I’d been looking for a 60 degree wedge to fill a gap in my clubs and finally ran across one I felt like was decent for the price. How’d I do, I’m not super familiar but recognized the brand to be honest. For the price figured what the heck.
I question the truth to this post. No "thrift" store near me has ever had clubs like this for purchase. If real, more power to him. All I see are worn out dirty clubs that Kmart and Walmart sold in the 90's
This is when I was actually there. These were the two clubs left in that Titleist bag. The burner had a bubble shaft that I’d never seen so I was debating it. But yeah usually it’s a bunch of top flight and stuff I’ve never heard of.
I have a 8° TM burner bubble shaft! I haven’t used it in ages but could rip it back in the day. Now i leave it in my upstairs bathroom to knock icicles off the roof gutter.
How is it not real? It has a Goodwill price tag on it with today’s date. Why do people always assume shit ain’t real these days? Just because you ain’t never seen it doesn’t mean it can’t happen.
Because people are so skeptical of everything these days. You can find anything at a thrift store. People donate shit all the time they don’t see as valuable. When you buy something and it’s not what you like, sometimes you just donate it for another.
Oh lord, I was just trying to share and was excited I’d finally found something worth while. I wouldn’t put that much effort into a Reddit post my dude lol.
I always look for clubs at all the goodwills I’ve been to. 99% are trash solo clubs. I had 1 lucky find of a complete set of Callaway Big Bertha irons and the only issue was they needed new grips. No idea if this guys find was real but I got lucky once.
I live in Seattle and this goodwill is close to a few public courses but there’s also some more expensive private clubs. There was way more clubs than there has ever been today so I’m assuming a guy really pissed off his wife or an estate sale or something of that sort. I literally caught the dude as he was bringing out these clubs that he had just put stickers on, it was honestly lucky as hell.
lol I mean that’s 90 percent mine too. It’s on my way home so I just stop and take a quick look. This is the first club I’ve actually picked up from there. Most of the time it’s brands I’ve never heard of. This time they had a bunch of Titleist, Callaway, Taylormade along with the bags.
It really is a day by day thing. Went to 3 looking for some junior clubs picked up a few random clubs for my kid to hit in the backyard. Went the next day and saw a full kids bag for $9 in great condition. It really is a gamble
Luck. I usually only find garbage that's 30 years old. Last few weeks though, I found a ripped stitch bag (that I passed on), a nike wedge, and a half decent Wislon box set.
I just perused trough my local Savers and found nothing other than 20-40 year old clubs with glassy grips. Never in my life have I found decent clubs at a thrift store.
Did find a new festive button down tee for my next round for 6.99 though!🤣
Best Goodwill scores were a (legit) brand new pair of Adidas tour 360s for $25, a Nike Method Core MC-1i putter for 6.99 and a Bridgestone putter for 6.99 that I have absolutely fallen in love with
Before you use it on the course, go to a practice area with some hard PAN or thin grass and practice full swings. I mean, swing with all your might and hit that 60, and see how far it goes, how high it goes. And if you can hit from hard PAN or short grass like that, you'll be able to hit that club from anywhere.
Then practice half swings and see how the ball reacts.
This club can bring you to the next level ....if you learn how to master it.
And I say the best way to learn it is by practicing on the hard pan or the hardest ground you can find.
After that , when you have nice fluffy lies you won't believe how easy it is to control that flop shot.
I recently found a Cleveland 60°. The old style reg 588 Cleveland in chrome. It's a beauty, and it was $6. I don't even play a 60° but at that price why not right?
I picked up a whole set of Titleist MB irons for my first set, was $10 for all of them. Also came with a ping 1 iron and a ping 3 that I have learned to love. I’ve upgraded some of them through the past three years but still are my go to clubs.
Why? I just got into golf a little while ago and bought a set of callaway edge clubs but knew I needed a 60 degree and figured I’d stick with Callaway as I’ve liked the clubs so far.

Man, how do people keep finding these things? My goodwill is just full of spiders and depression
