The hosts discuss a time in golf history when even lesser-known players had their own signature line of irons. They hilariously pull up some deep cuts and debate which current pros would have similar signature clubs today.

00:00But back in the day, basically every man and his dog would have a signature Lion Iron.
00:05If you made a cut, you got a signature.
00:08I mean, you'd get your Tom Watson, Seveys, Nicholas Palmer, Sarazen, Patty Berg.
00:15I don't mind my first set of clubs, Wilson, Patty Berg's.
00:17You'd just get their signature scribbled into the back.
00:21Inscriffed, in cursive, yeah.
00:22Yeah, exactly that.
00:23But then you'd also get, and I found some of the most obscure ones.
00:27And I've got the obscure ones and what I think their sort of modern-day equivalent would be.
00:33The Spalding Don Fairfields.
00:35The Don Fairfields.
00:37So to give you some context here, Don Fairfield, he won three times on tour.
00:42Three times in four years on the PGA Tour.
00:44So essentially what we've got there is like the Bridgestone Gotterups.
00:48The next one I found, the Wilson Andy Bean signature iron.
00:52So I looked at his sort of record and he was a good player.
00:55But what his record is basically had a number of top 10s in major and won 11 times on tour.
01:02So an equivalent for that now would be the Brant Snedeker iron.
01:07That's what's happened to Brant Snedeker.
01:08He's had a number of top 10s in majors and won 11 times.
01:11I think it might be 10 for Snedeker, but it's about that.
01:14You all like the next ones.
01:16The McGregor Dick Mets.
01:19So he won 10 times on tour and he was a runner-up in the 1938 US Open.
01:26Yeah.
01:27So that's basically the Matt Kuchar iron.
01:30Do you see what I mean?
01:31Everyone back in the day had a signature.
01:34I'd have had one.
01:35Sorry.
