We've just taken our two (18 and 14) to New York for the first time at christmas. They loved it. Loads we could recommend if you want any suggestions. Natural History Museum and The Edge are must do's IMHO.
I bought today.....

Oh for the days of black Dryjoys for winter, white Softjoys for summer!
Those were the rules!

Finally actually got out onto the course, greens were soft so obviously that helps. But yeah it checks up like crazy, chipping from the fringe or apron, about half as much run out, little pitches, stop almost dead, one bounce stop

Just tried it out for the first time and I think it must be about 25 stimp! That's not going to help me get the ball to the hole is it?? Useless!

At a stimp of 25 you’d put the ball 10ft past by farting on it.

Exactly - so if I practice on here I'll be leaving everything 10 feet short on the weekend won't I.

Long time dead matey. Go for itOK, so fitting today - 2.5 hours on driver, fairways and hybrids.
Note: He knew I am a 'sexy shaft man', so I walked into a spend fest
Started with longest iron to get a baseline, which is a 5 iron for me at 160/5 carry.
Then onto Driver and worked back. I knew exactly the head I wanted and told the fitter (superb!), but based on my current driver stats, expected it not to be suitable. Trusty Ping start and went really well - I just hate Ping for being so good. Tried Cobra, Wilson, Callaway, but the Ping was winning in all aspects. THEN, he started really zoning in on shafts and by far, the performance with the Accra (green) made a massive difference - enough of a difference to try the TaylorMade Qi4D core. WOW! That was that - 225 carry average, with longest few over 230 and on an uphill range, total distance 250. From 220 total with my GT2 - SOLD.
Now, the fairways we started with the same TM Qi4D, which he already mentioned he expected to be perfect for me and a big personal fan of the fairways. I can't hit my Titleist 3 wood off the deck. He handed me a 3W HL, essentially a 4 wood and bang, 205 carry, with great flight and could stop, but likely too much run for stopping on a long par 3 - to be continued... Great off the deck and tee. SOLD
I LOVE my Titlest 5 wood, but we jumped from a 3 into a TM 7 wood, essentially set up as a 6 wood and a 9 wood set up as an 8 wood. Ended up with 4, 6, 8. Carry distances 205, 190, 175, which blends into my 5 iron 160/5.
But the shaft for my fairwayswhich are outstanding - from a never heard of (by me) brand, AutoFlex. They were eyewateringly expensive, but just performed amazingly and fit perfectly into the 'sexy shaft' request in the rainbow colourway.
My irons and wedges have a red grip and expected to match, but they are out of stock everywhere, so went for green and gold on the driver (green shaft) and remaining woods (green works with rainbow). Shafts will be pured. 3-4 week delivery.
You only live once.
Edit: My new wedges landed today and will try them out on Saturday.

If you’re using a putting Matt to help judge pace you’re definitely using it wrongExactly - so if I practice on here I'll be leaving everything 10 feet short on the weekend won't I.
Its only use is for practicing technique anything to do with pace and they’re all crap. Could still be good investment to drill the stroke and then 10mins on putting green pre round for getting th pace for the day and you’re golden

Another example of what happens when wealth inequality spirals out of control, the rich are running out of things to spend money on... Just like that new golf ball that requires membership of an elite group of wealthy @@#holes, ironically called 'The Underground'

Would be as well as putting on your laminate flooring.
Is it still quick if you have the mat on top of carpet? I remember years ago I had a cheap mat and on the flooring it was lightning quick but on top of a rug it really slowed down.

13 knockoff golf pride align midsize grips from AliExpress for £30.64 delivered. Roughly the same price as 2.5 genuine ones, so if they are crap then I guess 2 of my wedges aren’t getting new grips.

That makes sense but we only have carpets upstairs and not even sure there's enough space anywhere to lay it down.

Probably around £20M for Lando, maybe £10M for Piastri?
