“Yeah, she’s inviting him over tomorrow.” 

You were leaned back on your pillow, propped up against your head board, sighing and pinching your nose bridge as you caught your best friend up on how your mom has found a ‘suitor’ for you. An arranged marriage. 

“I- will help you figure this out, don’t worry. I'm sure it'll be fine. And if not, we can't run away to a deserted island.” Yoongi smiled, hoping he could ease your anxiety even just a little, and you did giggle momentarily, but the pressure and sense of impending doom was much stronger than your best mate's words of affirmation right now. 

You sighed dramatically. “I can't believe this is happening. Like- now?” you whined, kicking your legs about like a child and slumping down on your pillows. 

“Listen I gotta go, but you'll be okay. Just get through the dinner and call me with updates afterward.” Yoongi rushed his words. “Yeah, I'll call you tomorrow night, so stay up,” you teased, knowing Yoongi was usually tuckered out by 9:30 if he wasn't busy.

When the dinner came round, you found yourself super zoned out at the dinner table, the buzzing sound of muffled kitchen appliances echoing in your mind subconsciously while the sound of your parents talking to Lee Ho drowned out, almost mimicking closely to how the adults sound in Peanuts the movie. You might be Snoopy now.

Your father was on the topic of golf at this point while your mother had stepped out just a moment ago to go check on the food and then go to the restroom.

“I know you'll love to see my collection of putters,” your dad gushed, face red with nerves as he rushed out of the dining room, leaving you and Lee Ho alone.

Lee Ho was tall, charming, smelled good and apparently would be studying to become a surgeon after his military service in the coming year. You picked up on these bullet pointed details in moments that your mind came to focus. 

To you, he sounded boring. Having been raised around gang life, no matter how much your parents tried to keep you away from it in your developmental ages, you still grew comfortable with the instability. You don’t feel you could click or relate to stability, and Lee Ho seemed to be the picture of it.

“You’re not interested at all, are you?” Lee Ho broke the silence, his hands awkwardly folded over his lap like he wasn't sure where to put them. He must really be nervous. Thats when the guilt washed over you.

“Uh, no sorry,” spoken like a true heiress. “No I'm sorry. Women are supposed to agree on this- procedure along with the men being arranged.” he sighed, looking down at his lap and smoothing his slacks. You nodded. He seemed unsure of his vocabulary, like this conversation was a topic he’d never touched out loud before. 

“I- we could still get married,” he suggested bashfully, and your eyebrows rose against your will. “What?” you asked in nearly a gasp. He chuckled. “Well, your mom seems relentless about finding you a partner as soon as humanly possible. How do you know the next guy won't be someone who argues with their knuckles?” he pursed his lips, lettingout  a sharp noise similar to a balloon. The tension in how you breathed released itself once you welcomed thoughts that could cause you to panic.

“I dont mind if us being married is purely on paper.” Lee Ho chewed on the inside of his cheek as he searched your face for the slightest hint of what you were thinking. 

Although getting married this young and fast without an ounce of love was crazy to you, and you could never really understand it, your mother would never understand because she needed to put the gang first right now. It was one of those things that if you thought about it too muc,h it would make you react and act out of hurt.

You exhaled sharply and looked up at him. “Okay. it- doesnt sound so bad,” you spoke in a clearly reluctant tone, hopping and praying quietly in your mind that this wasn't an impulsive decision you’d made in a panic that was shutting your logic out. 

Lee Ho smiled softly and nodded slightly. Your parents walked back in just as your conversation ended. “Here are my beauties.” Your dad smiled, with his golf bag falling off his shoulder.

The rest of the dinner went smoothly, and just before Lee Ho left you managed to get his number. 

“So? What do you think?” your mother asked, joining you in the common room after sending Lee Ho off. You just nodded, and that was enough for your mother to understand. “Really?!” she exclaimed, grabbing your hands and clasping them to her lips to kiss. “Yeah.” your tone flat. 

Your mother ran off to her study, squealing causing you to have your own giggle fit before getting up to grab snacks from the kitchen. 

Your kitchen staff had gone home for the night so you were free to have your pick of the pantry. As you scanned the wall of snacks, you brought out your phone and gave Yoongi a call, the time only being 9 pm.

“Salt and vinegar or caramel popcorn?” you asked when the ringing stopped, looking the two options over. “Caramel.” Yoongi's smile was audible and it was equally as contagious as the visual.

You picked the bag and walked up to your room while Yoongi asked his own question. “So how’d it go?” he asked, shifting in his bed being heard on his end. Worry bubbled up in your stomach when you realized the outcome of tonight was definitely not what Yoongi thought he’d hear.

Your stomach twisted. “Im- getting married,” you spoke, a new anxiety bubbling in your stomach. “They got to you, huh?” he chuckled. You sighed softly. “Yoongi,” you whined, sitting in your bed and opening the bag of popcorn.

“I guess the only way I can explain it is I was able to talk about what I wanted in the marriage, and not only did he listen, her suggested other freedoms. He suggest the marriage be strictly paper.” you rambled before stuffing your mouth with popcorn, anxiously anticipating his words.

“That sounds safe and healthy to you?” he asked. Yoongi didn't really have to say anything else, you were saying it out loud for yourself for the first time, and you heard exactly why he’d say such a thing. You sighed in defeat as if this was your only option and sure in your family it is the only way but in real life as an adult you have so many choices but you had no idea what would happen if you defied your mother.

“It's all I got.” You bit your lip then licked your fingers clean and placing the bag of popcorn on your nightstand. “I dont like that. You deserve way more than to settle.” he spoke softly almost whining, his emotions audible. “Its quite literally my only option.”

“Wanna sneak over?”

You giggled and stood off your bed.

Sneaking around with your forbidden bestfriend at your grown age was not ideal but you couldnt really complain considering your families were barely on amicable terms and, you know, forbidden.

Yoongi helped you into his window. Avoiding the goons keeping guard around the mansion was always very fun, it helped you exercise your stealth and agility. 

"Have your parents looked into this guy?" Yoongi asked, his voice laced with something unreadable—concern, maybe, or skepticism. He'd been quiet for most of the conversation, listening intently as you spoke about your so-called fiancé. But now, his sharp gaze was fixed on you, his fingers idly tapping against his thigh.

You blinked, considering his question. "Not that I know of," you admitted with a small shrug. "But I doubt that’s something they’d skip over."

Still, as the words left your mouth, a sliver of doubt crept into your mind. Your parents were powerful, calculating. They had connections that could dig up anyone’s past in an instant. But did that mean they actually had? Or were they so blinded by what this marriage could offer them that they hadn’t bothered?

Yoongi hummed, nodding slightly, but his expression remained unreadable.

The two of you were sprawled across his bed, your back against the headboard while he lay stretched out at your feet, leaning back on his elbows. It was comfortable—familiar. You'd spent countless nights like this, talking about anything and everything, but tonight, there was a weight to the conversation that neither of you could ignore.

He shifted slightly, tilting his head as he studied you. "Doesn't that bother you?"

You frowned. "What do you mean?"

He let out a soft sigh, sitting up a little. "That they didn’t tell you anything. That they just expect you to go along with it."

You swallowed, looking away. "It’s not like I have a choice."

Yoongi scoffed at that, running a hand through his dark hair. "There’s always a choice, Love." The nickname rolled off his tongue with something close to bitterness, but there was an edge of playfulness too, like he was trying to keep things light despite the heaviness of the situation.

You sighed, rubbing your hands over your face. "What am I supposed to do, Yoongi? Say no? I’ve already tried that."

He hesitated, as if weighing his words, then spoke again. “It’s strange to me—how easy it was.” His voice was steady, but you could hear the slight hitch in his breath at the end.

“I know,” you murmured, pausing as you struggled to find the right words. “I… I can’t explain it. Lee Ho just—he—” You shrugged, frustration lacing your sigh. “I don’t know how to put it into words.”

Yoongi nodded slowly, his expression unreadable. Then, after a beat, he asked, “Did you ever stop to think about what this means for us? What if we won’t be able to see each other anymore?”

His voice was cold—calculated, even—but you knew him too well. Beneath the carefully measured tone, there was something else. Hurt. Fear.

Your stomach twisted. In truth, you hadn’t thought about that at all. You had been so caught up in your own whirlwind of decisions, obligations, and consequences that the idea of losing Yoongi—your closest, and perhaps only, real friend—hadn’t even crossed your mind. And now, the realization hit you like ice in your veins.

“No,” you admitted, your voice hollow.

Yoongi clenched his jaw, chewing on the inside of his cheek. The weight of your oversight sat heavy between you, an unspoken betrayal. You couldn’t bring yourself to meet his eyes now, not when you knew exactly what you’d find there.

“I’m sorry,” you whispered, eyes fixed on the floor, on the fabric of his socks—anywhere but his face. "you know what, I'm- we arent teenagers anymore. you don't have to consider me everytime you make a life changing decision." he nodded and the hurt became more and more evident, breaking your heart more and more. 

"oh yoongi im sorry, i should have considered you. it was so tense I wasn't thinking at all. You're like- my whole life." you brought your hands to your face and rubber your eyes before sitting up and turning your body to face your best friend. yoongi chuckled in response. "shut up its not that serious." he smiled.

"you're my life too." he rolled his eyes, speaking in a whisper.

After a few months of hectic wedding planning with your mother and spending more time with Lee Ho it was time for the wedding.

The night before the ceremony arrives, and you find yourself sinking into the luxurious soaking tub of your lavish suite, the warm water enveloping you. Just as you begin to relax, the sudden ringing of your phone pierces the quiet, startling you. Your heart leaps in your chest as you gasp, but you quickly rise from the tub, reaching for your phone on the counter.

“Yeah?” you spoke into the phone, trying your hardest not to crack the mask you had spread on your face. “Are you at the hotel right now?” Yoongi asked, the sounds of revving cars, beeping and loud streets coming through the line. “Aw ya coning?” you spoke nearly incoherently in a desperate attempt to keep your mask in one piece. Yoongi chuckled. “Yeah text me your room number and ill be there.”

You scrambled out of the tub to get dressed, your hair still damp and smelling of raspberry. 

“Open up!” yoongi knocked on the door while you stumbled around getting your jeans on. 

“I hired a private investigator.” he blurted once you had the door wide open. You were too stunned to speak but he pushed right through you. “Lee Ho; hes been lying. Hes part of a small gang from a small city. I found out they’ve been trying to recruit.” Yoongi rambled on as you followed him to the bed where he sprawled the photos over your bed accompanying files and screenshots of messages and emails.

Your blood ran cold, you stood frozen just behind Yoongi, scanning the photos.

Suddenly you remembered everytime Lee ho stepped away at awkward times to have secret phone calls or when he’d disappear in the middle of events and lied about where he was. You hadnt given it much thought but it all made sense now. 

“What do I even do with this?” you asked, shaking your head. Your hands were steady, but you could feel the tight knot forming in your stomach. “If I bring this to my mom, she’ll just demand to know how I found out.” And then what? She’d tear through the city to figure out who had leaked this information, and if she found out it was Yoongi…

Your grip on the edge of the mattress tightened.

Yoongi exhaled through his nose, as if he had already thought this through. “We could get married,” he said casually, reaching forward to push the phone out of your line of sight.

You blinked, snapping your gaze up to his face. “What?”

His expression was unreadable—calm, unwavering, serious.

Your cheeks burned hot, yet at the same time, it felt like all the blood drained from your face. “Yoongi, are you joking?”

“No.” His eyes locked onto yours. “Marry me instead.”

"that is genuinely the worst idea youve ever had." you sighed, bringing your hands up to cup your face.

Yoongi leaned in, his voice steady but filled with something dangerously close to excitement. "But think about it," he urged, his dark eyes searching yours. "If you and I get married, your mom can't force you to take her place. She won’t be able to push you into marrying some stranger for the sake of the family business. You’d finally have your freedom. And…” he softened, a small, teasing smile forming as he wrapped an arm around you, pulling you into a warm side-hug. "You’d get to be stuck with your best friend forever. Not the worst deal, right?"

You rolled your eyes but you did give it a once over and still you worried of the consequences. “But what about your parents?” you stood up, running your hands through your hair in an attempt to self sooth. Yoongi looked down at you. “What about my parents?” you asked in a panic just as you began pacing.

Yoongi watched you walk in circles with a dumbfounded look on his face as you rambled on and on about what could possibly happen as a result of you marrying the one person your parents didnt approve of. 

He grabbed your arm and pulled you into a hug, one hand resting on your back while the other pressed your head into his chest. “Trust me, its going to be okay.” he whispered as he began rubbing his hand up and down your back and just like usual you melted, relaxing in his arms. “Okay.” you took a deep breath. “Okay, okay.” you hugged him back.

What started as an absurd, last-minute idea turned into a long, drawn-out conversation—one that stretched into the early hours of the morning. Every doubt, every concern, every possible worst-case scenario was dissected between the two of you. And by the time the first rays of sunlight bled into the sky, the decision had already been made.

So, with the kind of recklessness that could only come from desperation and blind trust, you and Yoongi found yourselves standing in front of a clerk at city hall, signing away your last names and sealing your futures together.

You glanced at Yoongi as he pressed the pen to paper, his signature flowing effortlessly. He caught your eye, lips curling into a smirk.

"Too late to back out now," he teased.

You bit your lip, suppressing a laugh, and quickly signed your own name. The witnesses—who very clearly recognized the both of you—exchanged hushed whispers, shooting skeptical glances your way. But none of it mattered.

Because as the final signature dried on the page, Yoongi nudged you with his elbow, eyes twinkling with amusement.

"Guess you’re stuck with me now, wife."

For the first time in the sixteen years you had known Yoongi, you felt butterflies in your stomach. A feeling so foreign, so unexpected, that it nearly knocked the breath out of you. Because this wasn’t just Yoongi—your childhood best friend, your partner in mischief, the boy who always had your back.

No.

This was Min Yoongi. Your husband.

The weight of that realization settled over you like a second skin, both terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure. He had chosen this—chosen you. And as if he could sense the storm of emotions brewing within you, Yoongi tightened his grip around your hand, grounding you.

You giggled, unable to help yourself. He smiled slightly, the corners of his lips twitching in quiet amusement, but he said nothing. The two of you simply took your copies of the marriage documents and headed toward the grand venue that had once been meant for your wedding to Lee Ho.

The moment you stepped out of the car, a shrill voice cut through the air.

“Where the fuck have you been?” Your mother’s panicked screech rang out as she stormed toward you, the chiffon of her designer gown billowing with each sharp step. “You’re not dressed! You don’t have your things! Do you have any idea what you’re doing right now, Y/N?”

You barely had time to react before she was gripping your wrist, her nails digging slightly into your skin as if to keep you from running.

“Mom. Mom.” You quickly took her hands in yours, squeezing them in an attempt to calm her. "Please. Just listen to me."

Your mother inhaled sharply through her nose, clearly battling the urge to continue her tirade. With great effort, she pressed her lips together, her chest rising and falling in measured breaths.

“What?” she hissed, voice laced with venom. “What is it, Y/N?”

You swallowed hard, but there was no hesitation in your words.

“Min Yoongi and I are married.”

The world seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Then, Yoongi stepped forward, emerging from behind you with the kind of effortless confidence that only he possessed. His posture was relaxed, but the quiet power in his presence was unmistakable. He met your mother’s gaze with an unreadable expression, his dark eyes steady, unwavering.

Dressed in a deep lavender button-up, black slacks, polished dress shoes, and with his hair styled neatly, he was the picture of a responsible young man. Someone respectable. Someone competent.

Someone untouchable.

Your mother’s face instantly flushed a deep, unforgiving shade of red. Her lips parted, but no words came out. Instead, she turned sharply on her heel and disappeared into the venue without another word.

You blinked, momentarily stunned by her lack of reaction.

Finally, you turned to Yoongi, exhaling a breath you hadn’t realized you were holding.

“Well��� that wasn’t exactly the reaction I was hoping for,” you admitted, pressing a hand to your stomach as a light giggle escaped your lips. "But honestly? It’s a hell of a lot better than the one I thought I’d get."

Yoongi smirked, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Guess we got off easy.”

just as the two of you began walking back to the car the entire crowd began walking out of the venue, all the guests. "that was quick as fuck. i do not want them to see you just get into the car." you rushed yoongi and he nodded, climbing into the car.

Yoongi did feel like he had taken something special from you, the wedding you had planned and prepared for so he allowed the two of you to planned one of your own. He wanted you to have your own beautiful day.

And so your fingers idly traced the outlines of floral arrangements and color palettes as you fine-tuned the vision for your wedding venue. You felt the indentation your pencil made on the paper just beneath your fingers. It had been a long day, and the quiet hum of the apartment was soothing. That was until the door clicked open causing your attention to snap up at your husband. God it made your heart grow a size everytime you remembered the two of you were married.

“Hey, love,” Yoongi’s deep voice filled the space, smooth and familiar. He kicked off his shoes and shrugged off his jacket, his movements relaxed but deliberate.

You looked up, offering him a small smile. “I’m working on the visuals for the venue,” you murmured, holding up the pages for him to see.

Yoongi leaned over the back of the couch, resting a hand beside you as he peered over your shoulder. His warmth surrounded you, a presence you had grown so used to over the years but had never been this hyper-aware of until now. “Mmm, that’s beautiful,” he murmured in approval. “The colors are gonna fit perfectly. I can send you the playlist I put together later.”

“You made a playlist?” you teased, glancing at him with a raised brow.

His lips curled into a lazy smirk. “Of course. You know I have good taste.”

You chuckled, shaking your head before returning to your sketches. The comfortable silence settled between you both, but Yoongi didn’t move away. Instead, he shifted, lowering himself onto the couch beside you, his shoulder brushing yours. His gaze lingered on your face, thoughtful.

“Can I ask you something?” His voice was quieter now, softer.

You hummed in response, still focused on your work.

“Are you happy?”

That made you pause. Your fingers froze over the page, and you turned to face him fully. His expression was unreadable, but his eyes were searching, almost hesitant.

“I mean, with all of this,” he continued, nodding toward the wedding plans. “With me.”

Your breath hitched. It was an unexpected question, but one you didn’t need time to answer. “Of course, I am,” you admitted, almost confused as to why he’d ask.

Yoongi’s lips parted slightly, like he was weighing his next words. Then, with a quiet exhale, he ran a hand through his dark hair, his gaze dropping to the floor for a moment before locking onto yours again. “I know we started this for convenience,” he said, his tone careful. “But I don’t think I’ve been pretending.”

Your heart skipped a beat.

“I think it was ninth grade that i figured out i have feelings for you,” he confessed, avoiding your gaze. “I just... never said anything because I thought it would mess things up. But now that we’re here, now that you’re mine—” he swallowed, fingers flexing against his thigh, “—I don’t want to pretend like it’s just for show. I want this. You. Us.”

The weight of his words settled over you like a warm embrace, and for a moment, you could only stare. The realization bloomed in your chest, sudden and inevitable, like a match being struck in the dark. He called you his so comfortably and it instantly made you feel like you were floating out of your body.

So you didn’t say anything. Instead, you reached for him, closing the space between you as your lips pressed against his.

Yoongi inhaled sharply, as if he hadn’t expected you to respond this way, but the moment he processed it, he melted into you. His hand cradled your jaw, fingers grazing your skin with a tenderness that sent shivers down your spine. The kiss was slow, unhurried, filled with all the words neither of you had dared to say before.

When you finally pulled away, his forehead rested against yours, his breath mingling with yours in the quiet of the room.

“Okay,” you whispered. “Let’s not pretend.”

Yoongi smiled. “Yeah?”

You nodded, and for the first time since all of this started, you felt truly, completely sure. 

“So,” you paused, straddling him. “This is what you meant when you said that I deserve way more than to settle?” You giggled, draping your arms over his shoulders but Yoongi had been so satisfied with the outcome of his sudden confession that all he did was smile while the soft blush consumed his face. His smile alone satisfying you.

so like i said i found this request intimidating because Ive never written mafia au before but I wanted to challenge myself and I ended up having a lot of fun with it lol and actually had more of a hard time deciding in which direction I wanted It to go. let me know if you guys would want the 7k word version of this. not to sound like I'm holding it hostage but i of course need more than 1 or 2 people to want it. OH ALSO new banner what do you think? i thought this fic needed something new since its a whole au lol and yes the full version includes smut (you dirty dawgs ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ

Enjoy!

You’d had a wonderful dinner with Jake, he surprised you after work. The night was still young with stars just starting to twinkle in the sky and as he was driving home you saw a billboard advertising a nighttime mini-golf course.

“Can we go mini-golfing?!” you ask him excitedly. “It’s two exits away!”

Jake looks at the billboard apprehensive but replaces it with a soft smile.

“Sure, Sugar.”

He takes the proper exit and finds a parking spot right in front. It’s packed with families and other young couples doing date night. There was an Icee machine, cotton candy, and big pretzels in the concession stands near the entrance. Jake opened your door, helped you out and held your hand all the way up to the ticket booth.

A teenage girl stared wide-eyed as Jake smiled politely at her.

“Two for mini-golf please?” he asks. He releases your hand so he can pull out his wallet, his black Mastercard shining in the night as he hands it to her.

“S-sure,” she stutters. When she grabs the credit card she drops it and it clangs on the metal countertop. She turns tomato red as she swipes the card but it’s approved instantly and she slides it back to him. “You can pick out your ball and putter over there.”

“Thank you,” Jake smiles then tugs you along. 

You pick a neon pink ball and Jake wants you to pick one for him so you find a green one to match his eyes. You write down your names on the scorecard and wait your turn at the first hole as a family of three are going. It’s two women and a little boy about four years old, he hits the ball and follows it down the green while both moms are encouraging him and snapping some photos.

“You two can go ahead, Louis likes to whack it in,” the one closest to you says. 

“We don’t mind waiting,” you smile then turn to Jake, “Isn’t he adorable?”

“He is determined,” Jake grins. 

When they make it to the second hole, Jake has you go first and you line up for the shot. The first hole is winding with rocks alternating down as obstacles so you’re trying to aim in between them. You hit it with your putter and the ball doesn’t hit a rock until the very last one which lands your ball against the wall but it’s near the hole. 

“Good job, Sugar,” Jake praises and you smile proudly at him before moving out of his way.

It takes him a bit longer to line up his shot as you watch him carefully, he seems nervous and antsy. He swings his putter and the ball hits the very first rock, rolling right back to him.

“That’s okay, go again,” you tell him. 

He moves the ball back to its spot in front of his feet, his leather shoes shining against the outdoor lights. You back up a little to admire him in his fancy outfit playing mini-golf so you inconspicuously pull out your phone to snap a picture. 

“Hey! No flash photography,” he warns.

“Sorry,” you giggle pocketing it back into your Coach crossbody. Another gift from Jake.

He lines up again, biting his lip and hits the ball. It goes halfway down the green so you follow him to the spot. He hits two more rocks before he finally makes it to the hole. He lets you go first and you tap it in easily but he takes two more strokes. Jake looks mildly irritated as you move to hole number two but you pass it off as not playing in a while.

As you move along the course Jake becomes increasingly irritable as it takes him double the time to score than you. You get to the fifth hole where you have to hit your ball into one of three holes so it will drop down below. Yours goes in the middle and you get a hole in one but Jake’s ball is hit a little too hard and it smacks off the back wall rolling right to him. 

“Fuck,” he hisses quietly and you snap your head at him. You’ve never heard him swear before. He’s gripping the handle of his putter tightly.

“Have you played mini-golf before?” you ask carefully.

“Of course I have,” he grunts and goes again. The ball goes in the hole on the far left and you run to the edge to see it roll into a makeshift sand pit. “Where’d it go?”

“In the made-up sand pit,” you smile apologetically. The muscle in his jaw ticks and he walks past you to go down the small flight of stairs. 

You follow him just as he angles himself awkwardly on the green and wood chips so he can hit his ball. He hits it a bit too hard and goes way past the hole. He grunts again and you move in front of him.

“Hey, hey, hey, slow down,” you place your hand over his hand gripping the putter too tightly. His grip relaxes at your touch but his expression is still hard as he looks down at you. “Are you sure you’ve played before?”

“Once when I was younger. I’m used to regular golf, where you have to hit it hard. This putter is too small and this course has too many weird obstacles,” he huffs.

A snorted laugh escapes you and you cover your mouth while Jake tries to move out of your way. 

“No, no, no, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!” you move in front of him again grabbing hold of his cheek. He pointedly avoids your eyes. “I’m not laughing at you, honey, I swear. It’s just…you’re so good at everything else, I thought this would be a piece of cake for you.”

“Yeah, well, it’s my achilles heel,” he grunts.

“If you don’t like it then why did we come?”

“Because you seemed so excited and I want you to be happy,” he finally meets your gaze.

“Oh, Jake, that’s so sweet,” you rise on your toes to kiss him softly on the lips. “We can stop if you want to.”

“No, we’re almost done and you’re enjoying yourself. Just promise me one thing?” he asks. 

“What’s that?”

“Don’t tell the guys I suck at mini-golf?”

golf date | will and dani

so here's a short fic about will and dani golfing together.

~

one morning while dani is visiting will in mass, he asks dani, "hey baby, would you wanna come golfing with me?"

"do I have to golf or can I just watch?" dani asks while cuddling into will. he smiles and kisses her head, "if you wanna just watch you can. but I'd like you to play at least one hole. or try."

"fine. but you get one hole out of me. after that, I'm sitting in the cart, looking cute, and staring at your ass." dani says and presses onto will's chest. he smiles and holds dani close until they absolutely have to get up.

few days later, they finally go golfing. will takes her out to the course he grew up going to and dani spends the first few holes sitting in the cart. it's like 8am and that's really early for dani, so she's sipping on her coffee trying to wake up while will goes out and starts at the first hole.

after the first couple of holes, dani is finally awake and her personality is too. will smiles at her, "you wanna come out and play the hole?"

"do I have to?" dani whines back. will nods and she trudges out of the cart to look at his clubs. she asks will, "what's your shortest club in length? I think your driver might be too long."

"just grab it and I'll help you adjust." will says and dani rolls her eyes before grabbing it out of his bag. she steps up and takes an extra step back. will goes to put his hands on her waist to adjust her and she says, "don't you dare. I got it. my brothers taught me how to golf, just give me a sec."

will backs off and dani takes a few swings before setting up on the tee. she takes her swing and pipes the ball. she turns at will with a smile and his jaw had dropped. he says, "holy shit dani. you piped that."

"I told you I could golf. I actually hit it farther with the men's clubs than with women's because men's are heavier and it's physics."

will still can't believe how far dani hit the ball. she snaps at him, "close your mouth. we have a hole to play." he nods and they get int he cart to hunt down their balls. dani's ends up farther than will's and she says, "I'm playing one hole and that's it. I hate golfing."

"fine baby. but I better get kisses when you stop playing."

"you get enough of those." dani says rolling her eyes. will smiles, "yea but you love me. so you always give me kisses."

"you're such a child will." dani says approaching her ball with a 9 iron. she swings and hits it on the green while will is sitting just a little bit off the green. will smiles at his girlfriend, "just because you think I'm a child doesn't mean that you don't love me."

"whatever. just hit your ball." dani says and will swings.

long story short, dani wins the hole but immediately sits down int he cart. she pouts to will, "how much longer? it's hot and I just wanna go in the pool."

"can I finish the front 9?" will proposes. dani nods and sits in the shade of the cart while will finishes his holes. after its' all said and done and they get back to will's, will asks dani while they are cuddling in bed for the night, "how come you hate golfing so much? you're so good at it d."

dani sighs, "because my dad used to take me, ty, and dyl out golfing while Alyssa was with my mom and if I did better than ty, he'd always try to hit me with his putter. so overtime I stopped going and would go out with my mom and Alyssa because I didn't wanna deal with ty being a sore loser. he still is by the way, only now he takes it out on Dylan and not me."

will frowns and kisses dani's head, "I'm sorry. he shouldn't have tried to hit you with his putter. that's not fair."

"thanks. but it's fine. I'm over it, I just don't enjoy golfing anymore. I refuse to go with ty and every once in a while I'll go with dyl but that's rare. I just don't like being in the sun that long." dani says while playing with the curls on will's head. he says, "but you liked golfing with me right?"

"will, I love doing anything with you. and I love you. I don't think I say it enough but I do." dani explains while looking in his eyes. will brushes hair out of dani's face and smiles, "I know you do dani. I know that you love me and you don't have to say it because I know. and I love you too baby. so much." will kisses her softly and the two fall asleep holding each other tightly.

Which of you favorite characters are good at bowling but shit at mini golf and which are good at mini golf but shit at bowling (being good at both does not exist, if you see someone who’s good at both you should report them to the SCP foundation for containment)

And this is a type of questions I need in my life.

It's very easy, I didn't had to think too long lmao

I made a quick art because I had this idea in my mind and had to draw it lol click for better quality

So, yeah. Barney Barton is great at bowling, and Kate Bishop excels at mini golf. Both sports require excellent aiming and given that they both hold the title of Hawkeye (Barney for a little time, but it still counts), they would be amazing at it lmao. But why does Barney get bowling and Kate get mini golf? Well, it’s actually easy peasy.

Good at mini golf, shitty at bowling: Kate Bishop

Mini golf is often seen as a rich rich sport, and honestly, that’s all the reasoning I need to believe Kate would be good at it. I imagine her father or sister played, maybe even forced her to join in. And I know she hated every second of it, mostly because of her obvious dislike for anything that screamed wealth. But she turned out to be great at it anyway.

I don’t see Kate as someone who would regularly play or even enjoy it. But if you handed her a putter and put her in the competition, she’d absolutely crush it and take first place without even breaking a sweat. She’s just that good.

I like to imagine a scenario where she’s forced to join a mini golf tournament for a mission or something, and some arrogant old men annoy the hell out of her. So she decides she needs to beat them. Or maybe she wins by accident and doesn’t even notice lmao.

You see this smile on my art? It's her mocking smile at these old guys.

And honestly, I love the stereotypical women’s outfits you see in mini golf. I can totally picture Kate rocking one of these.

As for bowling... I don't think Kate’s ever tried it, but I can totally see America dragging her to a lane one day. And it would go horribly. I can imagine the Young Avengers or her West Coast Avengers team roasting her endlessly for the "great Hawkeye" being absolutely terrible at bowling.

Good at bowling, shitty at mini gold: Barney Barton

I feel like bowling would be the kind of thing Barney would totally get into. He was never an archery freak like his bro, and it always seemed forced during his Trickshot days. So I bet he'd love to redirect his marksmanship skills toward something fun and casual.

Plus, considering he was rolling in money in All-New Hawkeye (private island and all), he’d definitely have the means to try out different hobbies. Bowling seems like one he could totally get hooked on — it’s just the kind of hobby that fits him, honestly.

I can picture Barney wearing one of these:

Barney usually wears elegant clothes (except for his Trickshot era and his time in All-New Hawkeye), but I can totally picture him wearing funny T-shirts with lame slogans. Sorry, not sorry, but I’m convinced he has that boomer humor and would totally rock these shirts.

As for mini golf? Yeah, I don’t see him having the patience for it. He’d probably think it's ridiculously stupid and boring. And because of that, he would be terrible at it lol.

Fortune Sims are the best - Annabelle immediately rolled wants to skill up for her next promotion, so she popped on her Thinking Cap and jumped onto the golf putter.

Meanwhile, Bunty was actually doing a half-decent job at autonomously socialising with her new acquaintance.

Eventually dinner time rolled around and Annabelle had to serve up a whole new plate of spaghetti so she could call everyone to the meal because all of the grilled cheese in the fridge had been stored as single plates and her husband and kids were apparently incapable of grabbing one.

Why does this feel like I'm describing the plight of women everywhere? 😂

[jodilin65]

LOL, the honker unfriended me over a comment I made on a political video he shared. Then I took it a step further and blocked the bastard. Never really liked him anyway. Never seemed to have much in common. I don't know if he misunderstood my comment or I misunderstood the video, but either way, I don't give a shit—as long as he doesn't tangle with me. Whether he likes it or not, I'm from here. He isn't. I also don't give a shit if he finds or is aware of this blog since I have pretty much ended up sharing it with a lot of people on Facebook by now.

I heard about five bangs of a hammer and thought, oh, here we go, it's time to get obnoxious because he doesn't like me. But then I realized the golf cart was gone, so it was probably coming from Ray's place. I'm sure he'll still be obnoxious anyway because that's what he does regardless, and I can tell he's not done with his projects. Some days he's out all day and I don't even know he exists. Other days he's puttering about.

Today is Andy's birthday. He's 64. We're both getting old yet have many years left. Well, he may live another 20 or more years, but I don't expect to live the 25 more years I likely would if I didn't go when Tom goes. While women tend to make it to their mid-to-late 80s and guys tend to make it to their early-to-mid 80s these days, I'm thinking I'm going sometime in my 70s.

Anyway, although a part of me will always love Andy and miss some aspects of our friendship—and cherish the funny memories we both have—I'm still not open to the stupidity and toxicity that goes with being his friend. I don't want to be called a liar or an “excuse queen” by someone who should know me better, just because I try to explain something to them that they don't get or like. I don't want to have to tell him the same things over and over again because years of marijuana fucked with his brain cells. I don't want to deal with the false assumptions and false truths. I don't want to feel like I always have to defend myself and correct him where I'm concerned.

Three times I told him not to tell anybody we moved, yet he did. Damaged brain cells or not, I still see that as a betrayal. It shows I can't trust him. So yeah, there is a little bit of guilt, but mostly, I feel proud of myself—especially when it comes to Tammy—for refusing to fall for the same old cycle of bullshit yet again. I just wish I'd smartened up two or three cycles ago.

Mean or selfish or not, I hate people in general. I am just so not a people person. Tom, who is more antisocial than me, says he just doesn't get people and that they're completely alien to him. I don't get a lot of people's shit either. At the same time, I am able to see things from their sometimes-twisted point of view. I value my current friends, but I'm definitely not open to new ones—even if that means, yes, I'm going to die alone no matter how or when I go unless I was surprised with getting something while Tom’s still alive, which I don't see at this point despite having more health issues than he does.

Not everyone who walks the planet is stupid, evil, phony, dishonest, or selfish, but I think the vast majority of people are. Some forms of selfishness are actually reasonable and even healthy. I'm talking about the ones who are selfish at the expense of others. Hell, there are some people willing to pay to see people tortured and killed on the dark web. It is truly chilling to know that there are some people out there who get off on such sadistic shit. Could be your neighbor, a co-worker, or anyone you think is "normal."

The only one I really miss—even if they weren't perfect any more than I am—is Aly. Sometimes I miss Nane, but I'll never miss anyone as much as I miss Aly. Tom and I were talking the other day, and while he says he doesn't believe there's any supreme being involved in our lives, he does think there's some form of an afterlife but doesn't know what it is. His reasoning for this is that the conscience and the mind seem to go beyond the scope of the brain, and it's hard for him to believe that it all comes to an end just because it one day no longer has the chemical process connecting it—sort of like a radio turned off. You don't hear the music, but the signal is still there.

Maybe we really do change forms somehow. I just hope that if she is out there somewhere continuing on, it's in a much better way. The question is, where did it all begin? Some people believe that no matter is created or destroyed. I can see it not being destroyed, but it had to have originated somewhere at some point, right?

Women's Golf Club Sets: Best Picks for Beginners & Intermediate Players

Golf is an enjoyable sport that offers many benefits, from fitness to mental sharpness. Whether you're just starting or looking to take your game to the next level, finding the right women's golf club set is essential. A well-rounded set of clubs tailored to your needs can make all the difference on the course. In this guide, we’ll explore the best golf clubs for women, focusing on beginner and intermediate players. We’ll also cover essential golf accessories, from golf shoes to golf GPS, golf watches, golf trolleys, to ensure you’re fully equipped.

The Basics of a Women's Golf Club Set

A ladies golf club set typically includes all the essential clubs a golfer needs to play comfortably, including a driver, irons, fairway wood, and a putter. These sets are often designed with lighter weights and shorter shafts to accommodate the unique physical characteristics of female players. In addition to clubs, there are many accessories that can enhance your game, such as golf bags, golf gloves, and golf balls. Here's what to look for when building your set.

1. Golf Drivers: Power and Distance

The golf driver is one of the most important clubs in any set. It is used primarily for long-distance shots off the tee. For beginner and intermediate female golfers, a ladies golf driver with a larger head can offer more forgiveness, helping you hit straighter and longer shots. Callaway golf clubs and TaylorMade golf clubs are top brands known for producing quality drivers designed specifically for women. Look for clubs with adjustable loft options for versatility on different courses.

Best Picks:

Callaway Golf Women's Big Bertha Driver: Offers excellent distance and forgiveness for women.

TaylorMade SIM2 Max Women's Driver: Known for its stability and distance, it’s perfect for beginners and intermediates alike.

2. Irons: Accuracy and Control

Irons are essential for approach shots and are often used for mid-range distances. Women's irons are usually designed with lighter shafts and more flexible heads. This helps golfers generate more speed and accuracy with each swing. The ladies irons in a set generally range from 4 to 9, with the 7 and 8 irons being the most common for approach shots.

Best Picks:

Wilson Golf Women's Profile SGI Irons: Known for their lightweight design and forgiving features.

Titleist Women's T300 Irons: Excellent for players seeking consistency and precision.

3. Fairway Woods: Versatile and Useful

Fairway woods are used for longer shots, typically off the tee or from the fairway. They are highly versatile, and a ladies fairway wood is a great addition to any set. These clubs help you hit the ball farther with less effort. Choose a fairway wood with a larger face for more forgiveness and easier ball contact.

Best Picks:

Callaway Golf Women's Epic Flash Fairway Wood: Known for its impressive ball speed and stability.

TaylorMade Women's M6 Fairway Wood: Offers excellent distance with a forgiving face.

4. Hybrids: The Best of Both Worlds

Hybrid clubs combine the benefits of irons and fairway woods, making them an essential part of a beginner or intermediate player's set. A ladies hybrid club typically has a higher loft and is easier to hit than an iron, offering more control and forgiveness. They are excellent for tackling tricky lies and long approach shots.

Best Picks:

TaylorMade Women's Kalea Hybrid: A forgiving hybrid with a lightweight design.

Callaway Golf Women's Rogue Hybrid: Offers a great balance of distance and accuracy.

5. The Putter: Precision at the Green

The putter is the most crucial club when it comes to sinking the ball into the hole. Women’s putters are often designed to be lightweight and balanced for smoother putting strokes. Look for a ladies putter that fits your grip and stance. A mallet putter is ideal for those seeking forgiveness, while a blade putter offers a more traditional feel.

Best Picks:

Odyssey Women's White Hot Pro Putter: Known for its precision and consistency.

TaylorMade Women's Spider Mini Putter: Offers excellent stability and feel for beginners.

6. Golf Bags: Convenience and Style

A golf bag is essential for carrying your clubs and accessories around the course. Look for one that suits your needs—whether it's a lightweight golf trolley bag or a more traditional golf stand bag. Women's golf bags come in various styles and sizes, with plenty of compartments for golf accessories, golf towels, and golf mats.

Best Picks:

Sun Mountain Women's 3.5 LS Golf Stand Bag: Lightweight and durable.

Callaway Golf Women's Fairway 14 Stand Bag: Offers excellent organization and plenty of storage.

7. Golf Shoes: Comfort and Performance

Comfortable ladies shoes are vital for long days on the course. Women’s golf shoes come in both spiked and spikeless versions. Ladies spiked golf shoes provide better traction, while ladies spikeless golf shoes are more comfortable for walking. Choose shoes that are waterproof to keep your feet dry in all weather conditions.

Best Picks:

FootJoy Women's Pro/SL Golf Shoes: Known for their comfort and support.

Nike Women's Air Zoom Victory Tour Golf Shoes: A stylish option that delivers excellent performance.

8. Golf Gloves: Grip and Comfort

A golf glove is essential for improving grip and preventing blisters. Women's golf gloves are designed to fit comfortably, allowing you to maintain control of your ladies golf clubs without sacrificing feel. Look for ladies gloves made from breathable materials like leather for durability and comfort.

Best Picks:

Callaway Women's Weather Spann Golf Glove: Offers great grip and flexibility.

TaylorMade Women's Tour Preferred Glove: Provides a sleek design and excellent performance.

9. Golf Balls: Distance and Control

Selecting the right golf balls is key to improving your game. Women’s golf balls are generally designed to offer a softer feel and more distance on impact. Popular brands like Titleist golf balls and Callaway golf balls have specific models aimed at female players, offering more control and consistency in flight.

Best Picks:

Titleist Pro V1 Women's Golf Balls: Designed for distance and control.

Callaway Supersoft Women's Golf Balls: Soft feel and great for beginner players.

10. Essential Golf Accessories

There are several golf accessories that make playing more enjoyable and convenient. A golf GPS watch helps you track distances on the course, while a golf ball retriever ensures you don’t lose your ball in water hazards. Other accessories like golf towels, golf shoe bags, and golf mats also come in handy.

Best Picks:

Garmin Approach S10 Golf GPS Watch: A simple, easy-to-use GPS watch.

Callaway Golf Ball Retriever: Compact and easy to use, ensuring you get your ball back.

10 Essential Golf Tips for Beginner Women Golfers - The Do's and Don'ts of Choosing Golf Clubs

Golf has increasingly become a popular sport amongst women, with more and more women taking up the sport every year. Whether it's the allure of the green, the challenge of the game, or the opportunity for socialization, golf provides an engaging experience for all. For beginner women golfers, one of the first pivotal steps on this exciting journey is choosing the right golf clubs. This decision can significantly influence your game and enjoyment, making it essential to get it right from the start.

In this article, we’ll guide you through the essentials of selecting the perfect golf clubs for beginner women golfers. From understanding the basics to maintenance and care, we’ve got you covered.

Understanding the Basics of Golf Clubs

When venturing into selecting golf clubs, it's crucial for beginner women golfers to grasp the fundamentals. Golf clubs are not one-size-fits-all; their variety caters to different aspects of the game, including drivers for long tee shots, irons for various distances, wedges for short game precision, and putters for the green. Each type serves a unique purpose and choosing the right combination can significantly impact your performance on the course. Additionally, the club's shaft flex, weight, and length can influence swing mechanics and ball trajectory, making it vital to select clubs that match your physical attributes and skill level.

Do’s and Don’ts of Choosing Golf Clubs

Read more information at: How to choose golf clubs for women beginners

Do:

Consult with a Professional: Before making any purchase, it's advisable to consult with a golf professional or a qualified club fitter. They can assess your swing, height, strength, and playing style to recommend clubs that will complement your game.

Test Before You Buy: Many golf shops offer demo days or fitting sessions. Take advantage of these opportunities to swing different clubs and feel which ones suit you best.

Don't:

Ignore Club Length: Playing with clubs that are too long or too short can adversely affect your swing mechanics and overall performance. Ensure the clubs you choose are properly sized for your height and arm length.

Overlook the Importance of Grip Size: The grip is your only contact point with the club. Grips that are too large or too small can hinder your ability to control the club during your swing. Select a grip size that feels comfortable and allows for proper hand placement.

Finding the Right Fit Golf Clubs 

Choosing the right golf clubs is a critical element of maximizing your potential on the course. Here's a deeper look into the do's and don'ts to consider when selecting your clubs.

Do:

Research on Club Types: Understand the specific roles of different clubs in your bag. For example, woods are designed for long-distance shots from the tee or fairway, while irons are used for a variety of shots from different distances, focusing on precision. Wedges offer high precision and control in short-distance shots, particularly near the green. Knowing the purpose of each can help you make informed decisions.

Consider Your Skill Level: Your choice of clubs should reflect your experience and skill level. Beginners might benefit from clubs that offer more forgiveness on off-centre hits, whereas experienced golfers might prefer clubs that offer more control and the ability to shape shots.

Don't:

Neglect Shaft Options: The rigidity of the club's shaft, known as "flex", can have a significant impact on your shot. Shafts that are too stiff or too flexible for your swing speed can lead to problems with accuracy, distance, and trajectory. It's crucial to select a shaft that matches your swing speed and style.

Forget About Club Weight and Balance: The weight and balance of a club can profoundly influence your swing. Some golfers may prefer a heavier club that helps increase swing speed, while others find better control with a lighter club. A properly balanced club can improve both the comfort and accuracy of your shots.

Selecting the right golf clubs involves a mix of understanding your own game, acknowledging where you want to improve, and knowing the technical aspects of golf equipment. It's a process that combines personal preference with practical considerations, aimed at enhancing your enjoyment and performance on the course.

Tips For Maintaining and Caring For Golf Clubs

Do:

Regularly Clean Your Clubs: Keeping your clubs clean is not just about aesthetics; it's crucial for maintaining their performance. Dirt and debris can affect the spin, flight, and accuracy of your shots. After every round or practice session, use a soft brush and mild soap to clean the heads, shafts, and grips of your clubs, ensuring they are in optimal condition for your next game.

Check for Wear and Tear: Regular inspection of your clubs can help you identify signs of wear and tear that could impact your game. Pay special attention to the grips, as worn-out grips can lead to a loss of control and accuracy. Similarly, inspect the club heads for any damage that might affect your shots' trajectory and distance.

Store Your Clubs Properly: Correct storage of your golf clubs can significantly extend their life. Avoid leaving them in extreme conditions, such as the hot trunk of a car, as this can warp the shafts and damage the clubs. Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a golf bag that keeps them organized and protected.

Don't:

Ignore the Importance of Grip Size and Material: The right grip size and material can drastically improve your feel and control over the club. Playing with grips that are too large or too small for your hands can hinder your ability to perform your best. Additionally, the material of the grip (e.g., rubber, corded, or wrap) can affect your comfort and the club's performance in different weather conditions.

Overlook the Need for Professional Fitting: Even with a good understanding of what you need, a professional fitting can fine-tune your choices to your exact swing characteristics. A professional can analyze your swing speed, style, and preferences to recommend the best clubs for your game, adjusting the length, lie angle, and shaft flex to suit your specifics.

Neglect to Update Your Set as Your Game Evolves: Your golf game will change over time as you develop skills and preferences. What worked for you as a beginner might not serve you well as you improve. Be open to updating your clubs to match your evolving game, whether it means adding specialized clubs, such as different wedges or a hybrid, or changing your entire set to better match your current skill level.

By focusing on both the maintenance and care of your golf clubs, as well as being mindful of equipment choices and updates, you can ensure your gear supports your performance and love of the game for years to come.

Conclusion

Choosing the right golf clubs as a beginner woman golfer is a critical step toward refining your game and enhancing your golfing experience. By understanding the basics, seeking personalized fitting, and maintaining your clubs well, you can set the stage for success on the golf course. We encourage all beginner women golfers to take control of their club selection process and continuously explore methods to improve their game.

Unveiling the Champions: A Deep Dive into Golf Club Market Share (2024)

The golf club market swings with power and precision, shaped by iconic brands and a constant pursuit of innovation. But who are the major players dominating the fairways? Let's delve into the fascinating world of golf club market share by brand and region, using 2024 estimates to paint a clear picture.

The Titans Tee Off: Global Market Share Leaders

The "Big Three" continue to hold a dominant position in the global market:

Callaway Golf: Estimated to hold around 25% of the global market share, Callaway remains a leader in innovation and caters to a wide range of golfers.

TaylorMade Golf: Hot on Callaway's heels with roughly 22% of the market, TaylorMade is known for pushing club design boundaries and offering tour-level performance.

Titleist (Acushnet Holdings Corp.): This premium brand occupies an estimated 18% of the market share. Titleist focuses on high-performance equipment and boasts a loyal following among serious golfers.

These established giants have built their empires on:

Decades of Experience: Their long-standing reputation for quality and innovation creates a sense of trust and brand loyalty amongst golfers.

Extensive Product Lines: From drivers to wedges and putters, they offer a broad spectrum of options for all skill levels and budgets.

Tour Player Endorsements: Sponsoring professional golfers showcases their equipment's capabilities and influences consumer choices.

Regional Variations: A Look Beyond the Majors

While the "Big Three" dominate globally, regional preferences play a significant role:

North America: The traditional powerhouses (Callaway, TaylorMade, Titleist) reign supreme, but niche brands like Cobra Golf and PING enjoy strong followings.

Europe: European brands like Srixon (Japan, owned by Sumitomo Rubber Industries) and Mizuno (Japan) have a larger market share compared to other regions.

Asia Pacific: The market is witnessing significant growth, with Japanese brands like Srixon and Yonex gaining traction alongside established global names.

These regional variations can be attributed to factors like:

Brand Legacy: Local brands with strong historical roots may have a loyal following within their respective regions.

Cultural Preferences: Playing styles and preferences can differ across regions, influencing brand choices.

Distribution Networks: Strong regional distribution networks can give certain brands a competitive edge in specific markets.

Emerging Contenders and Market Shifts

The golf club market isn't static. Here are some key trends shaping the future landscape:

Direct-to-Consumer Growth: Online retailers and brand-owned websites are offering convenience and competitive prices, challenging traditional brick-and-mortar stores.

Focus on Fitting: Custom fitting is becoming increasingly important as golfers seek clubs perfectly matched to their swing mechanics.

Technological Advancements: New materials, innovative designs, and data-driven club development are pushing the boundaries of performance.

Niche Market Focus: Brands catering to specific demographics, like women's clubs or game-improvement options, are attracting loyal customers.

Finding Your Perfect Match: Beyond Market Share

While golf club market share provides valuable insights, the best brand for you depends on your individual needs. Here are some tips for choosing the right clubs:

Consider Your Skill Level: Beginner, intermediate, or advanced golfers will have different equipment requirements.

Get Fitted: A proper fitting by a qualified professional can significantly improve your game and club performance.

Research and Compare: Explore different brands and models within your budget to find the ideal fit for your swing and preferences.

The golf club market offers a diverse and ever-evolving landscape. So, take aim at the green, armed with knowledge and a swing that matches your chosen brand. Remember, the perfect clubs are the ones that help you unlock your golfing potential!

Costco Kirkland Golf Clubs Irons: Reviews and Prices

Golf enthusiasts seeking quality equipment without breaking the bank will find an exceptional option in Costco's Kirkland Signature golf clubs. These clubs, known for their affordability and solid construction, cater to a diverse range of players, including men, women, and juniors. Offering a variety of irons, wedges, drivers, putters, and more, Kirkland golf clubs are suitable for both left and right-handed players, with options in shaft flexes and club types to enhance any golfer's game.

Why Kirkland Golf Clubs Stand Out

Affordability and Value

The most striking feature of Kirkland Signature golf clubs is their affordability. Priced significantly lower than many premium brands, they make golfing accessible to a wider audience without compromising quality.

Quality and Performance

Despite their lower price point, these clubs don't skimp on quality. They often incorporate advanced technologies like milled face technology in wedges and high-performance shafts, which contribute to an effective and comfortable golfing experience.

Wide Range of Options

Kirkland offers a diverse range of club types, ensuring that golfers of all styles and preferences can find something suitable. Whether you need a forgiving iron or a precise wedge, Kirkland has an option for you.

Availability and Accessibility

As a Costco brand, Kirkland golf clubs are widely available at Costco stores and online. The ease of purchase, coupled with Costco's customer-friendly return policies, makes the shopping experience hassle-free and reassuring.

Innovations and Design Features

Kirkland clubs often feature designs typically found in higher-priced clubs, such as adjustable drivers and milled face technology. These innovations are particularly noteworthy given the clubs' lower price point.

Limited Editions and Quick Sell-Outs

Some Kirkland Signature golf clubs, like their iron sets, are released as limited editions and often sell out quickly, indicating their popularity and high demand among golfers.

Manufacturer and Brand Reputation

While the specific manufacturers of Kirkland golf clubs are not publicly disclosed, the brand is recognized for providing quality and value in its products, including golf equipment.

Kirkland Golf Club Review: A Closer Look

The Kirkland Signature 7-piece Players Iron Set, which includes clubs from 4-iron through 9-iron, along with a pitching wedge, has particularly caught the attention of the golfing community. These clubs, featuring True Temper Elevate 115 Steel Shafts and Lamkin Crossline 360 Grips, are designed for right-handed players. Priced at $499.99, they are a steal compared to similar sets from other brands.

Despite being often out of stock due to high demand, these clubs are also available on secondary markets like eBay, reflecting their popularity. While specific reviews are scarce, the overall market reception suggests that consumers find tremendous value in these clubs.

In Summary

Kirkland golf clubs represent a blend of affordability, quality, and performance. Ideal for golfers who seek high-quality equipment without the premium price tag, their popularity and effectiveness on the golf course are clear indicators of their value. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced golfer, Kirkland golf clubs from Costco are worth considering for your next set of clubs.

Cobra Air-X Hybrids and Irons

The new Air-X Hybrids and Irons from Cobra Golf are the lightest the company has ever produced, with both women’s and men’s models available. Complementing the Air-X metalwoods that were announced at the same time, the hybrids and irons of the family are super lightweight to promote faster swing speeds, producing more distance and more spin for shot control. Plus, since slicing is often a problem for less accomplished players that Cobra has targeted to play these clubs, Air-X hybrids, and irons have a significant amount of hosel offset with weighting towards the heel. Both features tend to correct the dreaded left-to-right ball flight of a slice. As they have done previously, Cobra has put the Air-X family clubs together in package sets. For women a cart bag, 15° Driver, 3W, 5W, 5H, 6i-PW, SW and mallet putter are in the set and for men a cart bag, 11.5° driver, 3W, 4H, 5H, 6i-PW, SW and a blade putter. Either is priced at $1,499, a considerable savings compared to purchasing the clubs individually and more good news, the sets are the same price as the 2021 Air-X. Cobra Air-X - Engineered to be ultra-lightweight - unlock your ability to generate faster clubhead speeds and discover the true potential of your power.
