Driving Range Wars
Check out the link. What’s your reaction? I’m excited and can’t wait for something like this at a range near me.
Interestingly, the featured course used to be in my backyard and the course architect was a good friend of mine Brad Benz. He built courses on 5 continents.
A mystery to many of us, this video gives a few basics on why you want to pay attention to swing weight and how much difference it can make to have the right or wrong swing weight for your swing. While the demonstration is with the driver, please note what is stated about swing weight and the...
Inspired from another thread on how people use their fairway metal. This one is to get an idea of the results most of us get when using the fairway metal off the deck.
Golf Digest mined this information from Arccos. Using data from Ping fittings they "discovered that players who average 300 yards or more with their driver use their 3-wood 90 percent of the time off the tee and only 10 percent of the time from the fairway. Conversely, golfers with an average...
For those of you living where the weather is severe enough to have a offseason, what's your best guess as to when you'll play your first round in 2024? (Simulator rounds excluded.)
When you actually play, come back and self-report how the round went and how your actual date compared to your...
Over the last 30 years of professional golf I doubt many would argue against Tiger Woods as the #1 player during that time. But who is #2?

I thought it would be nice to have a thread dedicated to stuff going on during the off season that doesn’t fit neatly into another thread. Could be golf-related or not.
The longest continuous time on the course. Could be an especially slow round. Could be playing multiple rounds back-to-back. Could be some kind of on-course fundraiser. You get to pick. How long and what was it?
Tell us something amusing about your first round of golf.
I was reminded of this last week when a friend I taught had his first round in a fundraiser tournament. As it turned out, the two other players that were supposed to be in our foursome scratched at the last minute. As a result, it was...
The accuracy of our approach shots is key to GIR and lower scores. So, where are you at currently? Struggling primarily with direction or distance on your approach shots? What is your analysis and how are you going to try to get better?
Let's have some fun and help THP reach the 9 million goal at the same time. One-word answer. Relative to par what did you score on the last hole you played? Play another 9 or 18-hole round and post again.
Michael Breed had a very thought-provoking workshop on selecting how many wedges and with what specs. in yesterday's A New Breed of Golf - Wedge Workshop. Feel free to watch and then we can have some good discussion on this topic.
@Pops posted a thread wondering how THPers stack up against the USGA's average handicap of 14. So, I'm posting this poll to pair with that discussion as an easier way to calculate where we stand. If you gave a number as a post in @Pops thread, please also answer the poll here.
As of August...
As the thread name implies, tell us the best highlight from your time golfing. Could be an accomplishment, a special experience or trip. You get to pick.
