Has anybody else named one of their clubs???  My Ping Anser putter has been named "Mrs Kensington"... the name came about this summer after a few "refreshments" on the course and the resulting Austin Powers immitation I was doing after getting some heat for loosing my "MOJO" (put a few Nike Mojo golf balls in the same lake) ....  am I alone in naming a club????  If not what names have fellow Golfwrx members used and what is the background on its naming???

The only time one of my clubs gets a name is if I miss-hit a shot

[hef63303]

I have called my clubs some names, most of which that can not be repeated in most company, but I have never named one. Here's to your courage for admitting this in this forum.

My hybrid is named Big Brown after the thoroughbred horse.  I won a bunch of money on one of his races and used some to get the hybrid a couple of years ago.  It started out as a joke and then it stuck.

[bubbagump]

If cusswords count as names, yes a few times lol

[Ghost_Orchid]

My 20* MP FLI-Hi is called Big Blue because of its blue shaft.  Its the only club in my bag with a name.

[Stinger82]

Nope don't name my clubs but all of us that play together have nicknames for each other...I am Stinger (made the mistake of telling them I love to hit the 3 wood stinger off the tee), one buddy is Deeznutz (he got pulled over back in high school and the cop, who was a real piece of work, asked his name and that is the name he gave him and the cop wrote it down looked again and tore the paper up LOL, another guy is Pretty Ricky, and the other is Bigfoot (he has giant feet and walks all over everyones line!!) Good times

[sooperstring]

I play an AP1 4-iron (AP-2 5-9) that I call "Das Boot" because the head is so huge compared to the rest of my irons.

[profsmitty]

Buddy of mine's putter (an old Ping of dubious parentage) is called "old ugly" by everyone who's ever seen it.

You have watched new jersey drive too many times.

[mikedejong]

I have a buddy who has one of those massive ping Doc putters. He calls it doctor nick from the simpsons... Its pretty funny. Another buddy named his driver the chief.

[DavePelz4]

I play with a guy regularly who is honestly a better golfer than I am.  But...in any kind of competition he folds.  We usually play a $25 Nassau.  With his last lost I bought a new 60 degree wedge which is now known as the "J" wedge.  His first name is Jeff.

[omeletpants.]

/facepalm. This is an embarrassing thread

[mkay]

My 4 iron is named 'the one' because I made my first and so far only hole in one with it

I don't even know what you're talking about...that scenario actually happened. He is a member here but doesnt get on much. I will see if I can get him on.

How has nobody in this thread mentioned ben crenshaw and the trust putter he used from the time he was like 16.....one of the most famous putters of all time?!?!?!?!? i cant believe it wasnt like the first one mentioned..............LITTLE BEN!!!!

[PINGWRXforeme]

When I miss a makable putt my dad asks me if "scooter" is misbehaving today. He also calls his ball "whitey"

[dsparob]

My wife calls the putter she used in junior and college golf "Flo"...

[profsmitty]

Seems like a fellow named Jones had a putter he named "Calamity Jane".

...and I always thought my Superquad TP would be the driver Darth Vader used, though I never named it officially.

[Mike_C]

I have an old hickory shafted putter I got from my Grandpa, never really used it, but a friend of mine actually did, I think he even used it once in a US Am local qualifier back in the day.....  We joked around and did call it "Billy Baroo"......



The thing had the loft of about a 2 iron though, partly because it's shaft was warped....and an original leather grip that was nailed to the shaft....

[HoosierHacker89]

It would be silly for people to name their clubs on here. I mean what is the point of naming a club that is only going to be around for like 2 weeks.
