We complain about a lot of things related to this sport on this reddit. We need to be more appreciative of what we have.

Today we were walking from the 5th green to the 6th tee. Some friends had just gotten to the 10th tee, right next to the 6th tee, and they yelled over, " do you know CPR?" I went right over, a golfer was face down next to the tee box. They had already called 911 and the clubhouse. We got him rolled over and started chest compressions. Clubhouse got there within 90 seconds with an AED and we started that process. Rescue squad arrived 8-10 minutes later and took over from us.

I don't know how long he was there before we found him. Couldn't have been more than a minute or two. Nothing more we could do. Confirmed a few hours later that he had passed away. So unbelievably sad. It was a glorious fall day. We were just out there doing what we love to do. You never know when you've holed your last putt.

Friends, please get some basic CPR training. You never know when having basic skills can give a friend or a family member a chance to get to tomorrow.

There was a Reddit thread with good deals on mint spiders w/ discount codes you could stack. Total came out to $160 for a brand new putter, can’t beat it

Pic is from Google, not calling out whoever that dude is 🤣

29M in the NE US. Never thought I would be a country club guy, I grew up poor. Didn’t play golf until I was 17 thanks to my best friend who worked at course and got us free golf. Thankfully my mom made sure I worked hard and did half decent in college to set me up for my career. Moved away from home by a few hours four years ago. Golf became my hobby instead of a drinking activity. I’m obsessed now and am closing in on single digit. After playing a US Open venue and playing 70+ public rounds in 2026, I made the decision to apply. To my surprise, a month later I’m in. It’s closing in on the end of the season but that’s okay. I’m looking forward to next year!

Additionally, the girl is happy about wine nights and the pool so I foresee a lot more rounds played next year.

Curious as to others experiences. What did you love and what did you not expect?

Everyone once in a while, I encourage all of you to play from the red tees. I do this 1-2 times per year. It really tests your long irons (off the tee) and short game. Plus it really is fun!

I came across this post on r/LabGolf and something about it struck me as a little off.

The OP apparently had an issue with their putter, and a L.A.B. Golf account responded almost immediately saying:

“Shoot be a dm. We’ll get it taken care of! We will get it to you Tuesday”

Then another account jumps in with a pretty glowing comment about how they don’t even own a LAB putter, but the response “really made me question why I don’t have one” and calls it “Top notch support.”

The OP then responds that @TreyLABGolf is the man and that he has helped them out in the past.
Maybe I’m completely overthinking this, but look at the spelling in the screenshot: both the OP and the L.A.B. account use “be” where “me” would make sense. Obviously that could be a coincidence, and a typo by itself means nothing. But combined with the very convenient promotional exchange between the accounts, it made me wonder whether the OP account is actually affiliated with L.A.B. or is being used to promote the brand.

I’m not accusing anyone of anything. I genuinely don’t know what’s going on here, but if OP has worked with Trey in the past, why not reach out to them again instead of making this post? 🤔

The interaction just struck me as unusually promotional.

My son found this Scotty Cameron in a brush burn pile on our home course a few years ago. I found it in the garage today while doing some cleaning. I’m pretty sure he forgot about it, so I had the thought of trying to get it restored for him, but have no clue where to start. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I wouldn’t change her for the world, I’m just too attached at this point…

I’ve gone to the range and played golf consistently for about two years. I’ve shot 91 and I’ve shot 110+. Got fitted for clubs, I’ve had two lessons with pros, and played when I was younger.

But recently it’s just gotten bad. I either hit my irons great or shank and slice it to hell. I just broke my shaft on my $400 ai smoke from shanking it on the ferrule. I saw a pro literally two weeks ago. Am I a jackass? I just don’t understand why I keep playing at this point.

The back was just as insane. Never seen anything like it. My partner and I shot 76/86 and wound up 1 stroke better than these chaps. Hats off

I ordered a driving iron (1H) because my driver has been pretty unpredictable lately. For my last three rounds, I’ve been teeing off with my 3-iron instead, and it’s worked surprisingly well. I’m consistently finding the fairway at around 195–205 yards.

That got me thinking that I might be better off using a driving iron off the tee rather than a driver, especially when accuracy matters more than distance.

Am I the only one doing this, or is it fairly common to use a driving iron off the tee instead of a driver?

Not really worth anything but I thought it was a cool find. Stoked to hit it at the range and see how it feels

I'm in my 40s, a high-teen handicap, and usually play as a solo locally. I often get paired up and 95% of the time people are super chill—I’ve even made great regular golf buddies this way.
I want to start hitting bucket list courses, but coordination with friends is tough and many don't want to drop $300+ on a round. I’m completely fine traveling and playing solo, but I’m curious: if you’re in a 3-some on a dream golf trip, how do you feel when a random solo gets paired with you? Will people be annoyed that a stranger is joining their big round, or am I overthinking it?

What’s your experience with this more from a solo on a bucket list course not just a solo at a regular course.

Checking out the local Value Village and a gentleman was walking around with a very familiar looking driver. He put it back in the golf section, walked off and I knew I had to snag it. Can’t wait to hear that famous aluminum bat sound at the tee box!

I tried a new trigger for my swing—hovering the clubhead slightly and giving it a gentle tap on the ground. My daughter wants to hit a fade, but she's really struggling with it 😭 I won't know what kind of ball flight she's actually getting until we hit the range tomorrow, so I'll post an update once we figure it out.

Would you grunt for an extra 4% ball speed? Would it work for golf?
