I see Spencer every week. I’ve never been more excited for somebody to be playing in a PGA Tour event. LFG Spencer!

Why did he get rid of his trade irons?

I am quite fond of lead tape and play 10+ year old Callaway irons, I hope no one every mistakes me for a hustler 🤣

 

 

@avg_joseph You did the work for me. I am glad I read the whole thread, because an image of Happy putting like it's a slap shot was what I was about to search for. Thank you sir!

All fun aside, that is an eclectic bag. What's most surprising to me oddly, and if anyone cares, is that he's still using the OG TP Fuji shafts in his woods. They're great shafts, don't get me wrong, but the wear on them lets you know they've come outta that bag and done a ton of work. He was sponsored for some time and had a Tour card while those woods were in use, I'd figure he would have tried out some other shaft offerings at some point. Super cool setup, playing what's working for him.

 

@GolfWRX_Spotted what shafts are in those Staff irons?

Yep those TM Fuji shafts are great--- When the NVS cracked in my V Steel 3 wood I could not find one like it in my stuff. I had a Burner like his I picked up somewhere but did not like for some reason. I pulled the shaft from that burner and put it in the V-Steel works good. I also pulled the same shaft from a burner hybrid and put it into a Adams Pro 20* head I had laying around. In the burner it was a hook machine for me because of the offset. Works good in the Adams though. Yep I buy all those hybrids and FWs cheap for the shafts

Where is his home practice course?

Valley Hi CC…grew up playing against Spence since junior golf as we are the same age…we still get out and play here and there…he was once the best player on tour without a win and I would

argue his game is currently as good, if not better. Guy shoots -5/-6 EVERY week doing Mondays…made 1 single bogey in 36 holes at us open sectionals this year at Olympic…I know a few players on tour and nobody comes close to hitting fewer Mis-hit shots. Every shot comes out of the center of the club-face and there are just no foul balls. Let’s go Spence!

Wish part of this witb was the type of smokes he lights up on the course. Huge part of his game is his chain smoking

LOL did not know this until a few weeks ago. One of my sometimes Shootout partners is from the UK and lives here now---- He was telling me that over there they call cigs "lung darts"--- Back in the day they also referred to them as a word I can not use this day in time because it is offensive to some but I knew that one from back in the day

And do not forget he can light it up with the best of them...

 

Heard a couple of minutes ago on XM PGA show, Spencer was on with with Gravy and the Sleeze. He quit smoking in September 2012 and quit drinking 19 months ago.

Literally the first thing I thought! You nailed it with the comparison pic, haha! 

[Esco9]

He’s so nice, serious game, serious lungs cause he chain smokes like I’ve never seen

 So this evidently actually came up in an interview he was doing while @pga43 was taking this picture...

If it works then it works nothing wrong with that

He practices out of a few clubs and courses in his hometown. I know his dad. Great instructor with past Tour experience.

When I last spoke to him, he had some TaylorMade 750 irons in. He’s had the Wilson’s in the bag before. Love to see him on staff with someone soon.

I wasn't knocking it at all, the resemblance is just so uncanny...

Oh I know that and I agree it is uncanny and outside the box so thus my comment

I had wondered back in 2004 when I first saw the Hammy putter, who would be the first tour player to use it.  Unless I've missed somebody else, it took about 18 years 😮

Sacramento area?

[JDTex]

Love how casual he is in the video. "well the first day I used it I made 11 birdies", no big deal!

Andrew did the interview with Spencer and the video was a collaboration between Goldwrx.com and PGATour.com per our agreement.  We're waiting for the post production video so we can post it on our Instagram, ITikTok and YouTube channel.

I would love to see more older model equipment.  Too bad there is so much money thrown around to players, imagine if there was no staff bags allowed and no equipment contracts.....

[postfold]

Pretty sure I have a HammY in the closet somewhere, may have to go look.

Easily the best bag Ive seen in a very long time...

[WristySwing]

If this beauty cracks a top 10 this week there's going to be a run on Winn and Superstroke split grips.  All joking aside, this has to be one of the most gangster bags I have ever seen from a PGA Pro.  I'm dumb but my putting woes have plagued me since the ban of the belly.  I might actually give this hockey-style a try and throw an extension in my putter.  Worst case it costs me a grip.

I knew when I clicked on this it was going to be epic. Miss his character on tour hope he has a good week.

[Kyfra]

Following him online…doesn’t seem like he’s making anything.

 

 

Of course I ordered a Hammy putter from Play It Again, just in case there’s anything to this 🙂

If it doesn't let me know LOL.

[yesac104]

Love it!!

[carrier street]

Having the lead tape on the heel of the driver with the weight moved toward the toe  should be enough for all of the psychos here to get his face tattooed on their chests. I want him to win by 10.

[joj]

He can make them in bunches. Pretty sure he lead the Tour in birdies one year.

Best WITB yet!
