Today’s post takes a look at one of the great finds of my golfing career: SMT Golf.

I’m not sure exactly how I found SMT. I wish I could remember so I could tell you. However, what I CAN tell you is that I am very happy I found them.

You spend the rest of your time with the club avoiding any possibility of scratching it or knicking it because you spent WAY too much money on it.
