it's that time of year again. time to donate to the "help ron buy a new set of golf clubs" fund.
why would you want to donate to the "help ron buy a new set of golf clubs" fund?
- because ron just broke the head off two golf clubs in his last round of golf (thursday evening). (picture
forthcoming below)
- because ron just spent a good chunk of money becoming a member to a golf club
- because the 2008 golf season is only just underway and lots of golf is yet to be played
- because ron's current set is several years old and needs updating
- because ron now does not have a 5- or 6-iron
- because you like ron
- because ron is awesome
so how does one break two golf clubs in one round?
- was it an outburst of anger due to poor golfing? no
- was it due to hard ground? no
- was it due to a miss hit? no
- was it due to a perfectly good shot and a freak accident? yes
the 5-iron broke when punching out from behind a tree and caught me by surprise. i looked at the ground afterwards and saw no divot, no tree roots, nothing. i chalked it up as a freaky accident.
then, i tee up on a 179 yard par 3, and use my 6-iron and hit a nice shot and the same exact thing happens. i look at the ground again and what do i see? nothing. the tee still in the ground as is, no divot, nothing.
the clubs broke in the same exact manner, clean breaks right at the end of the hosel. any ideas why?
