The Knackered Golfist Podcast

Golf, News, Sports, Sports News

This golf enthusiast has been addicted to golf since I was 8 years old, that's 40 years to you and me. Always trying to get the best deal on forged golf irons before they are all gone. Classic forged irons are really what get me excited about hitting golf balls the way they were intended to be hit. That goes for classic putters and classic persimmon woods too. Golf is far too expensive and it doesn't have to be. Golf can be participated in for far less money than what you think. Golf equipment, golf balls at the range, golf outings at the local muni, outings at upper echelon golf courses, and maybe attending the infrequent PGA Tour tournament.

I started the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on Facebook.

I also make videos The Knackered Golfist on YouTube.

    Commited more putter adultery when I was out collecting on a hot Saturday in August while missing the Holiday Inn Championship on the PGA Tour.

    I think any off brand milled putter is better than most mass produced putters. Even better than any stainless steel ping putter.

    Saw and heard the Ferrari 599 that was parked at a used dealer on the road after leaving Sacramento National.

    Hope you’re well.
