  • 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.

  • Inaugural Version Of
    Inaugural Version of September 12-15, 2018 Message from The Centennial Chairmen Glenn Brander & Jeff Haar rentwood Country Club has a surprisingly long history. In fact, in 1916, Brentwood’s first 9 holes B opened, and one year later, its second 9 holes opened. Over the past several decades, Brentwood has hosted many great member-guest tournaments, most no- tably The Brentwooder. The Brentwooder has provided our members ONE opportunity each year to play alongside a guest of their choice in a meaningful, highly competitive, match play tournament. The Brent- wooder has long been, and will continue to be, a premiere tournament at Brentwood Country Club. In the past several years, as our competitive golf culture has grown, our Brentwooder tournament has sold out with a wait list. And so, many of our members were shut out from playing in the tournament. A realization set in that there was clearly an appetite from our membership for competitive, member-guest tournament golf, and one event a year wasn’t going to satisfy this appetite. It has long been a desire of ours to tie our club’s rich history, our heritage, to a singular, annual event. It was clear to us that the event needed to be a member guest tournament, one that doesn’t compete with The Brentwooder, but instead compliments it. The tournament would occur at a different time of the year, and with a format that differed from the Brentwooder’s match play format. With all of this in mind, a tournament sub-committee was formed, one that represented a healthy cross section of our membership (young-to-not-so-young).

  • (2005) Wallace “Wally” Triplett
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 27, No. 4 (2005) Wallace “Wally” Triplett: Struggling for Success in the Postwar NFL By Jim Sargent In the nineteenth round of the National Football League’s annual draft in 1949, the Detroit Lions selected Wallace (Wally) Triplett, a “triple threat” all-around halfback at Penn State University. But Lions coach and general manager Alvin “Bo” McMillin could not be sure his number 19 choice would accept, since no African American player had yet signed as an NFL draft choice. Triplett changed that perception. Not only did the Pennsylvania native have the personality, character, and mindset to defy the odds in pro football, then considered a white man’s game, he also possessed the skills, speed, and toughness necessary to carry the ball and block on offense, defend against the run and the pass, and return kickoffs and punts. Although he played only four seasons in the NFL, Triplett earned a place in the league’s history. First, when the Lions selected him, Wally became the first African-American to accept the NFL’s draft. Several other black players preceded him in pro football, including end Bob Mann and halfback Mel Groomes, both of whom played for Detroit in 1948. Second, the speedy Triplett, a great scatback, excelled at football. Given an opening, he could sprint down the field. His finest hour came on October 29, 1950, when he set an NFL record (which lasted 44 years) by returning four kickoffs for 294 yards and one touchdown as the Rams ripped the Lions, 65-24, at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
