Got to hit balls at Sacramento National on a cool autumn Saturday evening and got to experiment with being toe in and toe out in my golf stance.  Put up my most recent videos on @theknackeredgolfist on YouTube.  

Thanks for listening and Happy Birthday to a frequent TKG NEWS contributor!

Came out to Thunder Valley National at Whitney Oaks and had a good session putting with only 1 putter.  My Wilson Tour Special III with new MVP putter grip.

Stopped in at Sacramento National to use the putting green and it ended up being like I was watching an episode of Seinfeld or Curb Your Enthusiasm.  

I couldn't believe what I saw in a discount bargain bin.  

I am glad that I tried a new new MVP putter grip on my Wilson Tour Special III putter: 

Here is a link to the grip I bought on Amazon.

Drove out to Bodega Harbour Golf Links to putt on their putting green and make videos with my restored TeI3 putter.  

Enjoyed the cool weather and thinking out loud about putting and the special feeling in the hands.  I might have to convert to another golf ball after this visit.  Thinking of the trying the Srixon Q Star Ultispeed.

Commited more putter adultery when I was out collecting on a hot Saturday in August while missing the Holiday Inn Championship on the PGA Tour.  

I think any off brand milled putter is better than most mass produced putters.  Even better than any stainless steel ping putter.  

Saw and heard the Ferrari 599 that was parked at a used dealer on the road after leaving Sacramento National.  

Hope you’re well.

Got to play Hiddenbrooke Golf Club on a Friday after work in June 2026.  Had a delightful time playing with Sam and JR.  I really enjoyed meeting and playing with them very much.  God Bless those gentlemen !   

I then also had a moment of clarity on the back nine when I had a Lee Trevino swing thought.  It was from his clinic where he explained the relationship between the top of the left hand and the clubface.  I then had PARs on the last three holes at Hiddenbrooke !

Roger Dunn golf shops could be , at least on the west coast of the USA , the model for the modern day golf super store.  That business concept was new to me when I moved to Southern California in the mid 1990s.  Used to spend hours in the West Covina location on Friday afternoons just learning about equipment and hitting balls into nets.

Got to reminisce about a Saturday in October of 1992 that I carried the leaderboard for Bob Charles.   Sir Bob Charles is a golfing legend from New Zealand and it was a huge honor for me to carry the leaderboard for him during his 2nd round.  He won the Raleys Senior Gold Rush the next day.   Then won the next week in 1992 at The Transamerica at Silverado.  Caught a new video from the R&A documenting the legacy of Sir Bob Charles.
