    No, but it's definitely a good place for me to go.

    So true. My dad played with the same set of clubs hes had since the 80s and plays a single digit handicap. All his buddies would make fun of him for having ####ty old school clubs but he kicks there ### every round

    My friend Marguerite went to college on a golf scholarship and said basically the same thing. She did see a difference in the various ball types and brands, but clubs were more about what you do with them.

    I personally feel like that's 1 of the many problems with golf, they were the first to market pay to play by buying upgrades to fix bad performance.

    I can tell you for sure that golf ball types are completely different. Theres a huge difference between a 10 dollar top flight ball and a 45 dollar titleist pro v

    Trick is to buy them that have been on the shelf a couple years— they overproduce and come out with newest thing every year and you can get 50% or better off the older models— still new and pretty much the same—- and buy your cool threads at Costco— same thing only about 80% cheaper— helps to save for golf ball resupply

    $45 for a golf ball? How can you possibly check the "no" box on your cdl physical where it asks about mental illness?

    I am sad to report that Tramm F’d his last 2 holes up and missed being in the money by 2 strokes— it’s a depressing story that nobody would want to hear

    Well that is for a 12 pack . so like 4 dollars a ball... I never really bought new ones... Just pick them out of the desert and out of the lakes or when i worked at the golf course take the ones people left behind in the carts
