fbluhm Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Glad to come aboard - looks like a great group to belong to. Have been playing golf most of my life; got my first set of clubs from PING founder Karsten Solhiem as a birthday present. I retired as a corporate media chief. Before taking on that role, I worked in sports television - ABC, CBS, NBC Sports, and Monday Night Football, and took on assignments for the AP and UPI wire services. Golf has always been a passion of mine; I look forward to engaging other members in conversations dealing with all aspects of the sport. As a side note: I've ordered the new Hogan irons, and hope to take possession of them in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbluhm Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Thanks, appreciate the reply. I see you're from Columbus. Probably shouldn't talking to you since I'm a Michigan man Actually Central Michigan, to be exact. Glad to see Ohio State win the championship and make the Big Ten (or whatever it is now) revenant again. So much for the SEC. Best to you, "ties," and keep in touch.

Kenny B Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Welcome fbluhm! Hope you enjoy the forum as much as I have. Great guys, great conversations. I am a little envious of your Hogan purchase. I have 5 SCORs and would really like the Hogans to fill out the irons, but I need to try before I buy. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred OH man...how quickly friendships end haha. I'm actually excited and hopeful M******* can get better. The rivalry just isn't the same as it was. It was be great for both the rivalry and the BIG10 for them to get better. p.s. - Michigan is a BEAUTIFUL state. Love going upstate.

fbluhm Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Kenny: good to hear from you. Speaking of your SCORS - Don't know if you know this or not, but the main man behind the introduction of the new Hogan irons is Terry Koehler, the man behind SCORS wedges. He also worked for Ben Hogan while the company was still making clubs. My best, Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also worked for Ben Hogan while the company was still making clubs. My best, Fred Fred, yes I have been following Terry Koehler for quite awhile. I bought a 54 and a 58 over a year ago, and then revkev and markb did a forum test on the SCORs last year, and as a result I bought a 50, 46, and 42. Love them! If you haven't read the form test yet, check it out. There are several threads about SCORs, but the results of the test has led to several MGS'ers buying them. I am sure I would like the Hogans as well, but I need to see if the SCORs and the Hogans "feel" the same. As soon as I find a fitter close, I will make the trip when they are available. Love San Antonio. Been thinking about a visit down there with all the Texas guys on the forum. Maybe someday! “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbluhm Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Kenny: I hear what you're saying. With all the options available out there, like SCORS wedges, you know that there's a lot of hype attached to the Vokey wedges. Cleveland is an excellent brand, and is probably better known for their wedges than clubs. Kind of like Adams is better known for their fairway woods than irons. Don't know much about Hopkins wedges, but I think the company is slowly getting a share of the market. When more fitting locations are available, I may try out the Hogan wedges. Who knows? I took advantage of the early ordering of the Hogans, so I'm one of the first 1,000 to get them. I'm going to make a point of voicing my opinion on golfspy after playing with them for a while. I'm sure there are some others on this site who will also be getting some, too. Took basic training at Fort Lewis a 100 years ago.

Kenny B Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah, that's on the rainy side of Washington. It's beautiful about 8 months out of the year, but I don't like playing in rain. I live on the eastern side of the state in the desert, and can play golf all year long. Not much rain, very little snow....usually. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
