JIMSLITA Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 As in "Me lurve you Long Tom" perhaps? Bizarre!

Sandy Koufax Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Perhaps, as a history buff, I can shed some light: I believe "Long Tom" was a nickname for a certain howitzer used by United States forces in the Korean Conflict.

TWShoot67 Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 That's funny my wife usually asks for my Long Tom silver snake..... well when she's in the mood ...which is probably as rare as we'll see this name being used in a golf club advertisement.

duncanbmcg Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 This is intriguing, but Cobra did in fact once have a club called the Long Tom. I found this pic of one. Maybe they are resurrecting the name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.J Bosley Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 The name came from Tom Crow the founder of Cobra from Oz. He worked with my father in the 60's when they both started in the industry with one of the main club companies at the time Precision Golf Forgings (PGF), Boz.
