Par4QC PD1830 .....another lost soul from yesteryear..... You must be hurting for bad advice.๐คฃ Welcome!!
PD1830 Par4QC Yep need more good bad advice ๐คฃ Played in the 80's back then. Been only playing once a year in a scramble for the last 15 years. My sons finally got me to go play....and I sucked. I sucked so bad I put a golf sim in the garage. Just hate being that bad.
Ack8236 The old FGI appears to still be displaying the farewell posts... https://static.golfchannel.com/FGI/index.html
candukid Ack8236 It has been since it died. Iโm actually one of the messages along with quite a few regulars here.
PD1830 Spuzz I have no idea lmao. Can't remember any username or anything from that long ago. Life just gets in the way. Golfsmith irons were my first clubs, still use the 5 wood now.
sdandrea1 PD1830 Golfsmith irons were my first clubs, still use the 5 wood now. Welcome back! Many of us long for the days of the arrival of the annual Golfsmith catalog. ๐ญ
PD1830 My son now uses The White Lightning driver I built back then from a forum member. The Irons I've been using are called Ground Attack (big bertha clone)
rsvman2 PD1830 Dude, if you were really on FGI, you would know that the driver's name was misspelled as White Lightening. I have my suspicions that you are not who you say you are. ๐ฎ๐คช
LBlack14 PD1830 Cut to the chase, ya wanna buy some of my junk, or not??? ๐คจ Upgrade, $100 shipped. ๐
PD1830 rsvman2 Nice pick up. Got the blue Grafalloy shaft in it. Bought a few Mercury Savage shafts back then also. My $20 Wilson driver head with a Savage shaft is still in the bag. I hooked too much with the white lightening. Qi10 can't beat the Wilson head with Mercury shaft haha
mulegolf rsvman2 you would know that the driver's name was misspelled as White Lightening. Hell, I made and sold many of those and I couldn't tell you how it was spelled for sure. ๐
Typhoon SMT And..... nothing has changed. hahaha Yeah, 1/2 the people here are still playing Ground Attack irons and looking for a new White Lightening head to play.
LBlack14 PD1830 Yeah, you got some $1k blades to sell me for $100, I'll take it. Why do you want 1k blades, if you suck?? You can put lipstick on a pig, but....
Rickochet sdandrea1 Welcome back! Many of us long for the days of the arrival of the annual Golfsmith catalog. And the Fall Friend's and Family Sale when GS still owned it. ๐
PD1830 LBlack14 A friend of my one son came over to try the sim. he had some 40 year old clubs that were given to him. Northwestern blades haha. So I took a few shots with them. Had a toe hit and felt no forgiveness, like I already knew would happen. The other shots I hit straight down the middle..hmmm. I looked down the shaft and noticed there was no or very little offset. My miss is an over draw or pull hook. So my thinking is to get a new modern set of irons that have the least amount of offset. And no, I'm not paying $700-$1000 for Irons. My wife would beat me over the head with them while sleeping ๐
LBlack14 Typhoon Yeah, 1/2 the people here are still playing Ground Attack irons and looking for a new White Lightening head to play. Problem??? ๐
PD1830 LBlack14 I built the Blackhawk irons and woods. Still have the woods, almost like hybrids these days. I also build a set of XPC 2000 irons with Aldila vx graphite shafts, still have those but never really liked them. That's a good looking set of P2's
