The golf course I used to work for had a bucket of clubs that players have left over the years. The starter told me that I could take any clubs. So I found this club and didn't know if it was a good club or not. Anyone know anything about "Trend"?

Wow tough one! But I may have figured this one out....

Trend was a golf company in the 80s and 90s that made cheap starter sets and what I would consider “gimmicky” golf clubs. For example they made a 60 degree sand wedge called the sandmaster super wedge and it’s hideous. Seriously google it...barf. Not sure what  exactly happened to the company, but I know they eventually become a Product Line for Nexxt Golf which essentially had the same business model, but instead of gimmicky clubs they tailored more to ladies and again beginners. Looks like you can still buy some products at various places online (though most said out of stock).  Nexxt appears to be out of business though. They were a Arizona based business with 40 or less employees. Privately owned. And per LinkedIn, the owner/CEO was a GM for Trend back in the 80s and 90s so that makes complete sense. 

Thats all I got for ya.

Wow. I am always impressed by the speed of responses I get on these random questions. Thanks so much for the information though!

Also that is a hideous club. Not as bad as the Ailen Sport one though.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
