Recent reminiscing by a few of us about the "Top Flite Tour OMG" thread and the unfortunate passing of Steve Almo got me thinking about the old FGI days. Let...

Rickochet This could be helpful in the 'How did you shoot today at golf' thread.

Triggered the memories of SMT & Geek's epic interchanges (all in good fun of course). Good Times. 🤔

Eguller How about Stoney & Potash?😄

MidwayJ

Par4QC How about Stoney & Potash?

Haha, completely forgot about that.

Stoney and Potash were real characters. They had a pretty funny battle going, lots smack talk on FGI 😆
Potash and I teamed up against Stoney and Leftycanuck for some of those epic battles.

Stoney was a top-notch player and represented our province in National Seniors Championship.

Who posted the thread about acquiring a super low budget bag of clubs and trying to break 80 with it?

MidwayJ on the short list.... @sdandrea1 🙃

rsvman2

MidwayJ Dyno, maybe?

I believe that was Darkside. Something like $100 setup.

I'm not sure I started the thread, but I'm betting I posted in it. 👍

MidwayJ

rsvman2 I don't think so. It was a detailed journey about how and what clubs were acquired to stay within the ultra low budget, then attempts to shoot low enough with them. I think there was also a twist where he was forced to continue to use those clubs until he broke 80. It might have been baab but I don't recall for certain.

MidwayJ It might have been baab but I don't recall for certain.

Baab, a phonetically spelled, Long Guyland pronunciation of Bob is the one who donated a set of hybrid heads for the Ex's golf bag. They'll soon be passed down to my eldest granddaughter. Thanks Baab, gwog, and Mickeygoo for the club-building and donation. The set's got a killer Pink driver! Made by Bang Golf? Truly is a nice head, with a pink shaft. Bring on "Barbie"!

Spuzz

Darkside also had an epic thread of a Dunlop Loco review and he also listed the clubs he had, alphabetically, that was a mile long. lol
I golfed with him in AZ. Awesome guy.
I miss him and his sidekick Tap In.

CallMeAl

Spuzz

The Kevin's! Played with both! Great Guys!

Actually saw TapIn this year at Desert Storm. He's lost a Ton of weight.

MidwayJ

Spuzz Yes! I remember the Loco thread, too. I missed both of those threads when they happened but enjoyed reading through them when they got torpedoed later, lol.

I remember Tim Hewitt/myOstrich Golf. SUPER smart and nice guy! And wasn’t Tim one of the founders of the International Clubmakers Guild?

I played a round with Tim at Persimmon Ridge in Louisville. Tim was always in a good humor and had a big smile on his face. The Professional Clubmakers Society (PCS) had a headquarters building on the course near the pro shop. Tim was there for an annual PCS meeting and invited me, CoachSB and RangerX for a round at Persimmon which is a very unusual course. Almost every green has a huge hump in the ground. Rumor was that there was an elephant buried in every green. 🤣

Tim /My Ostrich, was great to deal with.

Then he took his computer skills to work overseas in SE Asia, if I remember correctly.

Some excellent people and characters...........except Christian. Wow,is that a sad and disgusting revelation behind the guise of being a born again.

Looks like a pink Bang-o-matic.

MidwayJ

professor That's very cool!

I don't know when Steve joined FGI but when it closed he was one of the busiest posters. The top posters were up around 20k posts. I think I was in the top 5 and Steve quickly had 10k posts under his belt. 😜

MidwayJ

sdandrea1 That thread was well before you joined but you have probably posted something similar. I mean, what haven't you posted about? 😁

sdandrea1

Rickochet I miss the bag over the head embarrassed emogi. I used it alot.
