There has been a thread or two on rental clubs lately and it got me thinking, what is the best rental or loaner club you have ever used?
The last time I was in CA I didn't have my clubs and a buddy of mine asked me to play at the course he worked at. The bag I was given to use had a center...
This place used to be a CPC (Callaway Performance Center) but has since merged with Golfsmith I believe. They still use the same technology as the other CPCs and I'm told they have Callaway's entire catalogue. I'll be making my way there early tomorrow morning for my MC fitting. I'll try and get...
Hey guys,
Got in my car this afternoon and noticed something wasn't right. I drove a mile at the most to get to a safe spot to pull over going 15-20 MPH. Got out and tire was almost flat. Still had a bit of air pressure. Put on the spare and went straight to a local shop. The guy took my tire...
The good news is that whatever I was doing in Hilton Head, I'm still doing. The bad news is that whatever I was doing in Hilton Head, I'm still doing. I had ZERO confidence standing over a golf ball today. I won't say too much because I don't want to guide anybody's feedback. I will say that the...
I'm not sure if this would be better served in the swing tips section so please move in necessary.
My love/hate relationship with Stack & Tilt has been well documented on THP. I have had some phenomenal ball striking days with it and I've had the worst days ever. When I hooked my first tee shot...
The pondering thread had some thoughts on this tonight and I'm wondering what everyone else has experienced. I went to a big box sporting goods store when the X-hot irons came out. I was consistently carrying the 6 iron 14 yards further than the Mizuno's I had been gaming and landing withing 5...
I posted in the marketplace looking for a new shaft for my OptiForce. Kc sends me a PM saying he's got what I need and I do believe he was right. Before we could even work out a price I had a confirmation number in my inbox. He worked out the price himself and it was free! I owe you big time...
The THP event season is starting to heat up and it got me thinking about something today. There are quite a few threads regarding warming up but I didn't see any specifically geared towards THP events. One of the coolest things about THP events and something that I feel really embodies the...
I've had some terrible luck with the stock OptiForce shafts and I wanted to see what was out there in THP land. I'm looking for stiff or X-flex depending on what shaft it is. I would prefer a shaft with the OptiFit sleeve but that isn't crucial. Thanks guys.
I know we have quite a few business types here on THP so I thought I would pose the question. How do you play "business golf?" Do you let your boss win? What if it's a client and you are afraid of losing a sale or contract if you lay down the hammer? If you are laying back a bit and the person...
I just had a good conversation with a great friend of mine. She brought up people she would love to have dinner with. If you could choose three people to have dinner with who would it be? The one person we both agreed upon was Bill Nye. Who are your three?
There are quite a few team competitions going this year for THP and that got me thinking about ideal playing partners. Do you like constant encouragement or complete silence? Do you want to golf with someone who is going to banter the entire round or someone who is focused on winning at all...
There has been a lot of talk lately about growing the game. I was out on my home course today and noticed two blue flags on each hole that I had never noticed before. There are 3 nines on the course and only one of them has the blue flags. The flags were covering large holes (2 foot diameter...
It is very rare that I ask for opinions on stuff like this from anyone which I know is stupid but I've grown to really appreciate what the members here have to offer not just in golf but in life. Some of you know my background going to school as a "PGM" student at Campbell University. The end...
One of my buddies just recently went here and I also read Zenger's review about Club Champion. I'm going to make the drive there one weekend this month for a full bag fitting as I've never gone through something this comprehensive. I'm looking at it as a Christmas present to myself. I contacted...
I recently posted in the ponder thread about new wedge shafts since my 54* just snapped and I wanted something closer to what I game in the rest of my irons for consistency. Well Jimmy sends me a PM and he just so happens to have the shafts that I've been looking at. Being the awesome dude that...
I've had an interesting week this week and it really got me thinking about things. I've gone through the worst of times since I joined THP and I've met some amazing people that I'm honored to call friends. I can honestly say that I wouldn't have come out the other side the way I did if it wasn't...
Hello THP Marketplace! Sorry about the orientation of some of the pictures. Photobucket wasn't saving changes for some reason. I will consider offers on both and please PM me with any questions. Anyways....
First club for sale in a Ping Anser 16.5* 4 wood with a stiff flex Ping TFC 800 shaft...
I've been borderline complaining about issues with my game lately and I thought I'd be constructive and post some changes on THP. Hopefully there are some people who can learn from some of the mistakes I was making. Going through a swing change is so difficult but I think a lot of times it is...
