I play a lot of golf (2-4 rounds per week). I have battled tendinitis in both elbows (lateral epichondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow- ironically not golfers elbow!). I think it’s from gripping the club too tightly, or holding a lot of tension in my arms. Has anyone else battled this? Any advice? I could probably back off on so much golf but I love it too much!
I'm a golfer building a beginner starter kit and want to make sure I'm including the right things — not just the obvious stuff.
When you played your first round, what did you wish someone had told you to bring? What did you show up without that you needed? What one piece of gear made the biggest difference early on?
Any feedback genuinely appreciated — trying to build something that actually helps new golfers rather than just looks good in a box.
Anyone else getting migraines before bed after a game of golf? I’m otherwise pretty healthy and I think I’ve got pretty good sun protection, hydration, snacks, etc. I take magnesium now and that hasn’t helped so I’m wondering if anyone else has had the same problem / found the solution?
I’m a long-time golfer, took a break during pregnancy, gave birth and I’m just getting back into playing again. I sweat a lot more than I used to and I’m looking for golf hats that don’t sweat through after a full round. Something that stays light, doesn’t get soaked halfway through and doesn’t drip when I look down to line up a shot. I’ve already started updating my gear with Call͏away Opti-Vent and Opti-Dri shirts and now I’m looking for a cap that can keep up with the same kind of heat and movement. Any recomme͏ndations?

When I hit my 1 year mark I am going to get myself a new club or 2. Currently have the Callaway Maverick set for my driver, pw, aw(never used this, no idea when to or what the angle even is). 6-9i 3w,3h and 4h. I have the Callaway edge for my 5h and sw, just what was available when I was buying..
I am planning on getting some lessons as well, that is the best golf investment, new clubs won't improve my game, etc, but who doesn't like a tangible reward? Also, maybe after a year of learning on this driver it could be retired out of pity. Or maybe I should get the matching mavericks and replace the edges, because I hate that they all don't match. Or should I get a 4 iron? Or a 4w? What do you ladies think? Or does my whole set suck?? Oh I also have a 60⁰ Wilson my hubby got me for Christmas, I do not want to change this one out.
My husband keeps telling me I hit very long for a woman, but I think he just wants to cheer me up.
My usual distances for driver is 200-250 yards, 3w - 200 yards. Obviously all clubs are different, but to give some estimations. I use ping hybrids, 4h is around 160-170y. My mizuno irons for 7i would be 130, 8i - 120.
I was playing today and on par4 I would get to the green in 2 shots. I started playing golf a bit more than a year ago. My husband tells I should start taking it more seriously as I have good capabilities.
Are these distances usual or women with similar distances are considered long hitters?

And there is a master tab or drink tickets, bring cash. Many golf courses have it where those master tabs or drink tickets, the cart girl sees no gratuity or a very small part shared with the whole food and Bev department. While she’s the one sitting in the sun. Driving around as fast as she can. Making sure to keep what you’re drinking stocked and available for you. Especially when you’re grabbing $30 worth of product a simple dollar tip is much appreciated as opposed to just walking away and driving off in your cart.
There’s three rules in life
Show up on time
Don’t be an asshole
And
Tip the cart girl
Hey ladies, I posted a few months ago asking about a push setup that wouldnt tip every time I added a water bottle and snacks. So I wanted to share a quick update.
I ended up going with a Sun Mountain pushcart after reading through your suggestions and comparing a few options. I nearly went with a cheaper alternative I found while browsing online. But the consistent feedback about stability pushed me toward something more reliable.
So the difference has been noticeable. The wider base and lower center of gravity make it feel much more stable, even on uneven turf or slight hills where my old one used to wobble. I also followed the tip about keeping heavier items lower in the bag, and that helped more than I expected.
After a few rounds, I feel more relaxed walking the course and not constantly adjusting my setup. It has made the experience much more enjoyable. That said, I’m still curious about the next step. For those who started with a push cart and later upgraded...did moving to a full golf buggy make a big difference, or is a stable push setup enough for most casual rounds?
I'm playing at a club in a couple weeks and they have some very outdated rules in terms of their treatment to women.
For example, their captains drive in is literally just for the captain. The men's captain does his drive in then all the past captains have lunch and then they all go home.
This golf club is over 100 years old and is the same age as mine yet our captains drive in is for all our captains (mens, ladies, junior boys / girls) with a competition afterwards open for everyone and a buffet. They don't seem to want to change anything either, the previous captain was wanting to at least get their ladies captain to have a place at their drive in but they were REJECTED by the members committee. Like it's 2026 and this shit is still happening????
Im getting my first golf bag!
I want something cute I can really accessorize with pastels and a lot of pockets. I would love recommendations!
This G/Fore bag is super cute and is my favorite color. I don't love the price, but I'm willing to work with it if it's as good as it seems. I just love the look, but I really need to justify the price on more than a color.
I was also looking at this Sunday Golf bag. Great price, and I can make it work color-wise. I wanted pinks and dont mind doing a pink-and-yellow idea.I like that they both have lots of pockets and seem to have just about all the basics, if not more.
Im super torn, all advice is wanted!
I’m still considered a beginner golfer. I started 3 years ago and fell in love with the game fast. Nine holes I would average 60-63 in the first year with a beginner set: Top Flite. Since then I have upgraded my driver, 5-hybrid, bag, and won a TaylorMade putter (too long but can have cut down). My 2025 goal was to get under 50 golfing nine and never achieved it. Closest was a 50. I said when I get under 50, I’ll reward myself with maybe a new club, shoes, outfit, another bag. Went out for the first time this year and shot a 47! So now I feel like I need to honor myself. I do need new irons but those are too spendy lol. Any suggestions on what I should give myself? Upgrade my 3 wood? New pair of shoes? Another new bag (for options)?
Hello! I’m now just starting to golf and I’m self taught but later down the road I’m definitely considering getting lessons. I wanted to get my own clubs as I’m using my partners because we’re basically the same height.
I don’t really know where to start looking and what clubs are best for me. For those who are similar height to me, what clubs did you find were lightweight and comfortable? Also club sets that aren’t over $1000..
I am having a terrible time trying to find golf shorts this year so I am looking for recommendations. I have two pairs on Under Armour shorts I bought last year that I love. I recently ordered what I thought were the same shorts, but the crotch/zipper was longer and poked out weird and the pockets flared at the hips. I tried a pair from Amazon and they were terrible (see through, pocket flare at hips, material was rough). I used to wear exclusively Nike shorts and loved them, but they only come in black at the moment. I've looked at Macade shorts but I am not sure on the sizing and I don't love the price. Plus they're selling out of white in most sizes. If you have a review of Macade that makes it worth the price, I'd love to hear it.
What I'm specifically looking for is:
- a pair of shorts with belt loops, as I like to tuck my tops and wear a belt
- 4-5" inseam
- looking for a pair of navy and a pair of white
- I'm 5'4", 130lbs, with longer legs; my current Under Armour shorts are a size 6
I love playing golf; however, the pain and stiffness in my hands do not. Any advice from others? Did you get wider grips? Any supplements, tips and tricks?
Are these generally okay at a golf course? I’m a new golfer. It’s sleeveless with a blade collar.
My retired husband is a good golfer and I recently found time to take lessons so we can play together. We have been happily married for 30+ years.
Yesterday, I was out practicing chipping and he kept telling me what I was doing wrong. I tried his method and was constantly topping the ball. I went back to my instructor’s method and was able to connect well about 75% of the time.
Chipping is hard for me, but I know what I’m doing wrong. My husband is not usually impatient, but I could tell he was annoyed. He still was giving me contradictory instruction.
When we play the 9-hole course near home, he doesn’t give me any golf swing instructions, but at the practice areas he likes to watch and instruct. This is not making golf fun. I think I should practice on my own. We like going out together though, and usually hang at the clubhouse patio afterwards.
Suggestions? Relevant experiences?
These just came in the mail and I love them, but I’m a little worried about the stiffness. Especially over the top left big toe. They are plenty long enough, but the down slope of the toe box feels restrictive. They feel very cushy otherwise and I’m sure hoping they will break in well. Anyone have any experience with these and that sloped feeling in the toe? BTW I’m a size 11 women’s, which is the largest they have, I tried on the equivalent in men’s, size 10, both of these are euro 43. The men’s seemed to be the right length, but quite a bit too wide. 10.5 men’s was too long and wide.
Currently in a GT2 10 degree but think it may be too much loft based on how I deliver the club (launches higher than ideal).
I tend to hit differently on the course than range (so fittings have been a challenge), but had been told 9-10 degrees was probably right last summer. Good shots can be up to about 218, solid ones go just over 205, but I’ll hit some that launch too high and will lose a bunch of distance (ballooning and going about 150 - but the strikes are solid). My coach believes 225 is totally doable (I’m 50 for context). I can hit a 3 wood off the deck to about 190.
What’s your current configuration? And do you have it at stock loft or have you tuned it up or down with a hosel setting? Been tinkering with shaft, swing weight and tee height, but really haven’t messed with loft at all and curious.
Always working on mechanics, of course, but love the club fitting / technical aspects…
This question is for the ladies, but if you’re a guy and want to chime in - just say you’re a guy when you respond!
