"Beth page, front 9, set the tee and wind etc to your liking.
Let us see how close to 60 you can get, and do not bring your fancy clubs, ball or putter with you"
You saying he cant shoot sub 60 on 9 holes?
X you are flat out wrong on this arguement. If you were correct in that its the equipment making people better you would not have Legends shooting low 60's and others with same equipment shooting high 60's to low 70's, would you? We would all be legends and we all would be shooting low 60's.
I bought equipment day 2 on the site for 2 reasons:
1) I wanted to hit shots more like I can in real life. The flat trajectories of the starter clubs are not realistic to what many of us do in real life.
2) I love the game and want to see it around for a long time and the small investment of less then what a real round of golf costs is no big deal. Yes you can play free, but in general you cannot compete with others playing with better equipment, and boo hoo for you if you are using beginner clubs in an advanced tier.
If you want to ask someone to put aside their better equipment and play you, I have no problem doing so, but give me the same amount of time that you are using those clubs to get used to them again and learn the distances and shot types all over.
Lastly, why do you play beginner clubs and not the better clubs? No money? Are you a beginner club purist, so if I gifted you top of level clubs you would not use them?
