@MMGOLFSTUDIOS I tend to agree. Give me a window to maneuver… low cut, high draw, slice around this, punch under that, under then over… an opportunity to be creative is a lot of fun for me.
I’ve had 3, can’t tell a difference. It’s like watch, Rolex or Ap are cooler than Tag or Brietling but they all
Just keep time. Aficionados will talk about what you get but at the end of the day the ball has to find the hole. If you can roll it with a corn dog, that’s worth more than a stamp
@FixUrBallMark Grow the game took a piece out of a lot of us. Scotty selling putters for $20k because of a milled “tour only” stamp might just be the tip of the iceberg that foreshadowed the fall of golf civilization. I think you’re actually on the same team.
Actually, I’d guess most every golfer has been impacted by the increased distance due to the ball and driver length. It comes in terms of dollars for renovation, lost range balls, longer time on the course, proportional maintenance costs. Golf is a broad game with broad abilities, but we all feel the pinch of even just planting trees and growing rough if not adding length. Those cost money too and every club has a club champion, a player a little better than the next closest guy… he deserves to be challenged too, so it’s not just about the elites, it’s about every single player from the latest beginner to the guy who’s 90 and can still shoot his age to the club champion, the aspiring college player, the inspired high schooler, the only ones not paying for their greens fees and for their balls are the tour pros…
@drewster_dayton@sullymygoodname@NECRTW There’s no current agreement in place, Dayton football has no guaranteed home field last year or going forward. This is about saving the football program and as such makes sense why football alumni are so invested.
@Hawksian@AlanShipnuck The environmental areas were a total deal breaker… what’s the point of a golf course if you can’t play golf. I wouldn’t play it for free after that.
@BradMarrs298068@Super70sSports Never ever any attitude… that’s dudes best was better than anyone’s for the better part of 2 years but the limiter was never attitude. That garbage AstroTurf was his issue
Current golf courses would be too long if we went back to hickories and featheries. The scale of the courses must match the scale of the equipment. The time to go back that far was 100 years ago. Go back to 2000 was when 3 things happened at the same time, graphite shafts became reliable, solid ball construction, metal heads on “woods” all in about 3 years time. Titleists 975d driver with a proforce shaft hitting a prov1 = 20 yards with the swipe if a credit card.
Had one of those at Kiawah about 15 years ago. Not older, young dude and he didn’t laser, pace or pin sheet anything. I challenged him about the same point, somewhere around #6 and he laid it all out for me …
“That yardage marker is 132 to the middle, the flag in that location can only be 8 back of middle and we are 7 paces from the sprinkler head… go ahead, here’s the pin sheet, step it off, it’s 147… I doube 6 times a week for the last 18 months bro”
On top of that, smoked enough weed to kill a small elephant.
Awesome dude, awesome hang, best caddie ever and one of my favorite rounds ever.
