You guys probably didn't see it then. It was a disaster. When agreeing to a interview and trying to promote your brand, it might be in your and your company's best interest to have a glimmer of interpersonal skills and amping up your brand's products. Breed interviewed him because he was doing an entire show over driving, and a integral part of hitting any club is having proper grips. God this forum is probably takes the cake for dullest website ever.

Did anyone see the Golf Fix the other day on driving? He got on the Titleist tour truck and had a little interview with their guy in charge of regripping. I don't believe I've seen such a salty individual with such poor communication skills lol Michael Breed looked like he actually got lost in the interview a few times and didn't know where to go with the dryness

I usually mark mine with a dot to the left of the brand name, then a dot to the left of the number (because of left handed). I remember one time I got an entire bag of balls from my friend who works at a golf course, and he and his fiance at the time decided to pre-mark mine with things such as "Canada sucks, eh" (because I used to lived near the Canadian boarder), and things such as "Brad loves balls". Should have been an interesting laugh for whoever found those

Am I the only one who found this whole thread hilarious?

I can't stand it when people leave their cigarettes on the green, the green of all places should be left as clean as possible. I chew seeds, but never do I spit them on the green. Its annoying and obstructive

I believe that etiquette has diminished not only in golf, but in society as a whole. To the OP's comment, the coach should have handled his students and situation in a better way. New people need to to be educated, and educate themselves on how to compose themselves on the course. I'm relatively new to golf, and admittedly I made some mistakes that others (even complete strangers) made me aware of, and of which I was thankful for. Some people see this as an offensive action, but really its only for every golfers best interest. Its just not a matter of following formalities, but also a huge matter of safety. The younger you can teach and educate someone, the more apt they will take that information with themselves for life. What kills me is how many adults have no common sense whatsoever. And this is coming for a 23 year old.

Almost all of my clubs came from them. All of my clubs have come in a better condition than what I would have anticipated. I just bought graphite Cleveland CG7 Black Pearls for $299. For that price I figure they would have been maybe a bit worn out. But 3 of the clubs were still in plastic, and the only two clubs I could tell that have been hit were the PW and 9i. My 3 Vokeys I got from them came with brand new grips. I'd highly recommend them, and they always seem to have some sort of deal going.

People always ask me if they can mess around with my clubs since I'm left handed. I'm always very hesitant about it but I usually let them because the people who ask me are usually a playing buddy. I won't let people hit off a tee with any woods, but will usually let most people use my irons and putter. However last semester in my college golf class I let another student use my, at the time, brand new Taylormade Raylor. I turned around real quick to talk to the coach and turned back around and the other student decided it would be a smart idea to swing my left handed club, backwards and right handed, hitting the ball with the back of the crown. Luckily it didn't leave much of a mark because he was such a terrible golfer, but I almost wanted to wrap that club around his head.

I just started last spring,and I've had the luck to have friends who I regularly play with who are a ~4 handicap and I usually shoot a bit better with them as opposed to my friends who shoot around 100. When I fall apart is when I play with better people I don't know too well, and I over-think and get anxious about everything I do. Definitely a time when I fall apart. I have to admit that I play best alone because I can let my head be free and not have to worry about waiting or being waited on, or the fact that I might be judged on a poor shot.

in my spare time lol. but i don't think its as wide. The shaft is an inch longer, and the bottom of the head is shaped like a hull oh a shit so it glides right through the rough.

Where in the world is Zinedine Zidane?? I used to live in Springfield, and this behavior seems about right.

Welcome from another Middle Tennessean!

I played yesterday and nearly got nailed. The guy I was playing with was about 100 yards away and never yelled fore and it was about 4 feet from nailing me. Luckily it wasn't any closer because I turned around at the time it would have nailed my face. It kind of pissed me off because I have hemophilia and my medication is not cheap.

I know there's a lot of threads on walking right now, and I may have overlooked this. But my local course is a really long, really hilly course. Besides the high school golf team members, I have yet to see anyone walk. I really would like to start walking the course, and it is cheaper so it will start saving me a lot of money. The only reason I haven't started already is because I'm afraid I'll catch a lot of flak since I'm walking. My biggest weakness is that I worry about others too much when I play, and it hurts my game. Do you think I should just go ahead and break the norm and walk?

Just to kinda give everyone a basic idea, running is a aerobic exercise, and walking is more along the lines of strength training. In one hour: You'll burn more calories running, but the calories being burned would be derived from sugars and carbohydrates. You'll burn more fat walking because your body doesn't use as many carbohydrates for fuel, it has enough time to metabolize fat. Walking and running are two different forms of exercise, which is something that is confused a lot. They both have their benefits. The biggest thing with walking is form. Form will dictate how efficiently calories are burned. A person's weight also comes into play. A heavier individual will burn more calories walking than a lighter individual because he/she has more weight to carry around. I would recommend a heavier individual to walk rather than run for countless health related issues and risks.

I had the same issue. My issue was that I was swinging too hard. Someone on this site mentioned (and whoever it was thank you so much) that it should feel like you're swinging a ball on a string. Once I made this connection I slowed my swing down, and all of my lines started falling into place. It also feels like my hands are way in front of my clubhead.

Thats funny that this topic came up. I played 36 throughout the weekend and lost so many balls (the good thing is that I'm losing less and less :) ). I can't complain because they were all free (prov1s and higher end balls) but what sucked is that I lost a lot of them right around the fairway. Our course is so janky, but its cheap and it works. 18 is a long par 5 and from the tee you hit over a hill, and every time i tee off, i always hit in the same location and lose my ball in a creek/erosion area that runs through the fairway. i really want to try out those srixon tour yellow balls.

I used this club today playing 18 and it really came in handy! It got through the rough like butter and hit dead straight which was amazing.

Ah you definitely can, especially being 16. Just start off slow and short, and work up from there. Its crazy how fast you can progress if you stay on it. 3 months and 5k races won't be a big deal.

Its like that everywhere you go. I work retail and its the same exact way. At least you don't have to deal with one thing, and possibly the worst thing... WHITE TRASH who like to make a scene and think they deserve everything for a discount, or better yet, free.

Wow... And as far as getting to the course, I would just take a cab. There's no shame in that and it should be cheap considering how close you live to it.

I really don't like playing alone, but I only have 3 friends that golf and we work completely different schedules. I'd rather play alone than not play at all ya know

This was exactly how it was. There was an old man who had to of been 70, and an older lady neither of which hit the ball any remarkable distance... but at least they weren't rolling it down the course. I never did purposely speed up to catch them, they just played extremely slow. Every time I caught up to them was when the lady was teeing off her tee and the guys were on the fairway. I never found an appropriate time where I could ask them where I could play through otherwise I would have. I didn't expect that I shouldn't have had to wait to take my shots, but not 5+ mins a hole for 6 holes.... they were soooo slow

I do. Here lately I've the 300 work out to gain some mass (bad ass regimen if you want to try something new), but usually I just stick to workouts that use my own body weight as resistance. I'm a avid runner and train for half marathons (hopefully the full Music City Marathon next year) however I'm not built like a typical runner at all-- 5'9" and 165lbs. What's crazy is how stamina golf takes. This is my first season of golf and I started with the preconceived notion that golf wasn't really an athletic sport. With how hot its been, its crazy how much 18 can drain you.

I'm so glad that that there are other courses with this issue. Our bunkers' sand is so hard that its nearly like concrete. I landed in one today, and ended up costing me 2 strokes... some of the bunkers don't even have a trace of sand
