Resolved Question: what factors must be considered before reshafting a club?

do you need to worry about tip size? 335 or 350? What about the paralell or taper tip?
I am interested in buying a shaft on ebay but I have no idea what to be looking for. Can I just buy one and let my local golf retail shop do the rest, or will I need to find my club’s tip size and buy a shaft like that.

Voting Question: What gift should I give to my 15 year old guy friend?

We talk or text everyday and we’re pretty close to each other. He’s turning 15 in a few weeks. He plays piano, video games (but he personally told me that theyre waste of time), own a restaurant (if that matters) , golf and does airsoft. He’s got japanese blood too aswell.
I know he likes me cus thats what he always tells me. He is also the romantic-type of guy but yh he’s friendzoned for we are young. He always tells me that I’m beautful and perfect and everything and stuff like that.

As for the budget, the most i’m willing to spend is $150
pls help me, a fw weeks ago he gave me this perfume and it seems really expensive so I dont want to look like a fool by giving him something cheap.

So , what should i give him???
and any tips?

Thanks! <3
btw, he's 14 turning 15

Resolved Question: What should I do to improve at Golf?

I am a junior at my club age 14 I play scratch on 9 holes and around 16 round 18 (yes not that amazing =/) anyways at my club there are some really good juniors who are like 12 and play off 8 round 18 or less and they get a lot of attention with the coaches etc.. yet if I apply for coaching I usually get turned down =/ (the kids who are good have parents who run the club)

anyway too the point I wondered how I could get better at golf so I could be as good as the rest since its hard to find a coach who actually teaches you stuff and treats you like an adult rather than teaching you as if you are 5 (this is harsh I know but seriously this is how coaches usually treat me =/) but if you know any drills or tips so that I can improve that would be amazing =D my golf clubs are custom fitted (bought them myself after saving up for them =D) and now that I have them I really want to put the effort in and eventually maybe when im 20 become a professional and join the PGA tour (yeah there is not much hope but im gonna really try) I have already been playing for about 4 years (yeah its sad my handicap is 16 round 18 and iv been playing that long =( but im sure if I practice I can bring it down =D)

so thanks for you time guys =D

PS details and stuff incase you need them
average drive distance lowest to highest 150 – just over 250
hook/slice – hook more than slice but usually straightish

Resolved Question: local golf caddy…is it a good summer job? does it have a good pay?

I’d like to be a golf caddy over the summer. I was wondering if it is a good job as in is it to demanding or is it laid back? I’d also want to know how much a local club would pay. Is it a salary? Or does most of the work come from tips? What can i do to earn a good tip, and how can I move up to getting the good tippers quickly? Also I am 14 I don’t know very much about the rules of golf, and how can I learn how to give advice about the hole?

Resolved Question: Does anyone have advice for a beginner golfer?

Hi, I started playing golf around 3 months ago. I bought a set of second hand blades to find out whether I would stick at it. I’ve played as much as I can over the last 3 months, and although I see an improvement, I’m still struggling. I’m hitting around 120. I’m struggling with my long irons. I’ve had a couple of lessons which are helping but I wondered if anyone can offer advice on the best way forward.I’m ok with my 6 down to 9 and wedges, although I’m not that consistent. I’ve parred every hole on my local course but on different days. Sometimes I hit a 5 on a par 4, other days I hit a 9 or 10! Also, when I play with other people I seem to choke a bit more when I play on my own. Is this normal? I’m really looking for some moral support from the golfers out there. Is my progress (or lack there of) normal someone who has been playing as long as I have? Does anyone have any tips on how to improve? I’d love to get my score down to 100. I feel if I could manage this I could confidently play with other people and not worry too much about being embarrassed with my game. Thanks in advance for your help.

Resolved Question: Lost my swing, need some help?

I’ve been playing golf for almost 10 years now and currently average in the low 80′s. Recently I have started to shank the ball and feel like I have completely lost my swing. The only thing that I could think of that could have caused this was a couple recent trips to the batting cages…which may have caused my weight shift to be thrown off. Any suggestions or tips would be great. Thanks

Voting Question: Another can I make it on the PGA Tour question?

I want to see what people think.. So I have played golf for four years and have went from shooting 86 average to a 0.47 handicap. After one year of playing I walked on to a D3 college golf team and played the 5 man on the varsity squad shooting between 78 and 82(7000 yard courses). Now my tournament rounds are 73-76 with breaking par from the tips at long courses 1 of every 6 tries roughly. I am 24 now and want to see what people say… I know there is a lot of work to do obviously but shooting practice rounds of 71 to 76 on course ratings of 74+ is what brings my rating down. I make a ton of pars and limit mistakes.. Just need to make birds to get low… I might have two per round which is holding me back but hit between 12 and 14 GIR… 33 putts and 9 fw.. So if I can get to this point in 4 years where could I be in 4 more? I practice more than anyone I’ve ever met or have ever seen on a daily basis on a practice green or range. Let me know

Resolved Question: Does he like me???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

So me and this guy have been talking for about 4 months now, daily.
Were both currently in grade twelve and only started taking this year, as I was in his class for the first time in my life. Were going to prom together. I like him, I just don’t know if he likes me back.
- We’ve hung out about 3 times on our own. Twice, having his best friend their, the last one, it was just me and him. Each time, there was no contact. We are flirty with each other (like when we were playing lazer tag, we’d just hit each other, or with mini golf, we’d both move each others balls away to make the other lose. but nothing. I initiated this, hoping we’d get some wear. He usually initiates the hang outs though. He did pay more attention to me than his friend.
-He talks to me ALL THE TIME. He inititates 80-90% of the conversations. online. (Were not in the same class anymore so i never see him at school)
-If I look directly at him, he looks away.
- Last night, we were at a dance. Obviously both drunk. We were together the WHOLE night. Finnaly wheeled too. (im uncertain as to who initiated this) I was very friendly, and we held hands for a bit too (i started that) he didnt let go. Walked me out. It looked like we were dating. We were together the whole night, twe were both wearing baseball hats, and we switched. In fact, he liked mine so much, today he went out to go get a hat exactly like it, different color. Same brand, but specificly the same image on it. I also had a glowstick last night, i gave it to him when i left, he kept it. We hung out today, and nothing. not even a high five -_-
- I joked about saying that i was dating this guy. all he said was lol (obviously a joke gone wrong)
- Liek i said were going to prom together. He asked me through the phone instead of face to face. everytime he wanted to do it face to face, something ”came up” or i was always ”wth my friends”. One of his friends told me that he did like me and was scarred that if he asked me to prom face to face his emotions would show, and that he wanted more than friends. (this was in march)

Anyways, i’m just confused because I don’t know if he likes me. There have been signs that he does, and some that he doesnt. He’s mentioned his ex once or twice, but i dont ask about it. I think they dated 2 years ago. he’s not one to have many girlfrends.

He also did tell me that he has a huge fear of rejection. He’s not shy, but i think he is shy when it comes to the possibility of him being rejected.

I havent told him that i liked him directly, but I think i have dropped a couple signs. LIke being flirty, facebook statuses, nor have i dtried to pull a move sober…. anyways, im very confused. if anyone could give me tips, or their point of view that would be great! And no, I am not asking him out.
