    I enjoy the challenge of the game and the overall atmosphere of a golf course such as the smell of cut grass and all the different sights you see while out there. The golf course is a very relaxing place for me.

    Pretty crazy that the i500 are lower than the Titleist 620 MBs. I would have never guessed that. Back when I was getting a fitting and getting back into the game I was set on the i500s for a little while as well.

    Brooks is a bully. My man Spieth out there trying to piece together a round and get a win along with Xander, also watching Hahn collapse was a nice reminder of how much this game is played between the ears. Seemed like once he realized he was leading someone came along and injected straight anxiety into his blood stream or something. Then comes along Brooks with the casual 90+ chip in for Eagle. YOINK! Thanks guys!

    Spieth makes me school girl giddy and I freaking love it.

    Who the hell puts a person just standing out there on the course like that? I ask the staff at my course this all the time about multiple different trees out there. 😝

    Nice catch. Wonder what he'll end up being happy with. A guy with his frame that he's built and being 6'1 I would think somewhere around 210 give or take would be really lean and athletic looking for him.

    Yeppers! It'll be nice if a "tell all" story comes out one day to officially set the record straight for everyone.

    Good to know!

    My goals are pretty simple this year. Play the entire year Book at least 3 lessons I live in Florida and we have no forced off season. I literally can play year round and I just don't for whatever mundane excuse/reason that I allow myself to justify stopping me from playing all year. Other hobbies, colder weather, etc, etc...all a bunch of excuses really. My reason behind this is to avoid the "knocking off the rust" phase after not playing for 3-4 months at a time. I want to see what I can personally achieve if I play all year, last Season was good to me and I had multiple opportunities to shoot under par and that was really exciting!

    I've always thought the real reasons for all the hate were/are because of his whole family issues stemming from the wife? The guy had his parents escorted off the grounds at the 2014 US Open because his wife wanted it done. This along with all the other rumors is what I imagine fuels most people's hate towards him when he's out there skirting the rules of Golf. Regardless of what is actually true and what is false the dude is a crazy fierce competitor and all this craziness seems to fuel his competitive drive. Watching everything unfold over the weekend got me thinking about what kind of documentaries (if any) will come out over the next 20-40 years about Reed.

    Thanks! Ol Bryson ended up getting pretty big haha.

    Yeah this is pretty similar to what I did and no one is to blame except myself with how uneducated I was at the time of the fitting. I legitimately did the complete opposite of what I believe most of us should do, I went for equipment first vs going for lessons.

    I started playing Golf again last year after a long time away from it. Jumped the gun and went straight to a "big box" fitter style store and got new irons without doing my homework. The swing I went into that store with is not the swing I have today but I walked out of that store with TaylorMade M5s at 3 degrees flat. They aren't the strongest lofted irons on the market but they are lofted stronger, anyway long story short is I bought some Titleist 620 MBs a few months ago with standard lie angle. I only bought PW-8i to start with on the MBs but I'm going to be buying more and blend the set with the 620 CBs. These irons have a level of consistency to them that I love.

    My entire view on equipment fittings has changed in the last year as I've worked on my own game and have experimented with different irons. My advice is get whatever irons gives you the most consistency in accuracy and distance.

    JT is way too competitive for it to not happen again. Not a problem for me at all.

    I was happy to see Bryson get right there at a shot to win with everything he's been working on. I was also happy to see Finau play loose/free compared to his other Sunday finishes where he seemed to play too safe. I'd been hoping all day that the 16th hole would decide winner and it truly did and what an incredible shot it was, well deserved for Morikawa and Bryson was really close to getting a eagle on 16 as well. Overall was really awesome golf to watch.

    That seems like a low number for most Tour guys..probably was a mis-hit of some sort.
  18. ShawnSum
    56 minutes and counting until ESPN+ coverage starts. Hypeeeeeeeee

    To all the other guys on the forum that game blades or muscle-backs at what point in the longer irons did you feel it was best to hit a CB instead? 4i, 5i, 6i?
  20. ShawnSum
    Are you trying to say that Tiger was never as good as it was made out to be and his accomplishments are whatever because he was playing against a bunch of chumps compared to today's field?????
  21. ShawnSum
    Anyone else catch what Brooks did yesterday? Purposely hitting that drive into the water on 18 so he could carry a chip on his shoulder going into this week? Pretty calculated to be honest!!
  22. ShawnSum
    Rahm handled all of that really well.
  23. ShawnSum
    How do you type this out and then hit submit as a 17 handicap? I browse these forums and several subs on reddit and this takes first place for being the dumbest advice I've ever seen. Congrats on that.

    I'm 33 and this is my second year back after a 10 year break. Played from about age 10 or 11 to about 21 off and on through school. I've had 3 total lessons, one from way back before I stopped playing and two since I started playing again last year and I plan to keep taking lessons!

    This one has been on my radar. I like the price point of this one. Back in my hunting days Leupold were known for their superior clarity, notice any difference with the Bushnell vs your old Leupold?
