GOLFERS: What's in your bag?

Yes, Boozer, I actually did start with hickory shafted clubs in about 1957. I couldn't afford a set so I borrowed them from a guy who didn't play much. For about 30 years, someone in the golf industry came out with a new gimmick every year. One year it was a reverse twist in the shaft to counteract torque and was sure to improve your accuracy. It didn't. So I've always said "It ain't the arrow, It's the Indian". But it's not that way anymore, it's the arrow. I hadn't played in about 10 years when I played a few times with Herzig. I was amazed at how much distance those oversized drivers created. I could hit Greg's driver 30 yards farther than my Big Bertha Warbird.
