This is such a weird thing… I can’t figure out how I can’t figure it out.

For some reason my shots are never aligned. When I line myself up, it looks like my feet and club are facing the flag, or wherever I’m trying to go. When someone gets behind me though, or I ask them to double check me, they’ll say you’re aligned way right, or way left. Basically not where I think I am. I just can’t see it and I don’t know why. It’s driving, fairway shots, putting, chip shots.. all of it. Seems silly to be struggling with this. Anyone have any tips or tricks?

My daughter is 12 and is getting into golf. I am looking to buy a set for her. She will probably be average height (5'2 now) and is on the athletic side overall. We are looking at the Calloway Strata (C7 swing weights), Tour Edge, and Cobra Fly-XL (Swing weight for irons C4). If you all have thoughts or tips I would appreciate it!

I’m just getting into golf and I’d like to start building community with some female friends. Everyone I know who golfs is male and I’d like to have some girl friends. I’ve looked into Women on Course but idk. I’m 40 so looking for my age group, if possible.

It’s only the first week of July and we have been under an extreme heat warning all week, with no relief on sight. I know I can’t get better without playing, but the temperature is not likely to improve until Oct. can you be a golfer and only play fall and spring?

The heat gives me migraines and I feel trashed after playing when it’s 85 and 80 percent humidity.

Pretty new to golf so I’m trying to get my gear sorted early. I’m the type that likes having everything ready before I fully get into a new hobby lol, but ngl women’s golf gear feels kinda… underwhelming? a lot of it still feels like it’s built off men’s stuff. fit, colors, overall design just don’t really hit. And not just clothes either, some gear feels bulky, heavy, or just awkward if you’ve got smaller hands. rn I’m looking at a Titleist bag + Mileseey ionme2 rangefinder. also seen ppl talk about G/Fore shoes and Malbon, but still feels like most options are either super basic or just men’s gear with small tweaks. Am I being too picky here or is this kinda normal? what do you guys actually use/wear? mainly looking for women’s apparel + accessories that are light, easy to carry, and actually feel like they’re made for women..

I'm going for iron fitting on Friday, currently playing men's Costco Callaways. I am taller, in the 5'8-5'9 realm.

I had a driver fitting last year that seemed.... pretty generic. He just handed me different drivers, no mention of different shafts, lofts, etc. I am going to the same place for irons because my husband bought a gift card.

Any tips from fellow ladies on what I should be asking about or testing? Any guidance is much appreciated.

I just recently got back into playing golf, bought a petite Wilson women’s set to get started with the intent of upgrading later on after playing and taking some lessons. One thing I was thinking of upgrading sooner rather than later was the putter. I went to a store to test out a Scotty Cameron which I loved and seemed to putt decently with. Although now I’m wondering if the store putting greens are rigged….. 😂 pre owned it was $275. Also have heard good things about the LAB putters but they didn’t have any to try out. Any insight? Does it even make a difference?

It's an absolute joke. Even if Korda is no where near in contention the commentators and air time korda is unbelievable. I get it, she's number 1. But were not all obsessed with her, if fact I'm sick of seeing her.

We'd love to see other players who are in the mix get some airtime.

Is this an American thing or what? (Obsessed with their own) Because id guarantee if there was a world #1 who wasn't American they wouldn't get the airtime Korda does.

Watching the KPMG, I skipped past the shots of Korda in the last 6 or so holes and I was skipping shots pretty much every couple of minutes. It's unreal.

It's not the bloody Nelly show!

Edit. Thank you for the award xxxx

Sorry for offending US fans. Since 80% of readers on this post are in the US. I know you disagree, but it's an opinion held from someone who doesn't reside j the US.

I got a new bag with fewer dividers than my old one. When I put 3-4 clubs in one large section, I have trouble getting them out easily. The grips catch on the club heads and stick- I’m afraid I’m going to create more wear and tear on the grips. Is there a product out there that prevents this? I’ve tried searching for a golf bag divider but haven’t come up with anything. How do you stave off bag chaos?

This past weekend was our member/member tournament. I played fairly well on day 1 - not my best, but I felt fine about the outcome. My group was fast, maintained pace, and moved through the round on pace.

On day 2, two of the ladies in my group were extremely slow players. By hole 4 we were 2 complete holes behind the group in front of us. Of course, we were informally put on the clock and the Marshall began following us. However, two of us were fast players and felt a little frustrated at the pace of the other 2. We tried to encourage faster pace, without being rude. By hole 7, we were three holes behind and were warned again. Next time we would have to skip a hole - effectively eliminating our group.

At that point, I began rushing everything… and I mean everything. The two slower players kept playing slowly… getting distance on everything, 4-5 practice swings, slow to tee off, etc. Basically, my game went to hell in a hand basket. The other “faster” player also began rushing and her game suffered as well. I ended up shooting higher than I’ve shot in many months.

So- I need advice. What do you do in these situations? How do you handle not only slow players in tournament play, but how do you handle stressful/pressure situations on the course? I should have been able to maintain focus and maintain my game, but I couldn’t do it.

Sorry this is so long, but I truly need advice on how to gain a better tournament mindset so my game is more consistent when the pressure is on. Thank you in advance!

How do you combat the dreaded golfer’s tan? Any awesome golf shirts with good tan lines? Or dresses? Desperately need suggestions!

Played a round today and the pace of play was yawning-inducing. I wish they would enforce tee boxes selection according to handicap because the dudes in front of us insisted on playing off the blues when their drives were barely passing the white tees.

It can’t be fun to struggle like that, surely?

I wear mostly white polos. I play 9 three times a week and go to the range 1-2 times a week. Some are traditional style, some are the ikbul long sleeve ones with the mesh underarms. I spent so much money on these but they look dinghy. esp the mesh underarms have a brown tinge. What can I do to help make them bright white again? I don’t want to switch to colored shirts.

I’ve been washing them with Tide Clean & Gentle powder, and recently started using a bit of the 365 sport cleaner, which helps a bit but not enough. I have extremely sensitive skin and don’t use heavily scented products. Is there hope?

ETA The entire underarm mesh has a brown tinge right down to the wrists. I air dry the shirts, I don’t use a dryer. I extra rinse all my clothes, sometimes with the downy citric acid stuff, but I haven’t noticed a difference either way.

Hi folks! I'm crowdsourcing suggestions for a golf vacation in New England focused on beginner lessons. There are plenty of resorts that have golf courses, but my spouse and I are beginners and still need lessons and support on a course. Next year is a milestone bday and I thought this could be a fun trip. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help. (We could also consider NY/NJ--we're driving from Boston)

Many of the female pros are wearing shorts and I think they look great when they fit well. The women appear to be wearing them fairly short (about a 5” inseam). But I have skinny legs. I’ve been working to beef up my thighs, but it’s a very slow process. Anyone have recommendations brands/models with a narrower cut through the h

Hi All!

I’ll be in Houston during Nov and wondering if there’s public courses that anyone recommends I need to check out. I will also be bringing my brother who just began golfing a few months ago so no PGA/Pro level courses since we still want to have fun, and not ruin the pace of play for everyone.

I'm pretty new to golf, so I'm trying to get my gear sorted early. I'm the type who likes to have everything ready before getting fully into a new hobby lol. That said, I feel like women's golf gear is kinda disappointing? A lot of it still feels designed around men's standards. The fit, colors, and overall style just aren't that great. It's not only clothing either. Some gear feels too big, too heavy, or just awkward if you have smaller hands.

And now I'm looking at a Titleist golf bag, a Mileseey ionme2 rangefinder. I've also seen people recommend G/Fore shoes and Malbon Golf gear. But it feels like most options are either super basic or just men's products with a few small changes. am I being too picky? What brands do you usually wear or use? Mainly looking for women's golf apparel and accessories that are lightweight, easy to carry, and actually designed with women in mind.

Hi all, I’m new to golf. Played a handful of times before this year with beverages involved lol. This year I got a membership. No real issues with my driver, hitting it over 200 (with the odd bad shot). My irons and my 3 wood all go 100 Yards.

Not sure what’s going on or if this is normal for beginners! I just laugh when someone says we are 100 yards out and I have 5 club options .
