Yeah, with them being daughters instead of sons, this comes very easily. I’ve often remarked to my wife that I’m a much better sports dad because I have daughters and not sons. I would struggle not to go full blown little league dad with boys, but my girls have me wrapped around their fingers.

I still look at used irons first when i look to upgrade. I will never find any shame in this. It’s ridiculous the deals you can find on gently used irons.

i think the only clubs in my bag that i bought new were my wedges…nothing else cost more than $150 (granted i got my irons from my roommate for a hybrid, a bluetooth and buying pizza one night).

i just can’t afford to buy new clubs and still golf.

You probably want to put a putter in the rugrats’ bag as well.

perhaps we should rephrase this considering the sandusky post above…

then introduce the longer clubs gradually.

id be careful about an instructor teaching all three of you and you should talk with them before scheduling a lesson. kids and adults are taught very differently, let alone women and men, but whatever you do def pay attention so you can help the kids out when they’re away from the teacher.

I’m a pretty shitty and infrequent golfer (If I break 100, I’m happy). But I have twin 5 year old daughters and I want to get them into golf. I don’t want to break the bank on getting them some clubs, but also don’t want to find myself buying a new set every few months. Any suggestions? I’m looking into golf lessons for the 3 of us and I assume the local pro would be able to do that all at once since we are, for all practical purposes, virtually all beginners.

it sure is. i may go on the range and just swing and base it on sound.

it’s how i judge bunker shots…the good ones have a distinct, crisp thump.

i like the less active hands with hitting, but when i get lazy or rush with my swing, it’s bad news right now. when my swing’s been working this year, best aspect is probably at transition. really creating that stretch between the fired hips and torso and create a good bit of lag.

i know im leaving a little clubhead speed on the table by not taking advantage of my long arms with a swinging method, but im definitely not lacking for distance and have really tightened up my shot dispersion esp on misses.

What was the bee situation like at Olympic Club?
/Nonexistent. … I didn’t really want to bring too much work talk on a vacation.

Expert move.

Havent been to Vegas in a few years but I’ve always endorsed the Paris breakfast/lunch buffet as a great contrast to the dinner buffets that bog you down at night.

someone who gives a “look at this guy” stare based on their club preference is a dickbag and you shouldnt give a shit what they think to begin with. and if you’re playing poorly, does it really matter if you have a little extra forgiveness? im not sure…

ive been playing blades for a year and noticed absolutely no difference in actual legitimate performance compared to my cavity backs. bad shots are bad shots.

Agree with all of this…but maybe I’ve given that look to other people one too many times?
I’m kind of a switter. Backswing is a bit rough but my swing is smooth. My best asset is hand action at the bottom of the swing so I still power down and through it (hence the divot).

You?

/team pathitic on shots with the golf ball below your feet.

likewise.

/also team fuck bunkers
//heh…fuck bunker

Mines more of a “whoosh.” I get the big divot with my wedges though. Love picking those clods of grass up after a good shot.

you more of a swinger or hitter?

i LOVE picking up my divots, esp with wedges. perfect for making fun of a buddy’s mother’s unkempt pubic region.

I’d add that the range is perfectly flat and the pro courses flat lies are an anomaly.
