Is there a secret handshake for this???
Can't believe I did it but I did. Just 9 months ago I was given the task of setting up a charity golf event for work. Now I've been a very casual golfer for 11 years and even went probably a good 4-5 of those years without playing. But I was this event as a chance to get out of the office and to do something fun for a good cause rather than just boring old work.

So of course I decide that I should go practice golf too since I will be running this thing as I didn't want to embarrass myself. So I head out to the course with my old Diawa irons that I bought used 11 years ago and some old woods, wedges and a putter. The entire piece-meal set couldn't have cost me more than $350. First practice round in 4-5 years, back to back quadruple bogeys along with 2 errant teeshots and I slam my 3 wood down and snap the shaft (didn't think I slammed it that hard). So then the replacement quest began...

It started off simple with a new burner 3 wood. Since then, I've bought two sets of wedges, two putters, a few hybrids, 3 Drivers and the burner 3 wood got kicked to the curb for a TEE CB2 3 wood. And then...I went into the clubfitter thinking M57s, got interested in KZGs and go back a few weeks later and end up getting fitted for Muiras. I can't believe I just dropped this much the last few months but damn golf shopping at this age is much better than being a broke college undergrad. Up next...likely a custom gap wedge from Scratch. Then hopefully I will be set for awhile. I imagine I will still ho some drivers but damn I better be done for awhile. If custom Muiras can't satisfy me, nothing will.

Yes.

Step 1: move hand toward back pocket.

Step 2: reach into back pocket and remove wallet.

Step 3: open wallet and turn it upside-down and shake vigorously until wallet is empty.

Step 4: Moan vigorously while grabbing said pocket and limping off.

Step 5: Pat yourself on the back as you had the sack to spend that on a set of irons.

But on a serious note congratulations on a fine set of irons I too would take the plunge if I could justify it financially as they are among the finest irons around.

I thought they created a forum for this self flagellation?? Import/JDM Equip... It's been so great not to have to constantly read about the great and wonderful OZ (sorry) Miura in this forum since it was created... Just keep repeating------ever since Tiger Woods first picked up a club even as a three year old they have been hand forged by Miura-San. Tiger however always did pass on the wedge-shovels that Miura produces...

 

Start the flame throwers :coolpics:

 

I guess I'm in the club also since I have 5 sets gathering dust on my racks.

LittlePingMan,

 

Last time I remember your setup with ping irons with different colors.

When have you done the transformation?

 

 

SL

 

He has changed irons more than you probably have changed underwear since then :partytime2:

I'm pretty surprised he hasn't already dumped the Miura's by now - must be some sticks these Miura's, to still keep a place in his bag....for now that is :coolpics:

Joining the Miura club huh? Well congratulations in the first place as they are some great looking sticks. But what to do?

 

Well how about incessantly jabbering on this forum about the incredible feel and how anyone who doesnt "get it" is either a peasant or a philistine. Yes Claus I'm thinking of you LOL

 

Gush about the incredible forging processes and mystic grinding that produces such items of deliciousness. And dont forget to note how every tingle down your finger lets you know you havent hit the fabled sweetspot. Talk about butter feel quite a lot.

 

Marvel at how MR Miura still has a work bench set aside for himself at the plant.

 

And of course dont forget the myriad conspiracy theories of how every great player that has ever played EVER has really been playing Miuras.

 

And not fogetting place them on BST and begin a similar process with Epons, On Offs etc etc.

 

Seriously though enjoy the clubs- they look fantastic. :coolpics:

That Aint Billy Bob!!

Welcome to the club.... These have been bagged for three years now, the wedges are proto's.. I will be putting a new set in play this year. Another brand? No, Miura is and will remain my gamers.

 

 

Enjoy your new clubs, they are clubs that are meant to play golf. Play golf and enjoy the game.
