My gear on golfplanet.net
Golf cannot exist apart from the nuts and bolts that enable you to play—which is why good gear is so important to any golfer. A golfer is not much of anything on the course apart from his/her favorite driver or putter, so we added a new section to the free profiles on golfplanet.net, a MyGear section. This new section on Golfplanet.net has provided a way for any golfer to display their favorite clubs and accessories; you can upload pictures, and include descriptions of each item.
