    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.

    From Earth to Art: Customer Addenda

    From Earth to Art: Customer Addenda The World Wide Web has revolutionized the research process. What was once a slow search through printed material can now be done in seconds electronically. Most of the material found in researching this book was done the traditional way, but since the introduction of the Internet a great deal more in- formation continues to surface. The original list of Maddock and Scammell customers was formed using traditional methods, rang- ing from printed materials to searches for china at antique shows, yard sales and thrift shops. In recent years, eBay has become the principal source of information about additional customers of the Lamber- ton Works. A weekly eBay search under Pottery and Glass for “hotel china,” “Scammell china,” “Trenton China,” as well as a search under all categories of just “Scammell” or “Maddock” will often result in a new offering to add to the customer list. eBay can be even more useful in identifying all of the mystery logos that have already been found. Monograms, coats-of arms, Native Americans, famous people, scenes and names in unusual lettering styles can ofter be linked to their owners by searches ranging from “hotel matchbook,” “hotel enve- lope,” or “hotel advertisement” to such things as “hotel key tag” or “hotel soap.” Using “club,” “yacht club,” “restaurant”or other words results in an even broader range of possible Lamberton Works cus- tomer identification. This addenda lists additional Lamberton Works customers that continue to be identified since the book was completed, as well as any new information about Maddock Pottery, Scammell China or the Lamberton works that is discovered.

Rodman was the son of John Wanamaker, founder of the Wanamaker’s Department Store. Some of the amateurs present that day were Francis Quimet, A.W. Tillinghast and John G. Anderson. Wanamaker’s imported golf equipment from Great Britain and sold it at retail to the public in their stores and wholesale to the golf professionals. The Wanamaker family thought that if they could help or- ganize the golf professionals it would aid the growth of golf in America and create more customers for their com- pany. Rodman Wanamaker offered to provide a trophy for a PGA Championship and $2,500 towards the purse.
