Do you play with kids clubs and are they so much cheaper?

No just my driver was about $1k and I play mmt iron shafts which are pretty expensive

Isn’t there a wrist brace contraption that keeps your wrist prone (sic) throughout your swing??

Pro sendr

Alignment sticks.

Not a training aid but Ben Hogans timeless book:

Hmmm. You don’t practice but you’re at the range.

My “practice” is getting there like 30 minutes early… sometimes.

I’ve probably been to just the range like 3 times this year

If that’s really you… you could stand to lose a few pounds

The drunker i get, the better i play. Or maybe i just don't care anymore. John Daly definitely cracked the code to great golfing outings

I’ve never had a lesson and don’t practice and am currently a 3 handicap

You also play from the midget box in front of the ladies tees.

Best Golf Training Aid?
What has worked best for you and was actually worth it?

---

There's lots of questions to be answered for what you want to do playing golf. Do you want to play scrambles for work? Do you want to be an A player in your group? Do you play now and want to trim some shots and be better? Are you a fresh beginner that has never really played and want to learn ground up? What are you trying to work on?

--The best thing you can do for every single one of these questions and the only common answer for all, work on putting and be a good putter. There are several good tools to help with that. Ping and iPod had a great tool years ago that I don't think you can find anymore that was a clip for your putter shaft and a ping app that would help you see what type of putter would be best for you and help train tempo. From there, it is just practice.

-- Learn to make contact on the range before hitting the course and having pressure on you.

-- Alignment sticks are mentioned a few posts up but they are the best training aid you can buy for the long run. You use them at the start or as a +10 handicap. Alignment is a huge chunk of peoples woes.

-- Know your role in your group. If you aren't good, be a good vibes guy. Have a solid little speaker with you and play some great music and buy a few rounds. It will keep people inviting you back to play again. Don't bitch about playing bad if you suck at golf. Too many 20 handicaps throw a tantrum about hitting a bad shot and shooting 90 when that is what a 20 handicap does on a good day.

-- as an individual playing, there is a guy on YouTube named golfsidekick. He can be cringy at times but his information is spot on and great. He isn't going to teach you to hit the ball but he teaches you to manage the course at different levels. Jason Day does a lot of great stuff about chipping and around the green and he shines at it. Breaks it down well.
