Minion Guy

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I was allowed to pull my granddaddy's Haig Ultras around the Evergreen Golf Course circa 1966 when we would visit Colorado every other summer. No irrigation, oiled sand "greens", rubber mats for teeing grounds and at some point, an Astro Turf green on the first hole. It's a bit different these days. He was a teacher, and gently pounded Hogan's Five Lessons into me at an early age. I play off a four, been as low as a one years ago. Still have the Haigs. What do you love about golf? I love being outdoors, in any sort of weather, taking the beauty. I enjoy trying to decipher what the architect intended, what was already there and what was disturbed. I love the history of the game and the honor it demands of us. I love a scrappy muni track and a posh historic club equally. I love playing against the course and wishing well for my opponent. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I've enjoyed the unbiased reviews for many years. I think I recognize a few. Where are you from? What is your home course? Moved around the world all my life. Lived in New Mexico for nearly twenty years and am currently transitioning to a full time RV life based out of South Dakota. Spent many years in upstate & downstate New York. Have played most of my recent golf out of Twin Warriors and Sandia Golf Clubs in the Albuquerque area. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The southern Rockies are incredibly beautiful. They are also very windy in the spring! What do you do for a living? I'm retired! How’d you pick your user name? I like Minions! They don't dwell on negatives and stay in the moment!

- Mark - Albuquerque, NM - 4 - Callaway Apex-16 Pro, Rifle 6.0 - T100 I have come close to selecting, but have never gamed Titleist irons. Haigs, Staffs, Mizunos and Apex have been my gamers over a fifty year stretch. Each set meticulously fitted and occasionally reshafted. I would very much enjoy the opportunity to methodically test, record and share my thoughts and experiences with these irons. I have regular access to launch monitors.
