    Default Classic Clubs

    Any interest here in classic/vintage clubs?. I know Razaar collects classic putters, amongst other things.

    What about a playing set of pre 80s clubs? steel shafts, wooden drivers and not a cavity to been seen anywhere?

    I have a set of 60's MacGregor Golden Bears 3 -SW plus 1, 3 & 5 woods. Have just got the irons reshafted and hope to take them for a run shortly.

    A few people have tried to get a retro clubs only day going, but it hasn't happened so far.

    Dave, if you bring them out to the Brooky Xmas game, I'll play with my old PGF blades and persimmons.

    I've a set of 1965 Wilson blades that have only seen a golf course three times, previous owner was the Captain of the USS Brunswick. Have been intending to give them a try out....not sure if Brooky is the place...these clubs look like they could hurt me.

    When I'm back up and playing, I will be in for it. I have 2 beautiful persimmon woods (tiny heads) and some 70's/80's vintage Balata balls. My mizuno blades (mp37) aren't a world away from what your guys are talking about playing with.

    I once went to a customers house in the Peppy Grove end of Dalkieth (2nd wealthiest suburb in Perth).

    The guy had a "golf room" full of vintage clubs. This room was insane. He had vintage clubs that had been used to win major tournaments etc. All up (including less important collectibe clubs) he would have had 200-300 old clubs.

    On top of that, a cap from every golf course he had played (and he had played EVERYWHERE). And to top that, a card signed from a Pro-Am he played at Pebble Beach where he made a hole-in-one! I think he was playing with Stephen Spielberg that day.

    Now that would be something to see!.

    Has anyone been to Tom Moore's museum at Granville? Is it worth a visit?

    I think so, Denis Brosnan has provided the premises for it I believe so that makes sense.

    collecting old clubs is one thing, but having something that is actually worth something is another. For the most part, the older clubs are just scrap metal.

    The thing I wonder is where do all the old clubs go?

    I often wander around in the old shops and check out the rusty collections in the corner, i see a lot of completely unknown crap, but hardly ever do I see popular brands from the 70's and 80's.

    Given the popularity of PGF for a long time there should be tons of them.

    I have a mate who is a fanatic collector of all things associated with golf. His collection is amazing; I blame him for starting me on a similar path. Fortunately I ceased collecting a few years ago when I lost the bug and what I have kept are conversation pieces.
    These are pics of the Wilson blade heads and grip. Also a few persimmon woods that really need a run.

    I have a club maker mate who tells me he has lots of vintage clubs. I haven't seen them yet but gather that he is looking to move most of them on, so will find out what he has.

    Please Ask your mate if he has the original PGF Steel Eagle. Would like to see a photo of them.

    can barely remember what they looked like, no doubt my perception that they were 'sweet looking' back then means they are ugly compared to what we have now.

    Got a set of Ben Hogans by Slazenger and I would be keen to play a vintage golf day.

    I have a small collection of newer classic clubs including Macgregor muirfield 20th, Wilson fg17's and fg51, Titleist tour model '85, 70's complete set (irons and woods) of unplayed Jack Nicklaus Macgregors, Greg Norman signiture Cobra blades, Cleveland 588T's,84 powerbilt citation anniversary blades, old maxfli australian blades and also a set (1,3,5) of Joe Powell handmade persimmons which were the best going in the day.
    I have bagged and played most of these for at least a short time. They are fun to use but not the best day to day gamers. I would love to give them a run at an old school game day. I understand it happens quite a bit in the States.

    They look very Hogan Apex Pro-ish

    Noice henno, yours?

    What would be good Brissy course to play a classic clubs tourney on? Not too long, one that demands shot making over distance. Suggestions?

    (I know this isn't the Pro shop but whilst we are talking classic clubs) but If someone would like to buy my Persimmon driver to use at brooky, give me a PM. I am buying a new one with more loft as I don't hit it very high! I'm certainly not going to lend it as the head is small and the finish perfect.

    Cleveland Classic 9 degree Persimmon Tour driver DG S300 (new) and new Lampkin cord grip

    I want to play in the match at Brooky

    Must be patient, must be patient
