I played on my Varsity team all four years in high school up in Michigan. Only the 3rd Freshman in my school history to earn 4 Varsity letters. 2nd Team All-State my sophomore year, All-state team my junior year. Our team won the State Championship my Freshman, sophomore and senior years. I used to hold the state record for Freshman low score in the 1993 Michigan High School State Tournament (74-77), not sure if its still my record. Earned full ride to San Diego State, red shirted freshman year, transferred to Michigan State University, walked on. Played the Big Ten pre-season tournament, and SEC Invitational, broke my arm the week after and never played NCAA golf again. I was a 4 handicap all through high school.
Driver: Cleveland Launcher 400 CC Regular Shaft
Callaway Warbird 4 Wood, grafalloy shaft (Basically a 3.5 Wood)
3-PW: Titleist DCI, Tru-Lite Rifle shafts. De-Lofted by 2 degrees
54, 57 degree Cobra Trusty Rusty wedges
BeCu Ping Anser 2 putter
and I rotate in either a Callaway Warbird 3-Wood (grafalloy shaft) or a Snake-Eye 60 degree wedge.
I aint going to lie, I was one hell of a player in high school and college. Probably coulda played some Nike Tournaments after college (now its called Hooters Tournaments I think), but probably never make it onto the PGA. I dont play as much as I used to, golf is an EXPENSIVE ASS SPORT! I was fortunate to live the Country Club life up in Michigan where I didn't pay for shit. Nowadays, I'm happy when I shoot 80. Rick Smith, from The Big Break on the golf channel was my teacher all through high school. I've played some of the best courses in the country, (The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island, InnisBrook, Pinehurst #2, Pinehurst #3, Medinah, Oakland Hills, The Bear, Blue Monster, Bethpage Black and many more). I've played with Lee Trevino (I won 2 dollars from Lee in the 10th grade), Bernhard Langer, Jesper Parnevik, Tom Kite and Duffy Waldforf.
Sigh, I miss when I used to be good. Golf is very frustrating to me now, I can't hit the shots I used to hit when I was in high school.
I'm down for a driving range session!
