I'm just saying...

[Eidolon]

Yeah dude! Those are chick magnets as well. Way better than a bag of rusty ol' Macgregors. Just sayin'.

[jonnygrouville]

Ah yes. I have always been the other end of the spectrum, fuming when I am shaking hands and reaching into my pocket having hit every green, paying over hard earned queen's heads to someone who hasn't hit one.

Even though I am a MacGregor fan, my interest wanes around about 1970, so not going to argue if you think the early '70s Hogans were better than anything else from this era. Best irons of all time? Hmmm. Insanely subjective, impossible argument, but when did this ever stop the interweb?

Pari passu, what am I going to get from some Hogans set up perfectly for me beyond any other iron ever made? Not sure what sort of argument it would take to have me forking out for a set, I am afraid. But that is one less person in the world competing for these clubs!

Thanks Geoff. You know full well that posting that is like driving past a Weight-watchers meeting in an ice-cream van.

...and given half a chance, I'd be stuffing my face with that lot.

Actually,
The Ladies call me Mr. Wilson, not because of the clubs I play, but because I am getting as bald as the "soccer ball" in the movie "Castaway."
Ain't no grass growing.

I was a Marine. We slept outdoors. On the ground. Just sayin'. :-)

Them big grey boats all had good beds and indoor plumbing, plus good hot chow. Sleeping outside is just dumb. Just saying.

Nothing says "sexy beast" like pulling up in your old pickup, grabbing the old bag full of old clubs out of the back, walking to the first tee in well worn shoes, scratching a two day old growth of stubble and spitting tobacco laced saliva just before nutting your opening drive, without a practice swing.

...and then clutching your lower back as you realise you've just popped a disc....again!

Especially if you were posted to a submarine...

I was gonna not go there,

But,

The only seagoing vessels called "boats" in the US Navy are submarines,

Everything else,

But,

No one branch could do their job effectively if it wasn't for the others,

So,

Thank you to all that served.

What ever transport got you to your place on the planet,( boats, ships, vehicles with camo paint, or just std. Issue combat boots) I always tip my hat to a fellow vet! Well done and thanks for the effort.

........middle-aged men. How far off the mark am I?
[/quote]

Bunch of the above that claim their HC is a 4, but in reality, you can 3x this and may closer to the truth.

Funny how in the history of forever on WRX, never have seen a pic of a hdcp card.

But their shafts are always stiff and 2 irons are always long. Myself, just try to make due with a adequate short game.
[/quote]

LOL the short game is where it is at. That was always my key.
[/quote]


Reminds me.... My first ever sub-80 round was a 79 on a par 73 course (five par 5 holes, I three putted the last one for par) in which I hit a whopping 4 GIR. Short game helped a bit that day.

My father served both Army and Navy, the latter first; he enlisted as a 17 year old, lying about his age. Two years later, gets out, Korean War starts, he enlists in the Army.

Not having served myself, I'm never quite sure which I should be cheering for. Maybe both. LOL

As for the clubs... it's obvious it's neither Hogans, nor MacGregors, but Ram Tour Grinds. They are the gifts from the golf gods, taken from us too soon....

My brother-in-law was on a boat (nuke) during his stint in the Navy. He was an officer so I asked him if he had a window in his quarters. Me, I was just a grunt (0311).

[quote name='Eidolon' timestamp='1449286685' post='12682704']If you are not playing with 1971 Bounce Sole or 1972 Apex Hogan irons, you are playing with inferior equipment. Just my opinion and open to debate, but myself and '53 Precision play with these irons and we are damn good, just ask us! Yes I am better looking than he is, but he has way more children than I, so it seems girls like him best, but I do have to give him strokes in the matches. You can value that as you deem necessary. I just wanted to chat with ya'll and now I have. I love you guys, have a good day! mike[/quote]
Hahaha right to the point!!!
Thoughts on the 69 bounce soles I have these with s300 i reshafted. I also use hogan 99 apex mb I rotate these beasts great irons that cost me basically my own elbow grease to get into game shape

Those Ram TG's a beautiful, but I can't hit them to save my life
