@FinesseTration @baldassarreted Bro, you have problems which a watch alone cannot resolve.

Is the new Longines HydroConquest the dive watch release of the year?
English
@StingrGolf Looks like my course now that school is out for the summer oh it’s so annoying

Scottie Scheffler attempting birdie putts mid arrest. Relatable.

@NUCLRGOLF Until my playing partners shame me and make me feel poor

🚨⛳️🧤 #DISCUSSION — How often do you typically replace your golf glove?
Footjoy recommends getting a new glove about every 5 rounds. Some golfers go until skin is showing. Where do you draw the line?
English
@CadDaddieKrink @LukeKerrDineen Agreed. Just had this conversation with a friend. Grew up in FL on nothing but Bermuda greens caddying and playing where every putt has break. I play on bent now; looks like there is break and there isn’t. As a blade user and someone used to Bermuda it can be maddening!
English
@LukeKerrDineen As a caddie, blade putters still have a place — players who grew up reading greens with them aren't giving that up easy. The mallet takeover is real on Tour but Colonial this week is exactly the course where a confident blade putter thrives on Bermuda greens.
English
@GOLF_com The PGA represents tradition, and many new golfers from the COVID-YouTube golf era see the PGA as an elitist establishment that shuns “commoners” and “fun” which isn’t the case, they just haven’t played the game long enough. Phil won the war. Let LIV fold. The experiment is over.
English
"I respect everybody that says that I'm the worst thing for golf or I'm the best thing for golf ... I'm so focused on what I can do for the game that somebody saying something online or to me personally in my face is not going to distract me from the mission that I have."
Love him or hate him — Bryson DeChambeau doesn't care either way.
English
Dear @PhilMickelson No one has even appeared to be even nearly as “loose” as you on the golf course, other than maybe Freddy. Forget swing mechanics…what can I do to “feel” more loose? My greatest problem is getting tense and feeling “trapped” in my swing under pressure. Thanks.
English
@MattWalshBlog To each their own. I quit drinking 8 years ago just to simply feel better and healthier, and totally lost interest to where I don’t even think about alcohol. I don’t think alcohol has anything to do with masculinity. If anything, quitting has enhanced my testosterone and drive.
English
The anti-alcohol stuff has become totally hysterical. It’s the worst and the gayest of the 90s anti-smoking propaganda all over again. Give up alcohol if you want but the stuff isn’t battery acid. A sip won’t send you to the hospital. A glass of wine ruined three days of your life? When did it become normal and acceptable for men to brag about their weak constitutions? Really weird.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

@NUCLRGOLF Getting arrested by a Texas cop in a 10 gallon hat is punishment enough. He’s probably still in an interrogation room being questioned if he’s a communist sympathizer
English
@MyGolfSpy I was fit by the PING rep for irons in 2013, after always playing “stock” irons. No disrespect, but so-called club fitting isn’t for me or possibly many amateurs. If you change brand of golf shoes you’re going to compromise loft, lie, etc. Shaft weight is all that matters tbh
English
Getting fit for a whole set of irons by ONLY hitting a 7-iron is kind of insane when you think about it.
You don’t play just one iron.
Not to mention, the data shows the “best” 7-iron isn’t always the best full set.
Read this before your next fitting: buff.ly/dR6EVms

@thwacknicklaus Somehow the “zero-torque” putter bypassed late night Golf Channel ads but somehow Adam Scott put one in his bag and the ball got rolling…no pun intended
English
Narrator:
It is.
(And Edwin Watts will have piles of these in their $50 bin a few years from now…)

Golf is getting flooded with capital. $200M just went into a putter company. Here’s why the LAB Golf deal isn’t a fluke:
English
@EliteGolfDad My first “real” driver was a Titleist 975D with a stock Graffaloy shaft in 2001. It was $399 which in hindsight sounds like nothing but then that was massive to me. It’s simple inflation.
English
I know golf is in a bubble and bubbles always pop. I also know once companies know consumers will pay certain prices for goods, they’re never going to lower prices - even when the bubble pops.
Yes, this has a $350 shaft, but the head itself is still $700. Not calling out Titleist here. This is industry standard.
I just don’t see how this is sustainable. Normal people everywhere can hardly buy groceries right now. Debt is rising like crazy.
Yes, golf lends itself to higher earners by nature. It’s an expensive game.
But we’re at a point now where $700 is an off the rack price for a new driver. Want to get fitted? You’re looking at close to $1000 or more.
These are now the floor. It’ll only get worse from here.
At what point do golfers push back? And what if they do? I’m not a financial genius by any means. Where’s the breaking point where cost drives down demand?
And who loses? Us? OEMs? Courses? Everybody?
English
@CarsleyGolf Long and soft like Freddy the Freeloader *I call him the Freeloader endearingly because no one is better at playing in events or getting invited to clubs simply because he’s Fred Couples…
English
When you’re between clubs, do you take the shorter one and swing hard, or the longer one and "swing soft"?
English
@NUCLRGOLF @golfnjokes None. Throw that ball down and dig deep and hit a beautiful towering fade inside 5ft
English
@Joe_aficionado @NUCLRGOLF Agreed. Even “golf heckling” is like nothing. If you go to a soccer event in England (sorry Brits) the amount of verbal punishment they dish out is at a high-level. But still, they aren’t going to call Rory a “wanker” at Troon, unless David Beckham was with him at a pro-am
English
@NUCLRGOLF Golf is so soft, nothing wrong with what he said... the Ryder cup is a team event, the players are pros, they should resist some heckling...
English
🚨🏌️🌅 #NEW — The PGA of America has issued a statement saying Don Rea is out as President and Vice President Nathan Charnes, PGA, will now serve as Acting President, effective immediately.
English
@NUCLRGOLF Who am I to say, but you can’t blame the PGA for not being able to control some rowdy fans, especially NY. It’s not like there is a vetting process; it’s just the hope fans recognize the decorum of golf…which they don’t these days, because all respect down to apparel is indecent
English
@engineeringolf I play the COBRA Tour 4-PW bent 1* strong with KBS Tour C-taper. Best irons I’ve played by far…but, I custom ordered the 3DP Tour 7-PW and they are very smooth, great feedback!
English
Here’s one I found recently:
-Cobra: standard lie angles
-Cobra One-Length: reverse lie angles
-Bryson (Avoda): same lie angles
Conclusion: 🤷♂️
(Screenshots from the iron guide beta. This is the last teaser before I launch.)

@FinesseTration A beaut! That face have any life left in it?

@engineeringolf just got a piece of excellence. Need to see how my 2001 high school wedge game meets my current wedge game. This is peak wedge craftsmanship and engineering
