My one minor anoyance with my golf club is the bag boys always clean my clubs too well. Well, not all my clubs just my Oil Can Vokey wedges. They never have rust on them as the kids do a great job of cleaning them and then DRYING them. I even pulled them from my bag a few times, and let them sit wet so the rust got going, but the next time the bag boys got a hold of them - sans-rust. A couple of times I have thought about saying something, but I feel pretty stupid asking the kid to go out of his way to make sure when they are cleaning clubs to not my wedges too well, but make sure you get my other clubs clean and dry

He must believe the myth that rust promotes spin. Otherwise, why would he want them to rust?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

thats what i was thinking.and to the op rust does not help spin it will reduce spin.

Nothing to do with spin, I just like the way it looks - It gives the club some life as it ever changing.

As for why don't I clean them myself? If all the members did that,the poor bag boy would be out of a job.

hmmmm ok??

Are you a golf club bigot or something?

We are lucky to have more than one finish to choose from, I have always been a fun of the raw or gun metal finishes.

then why not buy them insted of buying oil can and tring to rust it?

because vokeys don't come in raw or gunmetal but they do come in Oil can wich is : "Oil Can finish is cosmetically unique due to the hot oil oxide process that wears off over time, leaving a soft feeling wedge with a

raw finish." I am not sure why vokey just doesn't sell them raw to start off with, maybe because they would not ship or store well. I am sure the next question coming is why vokeys rather then another wedge?

From a former bag boy. We would get griped at because clubs had water spots on them, I had a guy that would drop his bag off and show me his hands, and if they had any black on them he would claim we didnt clean his grips good enough.
I'll never forget this one crusty old goat would make it a point to clean his own clubs right in front of us because "you kids dont know what your doin'".

None of these no playin', 25 handicap chops would ever tip us either. So, on behalf of the bag boy I would say clean your own flippin clubs.

I beleive you. My post may have come out the wrong way. When I said

minor annoyance I should have said that more find it ironic then annoying. The guys that work in the club room are very good to me and in return i try to be good to them.

Touche! I have owned the older raw Vokey's but yet another down side to raw wedges is they wear down faster then chromed wedges. If I could find NOS raw vokey wedges I would be up for it, but used wedges over the net always make me a bit nervous.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By SoCalHacker · Posted

      I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!

      I have played PGA West, at least one or two courses in there, but I am not sure if I've played any of the courses used to host the Hope. I played a course that I think both isn't PGA West and is host to the Hope a few years ago, possibly at a TST outing, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right one. I have played Rancho Park plenty of times (exactly half of my sub-80 rounds were there!) and Wilson/Harding.  Rancho Park might be my favorite golf course among those I've played more than a half dozen times.   Hopefully I'll get a chance to play TPC Scottsdale, maybe this August or September, and at some point I think there was a PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, I should get up there and play those course(s).
