Number one, it wasn't condescending (I know what my intent was, I said it), it was a completely innocent comment based on observations made throughout my 40+ years of playing golf (no, I'm not an 11yo). Number two it wasn't "everyone's" take either. You started a feeding frenzy with "the new guy". Apparently personal opinions are not encouraged here, but rather demonized, and distorted.
I still stand by what I said, furthermore, I don't think going to a forged iron will benefit the majority of high handicappers, that is my opinion based on playing with a variety of players.
