I’m begging... please help me!


Recommended Posts

If I had a nickel for every minute I spent searching for old pictures of witb I would be very wealthy. Either I’m an idiot or just not good searching the web but I have tried tirelessly to find some 80s or 90s witb photos or even just info!! Nothing!!! I have basically found nothing and I’m getting so discouraged. I will be forever grateful if some kind soul can help point me in the right direction. I can’t be the only one looking for this info, I get great joy looking at what players from the past had in thier bags. I remember golf digest in the 90s when I was a kid had a section towards the end that showed a pro and his bag with the clubs and specs. How I wish I would’ve kept them all.. i specifically remember one with Payne Stewart and have searched relentlessly for it only to come up empty so I’m reaching out... can anyone help me out? Thank you so much if you can, it really means a great deal to me.

I appreciate the help.. I’ve tried searching witb in classic forum, guess I wasn’t patient enough to find what I was looking for but there sure is a lot to sift through. I guess I’ll have to track down some old gold digest catalogs, you’d just think in the age of information this stuff would be readily available. I was reading an article about this woman who had the job of making sure the pros were playing what they were getting paid to play and had to go around taking notes on what everyone had in their bags at each event, if a person could just find those archives!! Lol... gotta have dreams.

Tour Pros are generally ho'ing just as much as us regular schmoes. There maybe old-timers (or even current guys) who always have the same stamping on their clubs from year to year, but I can almost guarantee they where also always "tweaking" to find the perfect shafts/heads. Look at how many guys use a "newish" driver head with a tried and true shaft, then slap the latest and greatest headcover on it for T.V. to sell product.

Some a lot more than us regular schmoes. I forget who, but they toured a pros house and he had a whole room dedicated to ho-ing. Must have been at least 20 sets of clubs in there.

Yeah the article I read was an old one but I was researching what kind clubs the shark used during his prime because I know he had the cobra sponsor but wasn’t sure about which he would’ve played since most of thier stuff was oversized cavity or gravity back excuse me... but yeah just thought he’d prefer blades. It said he had MacGregors with a cobra stamp which actually didn’t surprise me too much. Lastly I gotta say the very first cobra blades are pretty nice lookin clubs it’s too bad they’re nearly impossible to find.

He may have had more, but the 20 sets were in bags in each lived in its own cubbie in the "trophy" room.

 

I'll have to show this to my wife. I only have 3 sets of irons.
