I listed one of my favorite clubs on eBay this a.m. Sniffle, sniffle, weep, weep. Here’s the description for it:

     Shhh….I don’t want my old friend, Baffler, to know that I am betraying him. Just call me, Judas. This really is like getting rid of an old friend. This was my first utility club. The loft is 22 ° which is about a 3 iron, but due to the mass of the head will carry further and really bores through the air. You’ll love it out of the rough. In season, I have a weekly match with an old college buddy of mine; he was delighted when I retired this club. He was tired of getting "baffled."

     I live in Virginia and typically play twice a week from April through October with a range outing between rounds. Usually, I regrip my clubs every season, so this Lamkin grip is in very good shape. Shaft is Cobra Ultralight R-Flex. Club face and sole shows use but in overall good condition.

     I am an avid golfer and take great care of my clubs. This club was relunctantly "retired" in ‘06 when I replaced my existing bag configuration (lowest iron I carry now is a 6) and "Old Baffler" at 22 ° didn’t fit the gaps in my bag, so he was "put out to pasture" in my garage. "Old Baffler" deserves better and longs for the great outdoors and warmth of a summer day. Baff, old buddy, I am sorry, but you know my daughter is now playing and how long I have waited for one of my children to share my love of the game. She needs new clubs. I promise I’ll find you a good home and someone who will rely on you as much I have. Good night, Sweet Prince.
