Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's the Golf show on the ticket talking with guys
from MK Golf. The finish up the subject about the
tariffs and the cost of golf clubs, and Keith, you
brought this up during the break. A typical box set
of golf clubs. You're going to have the four through
the gap wedge, so you're buying eight nine clubs. I
don't think anybody probably over fifty and some may be
(00:26):
over forty, probably needs a four iron anymore. Maybe I've
gotten rid of the five iron. I go six through
pitching wedge. I've got two gap wedges and then the
sand wedges and stuff, and so at MK Golf you
can buy the set the way you want to. And
even some golfers i've seen now are buying game improvement
clubs and like a five and a six and a
(00:47):
seven iron and a more players club and the eight
nine in the wedge just to make sure they're spacing
is right. But also the difficulty of hitting a five
iron that may be a blade club as opposed to
a wedge. It's a bake a blake club. So you
can certainly offset the cost if you're only buying five
or six clubs instead of nine or ten.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah, like we were talking about, I think everyone at
the table agrees that, you know, four or five years
from now, golf clubs will cost more than they cost
to day. That's just unfortunately a fact of life. But
there's some strategies that you can employ to help save
some money. And we do fittings all day, every day,
and very rarely do we fit someone into a four iron.
(01:27):
You've got to have enough speed and enough launch to
be able to get it off the ground and hit
it consistently, and so there's really no reason for most
people to carry a four iron, and it's not uncommon
for people to not carry a four or five or
even a six iron. It really just depends on the person.
So a lot of times you can end up saving
a lot of money that way. And I highly recommend
(01:50):
to anybody you know. They don't tell you this, but
there's a lot of times four or five, six different
shafts that you can throw in an iron, multiple different
types of grips, you can customize the club from loft,
lie length, swingweight, anything you want to do that makes
you better, and it doesn't cost you any additional money,
(02:12):
and everything is per club. So we had a junior
in the shop the other day and I fit her
and she walked out with eight clubs because that's all
she needs. You don't need to go buy a full
set off the rack and spend fourteen hundred dollars on
a set iron.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Just especially when you're maybe ten to eleven, twelve years
old and you're just learning the game. By the time
you're fourteen or fifteen, if you're proficient at the game,
you're going to be faster, you're going to be more athletic,
you're going to be more coordinated, and that's going to
require a change then, but you can kind of graduate
into that.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And I fit a gentleman yesterday and he's improved a lot.
He came in a year ago and he was in
a game improvement set. He's played multiple times a week
all year long, and he's picked up a lot of speed,
much much better golfer. So he went into a different
set of irons, but we stopped at five iron and
we had kind of ascussion about does he need a
four And I said, well, hey, here's the deal, keep
working at it. We have all your specs, and why
(03:06):
don't we just kind of see where you're at in
a few months, in six months, and if you want it,
we can just add that four iron at a later date.
If you feel like you need it but don't waste
the money, now, let's go with the five iron. If
you feel like there's too much of a gap, we
can add the four later and that'll save you a
little money. And if if you do need it, well,
then you're in the same spot anyway. So yeah, I
would highly recommend to people to not just settle for
(03:29):
off the rack. There's lots of other things you can
do to save money.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
And customize it from every club in the bag. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I think one thing too about the shop the fitter
is there there are you know, former college players, you know,
and they're all accomplished players, and they understand they've all
been junior players all the way up to the college
ranks and and and then you know, for example, Collins,
you know, he's Colin has tried to qualify the texts
open several times.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
So they're accomplished players. They understand the game, you know.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
They're not just like rack guys that go out there
and say, oh, you need a full out of clubs,
you know, three iron through whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Well, and they Also, I think the one thing that
beginning golfers, and especially if you're a beginning golfer at
thirty years old, you don't understand. Kids have imaginations that
older adults sometimes don't. If you're starting off a kid
starting the game at twelve and an adult starting the
game at thirty six, that thirty six year old is
going to be more rigid usually in how they play
(04:23):
compared to the twelve year olds. Is going to go
out and try stuff and kind of experiment with things.
But you do need to know what the physics of
the golf club are and how they work. How do
you hit a cut shot, how do you hit a
hit a draw? Why is the ball going for too
far left? And I've gotten to a point where the
most part when I hit a bad shot, I know why.
I know what I did or didn't do to get
(04:43):
it to where it went. But a lot of times
when you're playing you don't know that. And to be
able to understand the physics of it when you're getting
fit is really important. All Right, I got my master's
rejection letter last week. Me too, Yeah, me too? Yeah
I didn't you didn't apply this year?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
All right? So none of us are going to the
Masters again unless we go an alternate way. But yeah,
I don't know what it takes to win that lottery,
but we got to figure that out a little bit.
Every time I from from about the first of June
until now, because they're playing another event at Trump into
Aberdeen that's on the DP World Tour. Every time I
(05:25):
turn on the TV the last six seven weeks, I've
seen a golf tournament, tournament played either in Scotland, England,
Wales or Ireland, and every time I insist that I
don't want to go back because it's too taxing and
it's going to be too tiring and it's a lot
of walking, Like, yeah, I think I want to go back. Yeah,
I want to go back there. I'm just saying when
it's not blowing forty Yeah it wasn't. We were there,
(05:45):
Yeah it was. It was a rough day.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
But yeah, I thought that the course in Wales, which
the name is we're called Fourth Call, that's right, that
looked like a really good golf I've heard it really is.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Yeah, there's a couple of golf courses that are there
that in Wales. Wales has become and they're cheaper too,
they're not a lot cheaper, but it's four hundred in
Scotland for a golf course that maybe two fifty theres,
So there's a little bit of a break.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And in Ireland, when you're planning your Island trip, if
you're going to the courses in Northern Ireland, the rates
are in pounds, and if you're going to a turn
of a golf course in Ireland, they're in euros, and
the euro is a little bit closer to the cost
of the dollar. The pound's a little bit more expensive.
So a golf course where you're spending pounds, you're going
to spend a little bit more money. Yeah. So well,
(06:35):
I would love to go.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Waiting to go to Ireland when when our friend that's
from there goes over there, but he actually went over
there recently. Then he decided he was by himself, and
he decided, you're going to go to London during the
during the when Wimbledon was there. He got on some
kind of dating app and found a girl and she
took him to Wimbledon. Then he found another girl and
(06:58):
took him to some other place. Then he found another
girl and took I can't remember what that place was,
but Dade redmand he went found three different girls and
took him to three different fancy places. Perfect you know,
and uh he called sharing and told her the whole
story and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
And he's like he's living a good life. You know.
He comes home just like started a new job. You
think Ken Bradley's a writer cupp er. Is he just
going to captain? I don't know. I hope he just captains.
He's playing really well right now, Well he was, he
didn't play very well. He still he didn't play well Wyndham.
But see, I think the players want him to play.
(07:33):
You think they want him. I think the players want
him to play. Yeah, and it's going to be.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
They have a lot of the they have a lot
of guys who look like they're going to make the
team without much experience of the writer.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah. Well, I think the one that you're going to
have to keep an eye on is Chris got her
up because all of a sudden he's become a potential
captain's pick because of his recent play. But how well
he will play in the Writer Cup is to be determined.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I understand from a very good source that he is
a very very very good.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, yeah, I think people went to Oklahoma? Did he?
I didn't even know that last year. I didn't really
he went to Oklahoma, dude his final year. Yeah, finally yeah,
probably you did get any he was on it. He
he was an io perfect. That's good. That's good. I
really didn't know that anyway. Oklahoma, come on.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
Keep Yeah, you played a rut here for four years
and then first from the northeast he went. Yeah, then
he went to Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
