I use Golden Ram Muscle back tour grind's. I'll post some pictures of my entire set after I get done repairing my hybrid's crown paint.

You need to spend less on that Honda and more on some good clubs

LOL yeah the Honda is in the basement getting ready for next season. I think I will pick up a cheap driver and take some lessons at Nevada Bob's this winter before the boy's high school golf season starts.

Hey guys here's what I use
I don't have my driver in there because I am repairing the crown. I'll post some pictures later when I finish. Tell me what you think, They are Golden Ram Muscle back irons w/ true temper shafts.

OK gang... We need to get a suntan on White Tiger...

Those look like guitar playing fingers.

White Tiger happens to live in central Michigan. It happens to be January.

I do play guitar. Quite terribly. I'm a drummer.

We should start a band. I play guitar, but drumming is one of the hardest things I ever tried to do. I couldn't keep 4 rhythms at once if my life depended on it.

They say it takes 3,000 hours of practice to become "reasonably proficient." I beleive it. Drumming really isn't something you can pick up on your spare time. But to be fair, neither is guitar playing. Only difference being that you can teach a total beginner a stupid-easy guitar riff in a few minutes.

True... The way I started with guitar was that I played keyboards in a band and we wanted to do a Beatles medley
where we changed instruments, looking much more talented than we really were. The guitarist taught me C and Em,
enough to play Eleanor Rigby. It took about 2 hours practicing the chord change until I had it perfect.

It became my part and I got hooked.

In a way, I started playing golf the same way. My mother got me a cut down 7 iron and a putter. Every time
I actually got the ball up in the air with the 7 iron, it was a natural high and it's now 53 years later,
with no less a great feeling when I create a well struck shot.
