Greetings from Niagara


Recommended Posts

Hey folks,

 

My name is Dave, and while I've followed MyGolfSpy on instagram and twitter for some time now, the recent Power to the Player videos got me following a little closer over the last few weeks.

 

I've been golfing since I was 8 or 9, hit a real serious stretch in my early 20s when my handicap was in the single-digits before kids and career had me playing only a handful of rounds a year. That career, for a short time, included traveling and writing about the tour.

 

I'm definitely a tinkerer -- I got into paint filling last year and I'd like to start putting together a little shop of my own for shafting and regripping. Happy to find a place that loves every aspect of the game that I do.

 

Also... how do I add manufacturer logos to a signature??

Where do you typically play in Niagara? I heard there's some great courses in the area to check out

I play all over, and there is definitely a good course-per-capita ratio here. Legends on the Niagara, Whirpool (an old Stanley Thompson track,) Grand Niagara (when I can afford it,) Thundering Waters, Sawmill... there's a lot of options

I'm from the Niagara region too, currently live in Hamilton but grew up in Welland. Grand Niagara is an amazing course. Peninsula lakes is another great one. Niagara on the lake is one of the oldest courses in Canada it's got a lot of character

Welcome to the site!  I'm also a garage tinkerer.  I've been putting together my tools slowly over the past couple of years and just added a vertical belt sander for shaft prep and ferrule finishing this winter.  Now I just need some more clubs to build!

Fantastic. Can I ask what you've picked up for equipment? Did you buy new? Used?

I've got most of my stuff from golfworks.com  First thing I got was a swing weight scale and then last year I added a shaft extractor.  This year was the vertical belt sander.  That's the big stuff.

 

Little stuff I've just gotten as needed and over time.  Rubber shaft clamp, various tip weights, ferrules of choice, epoxy, metal ruler.  Then stuff I already had on my work bench like a vise and air compressor.

 

The big stuff that I've found useful is the swing weight scale and the shaft extractor.  Those are the things I can't do by hand without the appropriate tool.  Some day it would be cool to have a loft & lie machine, but those are expensive and it's all just personal use so it's not cost effective to get one.  Plus I have a buddy that has one.
