but for the putting issues throughout the round, especially on the first hole. I know there's been some discussion around the validity of the strokes gained measurement in GG but today I would say it's spot on. I think it's time to contact the Aimpoint guys and maybe look at a new putter. http://www.gamegolf.com/player/skeedawg40/round/1187064

I think would be a huge mistake on the part of the PGA. You are already struggling with downward trend in golf popularity, so you don't have any leverage to make a deal right now. If you wait until the 2018 cycle that trend may be heading in a positive direction which would give you the necessary leverage to maximize revenue on the TV deals. I don't see a scenario where moving to ESPN or Fox is beneficial given the competition with the other sports they broadcast. I'm guessing that Fox possibly approached them about televising more events post-NASCAR broadcasting based on the success broadcasting the US Open. If true who do you let go? NBC already owns the Golf Channel, your single best place to showcase the sport. CBS has exclusive rights to the Masters, I think they would be harder to walk away from here.

Has anyone changed their irons or another club while using GG? I simply pulled the tags from old and put into the new, then updated my golf bag...but I'd really like to separate the data pre and post new irons in this case. I guess that I could use the Last Round or Last 5 Rounds and other options to show data for new irons, and vice versa for the old. I may be solving my own problem as I type this out, apologies for rambling...but I'm curious how others have handled a club change while using GG.

This is cool because I just look at the comparison v scratch, but looking at the 10 HC makes me feel a bit better about my game. All Rounds (12) Last Round

I don't have any hard date, but my experience is it depends on the course. In my area, Dallas, there are quite a few public courses to play. The better the course the better the hole cut, and more ragged for cheaper courses that aren't managed as closely.

I think I just tagged my putter to record a stroke. Last weekend I had a weird one too, but it was a great shot. I holed out my wedge from ~25yds, so I was done with the hole. Nice birdie on a par 5! GG seemed confused until about 2 holes later, so ultimately self corrected. I think tagging the Driver for the tee shots kicked it back into gear.

celebritynetworth.com has him at ~$720m - http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/richest-golfers/tiger-woods-net-worth/ even with that, he wouldn't spend his own money outright if he's a smart investor. He'd likely put together an acquisition group, and they would finance all or a portion of the purchase.

Well my go to store is closing and the golftec I used for lessons as well. Got the letter below late last night.

I have to concur with going all cash crowd here. Once I did that I never looked back. I have more than enough, now that I'm not in a constant cycle of having to pay off accumulating more than I can really afford. I learned this lesson the hard way unfortunately, but life can be a great teacher of the disciplines needed to be successful. FWIW - I went through the Total Money Makeover program that Dave Ramsey teaches. He's got books, website, etc. to help get you started. I like it because the concepts are very simple to follow, especially for the money/financially challenged like myself.

Oh Kylie, she's got it all...pretty, sings and from what i've seen on talk shows is very nice person...if she played golf then she'd be perfect! Ahhhh! A boy can dream...

This time last year I had the golf bug in full force and had to travel to Miami/Ft Lauderdale area for work. I flew my clubs with me on SW for free, stayed the weekend and played whatever I could find via GolfNow. I found some killer deals and some days could get in 36 holes. The only thing I hate about Florida courses is the damned St Augustine they use for the rough. It will grab your club and won't let go!

Wow! I Suck at Golf! I know that's no news flash, but I've had at most ONE birdie per any round. Well I will just keep on working at my full swing and see if I can budget the Aimpoint class. Get closer to the hole and make more puts from 15' and closer! That should do it! :)

I have a thing for Australian women, and Teresa Palmer is one of my faves!

Yes I had to cancel a tee time as a single a few weeks ago. They asked for a reason and then gave me a refund. It took a couple of days for the charges to get squared up.

All of the above. I've played some nice courses with the Hot Deal and you can cancel if something comes up. Since I often play as a single the Hot Deal can be great. I usually check late night before and early am to see who is offering a deal. It's like the available hotel room approach...they would rather get something when the other only option is $0.

Fowler, Kuchar and Holmes take 3 of the 4 available Captain's picks.

Is it me or does almost every commentator/host on this show sound like they are yelling? Geez you gotta microphone so that you don't have to do this. Talk normally, the microphone amplifies your voice...that's how it's designed.

Played Firewheel GC-Bridges today. Course is 3 x 9 hole sections and you play 2 of them. We played Champions and Masters. The first 9, well let's just say it was a total debacle until the 9th hole. Lost 3 balls. Hit 2 OB on the first tee. 3 putts. Ugh. An ugly 13 over. The next 9 was a MUCH better story. I holed out a lob wedge on par 5 7th for my only birdie! Putted much better with a total of 16 and finished +5. Finished wishing I had time to play another 9 or 18. I love that feeling. Ugly first 9 - https://bnc.lt/yzOb/B6h5Zu6PAw great second 9 -https://bnc.lt/yzOb/hdNj35NQAw

That's pretty stinking awesome! I live in Dallas as well, maybe I should hit him up for a round? Heck if I'd known about this then I would have definitely headed out to Tour 18 around 2pm just see what happened. Dang! Coulda been one of the 3 maybe that got to play with him.

@GolfLug I think you've made some great points. I've seen this with the smartphone revolution as well, something I'm much closer to in my profession than golf clubs. There was a lot of early innovation, some good and some bad...and it drove growth for Apple, Samsung and others for a while. But now we're seeing the leveling off that is natural with any technological innovation. The advances are incremental and won't drive double digit growth anymore. Pundits scream about a lack of innovation but there's not much more to be had otherwise we'd see it. And you have market saturation, which is part of what the article talks about, so that there's only so many more new or upgrade sales to be had anymore. At this point they want to grow market share as much as possible by providing the best possible experience for end users.

Absolutely not! Get fitted, it's worth your time if you love the game as much as you do. When I came back I bought some new TM Speedblades and was fitted for these at Golfsmith. They are pretty good there, and weren't trying to push a brand. Now that I've been playing for a year and I've been able to groove a fairly consistent swing, I can see where the TMs aren't the best option for me. I went to GS today and hit a few different irons including Pings you're looking at. I found that I really need a stiffer shaft or graphite. I have been pretty adamantly opposed to graphite in my irons, but I can't argue with the results I saw today. Point is take advantage of the fitting because it will reveal things you didn't know and get you into the right equipment for your game.
