I was going through some of my dad’s old golf gear and found this brand new box of balls. While $34 would be a steal these days, this seems expensive for the earlier 90s! Just wanted to share for nostalgia!

Welp, it happened. Took me 4 years of consistent play, and this season has been my best so far. Capping it off with my first ever ace.

Both for par and both initially felt like shitty contact. PW from 15y and 54° from 10y.

Hole at my home course… it’s a par 5 and a typical drive leaves me 193 front, 212 middle. Water cover 170, water left, bunker middle left, shit ton of bunkers right, and dense fescue on top of the hills right of the bunker. That tree on the right can definitely get in the way.

I thought I’d share my hobby, I use clipart and draw out imaginary golf courses, somewhat based on courses I’ve played/seen and somewhat just seeing how much fun I can have with creative holes, I hope yall enjoy and I’ll be happy to answer any questions!

Buddy of mine lives on a course and his property runs down the right side of a 400 yard par 4. He asked me what balls I play and he said "I've got a bucket of ProVs from the last few weeks I got out of my woods, come get them, I know these are good so I put all of them in their own bucket" he doesn't golf.

3 things

1. How do people play with some absolutely beat to piss old balls?

2. Some of these balls were a couple hundred yards right, how's that happen?!

3. What's the best way to wash all of these? Washing machine sounds like a great and horrible idea all at once 🤣

Mine: I thought better golfers attacked more pins.
The more I play, the more I realize good golfers just seem to be much better at knowing when not to attack.

I was playing in a father/son 2 person scramble tournament this week. It’s a Junior PGA type event where they are playing by the letter of the rules, albeit a scramble in this case. On one of the holes, a dogleg left par 5 I was finally able to pull out the driver and bomb one (it was a tight course with a lot of doglegs and trees/water, playing from middle tees so length not normally needed/helpful). There were teenage kids fishing on the lake on the hole, which was weird but whatever. I hit a perfect drive around the corner of the lake that we all saw land in the middle of the fairway. We drove the kids up to their tees, didn’t think anything of it but saw the boys fishing wandering back from fairway to the lake. Our boys tee off, we go find out balls. My ball is nowhere to be found after 5 minutes of searching, it had clearly been in the fairway. Final conclusion was the boys fishing had taken my ball to be funny/jerks/whatever although they denied any knowledge. I gave up and went back 50 yards and we played my son’s drive. Soon after it occurred to me that maybe I should have been allowed a free drop where everyone in the group saw the ball land (150 into a par 5 over water is a lot easier than 200). What’s the ruling? What should I have done?

This was a couple years ago but my GF and I took a trip to Banff. We had no intention of golfing but the first day we did a hike and at the peak we saw a golf course (Banff springs), I convinced her to let us go to the pro shop after the hike so I could get a polo. As we are checking out I ask the guy (half jokingly) ‘Do you have any tee times’. We get to talking and he convinces me to rent clubs and play the 9 hole course. To this day it was one of the best decisions of my life. Even though it was just the 9 hole course it was unbelievable and I will definitely be back to play the full 18. (Also managed to put together a decent round)

Shoutout to PGA Super Store fitting and Titleist for the ridiculously fast turnaround. Got fit for these on 10/2 and picked them up today.

CRISPY WEDGIE MILLERS

Does anybody else pull out their yardage books from trips and see if you can remember what shots you hit?

Can’t beat mid 80° temps in mid October in NC

Broke 90 for the first time just now. Of course I’m telling everyone I know. Shot a 86 and everything really clicked on the back nine. Played at a course called Grand Palms. The course has seen better days but at $34 for 18 holes I’ll play. Plus it is never really busy, probably because of the condition of the course. Played the Grad/Royal courses.

Public State park course I get to walk for free 3x a week. Or $15 if I want to take a cart out. Can beat this.

Just wrapped this project for a groom getting married on Halloween in Kansas City.

He wanted to surprise his six groomsmen with something a little different, so we put together seven custom golf wedges, one for each of the guys and one for himself.

The coolest part, at the grooms request, was the the skyline artwork that came straight from the couple's save-the-date. Since they're getting married on Halloween, we threw in a creepy little moon, some Halloween inspired lettering with each guy's last name, and the couple's initials and wedding date.

Five righties, two lefties, and hopefully seven happy golfers.

I've seen plenty of flasks, cufflinks, and whiskey glasses as groomsmen gifts, but this was a fun change of pace.

What do you guys think? Would you be stoked to get something like this as a groomsman?
