Livingston III xii INDEX FORWARD INTRO cmyk 4/11/08 4:50 PM Page xiii Chapter Title FOREWORD The creation of “Playing Hickory Golf” by Randy Jensen is a great new resource that will finally bring much needed information to people seeking info about our growing hobby of hickory golf. Personally, I couldn’t think of anyone better to write such a book than a great hickory player and my good friend, Randy Jensen. Randy’s book dispels much of the misinformation that exists about hickory golf and presents an outline for the average golfer who would like to get involved playing with vintage wood shaft golf clubs. When I first started playing hickory golf, I wasn’t aware that anyone else was even playing with them. Hickory golf was still in its infancy. The first event that I played in, the organizers were essentially keeping score by counting the combined number of clubs broken by the participants! These early organized events were mostly played in a scramble format, but they were great fun and created the opportunity for players with a common interest to convene. Randy and I first crossed paths during a long driving competition that took place during my first Golf Collectors Society annual meeting in Ypsilanti, Michigan in 1994. We both were in the long drive finals won by Micah Bosman with Randy finishing second and I, third with a measly 274 yarder. Later, we would get to know each other in depth when we both arrived early to play practice rounds at a hickory golf event. I re-introduced myself, and we went out and played. During our round we talked about our respective interests, foremost of which was seeing the game shift from “Hackers” to “Hickory Championships”. A partnership was formed. “The Player” and “The Equipment Geek”, a perfect match of skills for the time. As a result of that meeting, Randy became one of the primary people that pushed me to create www.hickorygolf.com, the first website to deal exclusively with playing golf with vintage hickory shaft golf clubs. At that time, the vast majority of hickory golfers were playing once or twice a year with unrestored hickory shaft clubs. The heads were loose, the shafts were warped, and the grips were slick. Little attention was paid to the playable condition of the clubs, the various makers of those clubs, or to the respective quality of the clubs. I like to think that Randy and I had a big hand in changing those perceptions with our fully restored sets designed to be played on a daily basis. From my golf equipment xiii INDEX FORWARD INTRO cmyk 4/11/08 4:50 PM Page xiv Hickory Golf background and a great bit of luck, I came to realize that the Tom Stewart irons were consistently the best playing irons produced during the wood shaft era. In a very short time I had a basement full of his finest examples. Randy acquired a full play set of Stewart irons as well and today the Stewart made irons have become the most sought after among the elite hickory golfers of the world. Today there are so many hickory golf events you would not be able

  • Elmhurst Golf Club
    Elmhurst Golf Club According to World Book, more than 26 million Americans play golf every year. There are 16, 000 golf courses in the United States, and 70 courses in DuPage County. Golf had an early beginning in Elmhurst. A nine-hole course, known as The Elmhurst Golf Club, opened in 1900. The 70-acre course reached from Grace Avenue west to Quarry Road (later renamed West Ave.), and from Elm Park Avenue north to Alexander Boulevard. The clubhouse, designed by Prairie style architect Walter Burley Griffin, was a gathering place for people of all ages to play golf, eat, play cards, or enjoy the view from the broad porch. The course was a popular social center with a full calendar of dinners, luncheons, dances, parties, and 4th of July fireworks. An invitation to a 1923 dance referred to "Elmhurst The Chummy Golf Club." The clubhouse had sleeping accommodations for non-resident members who wished to spend the night on golfing weekends. According to a membership application, the course had sufficient hazards, natural and artificial, to make the course one of the most interesting and sporty in the vicinity." An early score card, dated 1901, lists each of the nine holes, its name, distance, and bogey. For example, Hole Three, known as The Sandpits, was 328 yards long and bogey was five strokes. In 1905 the annual membership fee was $25.00. In 1919, however, there was an additional $2.50 charged for a War Tax. By 1924 Elmhurst was expanding, and land for residential construction was in demand. So a new, eighteen-hole golf course was laid out in Addison.

  • 2200 Year Old Mathematical Theory Combines with Space Age Computer ® Design and CNC Manufacturing to Produce the Putting Arc
    2200 year old mathematical theory combines with space age computer ® design and CNC manufacturing to produce The Putting Arc . Now you can feel, see and learn the Perfect Putting Stroke. Learn the 'arc type' stroke used by the vast majority of the modern day touring pros. For a 'Quick Start' and simple instructions, go to the back page. The Putting Arc works because… 1. It is based on a natural body movement which can be quickly learned and repeated. Results can be seen in several days ... thousands of repetitions are not required. 2. The clubhead travels in a perfect circle of radius R, on an inclined plane. The projection (or shadow) of this circle on the ground is a curved line called an ellipse, and this is the curve found on The Putting Arc . 3. The putter is always on plane (the sweet spot/spinal pivot plane). The intersection of this plane with the ground is a straight line, the ball/target line. (See Iron Archie - page 11) 4. The clubface is always square to the above plane. It is only square to the ball/target line at the center line on The Putting Arc . You are learning an inside to square to inside putting stroke. (See Iron Archie - page 11) 5. The lines on the top of The Putting Arc show the correct club face angle throughout the stroke, including a square initial alignment. This concept is as important as the arc itself , and it is a patented feature of The Putting Arc . 6. In this perfect putting stroke, there is only one moving part.
