They do look nice. I'd love to hit some of those babies!

A mate of mine back home had a wooden putter and it really worked for him.

Love this site - would really like to get a couple made up just not sure I'm good enough to hit them anymore.
A few mates and myself are starting to play with old woods and pre 80's irons once every few months at a different track to get back to basics and have a laugh. It is amazingly hard to hit the old gear consistently now, but a bloody good laugh seeing cold tops and worse a few times a round rather than a shitty swing rewarded by 100 mtrs of roll.

I have had a look at them before, I wouldn't mind a set of the hickory shafted clubs, for a different experience.

[giddyupgaz]

It would be a blast I reckon. Really love the wooden mallet putters too

I hit my old mans persimmons every now and then and they sweet, the sound of one straight outta the screws is better than any metal clunk

It would be nice to own one of those putters.

They look Purrrrrdy.

Louisville used to have a range of 'striped' putters, but they now only have one style, which is in the 'Sale/Closeout' category (EW-FM1).

Might have to put the Fontana on 'double secret probation'.

Dean Wormer! Is that you? Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little shit just like you.

If any of you 'traditionalists' are interested, I will be advertising for sale soon, a Cleveland Classic 9 degree persimmon driver. It has a brand new DG S300 shaft and a new Lampkin cord grip. It is in superb condition (no marks) and really is a thing of beauty I had intended to put "up on the pool room wall" but those plans have been Kyboshed by the little woman.

Before you commit to a new driver from overseas, have a look at this thing as I only plan to sell it for $140 (less than my costs!) plus postage from briso. I will put photo's up on the Pro Shop site when I get home.

You could play with it or just keep it as a artifact of an earlier time.

Regards,

Pete
