Best piece of golf equipment

DU.LLAHAN

I was just wondering is there any piece of golf equipmeant people use, that they think is the best buy for me its a wedge i got few months back it's a 52 degree alien wedge it only cost me 25 euro excellent value, i love using aroud the greens about 30 - 50 yards from the green. it has improved my short game immensely

My Sun Mountain golf bag. It's over 10 years old and was holding up well until I stuffed a wedge through it earlier so I'll have to get another one.

Bushnell laser rangefinder:



I got it in a pawn shop in Las Vegas for $115 in September. Amazing bit of kit.
Im never long or short now due to wrong club selection. Its great for tee shots & lay ups too as it allows you to leave your fave distance to the pin.

Without a doubt, it's my KZG Hyrbid 22 degree club!!!:)

Even when you are forbidden from using it?

Things are so much more fun when they're forbidden, dontcha tink?

Tom lad, don't fret now ... you can of course use it any time that takes your fancy in practice rounds. You can even use them in competition if the club has a local rule allowing their use.

Tom Ghostwood

Im not forbidden. Im not a member of any club & dont play competitions.

Ruling wise, they are competition legal. The ones that measure slope arent.
Since they are legal am I okay to use them? Like, is it up to the club to make a rule to ban them? Or do they make a rule to allow the use of them?

Ive phrased it badly but you get me yeah?

PhilipMarlowe

They are generally not allowed in competition unless the club makes a local rule to specifically allow them.
I don't have an idea of the approximate breakdown of clubs that may allow them? I think I've only seen it once on a card that they are allowed (waterford?).

For inter-club competitions in the provinces they are disallowed in the conditions regardless of what local rules clubs may have in place.

If you are not playing in competition then it really isn't an issue that you use them or not.

Sandwich

'Competition Legal' means that a club is allowed by the rules of the R&A to declare a local rule that permits them to be used. By default they are not permitted. In a sense, the R&A, sat on the fence on this one and pushed the decision down to individual club level.

Back to technology:

To pick the best piece of technology people can buy that will improve their game: a hybrid club. Or several. Discard your low irons and get them if you havent already. Interesting also because the shape is getting back to the baffie, spoon shape of a hundred year ago. Why did we ever go down the road of 17 and 20 degree irons at all?

PhilipMarlowe

The hybrids are fantastic and all but there is so much more joy to be had out of a well struck 3 iron! I know it doesn't make sense when you are talking about results but there is a challenge about taming the monster too

I used to carry a 1 and a 2 iron (FFS, what was I thinking). I do know what you mean though. But was it just the rarity of the pure strike that gave us the thrill?:o

still have my old ping eye 2 one iron here. it comes out for windy links play.... although it seems to be getting harder to hit once ive become used to a 19deg hybrid.

Id have to go with electric golf trolley. Makes the round much easier on the old body, must be worth 2 or 3 shots;)
