So I go to the local thrift store every other week to see if they have some rare club or something that is of value, but they never do! Just as expected, nothing highly valuable and I decided to hell with it and just buy a random set of clubs. The a Ben Hogan Persimmon driver & 3 wood, a cobra baffler 7 persimmon wood, a Haig Ultra Walter Hagen 2 iron, Lynx Master Model 4-9, a Northwestern Shot Saver Chipper, and a Spalding Autograph Putter. I went to the golf course, put my FJ's on and took out my bag and thought: "Hell! I am going to play 9 holes with that set." So I dumped my regular starting 14 into my car and put these old school clubs in my bag. I brought my oldies up to the clubhouse to check in for a tee time and all the regular drunkards were laughing when they saw what I have in my bag, but I didn't care one bit! I went to the first tee and pulled out the driver, man it felt sooooo good but went about 210 and then went to par it and so on. For that nine I shot a 39 with them I was thoroughly pleased on how well I played with these clubs but could've been a lot better if  it had a wedge in the set after the first hole i was hitting the driver 230-250 and kept coming to about 110 or so so I had to use a choked up 9 so I couldn't really get the exact yardage I needed. I was so surprised on how nice the clubs felt! I honestly thought that they were going to feel like rocks! No, no they didn't the lynxs felt better than my forged adams, the driver felt a lot better than my cobra, and the spalding autograph felt better than my odyssey. I think it shows that equipment is basically staying the same just the loft and the shaft of the clubs are changing. Since I was born in the era where Tiger finally made him for him self I thought these clubs were going to absolutely suck! Man, they sure did prove me wrong!

Rest In Peace my son. I will miss you. 5/12/94-1/29/13 Future Tour Pro Committed suicide thanks to the sand trap. Go to hell to all of you.
