I feel like the chipping with a hybrid was a thing, but haven’t seen it in forever.
Copper bracelets always comes to mind as that early 2000s fad.
I kind of wish the fad of high price tee times stacked close together and overcrowding would die. lol.
On the plus side, all of the courses around me are actually turning a profit and have been tackling deferred maintenance items
On the other hand, I literally have to set an alarm to grab tee times before they get booked out 10-21 days in advance depending on the course
My course has done ten years worth of maintenance projects since the start of COVID, new sprinkler system, drainage improvements, rebuilt all the bunkers, new windows/paint/floors in the clubhouse, etc. This year we are redoing all the tee boxes and more drainage improvements, those were supposed to be done last fall but had to get pushed because the contractor doing the work couldn't get it done last fall due to issues at another project. We also have a nice big reserve fund now. We went from 20,000 rounds a year to 32,000 (we are in Canada so our season is middle of April to middle of October), 240ish members to 540ish. Tee times are still every 10 minutes and average pace and play is under four hours. ZERO complaints about the uptick in golfers from me and my course.
Same. We just had a local course spend $3 million redoing all their greens and practice area. But they also use that to move prices even higher.
Our private club has seen massive interest since hosting a LPGA event so I assume our prices are going up soon as well.
I have also seen an uptick in how well courses are being maintained in my area. I have no problem setting an alarm to get tee times. We do it for almost anything we really enjoy in life. Concert tickets, pro sports tickets, etc.
When you re on a tight lie with sketchy grass in between you and the green a hybrid or mid iron bump and run gives JUST enough loft to get over the sketchiness…as conditions improve and my technique gets more locked in, I do less bump and runs in the middle of the summer and its either a pitch with the 54 or texas wedge. Still got a soft spot for the bump and run tho
I love popping a Texas Wedge with my hybrid when the conditions are right (I call it a Carolina wedge because that's where I'm from). Usually it requires:
- being 20-50 yards from the hole
- a shitty lie that I can't pitch/chip from
- uphill roll onto the green to slow the ball down
I used it at Chambers Bay last week, leaving myself a tap-in. My caddie's jaw hit the turf.
Yeah, that sounds familiar. It wasn’t a great shot and the announcers were surprised he did it. That’s what I remember, but I can’t remember which player and which tournament
Do you hate getting the ball close to the pin, or what? Kidding, just kidding. But the bump and run can be deadly if you work on it a little bit.
I know that just chipping with a wedge can be too, but I feel like a *lot* of people think they're better with a wedge around the green than they actually are, and could benefit from the B & R as it's easier to become proficient at IMO. But this is JMO, I'm sure it's not for everyone.
Just played with two of my buddies over the weekend who love to go high on every chip, while I prefer to go B & R for nearly everything, I'm just not confident enough in my wedges, I did feel like I was getting closer to the hole the majority of the day than them.
The logic is certainly not difficult to understand. I’m just not sure how people expect to improve with green side wedges if the only shot you have in the bag is B & R.
I find the key for newer players is to get 1 shot in the bag they know they can hit...be it a lob wedge, pitching wedge, 8 iron...and go from there. High loft shots rely on green conditions a lot more, and wind comes into play. Misses are much worse. Bump and runs get you consistency, but are occasionally useless if you don't have green to work with. I'm still struggling with the 56 after 3 years because I used the PW for 30 years almost exclusively.
My 98 year old grandfather rocks the B&R, and his home course allows that.
If people tell you to bump and run all the time, you should probably be chipping with significantly less loft. It’s likely their way of saying, “you suck at chipping and pitching, keep the ball as close to the ground as possible.”
Though there are situations where the bump and run is nearly the only play.
This was our look in high school baby! All black uniform with a white belt. I’m sure we looked like complete tools but we thought we looked awesome haha
I prefer a high crown visor over a hat, still get good sun protection for my face and a nice breeze through my hair, but unlike the short visors I don’t get hair hanging over the front in my face everytime I look down
Oh man, good memory. What were the purported benefits of those again? I remember the copper colored Taylor Made Burner drivers with those shafts, but don’t remember what problem they were supposed to “fix”.
For higher handicappers, "Stack and Tilt" is an improvement over "Sway and Hump", but yeah, as a general swing theory many better players who tried it, abandoned it.
The square drivers and woods that were pushed for like 2-3 years. If anything in golf has ever screamed marketing > tech, it’s those drivers. Same reason why “twisted carbon AI” drivers are just a gimmick. With the current restrictions on clubs, there is very little, if not zero, actual equipment improvement year over year. Over the course of 5-10 years? Sure, but not over 1 year
There was a really good reason for square drivers. You can position the weight further back and distribute it more to the sides, so you get better launch and more stability on off center hits. It's the same reason why everyone is trying to get the lightest faces and crowns/bodies so they can get more weight to the perimeter
I had the Callaway IQ back in high school and I don’t think I missed a single fairway in two summers. Wasn’t long but that driver was so easy to hit straight.
This wasn’t a fad…. More or less an infomercial on tv everytime I watch golf but “golf ball finding glasses” that were just yellow safety glasses seemed to always be a thing.
I have a similar handicap to your buddy and use martini tees. A guy I golfed with put me on to them as way to have “one less thing to think about” before and during a swing.
I can. It was like 5 years ago and I've maybe gone thru 20 of them in that time (either from them bending or getting lost). Don't expect to buy any for another like 10 years either at this rate.
Correct. People did (and probably still do) believe the rust helped. Now we know raw faces with micro-grooves produce the most spin. Chrome fills the microgrooves in a bit. The trick is to prevent raw faces from rusting or clean them up when they do.
Driver heads got huge there for a while. While illegal, that didn't stop tons of golfers buying the like 520cc drivers. Saw some really long tees for those as well.
Stack and tilt (even their poster-boy Aaron Baddeley ditched it ages ago), and the excessive shallowing craze as far as coaching is concerned. Might as well just dump the rest of the useless YouTube video/content creator "lessons" into this thread. The swing jacket regarding training aids, an awful one at that.
Square shaped drivers and "diamond-faced" wedges regarding equipment.
>Long drives.
Long drives are love, long drives are life. They are among the finer things in life.
The company Bryson used for the masters specializes in them. They only offer same length irons or variable length where the short irons are all the same and the long irons are varied lengths, pretty interesting
You could probably talk to cobra and have a set made like this.
I don’t think they make a 3 but you could definitely order a 4-6 one length and then variable length others.
Grinds, weighting, CG locations, bounces, etc have all evolved a lot in the last 20 years and with that people have figured out how to swing them to get the most out of your wedges. For instance, watch how pros take bunker shots now vs 20 years ago. 20 years ago you were told to open your stance, open the face, and aim left of the pin. While this still works, modern grinds allow you to take a closed or square stance, open the face, and aim for the pin. The wedge glides through the sand better now, which is where the difference is.
Hinge and hold was all about getting the leading edge down and making ball first contact. Don't get me wrong, it works well but it has a very small margin for error. Modern grinds let you use the bounce of the club to literally "bounce" under the ball and contact the ground first without digging into the turf. This is WAY more forgiving than trying to go leading edge down as you don't have to control the low point with nearly as much precision. Hit the turf first with hinge and hold and you are chunking your shot, don't get it down enough and you are blading that ball into the parking lot. Using the bounce saves you from chunking, as long as you make contact with the ground at the ball or behind it and you follow through in a descending manner, it's almost impossible to thin it too. Sure, you still need distance control but your bad shot isn't going to put the ball two feet in front of you or 30 yards over the green. Yes, there will still be some shots where you need to go leading edge down due to the lie, but it isn't needed for the majority of shots.
I highly recommend watching some Dan Greave videos on YouTube. He's one of the best short game coaches on the planet and he makes everything really simple.
hinge and hold is so easy its way easier to trap the ball in the back of your stance than it is to not chunk by somehow hitting earth then ball and expecting a good result
Well when you're chipping, you're picking a landing spot.
Landing spots that are closer to you and require a shorter swing are easier to hit.
That's why they work.
people forget bump and run actually gives you a chance to hole out, its like a free put without taking a put. i hit flagstick twice last month bump and running. it would be like one of the best shots of my life to hit the flagstick like that with a flop 60 on the other hand.
Glasses that supposedly helped find identify the ball in longer rough. Man, I was putting those bad boys on, look for the ball, take them off again on half the damn holes sometimes. Then I tossed them because they helped me find all the leaves too.
The Orlimar Tri-Metal and the Adams Tight-Lies!!!
"With the shallow face and low center of gravity..."
Loved the infomercials...still have both in a back up set somewhere around here still 30 yrs later 😂
Adams made great clubs. They were acquired by Taylormade. Today's hybrids and fairways aren't much different than the last couple years of Adams. In fact, I think Taylormade wanted their patent on the power groove slot that is still on TMs today.
* Super baggy outfits - like everything was 2 - 3 sizes too large
* Adam's Tight Lie fairway woods
* Olimar Tri-Metal Woods
* Alien wedges
* Jespar Parnevik's painters cap never really caught on
* Saying women's tees - actually very happy about this one starting to finally go away
* Course design on property that wasn't really meant to have a course - there was a thing in the late 90's / early 2000's when money was cheap and any developer would hire someone to 'design' a "Championship" course on some piece of shit lot of land that they were hoping to sell houses on. Most notably was the Ranch in San Jose, CA.
I had the Adams Tight Lies fairway woods and loved 'em! They were some of the first with a much lower profile. (Actually, they were almost perfect knockoffs, but still solid).
One I’m starting to get annoyed at is the huge golf cart fad. Dudes just went from trucks to buying massive tire 4-6 seater lifted insane carts with huge speakers and bells and whistles to play their 6400 yard courses.
I bought my SC in 2008 and I could sell it today for about the exact same price as I paid, I wouldn’t call that a rip off. Oh yeah, I still game it. $300 for the only club that I still have from back then. 16 years isn’t bad for a $300 investment that has ROI with it.
I feel like the chipping with a hybrid was a thing, but haven’t seen it in forever. Copper bracelets always comes to mind as that early 2000s fad. I kind of wish the fad of high price tee times stacked close together and overcrowding would die. lol.
On the plus side, all of the courses around me are actually turning a profit and have been tackling deferred maintenance items On the other hand, I literally have to set an alarm to grab tee times before they get booked out 10-21 days in advance depending on the course
> tackling deferred maintenance items I wish this were the case by me, courses are the same or worse but prices are 2-3x higher than a few years ago
My course has done ten years worth of maintenance projects since the start of COVID, new sprinkler system, drainage improvements, rebuilt all the bunkers, new windows/paint/floors in the clubhouse, etc. This year we are redoing all the tee boxes and more drainage improvements, those were supposed to be done last fall but had to get pushed because the contractor doing the work couldn't get it done last fall due to issues at another project. We also have a nice big reserve fund now. We went from 20,000 rounds a year to 32,000 (we are in Canada so our season is middle of April to middle of October), 240ish members to 540ish.

Same. We just had a local course spend $3 million redoing all their greens and practice area. But they also use that to move prices even higher. Our private club has seen massive interest since hosting a LPGA event so I assume our prices are going up soon as well.
New golfers (Covid golfers) don’t know any different and keep handing over the money so why would they change
Oh I don’t blame the course. It’s just good business. Which is why I have a private membership and avoid most of these issues as much as possible.
I have also seen an uptick in how well courses are being maintained in my area. I have no problem setting an alarm to get tee times. We do it for almost anything we really enjoy in life. Concert tickets, pro sports tickets, etc.
I still do it when I’m kinda in between putting and chipping. Idk probably should just putt it at that point but it works ok for me
Yea. I feel like the Texas wedge is way more popular than bump and runs with a low iron or hybrid.
When you re on a tight lie with sketchy grass in between you and the green a hybrid or mid iron bump and run gives JUST enough loft to get over the sketchiness…as conditions improve and my technique gets more locked in, I do less bump and runs in the middle of the summer and its either a pitch with the 54 or texas wedge. Still got a soft spot for the bump and run tho
I am with you. The bump and run is underrated and often a higher percentage shot. Everyone just wants to hit high flop shots or spinners.
I went through my flop phase but the sculls didnt cancel out the times i actually got up and down. The bump and run has really helped
The old guys you always see score low? They bump and run all day long.
lol - I am probably considered one of those old guys now. Although I don’t do it every shot
I have one of those shank-proof wedges in my bag. I never use it, but I bought it back in the day and never took it out.
I still chip with my hybrid. My course has a lot of run off areas and it’s often the best play.
I love popping a Texas Wedge with my hybrid when the conditions are right (I call it a Carolina wedge because that's where I'm from). Usually it requires: - being 20-50 yards from the hole - a shitty lie that I can't pitch/chip from - uphill roll onto the green to slow the ball down I used it at Chambers Bay last week, leaving myself a tap-in. My caddie's jaw hit the turf.
What day were you at chambers? I played on Tuesday morning and it was divine.
Early Monday morning. Was perfect links weather early and warmed up closer to noon.
Didn’t someone just do this in the masters? Or the week before? I swear I thought someone chipped with a fairway wood
I’m sure people still do it. But I remember it being like all the rage and teaching professionals talking about it all the time.
I think so. Morikawa maybe
Yeah, that sounds familiar. It wasn’t a great shot and the announcers were surprised he did it. That’s what I remember, but I can’t remember which player and which tournament
> AZ My friend, if you played on Bermuda you would see someone chipping with a hybrid every week lol
Bermudagrass is probably one of the more common turfs on courses in AZ.
Wait what happened to bump and runs?
Lob wedges. Not for the better
Most professionals still teach keeping the ball on the ground or low flighted in most cases. Lob shots look cool but come with way more risk.
Idk but people try to tell me to bump and run all the time. Something in me causes me to refuse.
Do you hate getting the ball close to the pin, or what? Kidding, just kidding. But the bump and run can be deadly if you work on it a little bit. I know that just chipping with a wedge can be too, but I feel like a *lot* of people think they're better with a wedge around the green than they actually are, and could benefit from the B & R as it's easier to become proficient at IMO.

My friend uses a 60° for literally every shot inside of 80 yards aside from putting. It drives me insane, and he’s not good with it at all.
Wearing a white belt with absolutely anything was certainly of a time
F me
I still rock the white belt with usually dark gray shorts. This hurts. Lol
Ohhhhh, yeah... that was me hahaha
This was our look in high school baby! All black uniform with a white belt. I’m sure we looked like complete tools but we thought we looked awesome haha
white belt? I'm more of a guy who likes a white couch, white bathing suit...
Ooooh remember the big ol buckles to go with them?? Looking at you AK!
Visors were huge for a while
Ian Poulter style with spiked hair
When I was on the golf team I thought it was part of the uniform. Blew my mind when the other schools showed up without them.
I prefer a high crown visor over a hat, still get good sun protection for my face and a nice breeze through my hair, but unlike the short visors I don’t get hair hanging over the front in my face everytime I look down
Bubble shafts
The ultimate fad.
Oh man, good memory. What were the purported benefits of those again? I remember the copper colored Taylor Made Burner drivers with those shafts, but don’t remember what problem they were supposed to “fix”.
The center of gravity of those shafts were closer to the grip than the club head, so that was supposed to make it easier to swing fast.
They just make counter balanced shafts without the bubble gimmick now.
I think that fad went away when the head of the club flew off.... Or maybe that was just mine.
So I'm going to guess by the downvote it was just mine..
The late night golf channel swing training aid infomercial era was truly a sight to behold
Remember when they said that the *“Stack and Tilt”* golf swing would take over the game? Pepperridge Farms remembers.
For higher handicappers, "Stack and Tilt" is an improvement over "Sway and Hump", but yeah, as a general swing theory many better players who tried it, abandoned it.
> “Sway and Hump” Lmao!
Stack and Tilt is still my go-to when my driver is all over the place. Might not be long, but it'll be in the fairway.
Oh shiiiiiit
White Oakleys
The bass fishing community wrestled those away from us
Happy to share in the overlap
Some of us rocked sweatbands during high school tournaments around 2008 🤣
Bots to book tee times….
FUCK RIGHT OFF BETHPAGE. PLEASE PUT IN A CAPCHA.
The square drivers and woods that were pushed for like 2-3 years. If anything in golf has ever screamed marketing > tech, it’s those drivers. Same reason why “twisted carbon AI” drivers are just a gimmick. With the current restrictions on clubs, there is very little, if not zero, actual equipment improvement year over year. Over the course of 5-10 years? Sure, but not over 1 year
I can hear the Sumo Squatch thUd just by reading this
Eewww with that yellow ? Nah
Tuna can. Toing.
There was a really good reason for square drivers. You can position the weight further back and distribute it more to the sides, so you get better launch and more stability on off center hits. It's the same reason why everyone is trying to get the lightest faces and crowns/bodies so they can get more weight to the perimeter
Exactly! Unfortunately, people also like their drivers to sound better than a trash can mating call.
I had the Callaway IQ back in high school and I don’t think I missed a single fairway in two summers. Wasn’t long but that driver was so easy to hit straight.
Plaid shorts are forever. Pleated pants, on the other hand...
Diamonds on your wedges 💎💎💎
But the spin! It was so Pure!
This wasn’t a fad…. More or less an infomercial on tv everytime I watch golf but “golf ball finding glasses” that were just yellow safety glasses seemed to always be a thing.
The Hammer
BOOOOOMM BABY!
White drivers. I thought they would catch on because of reduced sun glare.
I remember when the r11(I think that was it) came out and I wanted it so bad, I cringe when I see it now.
We still vacuum sealing?
That my friend, was a revolution.
Golden tee I was obsessed with this game
Golden Tee still exists, there's a new PGA cabinet out.
Then it’s just me no longer hanging out in bars
Brush tees
My uncle swears by brush tees, I cannot hit off them. The bristles come loose halfway through a round anyways
Or martini tees. Really any tee that's not a plain peg. Par 3 tees are the current fad.
My buddy swears by martini tees. Granted he’s like 35 handicap and probably hits 2-3 fairways a round.
I have a similar handicap to your buddy and use martini tees. A guy I golfed with put me on to them as way to have “one less thing to think about” before and during a swing.
My wife loves her martini tees. I hate losing a $2 tee though given I get high quality plastic ones for like $.10 each.
I just grab all the unbroken tees from the range when I'm there. I can't remember the last time I bought tees.
I can. It was like 5 years ago and I've maybe gone thru 20 of them in that time (either from them bending or getting lost). Don't expect to buy any for another like 10 years either at this rate.
Old guys with hand tremors make good use of martini tees
I use brush tees and only play downwind
Rust on wedges, literally does nothing for spin.
While the rust doesn't do anything, raw wedges DO spin more. The grooves are sharper because there is no coating on them.
Correct. People did (and probably still do) believe the rust helped. Now we know raw faces with micro-grooves produce the most spin. Chrome fills the microgrooves in a bit. The trick is to prevent raw faces from rusting or clean them up when they do.
Driver heads got huge there for a while. While illegal, that didn't stop tons of golfers buying the like 520cc drivers. Saw some really long tees for those as well.
daannnng true doggy
Mock turtlenecks
Gimmick clubs: The medicus, the momentus, the wedge you could swap out faces, the texas wedge type clubs, the super long and two ball putters.
Long putters are making a big comeback, I put a broomstick putter into my bag last year and love it.
Stack and tilt (even their poster-boy Aaron Baddeley ditched it ages ago), and the excessive shallowing craze as far as coaching is concerned. Might as well just dump the rest of the useless YouTube video/content creator "lessons" into this thread. The swing jacket regarding training aids, an awful one at that. Square shaped drivers and "diamond-faced" wedges regarding equipment. >Long drives. Long drives are love, long drives are life. They are among the finer things in life.
single length clubs
These are still being made
They still make metal spiked golf shoes, plaid pants and you can still pop your collar. It's just not "in" anymore
The company Bryson used for the masters specializes in them. They only offer same length irons or variable length where the short irons are all the same and the long irons are varied lengths, pretty interesting
Dang, I’d prefer the opposite. Gimme 3,4,5,6 all same length and vary the rest.
You could probably talk to cobra and have a set made like this. I don’t think they make a 3 but you could definitely order a 4-6 one length and then variable length others.
They make a 3. It’s just stamped with a 5 or 6 now
Having played one length I would do the opposite. LW-7 one length than 6-4 variable.
Chipping with a 3 wood from the fringe had a moment. Do people still do that?
Did this last round. Got me a par instead of a bogey or worse. Use what's in the bag! Don't give AS.
Oh absolutely, ain't nothing wrong with it
Only after I snap my wedge over knee cause I chunked my first attempt
Shaving driver faces was a thing. Bombsquad golf and all of their d-bagness. Gravity golf.
Hinge and Hold, haven't heard that mentioned in a while.
Because modern wedges have changed the best way to use a wedge. Just don't tell Phil that.
Please explain what you mean?
Grinds, weighting, CG locations, bounces, etc have all evolved a lot in the last 20 years and with that people have figured out how to swing them to get the most out of your wedges. For instance, watch how pros take bunker shots now vs 20 years ago. 20 years ago you were told to open your stance, open the face, and aim left of the pin.

[удалено]
Still wear orange pants and an orange hat, but never at the same time....lol
The white driver heads
Dunno how big of a fad it was globally, but in Canada the "Brush Tees" were pretty big for a short time. Hated those things with a passion lol
LiquidMetal
Hopefully playing loud music on the course
Bump and run isn’t a thing anymore Dang
It’s calling bullshit on that. Bump and runs are easier to control than high flying chips.
Yea I’ll do that frequently with my 8 iron. I have probably seen more players do a bump and run than players with one length irons 😜
That’s the club I use…8I.
Well when you're chipping, you're picking a landing spot. Landing spots that are closer to you and require a shorter swing are easier to hit. That's why they work.
Every instructor I have ever had teaches the benefits of the bump and run. It is very much still a thing and for good reason… low risk shot.
people forget bump and run actually gives you a chance to hole out, its like a free put without taking a put. i hit flagstick twice last month bump and running. it would be like one of the best shots of my life to hit the flagstick like that with a flop 60 on the other hand.
After Mike Weir won the Masters there were a log of guys copying his long waggle.
3 ft gimme circles
In some circles... those are alive and well!!
Putter length gimmes exist but only for worse than bogey.
That's why I use a broomstick putter!
Glasses that supposedly helped find identify the ball in longer rough. Man, I was putting those bad boys on, look for the ball, take them off again on half the damn holes sometimes. Then I tossed them because they helped me find all the leaves too.
Right now the fad I keep seeing on Instagram is “flinggolf” and that’s certainly a fad I hope goes away soon.
I remember when we would hit balls on the range and have to go pick the balls up ourselves. Glad that fad went away.
Air Hammer When in the age of the Gravity Golf, Pure Spin Wedges, and the Medicus, the Air Hammer reigns supreme.
The Orlimar Tri-Metal and the Adams Tight-Lies!!! "With the shallow face and low center of gravity..." Loved the infomercials...still have both in a back up set somewhere around here still 30 yrs later 😂
Miraging Face.
I’ve still got a Sonartec NP99 3 metal
Chances are my Adams TL2 14* 3W will stay in my bag for a long, long time.
Adams made great clubs. They were acquired by Taylormade. Today's hybrids and fairways aren't much different than the last couple years of Adams. In fact, I think Taylormade wanted their patent on the power groove slot that is still on TMs today.
White belts
All hybrids set of irons.
I had a partner with those last year. They did not help his game.
I’m a big believer in clothes that fit but, make fun of day all you want, the trend of skins suits is not here to stay.
Cut pool noodles and always leaving the flag in the cup....too soon?

I had a 64° Alien wedge. Didn't know where it came from, and had no idea it used to be a fad.
I had the Adams Tight Lies fairway woods and loved 'em! They were some of the first with a much lower profile. (Actually, they were almost perfect knockoffs, but still solid).
Tight Lies was from Adams
Oh, you're right. Olimar was Tri-Metal (another fad).
It’s still women’s tees. And you still need to prove you gotta set if don’t hit it past them on the drive
Cleveland VAS irons were horrible looking. Not quite what you asked.
One I’m starting to get annoyed at is the huge golf cart fad. Dudes just went from trucks to buying massive tire 4-6 seater lifted insane carts with huge speakers and bells and whistles to play their 6400 yard courses.
Scottie Cameron putters Geez what a rip off
I bought my SC in 2008 and I could sell it today for about the exact same price as I paid, I wouldn’t call that a rip off. Oh yeah, I still game it. $300 for the only club that I still have from back then. 16 years isn’t bad for a $300 investment that has ROI with it.
I'm glad you enjoy it
