  • 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.

  • Another Scot Strikes Lucky
    FLYING DIVOTS Another Scot strikes lucky • Not all activities at The Open were centred around Gary Tusler James Timmins Chris Chapman golf, as witnessed within the extremely liquid' marquee manned by members of the Golf Club Stewards Associa- tion. One such activity, which raised a splendid sum for the charity SPARKS (Sportsmen Pledged to Aid Research into Crippling Diseases) was the draw organised by Northwood GC steward, Peter Walsh. The good news, notwithstanding the funds raised, was that Willie Blair, secretary of the East of Scotland section of BIGGA, won THE CANDIDATES first prize, a full set of Sundridge carbon shafted golf clubs.
