fatshot With all the talk by Steve (and others) about hickory golf, I thought this article about this bag manufacturer would be of interest......until I saw the prices! You can access his website near the end of the article. Enjoy! http://www.golfwrx.com/481982/bag-chatter-an-interview-with-steurer-jacoby/
fatshot sdandrea1 A great choice.....when I coached high school golf, nearly EVERY team was carrying Jones bags!
sdandrea1 fatshot Very old school traditional, but on the modern side of hickory! Just regripped and whipped my mashie niblick. It has a small crack in the shaft. Re-pinned her too.
Martee Very Very Nice bag. Sun Mountain has some nice leather bags and of course there are the MacKenzie bags (a bit pricey for my taste). Nice project you have going.
sdandrea1 scotts33 My whipping skills still suck, but I just got my mid iron yesterday, so I have more practice. Gotta reset and re-pin the head and wrap on some new leather. Gonna try to go slow this time and whip that thread in even wraps nice and tight together.
PA-PLAYA I'm guessing that this new hickory hobby could become just as expensive as your normal ho-ing hobby with the latest and greatest. I would imagine that finding replaceable hickory shafts isn't exactly a cheap endeavor in itself these days.
sdandrea1 PA-PLAYA would imagine that finding replaceable hickory shafts isn't exactly a cheap endeavor in itself these days. New replacement hickory shafts are $19.50 from several suppliers. New replica clubs are expensive.
scotts33 raggmann54 Actually finding a good hickory shaft is harder than you might think. Straight grain, free of defects and correct flex. I use my NF9 to measure flex in hickory blanks either 39" or 44". This form of clubmaking goes back to the art of building golf clubs along with the heads and is a far cry from the cut n' glue of today.
sdandrea1 Ringoblack But, what about period golf attire? Are you prepared for that? SWMBO just ordered an outfit for me. I'm all in. 😱
Ringoblack sdandrea1 Are you growing the handlebar mustache too? Hope you don't have large calves--they are not pretty in plus 4's.😇
sdandrea1 Ringoblack Hope you don't have large calves--they are not pretty in plus 4's. I've been told my legs should be arrested for "lack of support". I'm lean in the calves. 😉
Ringoblack sdandrea1 sdandrea1 I've been told my legs should be arrested for "lack of support". I'm lean in the calves. Then you are okay.
sdandrea1 puttnfool SWMBO ordered me a pair of green knickers, multi -colored argyle knee sox, green Kangol hat. White golf shirt will complete the costume. Pics up later.
Ringoblack puttnfool Plus 4's don't look right without long socks. I agree; perhaps a pair of black and yellow diamond pattern? or maybe these. or these or if better taste prevails, these
