  • Playing Hickory Golf While You Piece Together a Vintage Set
    CHAPTER 10 cmyk 4/11/08 5:13 PM Page 165 Chapter Title CHAPTER 10 Questions And Answers About Hickory Golf Q: How much does it cost to get started in hickory golf? A: You can purchase inexpensive hickory clubs for as little as $25 each. Obviously, these are not likely to be of a premium quality and will probably require work to make them playable. At Classic Golf, we offer fully restored Tom Stewart irons for about $150 each with a one-year warranty on the shafts against breakage. Our restored woods are about $250 each for the premium examples. So, a ten-club set with two woods would run $1,700. A 14-club set would be $2,300. This compares favorably with the purchase of a premium modern 14-club set where your irons are $800, your driver is $400, fairway wood $200, two wedges at $125 each, hybrid at $150, and a putter at $200 for a total of $2,000. Q: Can a beginner or high handicap golfer play hickory golf? A: Yes. That is how it was done 100 years ago! It can be an advantage starting golf with clubs that require a more precise swing. Q: Are there reproduction clubs available and are they allowed in hickory tournaments? A: Reproduction clubs are available from Tad Moore, Barry Kerr, and Louisville Golf. Every tournament has its own set of rules. The National Hickory Championship allows reproductions because pre-1900 clubs are so difficult to find and are very expensive. At the present time there are ample supplies of vintage clubs available for play, but this could change with the increasing popularity of hickory golf.

  • The Golf Course Architects of Park Ridge
    THE GOLF COURSE ARCHITECTS OF PARK RIDGE The Story of the men who shaped the Park Ridge Country Club Golf Course PREFACE When the game of golf and its golf courses had their beginnings in the United States in the late 1800s, there was no such thing as a golf course architect per se. Virtually all of those who “laid out” the rudimentary courses on which the game was played were players of the game, some professional and some amateur, and they continued in the dual role of player-designer. It wasn’t until the second decade of the 20th century that golf course design began to separate itself as a singular career, a career that blossomed into the glorious title of golf course architect in the “Golden Age” of the 1920s. The primary designers (architects) of the Park Ridge Country Club golf course followed the early pattern. H.J. Tweedie was both an active player and course designer until his untimely death in 1906. Tom Bendelow was the first to emphasize course design over playing as he traversed the country laying out courses. In 1918, William Langford became the first Park Ridge architect to form his own course design firm. David Esler was formally educated in landscape architecture. He interrupted an early career as a golf course architect to take a stab at professional golf, but quickly returned to form a course design company. The objective of this document is to provide additional information about the careers of the course architects who formed today’s Park Ridge golf course.
