Saw Mygolfspy released the review of the wedges from 2026, I not gonna lie, I've only tried the irons from Kirkland, specifically the 4 iron and Maaaaan it felt really solid it had a nice weight. Anyone has tried or owns the wedges and driver?

I did end up buying 3 boxes

I just bought a brand new set of Foreward irons from their local certified fitter, and this is what I pick up.

Foreward claims they'd never send heads out like this. The local builder (Foreward associated) said the 8 iron came with the toe damage but the rest he didn't notice any damage when building them. He said this was their last set of satin heads available until October.

Foreward told me to contact the builder for a resolution. I just spoke with the builder and he kept saying it happens all the time because they're sooooo soft (1020 steel), which I get. But my copper irons that are even softer then their irons look better than this after a dozen or so rounds with them.

The only resolutions offered so far are to discount the 8 iron cost down to his cost, replace the 8 iron only in October, or get a whole new set of heads also in October, probably ready early November.

Bend marks aren't terribly uncommon, but can be avoided by protecting the head, and I'll admit the hosel and sole pebbles are from the loft/lie machine. The rest? No fucking clue.

And somehow, I still wouldn’t trade this ridiculous, frustrating, amazing game for anything in the world.

I think it’s pretty easy to say if you’ve made over $4 million playing professional golf you shouldn’t be able to reclaim your amateur status.

I hope they don’t let us down.

Went to my first every LIV golf event in Indianapolis last week because my son wanted to go and it was only $40 and 10 miles away. Overall, we had a really great time, but that was partially because it was not very crowded, no lines, etc. Other than BD and Rahm (who were playing together), you could basically walk right next to any other threesome. Of course, not having enough fans is what has caused its probable downfall.

So, a great time, but a few things to note. First, I'm a moderately avid golf fan, and I didn't really know much more about the team concept in LIV until I showed up at the event. That says something. Second thing, the music. I don't get it. I'm not necessarily a purist or anything, but you're out in nature, in a beautiful setting, watching great athletes. Hearing remixes of Kenny Chesney followed by the latest K-Pop song doesn't really add anything.

Great tournament, and kudos to all the volunteers, etc., who made it happen for the city. But at the end of the day, I left wondering what I think everyone is wondering, "Why does the world need LIV golf?" The fact that I went to their championship event and didn't know the answer probably speaks to their pending bankruptcy filing.

We ended up playing 63 holes from just after breakfast to dusk. Couldn't ask for a better 9 hole loop to play again and again.

1st ever Eagle from the fairway. No. 2 handicap hole, slightly elevated. Green wasn’t visible. Club was a no. 4 Ping G435h. The ball was a Maxfli Tour.

The ball flew toward the right edge of the green, hit a mound and bounced left when I got there a ball was suiting right on the edge of the green. But it wasn’t mine. Partner suggested I check off the back of the green. Nothing there, either. Must be in the hole. Yup. Only my 2nd Eagle.

Finally completed my pencil case. Trying to find a fellow redditor who’s a member at each of the privates, and a redditor who’s played all the public’s! Comment if one of these fit you, and I’ll update the list in bold to indicate someone has claimed it! Which will be the last one claimed? 🤔

Obligatory “man on a motorcycle” shot for the last picture.

I don’t see much discussion or reviews for these online, but my putting has never been better.

The only thing I don’t 100% care for is the “doink!” sound it makes when hitting the ball.

Curious to know what you all think

Was just playing so accurately and careful, always taking the percentage shot, the layup, teeing off with my hybrid in places the driver could mean trouble. 80% swings only, that kind of thing.

Conpletely surpassed my previous record of 48 holes one ball, so close to 100.

Lost it on a dog leg left where I had no thought at all that I'd lose it because I'm naturally a draw player, and randomly hit a fade into a ravine. RIP.

Proud of the accomplishment though, and as a result of my conservative play in these tournaments I'm currently ranked #1 in my country's national order of merit for the ladies division. Not a huge accomplishment since it's a small country with even less lady golfers (maybe 150 total) but still kind of neat.

Assuming you are playing the whites and there are two more tee boxes ahead of you, the yellows or the reds. If you have to hit driver from where you are at in this situation, you are playing the wrong tee box and need to be playing at least one set up. I saw this on the course today and I was flabbergasted. Why would you make the game harder for yourself?

There is nothing wrong with moving up a set of tees or playing the shortest ones possible. If that is how you have to play golf who gives a shit? Not giving yourself an opportunity to make the green in regulation does not make any sense.

Played our local muni this weekend, packed day, backups on every hole. My friends and I are all new to golf, still taking lessons, nowhere near good. We play scramble to keep pace. On a par 5, one of my friends hit a drive that went 280 yards, dead straight. None of us have ever broken 200, let alone hit it straight. It was an absolute miracle. Problem was, there were golfers about 300 yards out. The ball landed near them, we yelled fore immediately. One guy hopped in his cart, drove over, and started screaming at us like we shot his god and tried to hurt someone intentionally. We tried explaining that this shot was a total fluke, my friend couldn’t repeat it in 100 tries, but he wasn’t hearing it. Kept yelling until a marshal came over and made us skip the hole.

So, did we actually mess up here, or was this guy out of line?

I finally went 18 holes without losing a ball. This one's going on the shelf.
