  1. I love turning 16 in the 80's.. we still had access to all the good cars of the 50's and 60's for cheap.. and we were past the early to mid 70's when cars were crap.. What can i say, i owned 2 Mustang 2's.. All my friends had Early Mustangs, Camaro's, El Caminos, ect.. IN about 1988 I think.. We knew a guy getting divorced and had to sell his car collection.. I was Offered a 1969 Boss 302 All original mustang with about 25,000 miles AND another complete Boss 302 motor still in Original crate All for $7000... But back then it was "just a 1969 Mustang" and no banks would loan that much on a car that old at the time..  and about a yr before that The Body Shop my Dad ran had a 1967 Thunderbird 4 door, the owner offered me for $4000, this thing was loaded leather, console, suicide rear doors, and the cherry on top, the 429 Super cobra jet motor.. Again noone would finance a kid for that much on a car that old.. Just like this only White with black vinyl top. it had been sitting in the body shop for about 10yrs, the owner got a new truck and just parked it with 55,000 miles.. OMG it was fun.. just with I could have bought it.. and Not just drove it once..

  2. Ok I'll bite.. Beat this one.. 1974 Mustang 2 v6, Literally bought off a little old lady. she was hit in the rt front fender and it was totaled... My dad managed a Body shop and was a 50's era hot rod guy so we rebuilt it and I drove it all through High school. My next car was a 1975 mustang with a 302, it had like 150 hp.. I drove it 3 weeks, when it tossed a timing chain 🥲, So i did what every 80's kid that was into cars did, I built a 375hp 302 and shoved it in it.. turned it into a serious sleeper.. would do 14.1's in the quarter mile.. back than that was pretty damn quick.. this is not my car, but looks close, mine was corvette yellow with mag wheels and Black striping..

  3. I usually buy new, Which i have not done for a few yrs.. Hence the 4yr old clubs in the bag.. Have never played better, and still play consistently better than before the Cobras.. Prior to a few drivers mostly new, 1 exception was, I played with a guy in league who bought a brand new driver Taylor made Super Tri, that he used 2 rounds and 1 range session, and could not keep in on the course he would slice or hook it like crazy.. anyhow he offered it to me for $150.. So after i used it for a round and loved it i bought it.. 2 weeks later at league he brings the matching 3 wood, could not hit it either so he gave that one to me.. those are really the only used clubs i have bought.. 

  4. Great topic @McGolf, heck i made a mistake this season.. I installed New grips, no biggie, but i forgot to take into account the added weight of the Arrcos system. Fortunately i was able to get used to the higher swing weight.. But could have been real bad if I couldn't get used to it.. Also luckily I used air so if needed I can remove them easily..

    1) measure length, weight and size of EVERYTHING.. 

    2) use enough solvent and get the grips fully on.. Duh.. 

    3) ask for advice prior to if you have ANY doubts. This will save lots of time and money.. 

     

  5. First and Foremost I'd like to thank the Academy, My Family, and everyone else along the way.. Oh wait, my bad.. Thanks to all of you, the My Golf Spy community (the best on the Web)..  I plan on getting fit and will share my thought about that experience and the clubs with all of you.. 

    @Golfspy_TCB, Congrats I will be following along closely as you choose and get fit for your 2+ wood.. 

    As I said in the messages between Myself, @Golfspy_CG2, and all the Mods.. Thank you all for doing such a great job making this place the place to come and hang out regarding Golf, and our lives.. 

    And for @ole gray, @BIG STUand our Other Southern Brothers, I'm happier than a dog without fleas.. 🤣

  6. Played Sat. In Eastern WA, Played Rock Island golf course outside Wenatchee, WA.  Haven't played it in a long time..  Wind was howling, Did not score well, but hit the ball well, shot a 90. 41/49.. Had a couple of miscues, but pretty happy with Ball striking across all clubs.. Driving the Ball consistently in the 250ish range with a couple around 275... The biggest issue I had was putting, the greens were punched and sanded.. I had putts that ended up short, I had putts that took turns. I only made 2 putts outside of 2 feet.. If give myself 2 putts on Half the holes I 3 putted, Just half, I would save 5 strokes.. But I spent the day with my Father in Law Drinking beer and golfing... Sure as hell beats shopping with the wife and Mother in Law.. LOL.. 

    I was not pleased that the course did not give me a heads up when I made the tee time.. but Oh well still a great day..

    I’m actually hoping Drew Lock will pan out. I mean the guy has skills, but is he just too unaware? Hoping the few years will click for him.

    Geno on the other hand, can’t seem to get the look of never ending confusion off his face. Another guy with some skills, but he never “got it”, and after 10 years, his ship has sailed. Honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if he got cut.

    I agree, I think Drew Can do well if they actually give it to him.. Geno is WAY to scared while in the pocket, bails out way to fast. Like he watched Russ to many times bail and make things happen, problem is Geno is not Russ. 

  8. I am a diehard Seattle Sports fan. But before I had the seahawks I was a Steelers fan, No Judgement, it was before.. Seattle has a long time Standing Joke, that Seattle is the best farm system in all leagues.. hahaha.. DK is a beast, When he ran down Budda Baker to save a touchdown, that was insane.. I think Geno is all but done, and Drew Lock will be a so-so at best fill in until next years draft then we can only HOPE we hit on the next Russell Wilson.. There has been Plenty of talk on Seattle sports radio that Russ has been acting like a Diva if he didn't get his way for several years now. And that the Team is more of a team this training camp than anytime in the last 10 years.. Lets hope they can at the very least play football thats worth watching..

    I hear ya, I grew up in Edmonds and have been a fan of everything Seattle- although in California for the last 42 years. But still a fan for life-

    I no longer recognize the NBA

    Mariners are Great!!!

    I love Abraham too, but now very worried about Lewis- haven’t heard anything yet about his injury. I think Drew Lock will have to stink to high heaven to not get the starter gig. I actually liked Easons performance, guy has a cannon, but a little stiff. Needs more work. Carroll might be using Geno just to make sure we get the pick haha

    in true “suck for Luck” fashion

    Love Edmonds... An amazing lil town.. for perspective, I grew up in S. Everett, close to the mall.. Mariners are playing incredible.. Hoping Carroll see's that Geno is no Bueno, and gives Lock a fair shake. Eason looked good considering he get's no practice time with either the 1's or 2's.. 

     

    God speed my friend.. Go Hawks...

    yea…

    geno might have played his way out of the league, Drew having Covid, might have become the starter without ever touching the field-

    rookie left tackle had 5 penalties on his own… but he’s gunna be a keeper for 10 years easy

    back up QB might have played himself into the #2 slot as well

    the only really good thing I saw the Hawks do, was to position themselves for the number one pick at the next draft…

    Cross will be an animal when he calms down.. Abe Lucas went to school 10 mins from where I grew up, we used to umm... Party where his high school sits now.. LOL .. I think this season will be ok, not great, but not 32 out of 32.. maybe 3rd in the west.. If Geno stays on as a starter we'll be looking at the #1 pick.. God make the pain go away... I have lived through the Sonics leaving, the Mariner being crap for, well for almost ever.. I guess All I have left is Freddie, oh wait He's almost retired.. I need to drink more.. LOL

  11. A huge Thank you to both My Golf spy and Cobra for this amazing opportunity, this is why both are the best..
