I can tell you something that Patty Berg Wilson wedge will hit and feel as good as any 58 Staff or JP

[@_the_crook]

couple years ago I found a Patty Berg Staff SW, mint condition. has the light blue ferrule and grip. Wilson flag cap end.

overall length is a bit shorter than the men's version. a wonderful design.

Stu - thought I was going to free up to come your way, but now it doesn't look like it will happen any time soon. Will let you know.

> The A sight line was made in the 40s up to 53 or so--- I have the reproduction one made in the 80s when the PGA golf company acquired the Tommy Armour and Ironmaster name rights--- I do not know the details on that deal I do know Macgregor continued to produce the Ironmaster and Ironmaster IM 5 without the Armour signature well into the 70s. Heck any year Ironmaster putter is worth more than $1 in any shape or form. The one Augie has is the pyratone green shafted one and IMHO has exceptional feel.

My "A" sight line is not the sweet spot - I actually have to line the ball up with the outside of the ball just inside the "A", kind of like getting it set up really on the heel of the face, but such a good roll & feel.

 

Stu, I'll bring it with me, along with my Shamrock 101. But, I'll also be bringing them home with me.

Latest find at goodwill. A quick paint job and it turned out ok. Not bad for a buck.

I found similar, but mine cost me two!

I got a set of Snake Eyes Ultimate Design irons (2 through SW) for $19.99 at PIA yesterday.

 

I also traded in four clubs I got from Goodwill and used the credit to buy a set of VR Forged (4-PW) for $5.00.

[dcopp7]

Good grief Joe!!!

 

I picked up a Burner Titanium 3 wood with Laker UST shaft for $3, a TPM12 putter for $1.50, and a Slotline brass putter for $1.99 @ Salvation Army this AM.

Set of KZG muscle backs forged for $69.9 I need get some stuff together and go back for em

[@_the_crook]

an old style Bennington tu-tone staff bag. pebbled finish. even has a shoe pocket. no logos.

might have to stay. great for a display set. _if a person had such things_...........

Today's score at GW. Full set 3 thru L wedge of Kenneth Smith KS2000 oversize irons with matching woods and a nice Nike cart bag. Total price - $22. The 3&5 wood are really nice, but the driver is the small head (old model), both the irons and FW woods look brand new. If they were played, it was only once or twice. Since the company folded in 2004, I'm assuming that the KS2000, is the year of this model.

those look like GolfSmith forgings ^^^

[pahogan]

2 sets of Haig Ultras in the lot I bought

Anyone know anything about these Palmer's

Did GolfSmith take over production of KS clubs?

Yeah, they look very similar, but there are lots of other models that look just like them. Apparently it was a kind of standard design for that time period. I was just curious, because KS irons were advertised as hand made and these I doubt are hand made.

The Palmer clubs came out about 1985 (mid eighties). The company was under the "Pro-Group" umbrella at the time and this was an attempt to capture some of the game improvement iron market that was just starting to gather steam thanks to the Ping Eye 2. It was meant to copy some of the design concepts of the Hogan Radial and appeal to better players. Back then, there was some pushback from better players about playing clubs that were "ugly" (investment cast 17-4 steel). But clubs like this and the Radial were meant to appeal to those players with chrome and less offset but still allow for some game improvement qualities with the added weight on the sole of the club. It never became a real popular club but it was a very good club. I think it was sold in proshops only. They also made a real shallow face blade at the same time called the Peerless. A couple years later they came up with the Axiom and then Axiom II and that was the company's most popular game improvement iron.

> Yup, I've got headcovers from our lost and found too. I'm often not even worried about a brand match-up, just happy if the colourway suits the rest of the bag. Which reminds me, I'm off to the course shortly so I'll have a look through the box as I'm short a cover or two presently.

Today I was browsing through a thrift shop down by the beach not known for golf offerings but in a scruffy vinyl bag I noticed a Slazenger Nicklaus Golden Bear #3 wood in "reasonable" condition, and on further checking there was a #5 wood there as well. Spent $10 for both and took them back home for a cleanup. The reason I bought them is because I already have the #4 in my irregular bag so I now have the matching set 3 4 5. They are laminates rather than persimmon but they did clean up well with a bit of work with cutting paste and detergent. The grips are stuffed, cracked, but I can either replace them or just leave them as is. Shafts and heads are good. They will go into my MacGregor vintage bag and I will give them a run next time out on the practice range. Cheers

The one on left looks like the model the Crenshaw grind was based on.
