Yawn. My grandfather had one of these in 1957, it was copper. He passed it on to me as part of my inheritance along with his parking pass to Sportshaven. Bottom line is I haven’t used the club in a while, it only had 12 different options vs. this one which has 33, but the thing was money, especially on those 95 degree days in high school when your buddies are lugging their bags up a 550 yard uphill par 5 and you’re just chatting up the cart girl by the green explaining to her why you only have 1 copper club. I had no driver though, that was the problem. I was hitting 5 irons every shot. Anyway it’s only a matter of time before they implement this on the PGA Tour. I mean at least Tiger can’t blame his caddy anymore. “Hey Stevie, what club you think I should use?” “This one”. It’s just one less excuse after the knee, the ex-wife and he sucks.
Not a good blog. It reads as if Manzo basically wrote every thought word for word as it occurred to him in his head. Let's see how FMG shreds him a new one here. Note that FMG is in regular type, Manzo is in italics and my stuff is in bold.
Holy shit that was the least funny thing ever written. Not one joke in there. Let’s look a little more closely shall we?
Agreed. It was patently unfunny. But I'm pretty sure you could have just dropped those first two sentences in the comment section and went on your merry, wise-cracking way. I don't know how much closer we can look. Frankly, I'm afraid to look much closer.

An intelligent reader would take “Yawn” as an inference that this supposedly new golf club in the article is old news (it was copper is the single most useless piece of info in the history of recording info). So let’s see where our favorite geriatric blogger goes with his riveting story of this supposedly antiquated club?
Eh. Not much here. FMG sounds kind of dickish when he says "intelligent reader" and gets a little pretentious with the adjectives at the end, I guess. Whatever.
Bottom line is I haven’t used the club in a while, it only had 12 different options vs. this one which has 33, but the thing was money
Wait, what happened to the yawning? This club sounds like it may actually be almost three times more technologically advanced than Grampy’s “ole copper”. Now we are into the unfortunate area of self contradiction. Ah Manzo at least your joke count is at… ummm… nope, none yet. Well at least we know Gramps club was money right?
I'm picking up on a recurring theme of FMG's where he takes harmlessly ambiguous Manzo statements and twists them to support his own claims. We all know Manzo is a poor writer and part of that is an extreme inefficiency in communicating his thoughts to us. What he is saying here is "I had one of these trick clubs years ago, granted mine had 12 gears and this one has 33, but still, mine was the shit." So he's not contradicting himself in any way, shape or form here. This is FMG straw grasping at its finest.
I had no driver though, that was the problem. I was hitting 5 irons every shot
Oops, guess it wasn’t so money, but you just said it was Pete? I am so confused. Also I thought you said it had 12 options? Why are you hitting 5 iron every shot, and if you are THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST CARRY A FUCKING 5 IRON? Holy fuck does Manzo read what he writes? It is now officially blather. No connection between one sentence and the next, my head is going to explode.
Again, just mentioning a caveat that the club has no driver doesn't necessarily contradict Manzo's claim that his 12-speed is the shizzle. Stop it. FMG gets confused easily. Ok, so immediately after Manzo's sentence about the club having no driver he says, "I was hitting 5 irons every shot". He obviously meant he was hitting 5 irons off the tee. He meant to say TEE shot. So FMG's subsequent joke about why didn't he just carry a 5-iron is a horse-shit joke! What's worse is I bet FMG knows Manzo meant to say tee shot and he went for the joke anyway. Weak.
It’s just one less excuse after the knee, the ex-wife and he sucks
What is your excuse Manzo, why did you torture us with this drivel? You never made one joke, you contradicted yourself over and over. Did you really quit a job to write for a living? Are you a plant from the irony gods to see how long it will take before one of your readers actually kills themself?
Fucking Manzo.
Yup, you definitely could have just dropped those first
two sentences in the comment section and went on your merry, wise-cracking way.
Fucking Fire Manzo Guy.
