Thinking about Blades and Persimmons

[thegolfclubdoc]

Played 9 holes last Saturday and shot a 42 which is a little better than average for me. I feel so confident with my Pings. Playing 18 today. Am tempted to play with some MacGregor Tourneys that I found at Goodwill yesterday. But, I'm just obsessed with my Pings right now. While I was experimenting with my Spaldings I sent my Pings in to be refinished and had them etch my name into them. They look beautiful.

Played with these yesterday. Shot my all-time best score of 79. Putter was on fire.

When the world ends, the only things remaining will be Ping irons (they last forever), cockroaches, and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Roaches, Richards and Jagger. PapaD could round out that foursome. He's an old rock star.

And Betty White

Thank you. Proud to be in that company.

Played for a long time with blades and persimmon. I played pretty well them and it was fun to find that treasured 1950’s MacGregor persimmon. Wood brothers golf in Houston made the Texan persimmon and a couple of other models.

Part of what brought on metal woods was that golf balls like top-flute and pinnacle were so hard you could easily shatter a very valuable persimmon wood. People, like myself, who tried to remain traditional only played balata balls.

if you decide to try blades and persimmons be careful and don’t ruin a still valuable collectors club by hitting hard balls with it.

Just in case some of you don't know what my new sticks look like I have posted them. Still waiting on my putter so I can't post pictures of them just yet. I know it is going to be a process getting acclimated to these new clubs. But I'm going to play with them all season. I really like the way the look. I have hit some balls on a lunch monitor, but can't see or feel much of a difference. But when the weather gets better I will definitely be out there in the course to put these new sticks to the test. At the end of the year, if I don't like them I can always just sell them off and go back to my Pings. If I do like them then I will keep them.
