  • 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.

Change, Continuity, and Golf's Battle of the Century By Stephen R. Lowe, Ph.D. Associate Professor of History 1 One field of sports history that has yet to be cultivated is that of American golf. Remarkably, historians have even neglected golf in America's so-called Golden Age of Sports, the decade of the 1920s. These years witnessed the transformation of golf from an esoteric, aristocratic pastime to a popular participatory and spectator sport. In fact, the country's golfing population was approximately 250,000 in 1916, but by 1925 it had climbed to 4.5 million as private and municipal courses increasingly dotted the landscape. With the emergence of the sport came two of the most colorful, popular, even adored athletes of the decade, Walter C. Hagen and Robert "Bobby" Tyre Jones, Jr. Hagen and Jones competed against each other in a number of medal tournaments (mostly U.S.

A clubhouse with a large porticed front is planned and was designed by Thomas W. Cauldwell ’81. Daily Princetonian, January 10, 1901 The January 1902 issue of Golf Magazine contained a feature article on the new Princeton Golf Club written by “The Editor”. This feature article describes the new golf course at Princeton in detail.It’s defenses include multiple Cop bunkers as well as swampy areas which must have played in and around our creek The description of the nine hole course includes 6 crossings of the creek. 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 Here is a Photo of the 1901 Princeton golf team which includes Percy Pyne and Hugh Wilson. 48 1902 Source unknown, February, 1902 49 In March of 1902, Hugh Wilson is captain of the Princeton Golf team. Daily Princetonian, March 13th, 1902 By late March of 1902 the course is cautiously and partially open.

As things stand the Princeton Golf club has only opened nine of the eigh- teen holes originally planned by Willie Dunn, Jr. and the Greens committee back in 1900. Financial constraints have to be why work was never completed on the eighteen holes.
