    Apple Vision Pro AR Headset

    As long as none of the movies you want to watch are longer than 2 hours and you never want to watch with anyone else. It's basically a modernized version of HoloLens. That's kind of Apple's sweet spot (consolidating and modernizing other people's tech) so I wouldn't bet against them, but I...

    It's not really about skill level or even swing speed. X-flex shafts generally launch lower and with less spin, but are also more stable on the transition. If you have a fast tempo and tend to hit it high or spinny, it may be the right thing for you. When you go for a driver fitting...

    For anything that gives you actual club path or face to path info you're looking at a $6k-30k device (Launch Pro/GC3, GC Quad, Trackman, some Flightscope devices, etc.)

    The schedule will be different next year with more even spacing between the designated events, and they have more options to skip designated events if they want to.

    They won't offer anything for a range session, if that's what you mean. They track which clubs were hit how far for each shot, but they calculate the distance by using an external GPS (phone or watch) to know how far you've gone between each shot. Unless you walk to your range ball and add...

    2023 Masters

    When was the last time you went on a 12 mile hike? How about 6-8 miles 5 days in a row? It's a lot, no matter your age. It's not climbing Everest or anything, but it's pretty exhausting. After a few days at Bandon I always feel like I could sleep for 2 days straight. Some of that is a 4 day...

    2023 Masters

    Since this never actually got answered, an 18 hole round is ~6-8 miles. These guys did at least 12 miles of brutal hills today. That place is exhausting to walk.

    18 was downwind, but the winds had mostly calmed by the late afternoon. Either way, it was an amazing shot. Wish I could have followed the whole round today.

    He would have. He still has all-time money exemptions.

    Crossings is lots of fun if you have extra time. I just got the email about the 19 hole par 3 course going in between Trails and the ocean, basically just off of 1 and 2 and south of The Preserve. It's going to be super fun from the sounds of it. There's also a 6th 18 hole course going in...

    Caddies don't get paid unless players get paid, outside of their stipend for the week's travel expenses (usually around $5-7k). Their cut is usually 7-10% for a regular TOUR caddie (not a local pickup, which may be negotiated beforehand). Unlike other sports, agents don't get a cut of a...

    Ok, so what's the right score to finish Pebble? Tiger destroyed the field 23 years ago with -12 in a US Open setup (par 71). What should he have shot? Was the ball too hot then? What do people want to see? Is it long rewarding iron players? Better short games because more people miss...

    I haven't had a chance to read any commentary from tour players about this. Who's been whining about it?

    2023 PGA Tour

    Shorter driver shafts., smaller driver heads, minimum driver lofts, less driver forgiveness, plant some trees, add some lakes, add some bunkers. pros can only use 10 clubs, maximum lofts, restrictions on club materials, etc. I could come up with a nearly endless way to make golf harder for...

    That's not really the point though. Why make this particular change? If it will have no effect, why do it? If they really wanted to limit distance off the tee, there were lots of other options that don't cause any bifurcation.

    Yes, this is the original point. The USGA cares about scores on "beloved golden-era" courses. The problem isn't distance, it's forgiveness. And the problem is only with the driver, not the other clubs, so why limit the ball. The objection is not to doing "something", it's to the something...

    Then why do it? Players don't change balls to ones that fly 10% shorter. And elite players pretty much only change balls when paid to do so. They change clubs much more often, but that's not the change being made. Why not (yeah, I know why not)? My point was that playing all of your golf...

    This is a dumb decision IMO. The longest hitters are still going be the longest hitters. Think back to "Tiger-proofing" the golf courses. All it did was make it easier for Tiger and harder for everyone else. This is Tiger proofing the golf ball. It also has all kinds of knock-on effects...

    Yeah, that's what I'm saying. If you don't have dots or a radar ball indoors, all bets are off.
