Terry Bradshaw

I've purchased from them a few times and have always had good experiences.

I don't think I have ever played an NYC course under 5.5 hours. I think 5 hours is slow but acceptable on a weekend, but 5.5 - 6 is grueling and just not that fun. Once I finished 9 holes at Dyker 4.5 hours after my tee time! (Granted, I had to wait an hour to tee off...). My advice: spend an extra 30 min driving to any number of fine courses in L.I., Westchester, Connecticut, or NJ and avoid the issue completely.

You're swing tempo looks good. One thing you should work on (most evident in the 7 iron vid) is your takeaway is way too inside. This causes the club to come around and be way too on top of your shoulders at the top of the backswing (the club face disappears behind your head). Try taking the club straight back along the target line to start your takeaway, that should help a little.

Also sounds like normal bag chatter marks to me. I have the mx300s... I played a few rounds riding in a cart right after I got them and noticed it happening to my clubs. Now I used headcovers on the way to/from the course or if I'm riding in a cart. I usually walk though, so if I put my arm over the clubs I can avoid any clanking. I bought the cheap ones you can find on ebay that are clearly cheap fakes, but they get the job done.

Did you find an instructor you like at the piers? I have taken lessons there, but I would prefer to take some lessons off of real grass.
