I just wanted to pass on a little story that happened this weekend on the course. I hooked up with 3 guys I have never played with before. Two of them were in their late 50’s and the other was a son of one of them. One guy says to me on the first tee, “Wow, those persimmons look great. I can’t believe we used to play with them.” As the round progressed I started hitting most shots fairly decently for me. Then the comments turned into, “you’re mocking us with those clubs”…
But the reason for this post is that one of the guys said that he has a mint Ben Hogan Driver purchased several years ago that he can’t hit. He’s certain that it’s a persimmon (brown stain) and not the laminated version and he’d like to give it to me. He insisted that he wouldn’t take any money for it and appreciates someone who can play with one.
We’ll see if he comes through or not…But I thought it was a potential Birdie!
