Good video m8. My grandpa used to make us cheese and jam sandwiches, it was an army thing from the war: still love them, cheese n strawberry jam ❤

[@fatgolfscotland]

@chrisodonnell3363 just wrong lol I do remember however that your grandpa bought you your first ever golf club, out the catalogue I'm sure. Think it was a proper 3 wood mind you at your age it was probably a hickory

[@chrisodonnell3363]

@@fatgolfscotland yes a 3 wood: think my dad was more delighted than me when it arrived 😂

[@chrisodonnell3363]

Had me panicking at the start of the video when you said you were stripping it right back, thought here comes another restraining order!

Jam+cheese? That's a hard no from this American! LOL (although I'd like to introduce you to the perfect sandwich: peanut butter + jelly)

[@fatgolfscotland]

@SortaLikeGolf Peanut butter and jelly which is jam over here, I've never had that combo before but will make one up and take out to have whilst making my next video. Could be the start of something here lol

My first clubs were driver, 3 wood George Nicol 2/4/6/8/10 irons and a hickory putter, my father gave them to me when he payed the 2 Guineas to make me a junior member in 1964 when l was 11. Played with them until l got to single figures when l was 14. I carried on using the putter until l turned pro, then used an original ping anser for many years. I am using a putter now l have had for over 30 years and it still holes it’s fair share.

@@robertloder5380 wow That's an amazing story Do you have any pictures to share of your clubs. What is it like being a pro golfer

[@robertloder5380]

@@fatgolfscotland no unfortunately as the clubs were traded by my father when l got my first full set. A set of Slazenger plus, thin as a razor blade as most clubs were in those days. My mother has the original putter somewhere in her attic. You may be interested that in 1972 l tried a Wilson staff driver with one of the first granite shafts, tried it on a cold November morning and the shaft shattered into pieces as l was later told they were experiencing problems as some shafts were constructed around a solid circular mould and others were just layered on a steel core. These shattered for a pastime, years later mcgregor started using aluminium shafts, ok if your swing speed was about 80 but l managed to bend everyone, keep up the vids and it is nice to see your still lower than your son. My son’s handicap is just lower than mine but l still love playing especially as he still can’t beat me. I’m in my 70’s now play as often as l can and just love it still. Even beat my age a few times a year. If l am up in your area l will give you a call.

Grafite not granite although they felt like it at the time, how things have changed

[@robertloder5380]

@@fatgolfscotland not sure you got my second message. Unfortunately apart from my original putter everything went when l got my first full set of Slazenger plus. It’s hard being a pro especially in the 70’s as there was not the money about like today. However if you have a work ethic and confidence in yourself it goes a long way. I was lucky to have the backing of my family and to start with l had good bosses who helped a lot. One was an old Ryder cup player who taught me about handling pressure, never about how to play as he said everyone w swings differently. As long as the basics are sound. I played competitive golf for a few years then had a serious car accident that put paid to playing at the highest levels. I did get back to + 4 in my 40’s but drifted out to 3 now as lm in my 70’s but occasionally get it going. If l get up your way l would love to meet up. Keep going with the vlogs as l always enjoy them. Best regards Rob
