I am a beginner that has just started playing about a month ago. I started playing because my 12 year old son decided that he wanted to play golf. I bought a nice set of clubs from a co-worker. He usually only gets top of the line type stuff (cars,TVs...), so I knew I'd be getting quality equipment and a good price.

Anyway, I love the clubs (cobra irons, Calloway woods), but I'm curious about the putter that came with the set. He does not remember where he got it or what the brand is. The only markings on the putter head have: MGC Mastodon. The shaft is Apollo and the grip is FSG.

I like the putter, but I'd like to know something about it...just because.

Good luck with that. I've never heard of it and I'm not sure anyone else has. If you like it, that's good enough, no?

This link -- http://www.golf-components.com/apgolshaf.html -- tells you a bit about the shaft maker and their history.

The most important piece of info is that your putter must have been made after 1986, so you know its not ancient.

Couldn't come up with anything for MGC Mastodon. But I did find a company called NGC Golf and they make a Condor line of putters and Texas wedge. Perhaps the Mastadon is an extinct model from this company, and the Condor is a newer line. http://www.ngcgolf.com/putters.cfm .

Hope this one piece of the puzzle gets you closer to a complete answer.

Heaven is 630 a.m. Saturday morning, 65 crisp degrees headed toward a comfortable 80, first tee (elevated, of course) . . . and not another worry in the world.

Driver: r7 quad/10.5 degree, stiff shaft

    • I think 95% is more accurate. The leader of our course rating program shot from the hip and said 90%, but I recently read elsewhere that it is more like 95%. So we spend 4 hours or more on a course with a team of 6 to 8 people to figure out the last few rating strokes as to whether they exist or not due to difficulty. I credit this site/forum for getting my interest up in volunteering for my state association. I am marshalling for the US Mid Am qualifier later this morning 15 min from my home. We get shirts, hats, 1/4 zips, a cart with our name on it, a radio, lunch and unlimited snacks all while watching some great golfers. πŸ™‚

    • Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong).
