Ended up ordering a Bell putter. It arrived so I threw it in the bag this morning, early returns promising but we'll see how I do on faster greens tomorrow.

Picked up a Bushnell Phantom 3 yesterday. It’s my first ever piece of golf technology and it was great, especially for someone used to using stakes and sprinkler heads to establish distances. Unfortunately I know I’m going to leave it stuck to the cart (via magnet) at some point in the future.

Got the clubs out for the 1st time in 12 years and realized I only have 13. (D-3-5, 4-PW, 52,56, P) My irons and wedges are Cleveland and obviously old, so I was thrilled when I found this old Cleveland 60 for $30. Soaked it in vinegar over night and rubbed it with steel wool.

Just had a new grip put on, so in a few hours it’ll be ready for the range.

Just ordered the Clicgear 4.0.

Visiting my 90 year old dad this weekend. Got his old putter out and gave it the vinegar and steel wool treatment. He was happy to see me clean it up and hopefully use it.



Did the same with an old Ping putter my late mother bought me 35+ years ago. I now have 3 excellent putters but cannot putt to save my life.

Spent $165 at the local used equipment shop for a driver and 2 hybrids. Never hit a hybrid before yesterday and now I’m forever changed.

Pro tip, if you want intelligent golf advice ask here instead of randoms in the AMA forum. We have a clue here.

Anyone know of a half decent range finder at a reasonable price,

I did have the shotscope pro lx or something it was great. Only thing was it came with the tracking stuff and I never made use of it as it was a bit of a pain compared to just having the watch to track stuff with. I then sold that and bought a cheap one.

It does the job but its very frustrating. Hard to pic up the flag and then read the numbers.

Things I need.

- Slope on and off
- Flag lock even when slope is off
- needs to be clear

any suggestion much appreciated.

I have both a GPS device (Bushnell Phantom 3 that has the slope function) and a range finder (Tasco T2G) and think it's a perfect combination. I'm not good enough to need hyper accurate yardage, and don't want to have to look thru that thing for each shot. The Phantom 3 is perfect for routine shots and is currently on sale for $125 or so at Dick's. It gives distance to front, back and center of the green, as well as the distance to hazards. It also has an app for your phone that gives a detailed map of each hole. It also has a score keeping function, tracks all of your rounds and compiles statistics like fairways hit, greens in regulation, putts per round, etc. For a golf dork like me, it's awesome. The range finder costs $70. It's bare bones, but it does what I need it to, namely tell me how far away something is within +/- 1 meter. I mostly rely on the Phantom 3. If I am skeptical or want another distance, I use the range finder.

I suspect that you won't be able to do as well for $200 with another set up.

Well, I broke my stealth driver over the holiday. Face popped out, so TM is sending me out a Qi10 as a replacement. Can't wait to see if there is any noticeable difference. I know the stealth was reportedly hard to hit, so we will see if this 20+ handicapper notices any difference.

Had some yellow bubbling on the face of my stealth in December. Sent them photos and had Qi10 within a few days.
Am getting a bit more yardage.
Trajectory similar.
