Hi: I know some folks out there have experience with the skycaddie and I might be looking to get one, although my budget is very limited. 1) I might just want to try an older SG2? Anyone here ever used it? Would it be just as accurate for Front/Center/Back of Green as an SG5? 2) I see...

i calculate i will play 50 rounds in 2010. i will lose 3 balls on average per round (to water/leaves/sun/woods/theft) 150/12 = 12 dozen golf balls needed for this year. how many golf balls do you go through per year?

I figured now would be a good time to trial some new balls for when they ultimately get discontinued and closed out, so I picked of a sleeve each of the Tour iX and TP Red to give them a whirl. Now that I've played a few rounds, here's the head to head comparison. 1. Driver distance. Slight...

Has anyone here purchased balls from this company? I thinking buying some but would like some feedback...thanks. Scott

I have not see any buzz yet about the new 3 piece D2 ball called the Gamer. It does not replace the feel ball but it is now a step up. The best part is it will cost roughly the same as the D2s except the box will be sold by the dozen not a 15 pack. I am very excited to try these new balls out...

Anybody tried this yet? Been playing with it and really like it. Not being a great putter I like it for my tempo and to see the impact position. I've tried it on my Scotty and Spider and what consistencies i tend to have while putting with both. The app is free but the cradle is $30 :( ....the only...

I went to G.T. today to buy a push cart, and apparently the new Clicgear 3.0 model will be arriving at stores in the next couple of weeks, however, I can't seem to find any info on it. For example, what changes have been made, etc... I was at Golftown today and they have them ordered and could tell...

The title says it all. I find that I can get 4-5 rounds out of a glove before they start to get slippery. I've been using Titleist and Callaway gloves lately. Anybody come across one that seems more durable?

Just ordered this unit , my first golf gps , I hope it's good ,if anyone has any info on this please feel free to comment

I am torn between getting a golf specific GPS (Calleyway, Garmin, etc) or a smart-phone GPS app. I am at the end of a Bell contract and will be negotiating with Rogers/Bell/Telus/etc for a new phone/service contract. Any suggestions or recommendations?

I have a new LG Android phone, and have started looking at getting a Golf GPS app for it. The Android Market lists quite a few. Does anyone have any experience good, bad or otherwise with these aps. Thanks,

I'm a locoste and RL polo man myself but looking for something new. What are some other shirts (collared) that make for great golf shirts? Don't care if they are expensive, or if they are cheap and just really well designed and put together :) thanks, can you tell golf is around the corner??...

Does this thing really work? I've read that after hitting a ball 10-15 times, you have knocked it out of round and it won't roll completly true. That makes me think that if you mark your ball with this device and then use it all day, the line will be useless by the time you get the 18th hole....

I know there have been many threads on this subject but after a trip to the launch monitor it was recommended that I use a low compression ball with my swing and ball speed. Since then I have tried different brands of low compression balls (Noodle long& soft - Titleist Soft Feel - Top Flite Tour...

Well just based on sheer curiosity, I decided to seek one of these shafts to give it a whirl. After searching high and low, I finally found one online and pulled the trigger on it. I have since resorted back to smaller driver heads, so this shaft was going into a 10.5* TM 510 TP. To this day,...

A cut or a scuff... how much does it effect the ball flight? I usually get rid of the ball as soon I as see either. Am I just wasting balls?

who can recommend a good pair? I tried on the Weathersof at GT today. any other recommendations?

After posting the Tour Bag kit for Clicgear carts awhile back i was forwarded the following of all the attachments available, just thought i would share them here for anyone that hasn't seen them. Apparently the newest release by popular demand is the 8.0 model, which is a 4 wheel version....

Seeing how well the XL 2000 performs for me I was thinking of trying some other two piece balls that are oriented more towards spin. I know the new Top-Flite Z-Balata is the same as the XL 2000 E.S. but was looking at perhaps the Noodle Rotini, Loco Bite, Pinnacle Exception. Tried the NXT Tour and...

I'm looking for the specs on these, cant find them anywhere. Would they be the same as the apex. If anyone knows of a site that I can find the specs on these It would be much apreciated.Thanks

Hi Everyone, I just purchased an iPhone and I am wondering what the best iPhone range finder apps are for playing courses in the Ottawa area? I play most of my golf at: Canadian Greensmere Cedarhill Stonebridge

ive searched and searched obviously i cant word it the right way, but anyways im setting up optishot in my garage i was wondering what kind of screens and nets you guys have made out of some around the house kind of products.. for instance i read somewhere on here how a guy made and impact screen...

Has anyone played a Pinnacle lately? On a recent trip, I found a Pinnacle Power-Core and an Exception while searching for my ball in the woods. As punishment, I decided to play them until I could hit a bloody fairway. I was shocked - they were actually pretty good - much better than the...

Been looking for a good rain jacket for a while, but all the regular Gortex ones seem to be either way too tight or stick out too much interfering with the swing and, especially, putting. Today went to Golftown and saw a Sunmountain RainFlex jacket, which is made out of some kind of stretchy...

I recently returned a Golf Buddy Tour. I took it out to Cedarhill and walked a few holes. It was off by as much as 15 yards to some of the bunkers. I have read good things about Sonnocaddie v300 and I have recently tested their responsiveness by asking them to map Manderley, The Meadows and The...

Hey, I did the golf ball fitting test at the Bridgestone website. There recomendation was the e6+. Looking at Knet and they have both the e6 and e6+. Any input into the difference...always looking to save a few bucks but if the performance is really different then I won't be so cheep. Thanks...

After Phil's claim yesterday about outdriving Tiger what is in your honest opinion the best ball out there distance wise?:bfiring http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/golfonline/news/2003/02/05/phil_tiger_ap/

Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone has an old Sun Mountain E-Cart. I have one, but the electronics aren't working right; i think it happened because of a tipover last year. I have batteries. This retired guy would like to use the ecart again especially on hilly courses, but it's not...

I've been through 3 or 4 pairs of shoes in the last 2 years because my feet are killing me after walking 18 holes. Since I stopped carrying last year, not because I wanted to just for my feet, things have improved marginally. Play Emerald yesterday and my feet were so swollen this morning I...

Has anybody used the Bushnell Tour v2 and how it compares to the Bushnell PinSeeker 1500........ I have been reading a few reviews and they seem to indicate the v2 is cheap and not as good as the Bushnell PinSeeker 1500.... Thanks

Hi guys--getting ready to pull the trigger :-) Looking at the Skycaddie---I think it has the best value for dollar BUT they do not seem to have the best reputation. If it works --great--if it does not it seems you are up against the wall--especially if it has to be shipped out of country. ...

I was just wondering if I can have some feedback on good rain gear. What do people use and how satisfied they are? Make and model please? Also, has anyone bought rain gear from ebay? Thanks

So I bought 100 hogan apex tours on ebay for $50us shipped. Turns out about 15-20 of the balls have the word "practice" written on them but are in AAAA condition, looks as if it hasn't even been it. Will this effect the playability of the ball? Are these balls built to different specs? Or are...

Head's up for you Taylormade fans. Just got my Leaderboard email and the TPs are on sale for $35. In store and online.

Anyone know when they will be arriving in stores?

Does anyone have an TM wrench that they'd be willing to part with? I need one to modify the weighting on my R7 Limited. Please send me a PM with information on the cost, if any. Thanks.

Wondering what balls people play and their hcp.... I was a 4.2hcp last year but I havent kept track this year due to work, new house...and not much time to play. I will be getting a membership next year.. I tried the Srixon Z-UR-S and loved it, nice med-high flight, goes long off the driver...

I was browsing the equipment thread and started wondering about golf balls. And being a relatively new golfer (old one too ), I often walk into a place like Golf Town and am overwhelmed by the array of balls for sale. What I really wonder is - does the ball REALLY make that much difference? This...

With my swing in the toilet I was going to switch back to playing the Gamer V2 but I can't find any in the city. Anyone know where I can pick a box of these up? Thanks, Latch

Was at Costco today and came across a ball I did not recognize, the Taylormade soft select. Anyone ever hear of these or can give some intel on them? According to Costco's website: The SoftSelect DDz is a new ball for TaylorMade Golf. It has explosive distance off the tee, precision and...

hi I am thinking of buying a caddy? Has anyone bought an mgi one?

http://www.pccoach.com/reviews/suunto/suunto_g6pro_5m.htm My girlfriend picked me up one of these for an anniversary gift and I have yet to try it out. It was a very generous and thoughtful gift, and I'm hoping it will help out my golf game (right now typically shooting high 80s low 90s). ...

I'm looking for a new GPS to replace my Callaway and GT has a Skycaddie SGX and Golfbuddy Platinum on sale at $349 each. I'm not fond of annual fees. Salesman at GT states they sell Skycaddie 3 to 1 over Golfbudddy. The sale is on this weekend only. Any advice on these units?

I posted in the spring that Callaway was opening a fitting centre in Mtl . It is now open for business and I am going there on Saturday for a 1 hour fitting on irons and woods. The cost is $60. I will report on it when I get back. I had fitting session in June at K Haimes with Callaway so it...

I thought of more racy thread titles, but I kept it clean!! :) Rediscovered golf last year after a ~10 year hiatus. Getting to the point in my game where I have *some* level of control on my shots, and am interested in testing out different golf galls. In terms of my game, I've been hitting...

a few years ago during golftown's regrip event, I went and changed all my clubs to the golf pride multi compound based on a recommendation from a forum member. well ... it's the time again ... was just wondering what you guys were using / any recommendations? anything "new" in the grip...
