The official golf thread

Does anyone here have any experience with Takomo golf clubs? I've been looking at them and very tempted to pull the trigger but my season is almost over in the part of Canada. Probably just wait till next yr at this point.

 

I don't think anyone on TW plays golf anymore . I joined the thread/started playing June last year and I think since then, I've mainly talked to myself lol

If anyone cares, my golf game has improved tremendously since starting back in June. I've played probably 2-3 times/month since then, and my 130+ scores have finally been consistently at 100. It was cool to break 100 (have shot a 98, 99, and a few 100's) finally, and its rare I take a mulligan off the tee box anymore, although I most definitely still do a few times a round. Within the last year, I've come to realize one thing: once you finally get something figured out, its gone next round.. I was super consistent with irons at first, couldn't hit wedge, couldn't hit driver straight; the last few rounds, my driver is somehow excellent, wedge shots are money, and can't hit irons. I've finally come around to why people love and respect the game of golf so much; I didn't understand it for years. This shits just plain hard.

 

Golf is definitely one of those love/hate relationships. Knocking 30 strokes off your score in such a short time is quite commendable. I vowed to play more often once I retired and have found it's a game that you have to play to get any better at (aren't all sports really). Since I started playing 2 to 3 times a week, a few tips from a friend (scratch golfer, US collegiate), I don't slice into the tick infested boonies anywhere near as much, hit more fairways, actually one putt greens and usually drive it past the ladies tees. Sometime all on one hole. Consistency is what we all strive for and what's so darn difficult. I like to say I'm consistently inconsistent.
Anyway, I sit and watch Rory McIlroy chuck one off into the trees and say to myself, "see, I can golf just like a pro".
Cheers.

 

Anyone have any recommendations for any one push cart over another? I had grown content with going for a Caddytek cart off Amazon, but still keep coming back to the Bagboy Nitron. It seems most carts, including the cheap ones, have nearly all the features I want - but none have the quality of features (such as cup holder design) as the Bagboy.

 

I have a ClicGear. Quality piece. Rolls smooth and easy, folds well and compact. Gets bashed around but still performs like new. New models have an improved water bottle holder.
Cheers.
