STAN THOMPSON "GINTY"

Summary:
I was raised in Canada, where every golfer had the "Ginty" in his/her bag....
The original "Ginty" had the pitch of a 7 iron, and got the "Average Golfer" out of alot of troubled "deep rough" lies.
I have owned at least 3 original Ginty woods and also had a complete set of Ginty woods which I enjoyed......nothing though compared to the original Ginty!

Louisville Stan Thompson Ginty

Summary:
The Ginty was developed by Stan Thompson
in the early 70s and was one of if not the original "trouble club". Several modifications were made in the head design to prevent delamination. A Ginty is a 7 wood head attached to a 4 wood shaft. This club is ideal for getting out of rough situations. The Ginty can be used to get out of rough, traps, divots and other unfortunate lies. A Ginty responds best to a smooth, easy
swing and will tend to veer laterally
with extra force. The very last Stan
Thompson Gintys are being made by
Louisville Golf this year. It is a
great club for the average golfer. Stan Thompson once defined the term ginty.
He said ""What does Ginty mean? It means the Son of a Scottish brood that keeps getting into trouble only to easily find his way out of trouble! Any other questions?" An historical website about
