28M, member of Clubs of Kingwood. Honestly, title says it all. I consistently shoot in the 90s and not opposed to trading CC rounds. Hope to meet some of yall!
Ordered a custom Ping HooferLite golf bag from golfballs.com. It is the Anthem model, which I was hoping to get before the Fourth of July. It is no longer in stock.
For context, I have a really long Eastern European last name which they somehow got correct, but they couldn’t spell a basic white boy first name.
Getting refunded for it, but it still infuriates me.
For context, my wife and I got married in May 2024 and we both wanted kids. But the logistics/finances of having them was always tricky, so whenever she tried to really get in touch with how to make it work, I would stonewall, get nervous, and just not make her feel heard. I think I was insecure that I would have to stop working and become a stay-at-home dad since she was so far ahead of me in our careers.
In January 2025, she really pushed for us to figure it out. I had healthy sperm tests and her OB-GYN told her that she was in her prime for trying, it was now or else our chances would fade. Again, stonewalled. She eventually got angry to the point where she gave up. Two months later in March 2025, I got really thinking and developed baby fever. I could stay at home, finish my degree, and the kid would be ready for pre-K only about a year after I would finish school. However, the roles were reversed this time. She told me things like daycare and other parenting costs were so exorbitant that it did not make sense to even try. She saw that I got sad and then she got sad too. One month later in April 2025, she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.
We met with the cancer center’s family planning doctors and told us that there was no chance of making anything work. Surrogacy or freezing eggs would be options, but way above our pay grade. Also, we live in Texas, so if she would’ve done chemotherapy while pregnant…I don’t want to even think about what it would come to. The door was officially closed.
It has been almost two months now since her passing and now seeing kids is such a trigger. Seeing two parents with a child in the grocery store makes me want to storm out. I was watching Toy Story 3 and when the toy baby said “mama” I wanted to take my chair and smash my TV. She was a mama to our dog, and I wonder if he ever thinks of that word when he thinks about her. I still want a human kid, but only if I had her as the mama.
It has been just over 6 weeks since I lost her. Things are getting harder emotionally these last few weeks. I was folding laundry earlier today and when I folded up one of her old t shirts, I felt like I went back in time to 3 months ago when I vividly remembered her wearing that shirt while cuddling on the couch with our dog.
Sometimes all it takes is some random object to make this happen to me. I miss her so much.
Got a Father’s Day round planned for the weekend, so I did a quick 4 holes at my club, and let me tell you…it was HELL.
The fairways were STEAMING and the ground was mushy AS F***
Idk what WE did to deserve having the golf gods destroy Houston this week, but I need it to stop raining for the rest of the week!
I found this Caddytek Caddylyte push cart on Amazon for $100, but truthfully I don’t know if that is too cheap or if they’re not the best quality. Nothing against them, I just know NOTHING about push carts and don’t want to buy one that feels super cheap.
I’ve mainly been gaming Vice Pro/Pro Plus for the last few years, but even they are guilty of raising their prices. Went to Golf Galaxy, had a $100 trade in credit, and these caught my eye. Can’t wait to test if these are truly the best value in golf.
It’s been over a month since I said goodbye to her. I just moved into my apartment a week ago and my direction has flown like a car driving off a bridge.
Zero motivation to do my actual job, my widow’s fire is getting out of control, I barely have any care to cook or clean. I’ve even been spending recklessly. (Don’t worry, I’m still ok)
The worst part is that I downloaded Tinder, but deleted it almost as soon as it got installed.
If I did all this while she was alive, she would probably divorce me and file a restraining order, now I feel like I’m dishonoring her. Even my therapist says I’m avoiding grief.
I miss her so much. For all the times I thought she was nagging, she was only helping. I’d rather get caught by her and take my ass chewing than continue on like this.
I don’t know what to look for in help, but I know what I’m doing is wrong.
Honestly, that’s kind of it. I made a post about a month ago asking people their thoughts on clubs in the Houston area, but I just pulled the trigger and I’m super excited to get out.
Any members or former patrons that can tell me what to expect or give any tips?
My (28M) wife (38F) passed away a month ago and today I just moved into my apartment, first time ever living on my own. I went from living with my parents at 24 to living with her the last 4 years.
Saw this topic go viral (and even violent at times) on social media, so wanted to see what people here had to say and not just the country club elitist burners.
Mine personally
For context, I’m buying some home decor and trying to decide if I want my Brewers artwork to mention the ballpark as American Family Field or Miller Park.
I live in Texas now, but it was of course always Miller Park when I was a kid living in Wisconsin and I just can’t get past the name quite yet, even if it’s been quite a few seasons with the new name.
Alright, hit me with it. If you have switched to a zero torque putter in recent years, what strides did it actually make to your game? Also, what specific model do you game?
If you asked me a year ago, I would say zero shot I would ever put one in the bag. But after rolling a few with the DF3 at a Golf Galaxy….let’s just say that I get it now.
So I’m a f@t f*ck that loves golf but needs to get their fitness level up. Despite the boiling Texas heat, I want to start walking on the golf course this summer so I can be healthier and be more adaptable to hit the ‘walking-only’ golf courses during my trip later this year.
That said, looking for a lightweight bag (under 6 pounds for sure, preferably under 5) and open to all suggestions that are great for carrying, for a push cart, and for a regular cart as well.
Maybe this is me being weird, but my preference is a bag not from a big club manufacturer, mainly because I have a really mixed bag of clubs and don’t want to pledge allegiance to one of them. But if it’s a great bag, maybe I’ll consider.
These are two ideas so far:
A. Hudson Sutler Looper
B. Sunday Golf Ryder
Milwaukee baseball fan here, I will be attending all three Brewers-Astros games with my buddies this weekend at Daikin Park.
Despite living in Houston for over 20 years, I don’t really go to Daikin/MMP unless I get a free ticket or it’s another type of event.
What’s the best way to pregame before first pitch? What would be the best move for pregame drinks/lunch (or dinner for Friday) that is within walking distance of the ballpark? Open to all suggestions.
Thank you!
I’ve done my research and wedge fitting, and I’ve decided that the Mizuno T-3 wedges are the ones for me. Now two things:
A. Who has played these on the course and can speak to how they perform out in real life?
B. Which finish should I go for? If it matters, I’m still deciding between the blacked out JPX 925 Forged irons or the regular silver M-15s.
Appreciate it!
Maybe it’s because I’m just trash and I’m playing my first round in over 2 months, but I am in the middle of a twilight round at Highland Pines, but I’m struggling to warrant paying $95 for a round here, daylight or twilight.
Having a tough time with parental support. The day after my wife died, I visited my parents for dinner for the hopes that I would get some sort of support. For context, my wife and parents never had the best relationship but it’s not without reason. They tried to schedule our wedding rehearsal dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse (even though she was vegetarian), they tried to force wedding invitations to people not on our list, and my mom threatened to not show up because it was a 21+ wedding.
After the dinner, my dad (part of the Q conspiracy) went on a 6th tirade about how ivermectin is the cure to cancer and said (but not actually saying it) that she would still be alive if she would’ve taken it in the first place. He previously promised to never bring it up again after the 3rd time. Followed it up by saying that he was “glad” that Hannah saw how 401Ks were scams because of tax penalties in withdrawals. For context, she wanted to cash out her 401Ks but chose not to because she knew I would get hit with the tax penalties next year.
I thought I could get past this, but when I invited my mother out to a Mothers Day brunch the next day, she said that brunches were too early and they would call back with a backup plan. She didn’t even let me revise. All she said was “you can join us for dinner, if you want”. They never called with the backup plan.
I’m supposed to meet them for a nice dinner and a baseball game at the end of the month, but I don’t want to anymore and I just can’t deal with them right now. They offered to help with my move, but I don’t want them around for that either.
Upgraded from my 2019 Taylormade M2 irons to these. Love the feel, but for some reason it doesn’t have the pop that I like in an iron.
These are labeled as players precision irons, but I’m tinkering with the idea to make them 1-2° stronger so I don’t spend a fortune on a new set of actual players distance irons. For reference, the 7 iron is 32°, but thinking of adjusting it to 30°.
What do we think?
Met the most amazing girl and how she said yes to me, I will never understand. Yes to the first date, yes to marrying me, yes to getting a house….all gone. 5 years of being together.
I held her hand when she took her last breath, only ten days short from our second wedding anniversary.
Now I’m moving out of her parents’ house after spending the last year with them as they supported us during her treatments. Moving into a single bedroom space where it’s only me and our dog, all alone.
I have no one to truly support me. My own parents have been extremely unsupportive, none of my friends can relate to this pain, and when I meet other widowers, it’s about how insane it is that I’ve been dealt this hand before I even touched my 30s.
I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for but I just wish she was here to help me and give me one last back scratch or cuddle.
