I'm in the process of getting a "retro set" built. Persimmon driver, 3 wood, forged blade irons ... all with steel shaft. I'm trying to source a nice retro putter too. Something that looks traditional ... Man, I wish I kept the 8802. :cry:

It'll be interesting to see if it affects the scoring at all ... or whether it makes the game more fun/interesting. 8)

Thought you might like it ... :lol:

I'm taking it to the next level ... retro headcovers, retro golf bag ... might even go back to steel spikes. I miss the sound of steel spikes on concrete ... CRUNCH, CRUNCH. 8)

are you a 7.5-8 shoe. I got some shoes with the fancy flap over the top of the shoe laces. or you could just have the flap.

You have to have the wardrobe to match as well, otherwise it's all for nothing

I found this putter. My Dad claims it is older than I am and that it was custom made by someone for a pro - who chose the other one.

The leather on the grip is a bit worn but is otherwise serviceable. It is actually quite heavy in the head.

Shall I bring it up with me?
