My bossman was coveting a set of new Mizunos today. The dude was in anal obsessive compulsive frenzy over these irons and trying to decide how many smackers to drop. Me not being one to egg something on was like . . .

Dude if you really owned a set . . . you'd by the custom stamped, grind, and finish Mizunos that START at $1200.

So after giving him a huge rash of sh... all day. I roll into his office and tell him . . . I couldn't stand you being a punk all day and not buying anything. So I bought some irons. He was flabergasted because bucket = cheapskate.

How much did you pay man!!!!!

I told him a purchased a set of primo blades . . . for $2.32.

Yep that's right . . . I got some Macgregor Tourney Colokrum's for $2.32 . . . it cost $19.95 to ship 'em . . . The look sweet too! I got bids on a set of circa 50 to 60 Armours too . . . right now going for $9.95.

I'm checkin' into the OLD SKOOL.

For anybody interested in some sweet looking vintage irons . . . checkout

It's cool to see just how much the looks of the clubs haven't changed. I understand that the design characteristics are different. Backindaday they had really long ferrels and COG was towards the heel evidently. Now they have redistributed the weight on blades and supposedly they are much easier to hit. We shall see.
