    Honestly, is their a gheyer brand than Nike? I didn't think so.

    Personally, I'd rather use a set of Hippo clubs than be caught dead with anything Nike Golf related in my bag!

    I play the Nike black and platinum when I find them on the course. Other than that I totally agree. Nike is evil for sports.

    Great post Omen, definitely worthy of 2000.

    Wow those Grand Monarchs look absolutely majestic. I'd put a set of those babies in the bag right now if they still made them. Even back then the class and quality was obvious.

    Spankie, I'm suing you for the terrible eye injury I've just suffered.

    They're burning, burning, gawd it hurts, somebody make it stop.... ah, geez, my eyes!

    On a more positive note, I think I used to buy copier toner from this guy.

    are the MP 57's really as forgiving as they say they are or are they just mp30s and mp60s remade?

    Pingman,

    You know what really pisses me off, everytime I read a post of yours?
    ...

    It is your lack of a basic 6th grade English class.

    Are capital letters banned in your trailer park, too, Pingman360? ...

    a: this is a online golf forum... not a grammar/english class... i know how to use proper english rules but its faster to type this way

    b: i'm not the one who banned you (i still agree with the banning though) it was JS...

    c: i dont live in a trailer park...
