You lost all credibility at "I carry a 3.2 handicap... I don't play much anymore". Right...

Hard for your handicap to go up when you don't play... and the last time I did play I shot 74.

I have never had an official handicap and I am not a member of any golf club (being as I am in college and poor). I am finally trying to get one set up because I need a certifiable handicap for when I travel to Scotland later this summer. Some of the nicer courses over there require you to have an official handicap below a certain number. I have done some research and found ushandicap.com where I can create I handicap done completely online. Is this the best way to go since I don't have an actual home course, or should I still try to get one set up through one of the local golf clubs?


Bottom line is your handicap, for the purposes you are required to have it for, must be USGA qualified. I know in the state of LA, courses aren't allowed to charge over a certain amount ($25-$30) for a LGA handicap.

There is nothing wrong with using an online source, but without a concrete source IMO you never know what you are getting. Just to be safe, I would go to a local club and pay the $25, because more than likely, if they need to, they have a course and pro to talk to. I'm not sure what you would get with an online source.

I was a +1 for over a year without playing

It's changed now, but it took a while for it to go up, especially for not putting a lot of scores in.

Get the lofts checked. They may be closer than they're supposed to be.

Probably wouldn't hurt... I bought them about 6 years ago off of a guy who was strapped for cash.

It'll just be like this for a few days. Let everybody get their bags cleaned out/re-established.

Might be a loft issue. Could also be the swing weight. Swing weight effects different people in different ways. It can play a major role in ball striking.

I have one I'm thinking about getting rid of as well. Thinking about an RBZ stage 2. I would be willing to sell my R11 if anyone is interested, it only has about 20 rounds on it.

My plan worked perfectly. My friends' wife asked me what he would want for his birthday, and I told her custom fit wedges. He got them, he loves them, I now own a slightly used 56° and 60° Ping Tour S for free.99. Not really my plan, but it worked out. Now to figure out to use them haha

I am now mostly Ping in the bag. G10 4-PW, G10 Driver 10.5°, G20 3H, 2013 Scottsdale TR Putter. The only bastards are an old big bertha 3W, which I hit really well surprisingly, and a cleveland 52°

I wanted to switch from my r11 so I hit a bunch of the new drivers the other day and then hit my r11 on the machine and the gains from any of the new stuff wasn't noticeable so I'm sticking with it......







For now

My favorite clubs. I think they make the best irons. Their drivers are just ok, but their irons and wedges are legit. My next set of new irons will be Pings.

Surprisingly, I don't see them mentioned on here to often.
