  • 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.

Accompanying him early in December 1923 were his wife and a chauffeur, who drove the Hagens' Cadillac southward from Philadelphia to St. Petersburg. It was Hagen's first automobile trip along the Atlantic coast, and he immensely enjoyed the scenery, especially in the Carolinas. He had traveled the same path many times by railroad but found that it "did not compare in any way, shape or form with the motor car" as a means of transportation. After he arrived in St.

In the passage Jones said : G olf has been c a lle d "the most human o f games" and a "re­ flection of life." One reason that we enjoy it and that it challenges us is that it enables us to run the entire gamut of human emotions, not only in a brief space of time, but likew ise w ithout measurable damage e ith e r to ourselves or to o th e rs. On the golf course, a man may be the dogged victim of inexorable fate, be struck down by an appalling stroke of tragedy, become the hero of unbelievable melodrama, or the clown in a side-splitting comedy—any of these within a few hours, and all without having to bury a corpse or repair a tangled personality.

  • How Pinehurst's George Dunlap Jr. and Sr. Mastered the Worlds Of
    Little Big Men How Pinehurst’s George Dunlap Jr. and Sr. mastered the worlds of amateur golf and publishing By Bill Case PhotograPhs from the tufts arChives y 1912, 48-year-old publishing magnate George Dunlap had become addicted to golf. Hoping to share his newfound passion with his 3-year-old son, George Jr., father purchased a tiny blade “putting-cleek” for the boy from Wanamakers Department Store in New York City. George Sr. was elated when his son promptly swung the club with gusto and surprising rhythm in the backyard of the family’s winter home in Pinehurst. But something in George Jr.’s motion looked awry. Suddenly George Sr. realized that the little tyke was swinging the miniature club left-handed! BWhen Donald Ross got wind of George Jr.’s portside tendency, Pinehurst’s expert on all things golf was aghast and recommended immediate corrective action: “For God’s sake, don’t let him do that. Take his club away from him if necessary!” When the boy persisted in swing- ing southpaw, George Sr. followed Ross’s advice and hid away the putter. Two years passed be- fore George Sr. dared give his son another club — a wooden right-handed driver. Fortunately, the little boy adapted to addressing the golf ball from the “proper” side, and cured of the perceived ills of left-handedness, was soon knocking shots from the hedge at neighbor Commodore Newton’s La Casita cottage toward Column Lodge, the Dunlaps’ home. Fearful of impending broken windows from the curly-haired redhead’s neighborhood play, George Sr.
