Subject: why I hate 1-iron golf clubs..... (humor!)

I love my 1-iron golf clubs....but here's what I hate about them. With traditional clubs I was always struggling just to get my shots into the air, much less hit a green from any further then 125 yards or so out. Now I'm unhappy if I miss from 190. I used to carry 14 clubs in my bag, but couldn't hit more then 7 or 8 decently. I purchased David's driver, 3-5-7-9-11 woods and 2 thru lw, and can hit them all as well as my 7 iron and 7 wood. I'm more consistent, accurate, and longer. That means I now have 17 clubs, and constantly have to struggle to decide which ones NOT to carry. Now that I have found the finest golf theory on the planet, I actually have to blame myself when I make a mistake, usually mental. And now the greatest of all indignities....I have lost my driver and lob wedge. My father in law tried out my driver several weeks ago, then borrowed it for a business outing. He hit every single fairway....and he has now taken my driver hostage, and refused to return it. This past weekend my brother (brother in law, actually) had forgotten his lob wedge, and borrowed mine three times during our round. He chipped in on # 6, then actually holed out from 60 yds on # 15! I've been informed that I will never see it again!!

Ok, now it's true that my brother is going to order a full set from Mr. Lake, my father-in-law has already done so, and it's true that my problems are good problems to have, but really.....I'm losing clubs here!

So, maybe I better quit bragging on David's incredible advancement in club technology??? Naw, true genius MUST be recognized!

David, I love your clubs........but I HATE the effect they're having on my bag of sticks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly,

Roy "Skip" Cline

Great humor.

If you are selfish like me though, you walk sofly and carry a big stick. I don't tell anyone about my one iron clubs that I meet on the golf course or play competitively with. Plus noone has noticed the consistent lengths of clubs as of yet. I try to not have more than one club out of the bag at any one time so they remain stealthy.

I guess this does not help David Lake get any business from my golfing associates but I try and make up for it by posting positive comments on this forum. Plus with all of my golf winnings I can afford to keep buying new clubs from DL.

Skip,

I am sorry about your dilemma. I was just trying to help golfers play better, not lose golf clubs.

Thanks,

David

David,

We know that's what drives you, and respect you for it and appreciate it more then you know!

Chuck,

Well, the humor is well intended, because I find it in almost every situation.....but actually, they really did keep the clubs!
