jerchpd asked:


I have been playing golf for a while (about 3 years), and I am looking to upgrade my clubs. I have a make-shift set of clubs now composed of various brands of golf clubs that are “aged” and outdated. I have narrowed it down to two different sets I would like to get and just can’t seem to make up my mind. Therefore I would like some input on which set would be better for me. I usually shoot around a 90 - 95 on the two courses I play.

The sets are Adams Tight Lies 18 piece set (10.5* 460cc driver, 3 & 5 wood, #4 Hybrid, #5 - PW irons, Mallet style putter and Stand Bag)

http://www.tgw.com/customer/category/product.jsp?SUBCATEGORY_ID=10691

or

Orlimar XV-4 set (10.5* 460cc Driver, 3 & 5 Wood, 3 Hybrid, 4 & 5 Hybrid Iron, #6 - PW & SW, putter, and cart bag)

http://www.tgw.com/customer/category/product.jsp?SUBCATEGORY_ID=8627

I like the bag that comes with the Orlimar set better, and I usually ride 18 holes, but are the Adams clubs that much better?
Well I am getting ready to order (probably Monday 7th ) and I am leaning towards the Orlimar set. I would really like some input from anybody that has either one of these sets. I am not able to try them out before I purchase them as I can’t find a Retail store in my area that carries either one. TGW.com does have an exchange program, but I have read that their shipping and returns take FOREVER. I would obviously like to get it right the first time.

SHORTEE ROzE asked:


My boyfriend and his brother’s grandpa pasted away and they inherited his baseball,basketball, football, and Golf cards. They have about 100 boxes full of them (id say they got more than 10,000 cards) of them ranging from the early 1920’s to 2008. We’ve been calling shops everywhere in are area and nobody buys the cards except for the 1950’s. My question is What can we do? they want to get rid of them, should we try Ebay or an actual trading card website to sell them? were at a loss right now. They also have about 100 Bennie babies in mint condition in clear boxes, and the mini beanies in boxes, and nobody around here buys them…any help would be greatly appreciated!
oh yeah also some auto graphed cards and about 500 of the cards are already graded.
i mean i also have cards that our worth 1,000 dollars. is ebay really all?

I want to do girls golf my sophomore year in highschool. First I wasn’t going to do golf because my parents said that it was pricey & we have to drive to the golf course everyday but i really like golf. The golf coach is also my PE teacher & he says that im getting good & I should join next year since i didnt get to join this year. My parents are OK with it. Should I buy these golf clubs now, because I dont think they will still have them next year. I think theyre perfect for me because Im kinda small & I dont want a full set. Should I buy them now or wait until I actually get on the team? eh . .

Easy Traveling With your Golf Clubs

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

Golf Gift asked:


Golf clubs could be quite an expensive investment. However, aside from its cost, you also want to make sure that when you play, you are using your golf clubs that are in great condition to deliver your best game. This is why if you would be traveling with your golf clubs, it is imperative that they are protected from any damage caused by banging or rough handling. Here are a few tips to remember when you are traveling with your golf clubs.

Pack your golf clubs in a golf travel case or bag so that they will be protected. These are available from any golf store and you will surely find one that would fit your taste and budget. The two types of the golf travel cases available are hard shell and soft shell. If you would be traveling by air, it is more advisable to use the hard shell. Most airlines are willing to cover any damages if your golf clubs have been packed in a hard case first. However, you would still need to inquire about this with your airline company.

Hard shell cases are able to offer protection from demanding environments. Most of these are made with heavy molded plastic, which will help in protecting your clubs from hard throws, drops or any severe banging. The hard cases could cost a bit more than the soft cases, but the protection you would be giving your clubs would prove to be a worthwhile investment.

The soft shell cases could also be a good alternative, as long as you will be packing your clubs well. Although the level of protection your clubs will be getting would not be the same as with the hard cases, you could still ensure that they will end up with no damages by packing carefully. This would also work better if you will be traveling by car.

By packing your clubs carefully and placing them in a golf travel case, you would certainly be able to keep all your golf clubs safe from any damage that could be caused by elements or rough handling even when you travel.

mabisking26 asked:


I need help Ive worked at 4 golf courses and pretty much love golf but hated the head pro all but one. I worked outside made tips got free golf I loved it im now 28 and understand the golf business is kinda pretentious. I love golf and don’t want to be a lousy golf shop attendant I want to be a head pro I know the routes available you must apprentice blah blah blah… Or got o school like sdga it cost 20,000 to learn crap but some if its good im not that cynical. Either way short of owning my own course and being the head pro what can I do I would like to learn the ropes but most golf pros are jerks and wouldn’t like a go getter like me they would feel threatened and probably fire me. the golf courses ive worked at have proven this ive known 3 guys get fired because they did not fit in they were cool knew tons about golf but were just fired because they were to aggressive. the people they kept were easily subordinate nice guys did their jobs and worked behind the counter. what is the alternate route for an aggressive guy like me im likable im nice but show enthusiasm and spirit. and program in junior college i can take to better my credentials?

Should I get a club fitting before golf lessons?

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

unclebigsave asked:


I’ve been playing golf for a few years now and have had one series of lessons, but am I still a high handicapper. I’ve been thinking about getting private lessons this time around. However, I recently got a new set of golf clubs as a present and I’m not sure they’re fitted correctly for me. I want to get a club fitting to see what kind of adjustments need to be made on the clubs. Which should I do first? The club fitting or the lessons?

Should I get mens clubs or ladies clubs?

Friday, January 15th, 2010
golf shop
gadzig asked:


When I purchased my ancient clubs a lot of years ago,the guy at the golf shop watched me hit a few and told me I should get men’s clubs.So I did. I’m 5′3″,and the clubs I bought weren’t too long for me. I hit a pretty long ball(My tee shots are usually in the 225-250 range).But now I am almost 60,and I want to know about the difference in flex, in ladies v. mens clubs. Also,I have seen “senior” flex.
This is my second golf question tonight,and I should have combined the two questions.
Thank you to anyone who responds.
