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
puttnfool I'm down for a Golfbuzz "plus 4" pics thread. I think I still have mine that I had custom tailored for me in the Philippines.
Ringoblack puttnfool too bad we don't have a poll function here like we did on FGI. You and Steve could face off.
GLFTPS I know I am a geezer. I started playing at 8 years old with a set of hickory shafts that a priest gave me.🙄
