Sweet Baby J's WITB - Scratch Heavy

[Sweet Baby J]

Updated 8/26/11 - see newest post

Hello fellow WRX'ers, hope you enjoy my WITB thread.

A little golfing history: I learned how to play golf when I was in college at the University of Oregon(hence, the bag) in the mid 90's. After college, you lose all of your golf buddies, so I quit playing. Last year I had the urge to want to start playing again. After many, MANY golf bags, many sets of irons, drivers, woods, hybrids, and putters, I finally came to equipments that I truly feel good about and love. It's also easier for me to decide on equipments when one of my best friends work for Scratch Golf!

Please see updated post!

Great bag!! Love the ferrules.

[Pure745]

Nice! That DOM wedge looks sick! One of the coolest ideas I've seen! What finish is that on your irons and DOM wedge?

[b_riedy]

Awesome! I can't wait for my Scratch AR-1s to arrive!!!

[MtlJeff]

nice bag!

though very little Nike presence for an Oregon man!

[Dukefan1]

Irons and wedges are just sick(in a good way)!

[JLTES]

great bag, I see a set of Scratch irons in my near future!

[Hstead]

I like the clubs, unfortunately though the bag kinda blows chunks. LOL JK

Go Bucks.

That is one nice set of irons and excellent everything else too. Thanks for posting.

[Golfingbanker]

Very nice setup!! Mix & Match on the ferrules is a great idea and looks really cool. How is the copper wedge?

[Sweet Baby J]

Thank you all for the generous comments.

Actually the irons and the 8620 are their stock "satin" finish. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Of course I'm all for Oregon to win, but just hope it'll be an exciting game.

It's butter, that's all I have to say!

Love the Scratch wedges! The DOM stamping is way cool....very original, nice job! Matches the ferrules too!

Cheers!

I don't normally comment on alot of bags, but I really like yours!

And I agree on the Scratch irons.. They are some of the best I've used, and worth every bit... I'm trying to talk myself into a new full set of wedges from them as well, but I don't need them quite yet, and I think I'll make the hour drive up to see them soon in TN.

BTW, diggin' those ferrules..

[Sweet Baby J]

Thanks guys! I'm glad the DOM wedge and the ferrules are such big hits!

[hawkdiddy23]

the wedge thats stamped is teh coolest thing ive ever seen very nice

[williamo]

You have one of the nicest bags here in this f****** forum. Man, your irons and wedges are sick sick sick. If would give my left arm to have your setup.

Nice driver too!

[FATC1TY]

I'm curious how you like that putter? I couldn't use something like that.. Looks like some piece of silver jewelry... I'd have to put with sun glasses on.

[Thaddy]

Did you used to have the Scratch hybrid or did you just pick up a head cover? I love the bag, and your clubs are probably the most unique on this forum, paint fill and ferrules are so cool...

[garcia51694]

That wedge is crazy. Real nice bro. What kind of paint do you use for your paintfills?

It's a really soft putter. I used STX putter back in college and before this Sizemore, my putting was great with the MacGregor, so I'm really an insert kind of guy. But this Sizemore took my putting into another level, great soft feel, weigh probably just a tad over 350g. It's true that in the summer, it blinds you, so I'm thinking about getting a flamed version of the same putter.

Thank you. Personally, I don't own any Scratch hybrids, but my wife does! She also rocks a Scratch LDG wedge as well. I rock the Scratch hybrid covers to support my boys down in Springfield!

Thank you. Just normal hobby enamel paint.

Pics of my wife's Scratch wedge and hybrid. "Moo Moo" is one of my almost-3-year old's many nicknames.

 

[Fundadores]

Great stuff, especially like the scratch wedges.

[DaCorbster]

Great set up! Where are you from in Oregon?

[quote name='litespeed-dom' post='2151681' date='Dec 30 2009, 08:53 PM'][b][size=4]Hybrids:[/size] [/b]Adams Tour Issue Pro Gold that I scored on Craigslist. 18* shafted with VS Proto 95x, the 22* shafted with a GD GAT 95x. After experiementing with different hybrids, I came back to the Pro Gold's and still believe these are the best hybrids out there.[/quote]

That 60* wedge is sick!! Also just fyi, the hybrids pictured are both Tour Issue Idea Pro's not Pro Golds. Mabye you used the wrong picture or something and also have pro golds but I just thought I would point that out. Sweet setup nonetheless!

Oh yeah, thanks, typo on my part. Did have Pro Golds, hated them.

[anders]

Loving the set up dude. Off the chart!

Did all the ferrules come from Scratch? Any idea where you can buy them direct?
