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!!

GOD Bless!!

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.

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.

Hello again Fellow Golfists, 

Got to do another talk and drive about golf on my way to a coastal destination in Sonoma County California.  Got to pontificate about the importance of making an American major golf championship difficult.  So many people think that birdies and eagles make for more entertaining major championship golf but, they are wrong.  To me birdiefest golf is really boring.

Hello again Golfists, 

Got to play again after work this past friday in late June 2024 and I bought some balls from Walmart that were a bit more reasonable than another golf store that I visited recently.  Also got to play Hiddenbrooke for the 2nd time this month and was surprised how differently the course played with little wind.

Hello again Fellow Golfists,

Got inspired after hitting the range at Sacramento National after feeling sick to my stomach watching myself in my most recent video waggling the club and not being anchored in my stance.  Thanks to Rick Shiels for making a helpful video about hitting the ball high and low and with a draw and a fade.  Also shared info on a new golf handicap / index provider.

Hello again Fellow Golfists, 

It was really hard to see Rory not win the US OPEN on Father's Day when he had it in the palm of his hand.  Rory should have faced the media and shaken Bryson's hand.  Bryson earned the win of the US OPEN and won the hearts and minds of many golf fans. 

Hope you have a great week.

Hello again Golfists, 

I had a really fun outing at Hiddenbrooke Golf Club in Vallejo California in June of 2024.  I had a ball learning more about what it is like to play golf in the wind.  It was a pleasant close to the bay type of an outing that really had some brilliant cool breezes  that I really enjoyed after a dreadful Friday at work.  Anyway I played the Palmer tees and I got to play a US Open type of a par 3 that measured 250 yards.  

Thanks so much for listening to The Knackered Golfist.  

I made a video of my golf outing and also got to shoot some video for The Knackered Golfist youtube channel.

Hello Fellow Golfists, 

I had a really brilliant time playing golf in 30 mph winds at Bodega Harbour Golf Links in Bodega Bay California in mid June of 2024.  I had a ball playing golf the way it was originally intended, Links Golf!!  I got to make 2 videos for the youtube channel and I thought they turned out pretty good with some good music that I cannot share on this podcast.  

So this episode is me coming to and going away from the golf outing that I didn't know when the last time was when I played there.  

Anyway,  here are links to the youtube videos:

Hello again fellow Golfists, 

Just wanted to put out there my take on what I hope to see throughtout this weekend of major championship golf from Pinehurst Number 2 in North Carolina.  I hope that it goes well and I am again rooting for Scottie Scheffler.

I'd love to know where you are listening to this podcast from.  I am a geography fanatic and I love learning about new places.  I'd love to read your fan mail in one of my next episodes.
