What’s In Tom’s Bag? | Thoughts from the Slighter Pro Shop

Now that we’ve all heard the story of Slighter Golf, we asked Tom to tell us what’s in his bag:

I personally have 5 Slighter putters:  First putter I made, the Slighter Seattle, the first Slighter Bellevue, the first Slighter Redmond, the first Slighter Ninja.

I now have my dad’s Slighter Seattle (2nd Slighter putter made) proudly displayed on my desk.

I play Mizuno Grads (4-PW) I purchased new in 1993.  I just freshly installed KBS Graphite TGI 95g regular flex shafts in my irons.

Taylor Made M3 driver

Callaway Steelhead Plus 3 wood, 5 wood, and 7 wood

Cleveland 797 BeNi 56 degree wedge and Cleveland 797 BeNi 52 degree wedge

 

If you could pick any group of golfers, past or present, to spend a day with on the course, who would you choose?

My father, Dr. Rev. Alfred R. Slighter, Sheldon Howard, Neil Howard, and Greg Bishop.

Tom’s Top 5 Favorite Golf Courses & The Best Game He Ever Played | Thoughts from the Pro Shop

Today we sat down with Tom and asked him about his Top 5 Favorite Golf Courses – and of course we asked him about the best game he ever played. 

 

My Top 5 Favorite Golf Courses are:

Golf Club at Newcastle (Newcastle, WA)

Just a beautiful golf course.  Owned by a well renown Japanese American business man – an inspiration to me

Salem Golf Club (Salem, OR)

Great memories with my dear friends Sheldon, Neil, and Greg.  Thanks to Danny Moore the Head Pro

Highland Hills Golf Course (Greeley, CO)

My dad’s favorite course – love you dad.

Legion Memorial Golf Course (Everett, WA)

Many, many rounds.  Place where I purchased the first Cameron putter I sold on eBay.

Battle Creek Golf Club (Salem, OR)  – CLOSED 2007

Place where I learned how to play golf with my best friend

 

The Best Golf Game I Ever Played was …

I shot a 73 at Salem Golf Club. 

I shot a 35 one under par on the front 9 at Boomerang Golf Course in Greeley, CO.

Now we want to know, what was the best game you’ve ever played? Any favorite courses you recommend Tom to play next? Let us know in the comments!

Can a Putter Change Your Game? | Thoughts from the Slighter Pro Shop

Choosing a putter should not be a scientific endeavor, but more of a fun and exciting event.

Leave the science end of building a putter to us here at Slighter Golf.  You should be excited about using your putter every time you pull off the headcover.  We all know the saying, “drive for show and putt for dough” but many of us seem to neglect the most used club in our bag – the putter.

If you are golfing at least once a week you should seriously consider a custom putter.  Not so much a collectors putter worth thousands, but a putter that you can adjust to your stroke and stance.  Simple adjustments to a putter can help your putting tremendously.

Adding a custom putter to your bag builds confidence, enjoyment and productivity. Can a putter change your game? It can definitely change your mindset and approach to the game – so the answer is yes!
