About Us

Discount Clone Golf ClubsCollectively we've been golfers for just short of 100 years and mighty rewarding and well spent years they've been.

The youngster of the team, Andrew, has been golfing since age 9, although he did waste a good few years on things like school, exams and university. Now 45, he plays to low single figures and is about as good an iron player as you'll ever see. Can suffer with a wood in his hands though, usually when I "suggest" the green is just out of reach.

He's a tinkerer and a BIG shaft person. Probably knows more about shaft reaction than anybody I've ever come across, so a good guy to know when you're looking for a change of shaft.

He's one of those guys who doesn't really care what it says on a club.

He's only really interested in how well the club works for him. Pretty good attitude to have. Best described as a "grinder", even on an off-day he can usually grind out a fairly respectable score.

  • Favs: Shaft Design. He can quite hapilly spend a week-end reading shaft specs and about the same amount of time explaining the finer points of shaft design to anybody unfortunate enough to be within hearing range
  • Favorite Players: Mr Ben Hogan, Lee, Jack, Seve, Tiger, Phil, Ernie and Anika
  • Pet Hates: Slow Play

I'm the old codger of the team. Paul's my name and at age 78, I can still knock it around in high single figures. Steady is the name of my game. Yardages have dropped a bit over the years, although at my age, stuff dropping is more or less the norm.

My short game is as tight as ever and benefiting from higher spin balls. I don't hit the ball as hard as I used to anymore, so spin balls designed for lower swing speeds have helped me a lot. I make my scores from being consistent. Not too many mistakes and I can usually rely on my short game to bail me out if things do go pear shaped.

My putting has always been solid and a source of constant four letter muttering from Andrew as I tend to hole long putts pretty regularly. Jam Strangling B*****d is one of his favorites, along with some other juicier examples of his seemingly endless supply of ways to describe my lucky putting. Funny thing is, the more I practice, the luckier I get, as the bunker uber-maestro Gary Player himself once said.

  • Favs: Anything short game related. I don't hit any bombs anymore so the short game is where I get my scores. Wedge design, chipping, pitching, putting
  • Favorite Players: Jack, Tiger, Arnie, Ernie, Gary, Anika
  • Pet Hates: People who don't play provisionals when their shot might be a lost ball

Modern equipment and in particular shaft design means I can still get pretty decent yardages. Senior and even Ladies flex shafts have helped my yardages stay respectable and as long as it works, I don't mind playing a bright pink shaft in my driver. Scores cards don't have any pictures on them, just the bottom line.

This website is by golfers for golfers. Anything to do with golf interests us and we enjoy sharing our findings with the rest of the golfing brotherhood.

We really hope you find this site interesting and look forward to seeing you here regularly.

May all your balls be long and straight and the rough out of range.
