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. https://www.facebook.com/groups/424396784801087/I also make videos The Knackered Golfist on YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/c/theknackeredgolfistAnd I am on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/theknackeredgolfist/?hl=enThank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!!

    TKG Ep 126 Meeting A Sacramento Golf Institution.

    Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists,  I wanted to share that I had a great outing to the driving range at Sacramento National on 3.22.25.  I also wanted to share that I had a great time practicing with my new Scottie Scheffler Inspired / Style 5 iron with the correctly molded grip to enhance the attention that needs to be paid to having proper golf fundamentals.  I used a Golden Ram Tour Grind Axial 5 iron.     I also had a good session with my Honma CL 708 Forged blades that I had recently reshafted with a set of Precision FM 6.5 shafts that were originally in my Golden Ram Tour Grinds.  And once I made it to the practice green I had a good session with my Wilson 8802 and my PING B61 putter.   I also had the chance to meet someone who is considered a golf institution in the greater Sacramento area.  His name is Clyde Daniels.  Mr. Daniels was able to briefly share with me a few stories of what it was like to visit The Masters, organize a junior golf clinic with Charlie Sifford, and see Calvin Peete in his prime at the 1982 US Open at Pebble Beach.  Not to mention, he was able to qualify and play in the Transamerica at Silverado Golf Resort in Napa California, which was a stop on the PGA Champions Tour circuit.  Thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.       Support the show #theknackeredgolfistpodcast @theknackeredgolfist Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfist This episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on Facebook Oughton's Golf Repair https://oughtonsgolf.com/ #myscorecard Thank a Veteran Today!! https://www.pgareach.org/services/military The Observant Ear Radio Network GOD Bless You!!

    TKG Ep 123 Players Championship Preview

    Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again fellow Golfists, Got to pontificate on my way to work on the Thursday morning before the 2025 Players Championship.  This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Calvin Peete winning the 1985 Players Championship.  It has been great to hear recent podcast episodes that really open the book on Calvin Peete's dominance on the PGA Tour in the 1970's and 1980's.   No Laying Up with Kevin Van Valkenburg and The Society of Golf History Enthusiast's Conor T Lewis interviewed Gordon Hobson after the book on Calvin Peete's life was published back in 2024.  The book is called "Calvin Peete: Golf's Forgotten Star" by Gordon Hobson.  I really want to hear it on audiobook and I hope to soon.  I also share an update on my work with my Honma forged blades that I still have not quite finished yet.  I also bought a grip to have a Scottie Scheffler club in my bag in order to get back to the fundamentals when practicing.   I also think that The Player's Championship should be a legitimate major championship but when should it be? Thanks so much for listening.   God Bless You and Have a great week!   Support the show #theknackeredgolfistpodcast @theknackeredgolfist Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfist This episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on Facebook Oughton's Golf Repair https://oughtonsgolf.com/ #myscorecard Thank a Veteran Today!! https://www.pgareach.org/services/military The Observant Ear Radio Network GOD Bless You!!

    TKG Ep 121 Thanksgiving Afternoon Club Making

    Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! In this episode I describe what I encountered while trying to reshaft a new to me set of Honma CL-708 irons into non regular flexed shafts.  After a trip to the range at Sacramento National,  I drove home hopefully discussing all of the points that I wanted to discuss as it related to what it was like to change ferrules as well as change shafts in a set of "soft metal" blades.  I am learning that Honma clubs from the mid 1980's are not forged as I thought they were.     Thank you for your support in listening to this golf podcast and I hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.   Be Well and Stay Inspired!!

    TKG Ep 120 Breakthrough Sessions.

    Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists,  In the episode I vented about a less than ideal golf experience that I had this past weeekend trying to play golf somewhere that had a cooler climate.  I took a risk and it didn't work out.     I also had the chance to get out and practice at the Sacramento National at Haggin Oaks driving range where I had a breakthrough with regard to alignment and setup.  And met up with a couple of older gentlemen who I met back in the winter.  Rudy and Ray were delightful to chat with.  Rudy Danzinger was the founder at Tower Records, which is a historic music store institution, that, to my knowledge started in Sacramento California.   Also got to chat with an someone who had a eagle eye viewer account of the small airplane that crashed last weekend at the Haggin Oaks Blue and Red Nine clubhouse.  Thanks to Augusto at Haggin Oaks for chatting with me about what he observed last sunday when the Piper PA 28 aircraft fell out of the sky and landed with no power against the Haggin Oaks clubhouse.     Also got to visit Ancil Hoffman golf course and practiced more of my putting by "looking at the hole" where results were promising.  And spoke about what it is like to finally understand a golf concept, that took 30 years to finally realize.   Thanks again for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.   Here is the podcast episode with Rudy Danzinger on the 2500 DelMonte Street: The Oral History of Tower Records.    https://www.buzzsprout.com/1988649/11891870 #theknackeredgolfistpodcast  #hagginoaksgolfcomplex #ancilhoffmangolfcourse Support the show #theknackeredgolfistpodcast @theknackeredgolfist Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfist This episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on Facebook Oughton's Golf Repair https://oughtonsgolf.com/ #myscorecard Thank a Veteran Today!! https://www.pgareach.org/services/military The Observant Ear Radio Network GOD Bless You!!

    TKG Ep 119 Plane Crash at Sacramento National Golf Course

    Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists,  A small airplane took off on Sunday afternoon August 4th 2024 from McClellan AFB / Airport and crash landed on the east side of the Sacramento National / Haggin Oaks Blue And Red Nine golf course pro shop and blue and red practice putting green.  The Piper PA 28 Cherokee had an engine failure and the pilot had to make an emergency landing.  Miraculously this crash landing did not cause any substantial injury to either the pilot, golfers, or golf course personnel on the ground.  The practice putting green and the golf course clubhouse, originally built in 1932, sustained damage. In this episode I reflect on a plane crash that I observed first hand when I worked as a 2nd Assistant Superintendent at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club in San Jose California way back in 2002, and an incident with a piece of golf course equipment during my time at DeBell Golf Course in Burbank California.  Here is a link to a newspaper article of a plane crash that happened on 3.7.02 at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club.   https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/samaritan-pilot-feared-dead-plane-crash-on-san-2867721.php This story made it to Golf Digest, the El Segundo Times, KCRA Channel 3 News in Sacramento, KOVR Channel 13 News in Sacramento, and KXTL FOX 40 News in Sacramento.     Please check out my day after video on The Knackered Golfist on YouTube. https://youtu.be/atyFnnmfsL4?si=GbYn9PH6oqPuMkac Thank you so much for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!! God Bless You, and Thank God That Noone Was Injured!
