I have been addicted to golf since I was 8 years old. That's 40 years to you and me. I remember when good golf equipment was really hard to find. Now it is everywhere. There are many people who don't know that there are many fine pieces of golf equipment in second hand stores that are still relevant to today's municipal golf course experience. I speak about how golf is overpriced and doesn't have to be. I showcase and encourage how the beginner golfer can get a real bang for the buck by buying used golf equipment at their local second hand sports equipment store. Imagine sinking a putt with a 5 dollar putter for a birdie when the guy that spent 300 dollars just made a bogey. Check out my blog called The Knackered Golfist. I am also on YouTube under The Knackered Golfist. Thank you for listening. https://theknackeredgolfist647420645.wordpress.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLvzjMziOxGlXmbxtOVgH4g

    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@theknackeredgolfistCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfistThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookOughton's Golf Repairhttps://oughtonsgolf.com/#myscorecardThank a Veteran Today!!https://www.pgareach.org/services/militaryThe Observant Ear Radio Network GOD Bless You!!

    Hello again fellow Golfists, I am now a believer in the Karsten Solheim / Ping way of putting.  For years I have never been able to use a Ping style putter the way it was designed and intended.  After 40 years of perseverance I can now say that I can putt much more consistently with a Ping putter.  I had an outing with a Ping B63 putter at Mather Golf Course and made a video that is up on my YouTube channel: The Knackered Golfist.  Here is a link: https://youtu.be/hHv5N_04Eo4?si=Lnds3TPZg6I_LMGPAnyway I look forward to practicing more with Ping putters and hopefully having a decent round of golf with one from my growing collection.  Thank you Veterans for your military service!  #thankaveterantoday#theknackeredgolfistpodcast#pingputters#pingb63Support the show#mailboxesplusroseville #theknackeredgolfistpodcast@theknackeredgolfistCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfistThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookOughton's Golf Repairhttps://oughtonsgolf.com/#myonlinegolfclubhttp://www.us.myonlinegolfclub.com/Thank a Veteran Today!!https://www.pgareach.org/services/militaryGOD Bless You!!

    Hello again Fellow Golfists!!I purchased a new to me 2 iron from a bargain rack at Play It Again Sports and tonight was my first outing with it.  It is a Ben Hogan Apex Redline 2 iron with the Hogan Apex Extra 4 shaft.  I hit a few good ones but all in all I think that this particular shaft was worth the price.  If I ever get my hands on a Wilson Staff Gooseneck FG53 2 iron I just might put this shaft into it.  I had a decent outing at Sacramento National and used my new to me iphone to make a couple of good slow motion videos of me hitting rather good shots.  I had another outing with the Ping Tisi driver with the Larry Bobka Laker shaft.  I had to put a little bit of weighted tape on the back of that to help with the constant fade slice.  All and all a good outing.  Ball quality rating at Sacramento National on this night was a 6 out of 10.  0 being completely rubbish range balls and 10 being brand new range balls.  24 dollars for 150 range balls with top tracer simulators that don't work.  Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.   #golf#golfpodcast#golfswing#golfclubs#golftalk#golfcourse#golfdrivingrange#benhogangolf#ping#larrybobka#playitagainsports Check out the Forged Golf Club Appreciation Page on Facebook Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube Support the show#mailboxesplusroseville #theknackeredgolfistpodcast@theknackeredgolfistCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfistThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookOughton's Golf Repairhttps://oughtonsgolf.com/#myonlinegolfclubhttp://www.us.myonlinegolfclub.com/Thank a Veteran Today!!https://www.pgareach.org/services/militaryGOD Bless You!!

    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!!    Check out the Forged Golf Club Appreciation Page on Facebook Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube #mailboxesplusroseville #theknackeredgolfistpodcast@theknackeredgolfistCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@TheKnackeredGolfistThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookOughton's Golf Repairhttps://oughtonsgolf.com/#myonlinegolfclubhttp://www.us.myonlinegolfclub.com/Thank a Veteran Today!!https://www.pgareach.org/services/militaryGOD Bless You!!

    Hello again fellow Golfists, I shared a few of thoughts on the final round at the 2023 Honda Classic at PGA National today.  Congratulations to Chris Kirk for his first victory on the PGA Tour in 8 years.  Glad to see that the one club that wasn't Callaway didn't cost him the whole enchilada today, his Taylor Made Stealth 3 wood.  He was able to regroup on the 18th in regulation and forced a playoff and eventually won it all.  It was good to see Jack Nicklaus offer his thoughts on the play on the final day at what was the last tournament that Honda will be sponsoring.  Honda has been the sole sponsor for this tournament at least 40 years.  This tournament started as the Jackie Gleason Inverrary Classic 51 years ago in 1972.  It was interesting to see Mr. Nicklaus offer his thoughts on the tournament going forward, with insight as to how the future tour schedule will be.  I also shared a bit of feedback on my most recent visit to the putting green at the Thunder Valley Golf Resort at Whitney Oaks.  I also may have won a prize by one of my comments on a video that I saw recently.  Hope you are well and thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!!GOD Bless America!!

    Hello again fellow Golfists,I was happy to be able to see some golf from Pebble Beach on Groundhog Day weekend 2023.  The PGA Tour decided to do away with amateur play on Sunday at Pebble and stick with what sells; professionals playing golf.  I was delighted to see this change of format because it allowed at least the pros to play the front nine on Sunday after the tournament was halted Saturday because of high winds at Monterey Peninsula Golf Club.  Tom Kite won the US Open at Pebble Beach in gale force winds and nobody halted any play that day in June 1992.  Once the play was over on CBS I got to see the continuing coverage on Peacock that also allowed me to see a gorgeous sunset from the Pebble Beach Golf Links.  Play was then suspended due to darkness to resume tomorrow at 8am pacific time.  I also enjoyed watching golf on this day with very little commercial interruption as well.  I hope that Justin Rose can hold on to win tomorrow at Pebble Beach. Thanks again for listening and visit The Knackered Golfist on YouTube to see my most recent music video.  Special shout out to Yooto'pea Golf for their wonderful Timeless Gatsby hat that I recieved recently.  #theknackeredgolfistpodcast #theknackeredgolfist#acushnetbullseyewideblade#yootopeagolf#thundervalleygolfresortatwhitneyoaks

    Tried to watch golf Saturday at Pebble Beach on CBS but the wind caused the weather delay.  Wind didn't stop Tom Kite!  But it turned into a trip to the putting green!  Thanks for listening.

    Well it's Groundhog Day, again, which means that we need to chat about a certain tournament where big time golfers don't even bother to show up.  The Pebble Beach weekend on the PGA Tour is upon us and I wanted to share my opinions of what I think of this weeks tournament.  I think that I failed to share that the price for a spectator grounds pass at this tournament starts at $95.00, which is highway robbery on US101.  Nobody from last weeks Farmers Insurance Open's first page of the leaderboard showed up to this tournament.  Not even Cameron Champ.  It is very sad to see such a big time tournament being pushed to the side for CBS to run endless ads for their programming and to generate ad revenue.  The field for this tournament is worse than the 2022 Fortinet Championship that I attended back in September, and I even paid for a concert that I didn't stay to watch.  I literally have no idea who is playing in this tournament at all this week. Last weeks purse in San Diego was 8.7 million dollars, This weeks purse in Monterey is 9.0 million dollars.Next weeks purse at Phoenix and at the Genesis in Los Angeles are both 20 million dollar purses.   Thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!!Happy Groundhog Day!!

    Happy New Year 2023 from The Knackered Golfist.  I am sorry but I am not really feeling like the golf bug is biting me at the moment.  I am looking more forward to NFL football rather than watching PGA Tour golf on TV.  And I am not looking forward to golf broadcast commercials.  NO PLAYING THROUGH!!!!   Yikes!!The new year is upon us and we here are neck deep in the raging  waters with all of the rain and wind here in Northern California.  I am sort of looking forward to when it dries out a bit to at least go to the putting green.  But not the green at Sacramento National.    Isao Aoki won the Hawaiian Open 40 years ago this week.  I watched a video today published by the PGA Tour Honoring Isao Aoki.  I was happy to have watched this because it was really well done.  Waialae Country Club in Honolulu still hosts this event 40 years later.    I mention in this episode that I have a profile on what is called ListenApp.   It is an app that is for Android or iPhone that allows followers to participate in a call in sports talk show type of experience with a host who just so happens to have a podcast.  My profile is called TKG Trent on ListenApp.  If someone would like to follow me on ListenApp we could possibly have a call in type of golf themed talk show kind of episode where we can chat about golf stuff.  Thank you so much for all of the downloads and all of the views on The Knackered Golfist on YouTube in 2022.  I sincerely appreciate it!  Happy Golf Thoughts to you all!!Good Day Good Evening Good Night to wherever you may be!!  TKG was sipping Trader Joe's Blueberry and Lemon flavored sparkling water during this episode.  https://www.youtube.com/c/theknackeredgolfisthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1kAc6cKE5c

    Hello again Fellow Golfists,I had a great day out at the first event of the 22 - 23 PGA Tour season at the 2022 Fortinet Championship at Silverado Resort and Spa.  I had a great time meeting and chatting with fellow golfists that had really cool stories to share about what golf means to them.  I especially enjoyed sitting next to a lovely couple, who shared their pork jerky with me and who also happened to be from Gilroy California.  They were the parents of Kyle Harrigan who is the Golf Course Superintendent at the North Course at the Silverado Resort and Spa.  They were fun to sit with and chat with about all of the afternoon groups that were coming through the 11th tee.  I then also got to sit next to a lovely couple who were from San Mateo and who also got to witness a hole in one on the 11th hole at the North Course at Silverado.    I look forward to sharing my tidbits and little interviews that I collected today in the near future on The Knackered Golfist Podcast.  Thanks for Listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!! Oh, by the way, The Knackered Golfist Podcast is now available on ListenApp.

    Hi Again Folks, NFL Football is here and that means that summer will end like it usually does.  I'm going to see the PGA Tour in Napa California this weekend at the Fortinet Championship at Silverado Golf Resort in Napa California.  Stop me and say hi.  I would enjoy chatting with you about something and have you on the show!  I will be there Saturday.  I am going to try and plumb bob my way around Silverado this Saturday.  I wanted to share a putter that I have been puttering around with while putting green hopping around courses in Sacramento this past Saturday.  I'm tinkering around with a knackered Ping Cushin putter.  It was good to comfortably practice putting at on putting greens in that hopping rotation.  I forgot to share an encounter that I had with local sports commentator Grant Napear.  He helped my understand why the PGA Tour is the best professional golf tour in the world.   Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast #theknackeredgolfistpodcast

    Hello again Fellow Golfists, Just wanted to share my most recent golf outing at Blue Rock Springs Golf Course in Vallejo California.  I got to play the West Course recently.  I chatted about my most recent golf round, who I played with, how long it took, funny things that happened, playing in older style golf shoes, new but older clubs I picked up, dealing with a herniated putter, my new handicap index,  trying to putt with a spanish accent, with a flourish of cooler San Pablo bay breeze to finish the round with.   Hoping your next putt is so easy to get in and out of, you know.  Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast
