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 100 Shooting 75 and Loving It!
Hello again Fellow Golfists,
This host made an investment in a golf training aide product that already shaved 5 strokes off my game in my most recent golf outing. I shot 75 on a golf course where I normally shoot 80 or 81. Under difficult conditions at my local municipal golf course I had a very good day of golf. I owe my success this past weekend to the device that is called the Leadbetter "Straight Away" training device from Performance Golf.
David Leadbetter is internationally known for being the golf instructor that helped Nick Faldo win 6 major championships. Leadbetter has instructed many golf professionals to help them win on the PGA Tour and have victories in the world of major championship golf. Names like Price, Els, Faldo and Frost are most notable in my memory. This device helped me with my driver, my irons, and most surprisingly with my putter.
I had a great time playing golf during the much cooler than anticipated Labor Day weekend in Northern California. I practiced with this new device at the Emerald Lakes Golf Course in Elk Grove California and also the Thunder Valley Golf Resort at Whitney Oaks in Rocklin California. I had different experiences at both facilities.
Wow, I just realized that this is my 100th episode. I want to thank you for listening to my content about my golf experiences.
I think this means that I will be doing a reflective TKG episode in the near future.
Thanks again for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!
GOD Bless You!!

TKG Ep 99 Remembering the Ben Hogan Golf Company
Hello again Fellow Golfists,
I wanted to share that I listened to a great historical podcast last night and thought that Conor T. Lewis and his TalkinGolf Podcast did a great job discussing the history of the Ben Hogan Golf Company with John Barba of MyGolfSpy.com. This episode was so great at describing and documenting all of the great history that happened when Mr Hogan was involved in his company. I always thought that a golf club with Ben Hogan's name on it was better when Ben Hogan was alive. There were many trials and tribulations that happened during the company's existence in the golf market place. I just wanted to share what Ben Hogan and the Ben Hogan Golf Company meant to me.
Thank you so much for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.
GOD Bless You!!

TKG Ep 98 Cool Hands with a Wilson Staff FG53 Gooseneck
Hello again Fellow Golfists,
I was able to play my last round of golf of the summer before Mr Producer goes back to school. I was fortunate enough to be able to finally play Hiddenbrooke Golf Club in Vallejo California. This was the site of the 2000 through 2002 Samsung World Championship on the LPGA Tour. This golf course was "such good fun" to play with so many Justin Rose-isms of having many "ebbs and flows" and many "peaks and valleys".
I struggled with my driver off the tee during my round at Hiddenbrooke but I had a very good day with my Wilson Staff Gooseneck FG 53 irons and my Titleist Bulls Eye putter. These irons continue to impress me on par3's and approaches to par 4's. I indeed have cool hands while swinging these amazing FORGED irons.
I also got to get a good practice session in at the Antelope Greens Golf Course and Driving Range in Elverta California. This facility is really a good place to practice shots on a highly maintained all grass tee driving range facility. I never thought having and maintaining an all grass driving range tee at a public golf facility could be possible. This is a place that I will indeed visit again.

TKG Ep 97 Wilson Staff FG53 Gooseneck Irons Review
Hello again Fellow Golfists,
I wanted to share an episode where I talked about what my most recently purchased golf iron set means to me and how they feel in my hands. The shafts that are in these irons are still very good. I had a good late morning outing at the Indian Creek Country Club Driving Range in Loomis California before temperatures reached 100 degrees. The driving range ball quality was simple and decent. The driving range was simple, reasonably priced for a large bucket of balls, and well distanced.
I do hope that the final 2 PGA Tour playoff events of 2023 are not pre-empted by the NFL who will be broadcasting pre-season San Francisco 49er games on CBS KOVR Channel 13 in Sacramento for the next 2 Sunday afternoons.
The 49ers were decimated today by the Las Vegas / Los Angeles / Oakland Raiders. Uh Oh!!

TKG Ep 96 TKGP Visit: Laguna Seca Golf Ranch
Hello again Fellow Golfists,
I was able to take a trip to the Monterey Peninsula area and cool off from being socked into triple digit temperatures in Northern California for a few days in early August 2023. I was very excited to play golf at the Laguna Seca Golf Ranch in Monterey California. I had a ball meeting the staff and playing a Robert Trent Jones Senior and Junior collaboration golf course that was constructed in 1970. The course was an elevation changing, kikuyu grass fairway perfect lie creating, and smooth and firm rolling groomed greens playing experience that I really enjoyed on a simply immaculate cool breeze kind of a Friday afternoon on the Monterey Peninsula.
I also got to visit The Hay at Pebble Beach and play the putting course there. I got to play with Mr Producer and Mr Content Maker at this putting course and also made a video of the outing as well.
I also had a great round playing with my new Wilson Staff FG 53 Gooseneck blades during my outing at LSGC. These golf clubs are gorgeous pieces of craftsmanship from Wilson from the late 1980's.
Many thanks to my "Better Half" and "Mr Producer" for making this trip possible in the first place. Without them this podcast and the content that I make for this podcast and YouTube channel would not be possible.
God Bless You and Thank You for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!

Customer Reviews
Really good golf insight.
This chap has many memories of golf which is a game of many frustrations and many triumphs. His Arnold Palmer episode was really amazing. The Knackered Golfist is someone who is looking to shed light on what modern golf is to the average amateur who plays on municipal golf courses.
