It's nice and quiet at the office this morning. 🙂

 

If you have a wife or girlfriend that golfs you must get her a pair of cute golf shoes. I like these two pairs of G Fore's from Peter Millar.

I am guessing 1983-84 ish.

Dead ringer for the AC-108 irons (circa '72 - '76).  Absent the toe and heel back weights.  Perhaps the SW didn't have them.  The Acushnet name disappeared in '77.  Source:  Maltby ID Guide IV.

Without a reference to make sure I would say Mid 80s and LOL it is well worn in the right spot . 

Edit Senior Moment I posted before I saw Fella had posted--- He is usually dead on it on most brands--- Me I am pretty decent on Macgregor and Spalding. But as usual Fella nailed it

So you've been to Charlevoix then Bob Cat? 

How often do you get up north?

We had a cottage on Torch Lake when I was growing up. Northern Michigan is one of my favorite summer places. Traverse City all the way on up to Petoskey is GOD's country from June thru September.  

 

 

Maybe 6 times.  I work from home here in Indiana for a company up in that area.  Yes, it's a great place to visit.

Too bad you don't still have the cottage on Torch.  We'd ALL come up to visit ya.

... My Bettinardi:

Love it man 8802 style. And I can tell it is used and not a wall hanger. Now @touch do not change anything yet but I went back to one of my Ironmasters for the Shootout yesterday. It is a later model reproduction with the Macgregor Steel/ Fiberglass shaft (sorta like my Steelfibers in my irons) with a real factory Neuman leather wrap grip. I putted pretty decent on our crappy greens with it yesterday. Main thing was I loved the bare balls feel and enjoyed putting with it. I also went back to a 10 finger grip like I use with all my clubs. I was really releasing it good yesterday so I may see. I did not putt great with the Grace all week and felt I had lost my basic feel. I had thought Thursday night what did I use on crappy greens back in my youth. Of course it was an Ironmaster. I think I freed myself up some from being too mechanical and just used instinct and let it flow. With me on putting time will tell

1976 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne Chalet Camper 4×4

Kind of neat. Buy it. 

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1976-chevrolet-k5-blazer/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First year they made the Blazer where the top only comes off behind the seats. Prior to that the top came off all the way to the windshield but they did have a factory roll bar. The NHTSB made them and Ford on the Bronco change that for 1976. I had a 75 I spent too much money on. 

[Fellaheen51]

My Bettinardi......

 

 

It was OK.  Didn't significantly increase putts made, so was peddled to the fanbois for a nice ROI.  They come and they go.

A little mid morning snack.

Banana walnut oatmeal and a cup of loaded grits.

Unfortunately we sold our cottage in 1975 Bob Cat when our family left Michigan and moved to St. Louis. We owned it from 1970-75, and those were the best summers of my youth. 🙂

Of course not Sir Bellingham. There is a fine array of women's golf fashions in the Pro Shop. I am a sportswear consultant to a few lady members so I stay up on the merchandise available. 😁

I like the pair with the Ked's look and kilties.  I would be commenting on those on the golf course and asking for a phone number at the same time.

Keds with Kilties!   I love it.  The young Bucks in the Lounge probably won't get it.

How about the Pro-Keds with the red/blue stripe?  Here's the suede version and if/when they would get wet you would always end up with pinkish dyed socks!

Oh nice! We’ve cycled back to shoes!! 😁 I typically try to be considerate of the fact most loungers don’t seem to enjoy the shoe talk. But count me in! 👍🏼😜

I picked these Metcon 8s up last week and they are the best gym shoes I’ve owned to date. Low drop and unmatched stability 👍🏼

Now if Nike’s actually were comfortable for me, I would consider these.

I’d say try em. They fit/feel quite differently than typical Nike shoes. I don’t like the fit/feel of Nike golf shoes for instance. But when it comes to training shoes, they got it right!
