The Knackered Golfist Podcast

<p>This golf enthusiast has been addicted to golf since I was 8 years old, that's 40 years to you and me.  Always trying to get the best deal on forged golf irons before they are all gone.  Classic forged irons are really what get me excited about hitting golf balls the way they were intended to be hit.  That goes for classic putters and classic persimmon woods too.  Golf is far too expensive and it doesn't have to be.  Golf can be participated in for far less money than what you think.  Golf equipment, golf balls at the range, golf outings at the local muni, outings at upper echelon golf courses, and maybe attending the infrequent PGA Tour tournament.  <br /><br />I started the Forged Golf Club Appreciation page on Facebook. <br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/424396784801087/<br /><br />I also make videos The Knackered Golfist on YouTube.<br />https://www.youtube.com/c/theknackeredgolfist<br /><br />And I am on Instagram. <br />https://www.instagram.com/theknackeredgolfist/?hl=en<br /><br />Thank you for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast!!</p>
