Happy Friday! We all go through the vicious cycle of golf equipment - you get a new club, you fall in love with it immediately, but after a while the “honeymoon phase” fades away. Next thing you know, you’re on GolfGalaxy.com at 2am shopping for a replacement. Not only does it make the game harder than it needs to be, but it’s VERY expensive! Modern equipment is built to last, so build trust in those babies, and after a while, you won’t be able to imagine parting with one. Jack Nicklaus did just that with his 3-wood…

Listen to Jack’s story below!

Jack Nicklaus Had the Same 3-Wood in Play For HOW LONG?!
Jack Nicklaus really didn’t like switching clubs

From 1958 to 1995, Jack Nicklaus was known for playing the same 3-wood… and he only re-gripped it once 🤯 . Truly a mindboggling feat, especially considering it was persimmon! This can be a great lesson for all of us to learn - sticking with the same clubs and learning the tendencies can develop long-term consistency.

Let us know - what is the longest you’ve kept the same club in the bag? Is it still there?

This Amateur Has Eagled (almost) Every Hole at Pine Valley
A birdie on every hole is crazy…but an eagle?!

Buddy Marucci, a long-time member at Pine Valley Golf Club in New Jersey, is a local legend for his all-time accomplishment - in his time at Pine Valley, he’s made an eagle on 17 out of the 18 holes on the course, which includes 3 holes-in-one! Put it this way - if he did a career best-ball with himself, he would shoot a 35….on EIGHTEEN HOLES!
