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!!

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@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!!

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!!GOD Bless!!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!!

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#ancilhoffmangolfcourseSupport 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!!

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.phpThis 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=GbYn9PH6oqPuMkacThank you so much for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!!God Bless You, and Thank God That Noone Was Injured!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!!

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!Hello again Fellow Golfists,I was in a twosome in a best ball tournament and my partner and I shot a combined score of 9 under par 58 finishing 2nd place behind a group that shot 56. The tournament took place at Davis Golf Course in Davis California which is a par 67 golf course.  I really tried to summarize what the experience was like because I have never been that successful at doing golf, ever.  The group had planned to be a foursome but 2 folks didn't show up and it was just me and my partner, Mr G.  We were told to play like a foursome.   I had a brilliant Saturday playing this course yet again, for my 3rd outing of 2024, at the same golf course on PGA Championship Saturday when Davis GC was really prepared brilliantly.  Greens rolled great, cups were great, and fairways were great.  It makes me think that golf courses might be in better condition when any type of tournament takes place.Thank you so much for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!Go to this episodes link in order to send me fan mail if you choose to do so.  I really would appreciate it because I am fascinated by where in the world someone who listens to this would be from.  Thank you. https://www.buzzsprout.com/1334887/15094198-tkg-ep-111-shooting-9-under-par-in-a-best-ball-tournamentGod Bless America!God Bless Our Veterans!God Bless Our First Responders!!  #vicegolf#theknackeredgolfistpodcast#davisgolfcourse#pgachampionship#scottiescheffler#1ironshortpar4     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,I really enjoyed watching the final round of The Masters with Mr Producer.  It was so awe inspiring to watch Scottie Scheffler win his 2nd Green Jacket at The 2024 Masters Tournament in Augusta Georgia.  His performance on that day showed me that he had a 15th club in the bag that gave him the confidence to be able to tackle any and every shot that was presented to him during the Final Round.  His patience and his ability to improvise on the golf course during that final round was better than anyone else in the field and set him up to have a dominant four shot victory.  Jim Nantz and CBS also did a brilliant job on their documentary highlighting Jose Maria Olazabal, before the final round started on Masters Sunday!!Thank you so very much for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.  Check out my latest video from the putting green at Sacramento National at the end of Masters Saturday with a new to me putter that I picked up with points at my local Play It Again Sports store.  https://youtu.be/ohl_8tuTzfw?si=dhcJjuFntmTTHw13GOD Bless You!  And thanks again for listening!!As Scottie's Caddie Ted Scott says, "You're stress is not my stress.  Love changes everything.  Love on people even when they are stressful.  Love on others and we'll change the world."  Matthew 11:28-30https://www.instagram.com/jtedscott/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, I watched a bit of golf last weekend and it was a great victory for Scottie Scheffler.  He got a new Taylor Made mallet putter and he was really rolling the rock really well at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and won the tournament at 15 under par.  I shared a bit of time with Mr Esch and viewed his huge golf collection that is up for sale on Facebook Market Place.  He has a series of videos highlighting the items that he has for sale in the Northern California / Sacramento region.  I think the NBC guys did a good job this week televising and commenting on the golf that is the buildup to The Players Championship next week.  I hope the winning score is below 10 under par, but I doubt that will happen.  Time change sucks.  Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.  Here is a link to Mr Esch's golf collection sale that I saw a few days ago:https://youtu.be/uUvZaihuKRc?si=vX2h1VV0dIiokcnDSupport 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, First of all, thank you for downloading and listening to any of my golf related podcast episodes.  I hope that listening to any of these golf episodes helps you thrive throughout your day in one way or another.  I try to be a bit irreverent and I try to tell it like I see it.  I got to visit a putting green on a Sunday afternoon in-between the final 2 NFL football games of the 2023-2024 NFL season while gale force winds were moving through south western Placer county on what should have been the final day of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Am Pro from the Monterey Peninsula.  In this episode, I share a bit of commentary on what I experienced while spending close to 2 blissful hours on a putting green on Sunday afternoon while practicing my putting stroke in gale force winds.  This was my way of  trying to practice with 2 new to me putters, a BeCu Ping B60 and a BeCu Ping B61 putter.  And also a Ping Pal 4 BeCu that I bought on OfferUp and a Ping Pal 4 BeCu putter that double TKG podcast guest, Jesse Parra, graciously sent to me.  I also offer a bit of commentary on the so called "West Coast Swing" on the PGA Tour.  Even though the winds at the Sierra Pines 9 hole golf course were ferocious I still enjoyed my time getting to know how these great putters felt in my hands.Thank you once again for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.  Please check out my YouTube Channel "The Knackered Golfist" and let me know if you have any questions or comments.     GOD Bless!#sierrapinesgolfcourse https://www.timbercreekgc.com/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, 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,Well I was practicing with a Ping Pal 4 BeCu putter at Thunder Valley Golf Resort and it went well.  I don't know if I cracked a putter code or anything but it sure seems that I was putting a bit more consistently with my Ping Pal 4 putter.  I also made a video of my session on the youtube channel.  Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist!https://youtu.be/_4HAsDdYHV8?si=hlGvqRCByuWZTkWBSupport 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 Golfists, I got to go out to the range on a Friday afternoon and shake down a new to me set of irons that I traded a bunch of putters for last week.  I got a new to me set of FORGED Founders Club Tour CB THE JUDGE irons that was 3 thru 9 iron and I picked up a Mizuno MP 9 Pitching Wedge that was in the single club rack at my local Play It Again Sports.  Separate from the MP9 PW, these clubs were designed by Jeff Sheets and they are in really good shape.  These are really good clubs and might be a bit too long for me.  What will I do.  Will I have to reshaft my pitching wedge?Thanks for listening to The Knackered GolfistPlease LIKE SHARE AND SUBSCRIBE!!   #golf #golfswing#golfdrivingrange#oughton'sgolf#jeffsheets#foundersclubgolf#mizunogolf#sacramentonational#hagginoaks#forgedgolfclubappreciation#algeiberger#mr59 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!!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, Well it was rare for me to actually have fun at Sacramento National on a night that had a gorgeous sunset, gorgeous moon, and a gentle breeze that kept things relatively cool on a Friday night in middle to late October 2023.  On this night I shared the time between hitting mostly fully dimpled Srixon Marathon Range balls with my Wilson Staff Goosenecks, new to me Ping Tisi driver and new to me Callaway S2H2 12 degree lofted driver and meeting some local golf club enthusiasts who let me try out a couple of their clubs.  I got to try a Ben Hogan Apex PC 6 iron and a Ben Hogan Director 6 iron both with the #4 shaft.  I have never had such a positive experience where actual golf enthusiasts actually wanted to chat about golf equipment.  It was almost like being at a Cars and Coffee event.  I also got to made a video for The Knackered Golfist YouTube channel and it was really fascinating to see how the footage turned out.  This is basically a 2 part episode.  Part 1 being the drive I had sharing golf news of the week driving to Sacramento National (2023 ZOZO Championship from Japan and the TalkinGolf Podcast Rise and Demise of the Ben Hogan Golf Company Complete Series) and Part 2 was me reflecting on a surprising grand night out at Sacramento National meeting some great golf club enthusiasts!  Many thanks to the folks that I met while making content for my podcast and my youtube channel on this night.  GOD Bless you for listening to The Knackered Golfist!!  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, 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 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!!#forgedgolfclubappreciation#theknackeredgolfist 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 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.Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!!   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 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!!Thanks 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 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!     Make your tee time for a visit to Laguna Seca Golf Ranch by visiting:www.lagunasecagolf.com    So easy to get in and out of, you know.

Hello again Fellow Golfists, I wanted to share a great weekend of golf that was the week of The Open Championship from Royal Liverpool at Hoylake and visiting the 3rd round of the Reno Tahoe Open which is also known as the Barracuda Championship from Old Greenwood Golf Course in Truckee California.  I had a great time visiting Old Greenwood last Saturday.  I followed Cameron Champ for the front 9 and it was an amazing time of seeing proper golf shots hit by proper touring professionals.  l also got to have my picture taken with a guy that has a really good mustache, second only to the reassuring mustache of Nigel Mansell. I also got to have a couple of shakedown sessions with my new to me Wilson Staff FG 53 Gooseneck irons from the early 90s.  One little bucket of range balls was at the driving range at Northstar at Tahoe in 95 degrees.  And the other was at the back of the range at Sacramento National  in 108 degrees.  Special shout out to my Uncle Mike, David Olivieri, and Jesse Parra.  Thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.God Bless You!!northstarcalifornia.com Ship your golf clubs at "Mail Boxes Plus" next to Raley's on Douglas Blvd in the Roseville Center in  Roseville California  So easy to get in and out of, you know.

Hello again Fellow Golfists,Just wanted to see what my Uncle Mike thought about this weekend with The Open Championship from Royal Liverpool.  It was great to chat with him about golf and what it means to him.  I enjoy his viewpoints and perspective regarding golf and it was great to be able to play golf with him when I got the chance at his home club at Willamette Valley Country Club in Canby Oregon back when I was a kid.  I think I watched far too much golf back during the US Open at LACC weekend and I think that I need to hit the road a little bit to visit the Old Greenwood Golf Course in Truckee California this Saturday.  The PGA Tour is making its yearly stop here this weekend and I finally want to see this tournament for the first time.  Old Greenwood is a Jack Nicklaus Designed Golf Course.  Hope you have a great weekend.  Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.     So easy to get in and out of, you know.

Hello again fellow Golfists, I got to play golf today after work and had a good day out at Davis Golf Course in Davis California.  If "No Laying Up" can have a "Tourist Sauce" golf video series watching and recording all of the thoughts, processes, and idiosyncrasies of golf rounds that those blokes take part in, I think it is ok for me to give a post round debrief and or press conference, if you will, to share things that I may have experienced and learned out on the golf course during an outing.  I enjoyed the course set up today at Davis GC and it was also good to get further acquainted with my 1978 Wilson Staff Tour Blade Musclebacks, my "new to me" Wilson Cary Middlecoff Autograph forged deep face blade putter, my Nike VR Pro sand wedge, and the Taylor Made Project (a) golf ball.   I had the privilege of playing with 2 really good golfers today as well.  Greg and Ken really were a joy to play with.  Playing with those chaps really brought out some great shot making in all of us.  I was thankful that I had brought enough backup drinking water to get me through playing in 100 degree heat.  And a special shoutout and kudos to the pro shop starter for allowing me to go back and complete the 5th hole today for my handicap after we had to skip it earlier because of slow play.   I recommend using "My Online Golf Club" for a free way to keep track of your golf scores, that can help you establish a handicap based on your performance out on the course.  http://www.us.myonlinegolfclub.com/ Check out the Forged Golf Club Appreciation Page on Facebook Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube #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,The 123rd US Open happened last weekend and it was troubling that many golf fans in Southern California were denied the ability to purchase regular grounds tickets to be able to attend the third major golf championship of 2023.  Numerous golf fans make major championships far more memorable and far more relevant.  If I lived in Southern California I would have wanted to attend and enjoy the US Open golf tournament at LACC.  The "lack thereof" of fans last week was sad and showed that the game of golf made a critical mistake of pushing aside the loyalty and dedication of many millions of golfers of all ages and of all backgrounds.   Thankyou for listening to The Knackered Golfist PodcastThank A Veteran Today!Respect Your Local Golf Course!!  Check out the Forged Golf Club Appreciation Page on Facebook Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube #theknackeredgolfistpodcastCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubeThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookThank a Veteran Today!!

Hello again Fellow Golfists,Well its US Open week and this year it is at the highly anticipated North Course at Los Angeles Country Club.  I have been looking forward to this tournament for a long time and now it's here.  Nobody has ever seen this golf course on television and from what I have seen it is a golf course that is unlike any golf course I have ever seen on television.  From a design perspective it is a masterpiece with a little bit of a sig alert on the 405 freeway.  I really look forward to watching this on tv this Father's Day weekend.  God Bless You Thank a Veteran Today!!   Check out the Forged Golf Club Appreciation Page on Facebook Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube #theknackeredgolfistpodcastCheck out The Knackered Golfist on YouTubeThis episode brought to you by the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on FacebookThank a Veteran Today!!

Hello Again Fellow Golfists,Well Brooks Koepka just won his third Major Championship in New York State.  He dominated on Sunday during the final round of the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill CC in Pittsford New York, just outside of Rochester.  He won with a winning score of 9 under par over Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler.  This marks his fifth major championship win.  A little known PGA professional named Michael Block from Arroyo Trabuco GC in Mission Viejo, California stole America's hearts and minds with his final round play yesterday finishing in 15th place allowing him to be exempt into the PGA at Valhalla in 2024.  His play on the back nine was written very much like a screenplay for a Tin Cup type of movie.  The roar after his hole in one on the 15th hole was very similar to a Buffalo Bills touchdown pass in the final seconds of an AFC Playoff game.  I had a good time watching the final round on CBS yesterday and also am thankful that they completed all of the play on Saturday during the rain to then finish on Sunday at the regularly scheduled ending time.  Very much looking forward now to the 2023 US Open at Los Angeles CC next month.  Thank you so much for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!Let someone know that you see them today.       Check out the Forged Golf Club Appreciation Page on Facebook Check out The Knackered Golfist on YouTube

Hello again Fellow Golfists,It's time for the 2nd major championship of 2023 and it is being held at Oak Hill CC in Pittsford New York.  I am looking forward to this championship unfolding this weekend.  I had a good drive into work this morning.  I hope that you have a good day and thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!GOD Bless You!Say "Hello" To Someone Today!

Hello again Fellow Golfists,It was great to be able to watch the final round of the 2023 Masters Tournament on CBS.  Jon Rahm won it by 4 strokes and put on a clinic keeping his head together.  Rahm was not rattled by anything other than maybe a little bit of slow play.  His ability to play Amen Corner EVEN par on Easter Sunday was magnificent.I hope to be able to complete watching the documentary that CBS made for Tom Weiskopf.  Mr. Weiskopf passed away in 2022.  He had runner up finishes at The Masters 4 times.  He won the 1973 Open Championship at Troon.  I remember watching him win the United States Senior Open at Congressional Country Club in 1995.    Thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist.  GOD Bless America! GOD Bless You All!HE HAS RISEN!!Its Time For The Knackered Golfist!!

Hello again Fellow Golfists,I got to watch recorded coverage of The Masters on Saturday and was entertained by it.  I also enjoyed listening to many interviews leading up to the start back on Thursday.  I wish that there was no rain but hopefully it will all work out for good tomorrow on Easter Sunday.  I am thankful to have heard the interview with Watson, Player, and Nicklaus after the ceremonial first tee shots back on Thursday.  They really made some good comments on the future of golf and how having a longer golf ball makes golf less enjoyable.  Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist.  Happy Easter!!GOD Bless America!!Its Time For The Knackered Golfist!!

Hello again Fellow Golfists, It's Players Championship week and I offer my thoughts on this tournament happening at TPC at Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach Florida.  This golf fan hopes that it stays firm and fast throughout the weekend with no precipitation making the course soft and sluggish.  It's a shot makers golf course that demands the player to curve and finesse the golf ball every which way he can while playing this week on tour.  It's the PGA Tour's Crown Jewel golf tournament; the 5th major of the year!  I also offer a few insights on a new putter that I picked up this week.  I cannot wait to be able to putt on the practice green with it after the rain clears out.  Thanks again for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.  

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!!  

Here are some final thoughts on the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am.  Justin Rose won on Monday and that was good.  Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist.  

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!!  

Hello Fellow Golfists, In this episode I am trying ListenApp and I hope that you follow me so maybe we can have ListenApp call in talk shows in the future that are devoted to hearing your comments or opinions of golf to you.  I have always wanted to be a radio show host and trying this helps me to gain experience.  I follow the podcast "If You Don't Like That" Podcast hosted by Grant Napear and I enjoy contributing to that show as well.  Grant Napear was the television voice for the Sacramento Kings for many years.  I also share a bit of what is coming up in the next 5 weeks on the PGA Tour in California and Arizona.  Thanks for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast !GOD BLESS AMERICA!! 

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
