viking Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) 1. May parents bought me clubs individually from Eaton's dept. store (largest and oldest dept. and mail order catalogue store in Canada). Started out with a Jack Nicolas aluminum shafted 9 iron (best club I ever played, so light lots of tamper bumps started 3-4 inches then to .5 inches apart with a leather grip). Then a Spalding 2 way putter with leather grip and a 7 iron Campbel with leather grip. Then got a 3 iron Campbel (same as the 7), then a Spaulding 3 wood (real wood, black head, natural face, rubber grip), then a Campbel 5 iron with a rubber grip and finally a Campbel Driver (real wood, red head, natural finish face with a red plastic insert in the sweet spot, rubber grip). Used that as my 7 club set for 15 years. 2 & 3. My first bag and cart were made by my Mom and Dad. Still have the cart somewhere. Painted a 3' x 1' rectangular box sky blue white (used as the bag), and made a wooden cart painted it red with white wheels and a red plastic D handle from a shovel. It worked great as it had large wheels from an outdoor toy wagon. We have 16 1/4 acres so my Dad and Mom and I made a 9 hole golf course on our land when I was 8. Have a natural creek splitting it in half, planted trees, cut the whole property with a Ford 9N tractor (later a Universal D350) and a 5 foot mower and the greens with an Eaton's Viking 8 hp lawn tractor, later a John Deere RX 72 8 hp 28". Mom and I made a sign called it "Badger Hole Golf Course" because we have Badgers on our property. Had 8 foot tall flag poles painted white and my Mom sewed all the flags red, even had a practice green in our yard with one 8 foot flag pole. Those were great times, remember them well, cherish them wit my parents. My parents would play occasionally with me my cousin and uncle also played on the course.

Middler Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 My Dad bought me a junior set with D, 3W, 3i, 5i, 7i, 9i and a putter - no idea what brand, probably came with a bag, not sure.

viking Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Did you start with 7 or 14 clubs? Did you buy a whole set or build it gradually?

Tap In Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Ram box set with stand bag. The whole set probably cost $150 at the time. I broke the heads off the 7i and 4i on the driving range within 6 months. I got my 2-wheel pull cart at a yard sale for $10. It has lasted for 11 years so I think I got my money’s worth on that one. Recently the plastic parts have started to give out so I am looking to upgrade this year.Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Quote WITB: 0811 Prototype Driver: (10.5 / s-flex) Sub 70 Pro Tour Fairway 3W (15 / s-flex) 0341 Prototype, 5W (18, s-flex) 0311, 4-PW, (+1/2" / +2 up) ProjX LZ 6.0 0311 wedges, 52, 56, 60 degree Impact No.3, Putter 35" Dexterity: Right-handed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveP043 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I think I started with a set of Sam Snead Blue Ridge clubs, maybe an partial bargain set of some kind. At some point I bought a fancy new putter from Austad's, a brass heel-and-toe weighted thing. In high school I moved up to Golden Ram irons, pure muscle-back blades. In college, while employed at a local golf course, I bought a set of Titleist woods, Driver, 3, 4, and 5-wood. That's most of my early-years equipment purchases.

Firebird Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Too long ago to remember what was my first set of clubs, however when I moved to Aussie I stopped playing for 10 years and the first set I bought here were Slazenger Fireball. In fact I still have them including the laminated woods. Bought them from Simmo at Victoria GC. For the price they were impressive. Bag was Wilson. Cart was just a cheap folding type.
