Golf training aids are everywhere.

Swing trainers.

Putting gadgets.

Alignment sticks.

Tempo trainers.

Mats.

Nets.

Devices that promise to fix things you didn't even know were broken.

Some are fantastic.

Some become very expensive garage decorations.

So let's hear it.

What's your favorite training aid?

Could be:
- swing trainers
- putting aids
- alignment tools
- launch monitors
- nets
- mats
- mirrors
- or anything else that's actually helped your game

Bonus points if it's something you still use instead of something currently collecting dust in the garage.

Launch monitor worth it?

A few years ago, launch monitors felt like something only tour pros and instructors had.

Now it feels like everyone has one.

Or wants one.

Or is trying to convince themselves they need one.

So let's hear it.

Are launch monitors worth it?

Did one actually help your game?

Or did it just give you more information to obsess over during practice?

Could be:
Garmin
Rapsodo
SkyTrak
FlightScope
TrackMan
Full Swing
or anything else you've used

Because golf already gives us plenty to think about before adding another screen full of numbers.

Best golf app?

Golf somehow turned into:
swing thoughts
GPS tracking
stat analysis
launch monitors
shot tracing
AI swing breakdowns
and 14 different apps trying to lower your handicap.

So -
what golf app do you actually use?

And more importantly:
what’s actually worth it?

Could be:
GPS/rangefinder apps
score tracking
handicap tracking
swing analysis
simulator software
Apple Watch apps
launch monitor apps
anything that genuinely helped your game

Or…
anything that made you realize you probably don’t need MORE data during a round.

Let’s hear what’s actually useful.
Golf already gives us enough things to overthink.
