We don't need him to play 50 games, he's contributed nicely on the off occasion when he's healthy

Let him sit until the playoffs start.. Insert him to dish out massive hits in game 1 and 2.. Then let him sit until round 2. Repeat

I think you need to be 10 handicap and below to see the any difference in wedges imo.

You need some sort of consistency in your game otherwise it’s pointless.

I think everyone benefits from having wedges that allow them to play from a variety of lies. Not saying higher handicappers are gonna be out there hitting flop shots with T grind vokeys, but having something in the bag specifically for wet/hard sand or tight lies, or something like a K grind for really deep rough or fluffy sand would benefit loads of players.

(assuming people wanna score better)

When you’re a hacker and slasher like me good quality clubs are a waste of money. If you don’t have a proper swing and make good contact you might as well use cheap equipment.

At my level, it doesn’t make sense to spend a lot of money on new clubs or lessons.

The money is better spent on beer at the turn.

Exactly. I think hitting bad shots with expensive clubs would make the game even more frustrating than it already is.

I'm not really a golfer - or not a golfer. I've been 3 times. But I have a number of friends who go. A few of them definitely spend a lot of money on clubs and all the accessories - but one time a group of them went out with this guy, Tom, and Tom brought with him a wood, a putter and a middle iron. He carried all three in his hand all game, dropping them only to take his shot.

I don't think he was a very good golfer, but his laid back approach seemed to change their attitude quite a bit. They even started an annual game called the Lord Tom classic where you're only allowed 3 clubs of your choice.

Most golfers need to quit golf and start playing pub golf.

Go to 9 different pubs, create a par for each pub (each sip is a stroke).

Good luck finishing the back 9.

Fun golf story (if you like dark humour):

The only expensive golf thing I have is a Sun Mountain golf bag.

A few years ago, my MIL started developing dementia. At first it wasn’t so bad, she could still function in public - we got her help for groceries, took away her car.

She was still golfing a bit, and spending a month or two in Florida at her boyfriend’s place.

Turns out she was misplacing her golf stuff and replacing it. I discovered a golf store in her basement: two sets of clubs, two additional empty bags, three travel cases, a ton of smaller stuff.

We divvied it up - I got the Sun Mountain bag and a travel case.

Is it wrong I still giggle at this?

Dementia is rough

Sun Mountain bags are nice. I have one myself (4.5 14 way, black with a red maple leaf). Unfortunate that they're assembled in Montana though.

I am not sure what consists of expensive equipment but good clubs could improve your game significantly even if you are a bad golfer. Mostly the forgiveness.

GI irons and max woods / drivers seem to have come a long way over the last 5 years or so.

But if your slice goes 20 or 30 yards further, you're probably getting lower scores.

Hybrids are basically cheating.

Sure are. I am very fond of my tsr2 4 hybrid. Considering getting a 3 to replace my fairway wood because I like it so much.

I just think you need to get to a certain level of consistency before a club will make a difference for you.

3 wood, 7 iron, SW.

Our club each year has a 4-club tournament (I’ve never played it, but maybe this year).

In the weeks leading up to it, the debate is always whether or not you carry a putter.

That sounds about right. I would carry the same clubs. I can putt with my wedge no problem so I wouldn’t carry the putter.

I’ve seen guys try to chip their putt with a wedge and it boggles my mind. You can just turn your wedge and hit the center of the ball and it rolls like a putter.

When I researched before getting clubs is was looking for distance,
But was pleasantly surprised at how much decent clubs reduce you spraying the ball left and right

Interesting night on the out of town scoreboard.

Everything broke the Habs’ way.
