      Woods:   Driver -  7 degree Taylor Made Burner clone made with tlc
                         by Gene Kelley.  I love it!

                  Right handed Ram Zebra (See for sale topic)
    
      Balls:    Use to play Titleist exclusively but now I've found that
                most of the balls on the market today are harder to
                differentiate and of higher quality.  Too expensive though,
                so I've been happy playing balls I find in the woods.

    from .4 to .10
    my 1958 Macgregor Tourneys - I've got the whole set! 1,3,4,5 woods
    2-SW (no PW) I reshafted the 5 wood with an Aldila HM-40 and put some
    lead under the sole plate to bring the swingweight up.  I also put a
    wrapped calfskin grip on it - my pride and joy.  I reshafted the irons
    with Dynamic Golds and had them rechromed but the old forged blades
    aren't as forgiving as my newer Tourneys.  The other woods haven't
    been touched but I have some plans for them in the future as I've taken
    up club building and repair as a hobby in the last few years.  They
    were a gift from my father-in-law who bought them new in 1959 as left-
    overs.  Great set of sticks but I can't hit them very well.

    end of the hobby be sure you have tons of experience befor you lay one
    finger on those macgregor woods. Pleeeaaassse. I have a couple of woods
    at home that i have trashed. start with some scruffanutters.

1422.18It is in the bag!CTHQ2::OCONNORMon Jan 20 1992 17:3122

Tour Model II 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, pw, sw, 60 degree wedge (Ping clones)
Pederson sw
Titleist Bullseye standard blade putter
Dunlop & Titleist golf balls
small colapsable umbrella
golf glove
club cleaning brush
bag cover
band-aids
shoe laces
tees
ball markers
ball mark fixers (extras for those that do not haveo one)
lip balm

and, usually a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or two, just before going to 
play.

1422.19A "Nit..."MRKTNG::VARLEYMon Jan 20 1992 19:3010
    Re: .6 - I left out one detail:
    
    Glove - Neumann calf or Foot-Joy "Weathersoft." If you haven't tried
    the latter, you're missing out on a good thing. Quite a bit cheaper
    than the "Sta-Soft" and it feels as good and lasts longer. IMO, the all
    time best glove was the old "Star-Grip." Wore out like a Kleenex, but -
    what a "Feel." I finally woke up and realized that at my level of play,
    I should consider cost effectiveness a bit when buying gloves...

     Oooh, you people are really getting into detail.   Here are additional 
   product plugs.....


     Bag      -  Sun Mountain (Light, comfortable, durable)
     Shoes    -  Etonic       (Believe in supporting the local economy)
     Hat      -  Baseball     (For the Mark James look and to cover bald spot)
     Glove    -  None         (Hands are cheaper and easier to maintain)
     Cart     -  None         (Enjoy wrecking the shoulder and back)
     Shirt    -  Varied       (The looser the better)
     Sweater  -  Izod         (For the yuppy look)  
     Rain Suit-  Yes          (Added this year, since the last 5 times out, it
                               has rained.  The sun will now probably shine 
                               every round this year.)
     Pants    -  Yes          (Shorts, almost never. Legs are an accredited

     Socks    -  Yes          (With holes)
     Jock     -  No           (As long as Golf remains a non-contact sport)   
     Rulebook -  Yes          (1976 - Rules were less complicated then)

- 2 smashed Oreo cookies

- 1 dried up apple core (courtland I believe)

- 1 black banana peel (chaquita medium ripe at the time)

you can see the key to my game, food and plenty of it!  Clubs?  Hey, it don't
really matter - as long as the flex is right and the grips are new and fit
your hands.
