I tried to do this last year as well, but will absolutely jump in on this full on this year. I try to do that everytime I go swing clubs at all, since I'm not blessed with your ability to hit pretty much every day.
After each round do you talk about your gear? A 2024 challenge.

Yeah this is a good point. I probably need to do a little better with providing more detail. I've been trying to do that lately.
Another kinda weird thing is when my posts in an equipment thread are back to back to back because I play so much. I'm trying to get better about not caring about that either.
I've never done it before, and really don't have motivation to do so. Maybe when I can do my clubs justice I'll give it a whirl.

I like this as a reminder. I posted something about my irons after the last round and then didn't get to the other threads. I will make it part of my process to at least comment on one part of the bag after each round.
Yes I definitely do! It becomes a little more challenging after I start playing more rounds in the summer, so I'll pick one or two pieces of equipment each round. Lately I've been posting in pretty much every thread after every round, but that's because I'm only at a round or two a month now. That will pick up soon I hope!

Checking in...
How is this going for everyone? I'll admit I've slowed down a bit in providing feedback after each round. I definitely still find one piece of equipment to talk about after each one but I'm no longer going through my whole list of equipment threads to try and figure out things to say. I think at some point due to how much I'm playing I just run out of stuff to say.
How about everyone else? You keeping up with talking about your equipment?

I'm not holding up my end of the agreement. But I will try and remember to post thoughts after my round Saturday.

That's all we can do to try and do better. I appreciate your commitment to this and I'm sure current and future THP members will find your feedback valuable.
Just one round so far, but definitely want to keep this going. At least commenting on a portion of the bag each round. And when the new stuff comes, it's full on post-a-ganza.

Yep, you'll have PLENTY to talk about here in a couple short months.
I always post on forum, wither good or bad round.
I will indeed. Have some notes drawn up for that. But I'll do what I can to share how they work on a mid-high cap in mostly soft terrain.
Can't freaking wait!

I mostly talk about golf equipment when the weather is bad or I'm sick or injured or have other obligations keeping me from playing golf. As long as I'm playing every day or most days, no real urge to do forum stuff.
Other than my lob wedge and putter, everything is a generation old. I dont think anyone cares.
Well, my DCB21's should be a generation old.
C'mon Callaway, lets see the new DCBs for crying out loud!

People care.
I know of a few, including myself, that found out about THP based on searching for old equipment reviews. If people are adding new posts to those old threads it starts to make them jump up in google search rankings.
I enjoy doing so, but as of now my gear is all years old or at least a couple seasons release old. I can probably go back and talk about it, but you tend to start talking to yourself.
Golf balls are the only thing I potentially could discuss at this point, but even with that I haven't been buying new golf balls recently either.
I definitely skimmed before making my post. but I get your point here. never thought about pushing them up on google spots before though.

That seems to be a common misconception about old equipment in this thread. Put yourself in the shoes of someone just starting off or starting back into the game. They are at the local used golf club store and pickup a old driver. They don't know anything about it or the brand and search it up on google.
Then Boom... your feedback in a 4 year old thread is new enough to rank well on google and they click the link and find out how awesome a place THP is.
Then in 3 months they are complete lunatics like most of us here.
