One of our guys plumb bobs every putt from every angle every hole. He’s a terrible putter as well. This gets my vote.

Why do you care?
It was announced that TM is now making a 9 wood.
It is 24 degrees. My TM M2 7 wood is 24 degrees. I love it. I thought I would add a TM 9 wood to the bag, but it is a 7 wood with a new number on bottom.

I cant kinda understand the disdain for music, I don't mind my music because it's music i like and listen to but not at high volume at all... But I play with a few people that have terrible taste/playlist going and much, much louder than i'd ever consider playing and it does get on my nerves.. But hell i believe SunMountain has a bag with built in speakers if I'm not mistaken so a lack of carks would eliminate it..

$20-25 cart fee per cart per round says otherwise. Clubs make a ton of money on carts. It’s absolutely worth the effort

Agree. BT speakers dont belong on a golf course.

GPS carts that shut down and make you reverse out of certain areas

Good call. The thought behind them makes a ton of sense, but they are awful in practice. If you take out the last half foot of the cart line to get to the cart path, all of a sudden you're required to reverse 15 feet backwards.

This is true.
Most fundraisers get almost cart rental only fee. If a course is $80 to ride, $25-30 of that is cart fee. Charity brings 100 players, 50 carts at $60 (2 players) is $3000.
Also it’s why replay rate at several places is cart fee.

As several have said already, this is false. Cart fees are a large part of the operational budget of a club. And the carts are usually leased, so there is no upkeep and maintenance. If one breaks, it gets replaced.

When I see these, I always wait for the golfer to deep throat the putter while they're lining up. Learn to use a normal length putter.
Here's another club that's a crutch for a bad chipper. I used to have one years ago when I was learning. Then I learned they were illegal. They do help, but why practice with an illegal club.
