Subsonic and I are starting our own vintage golf league. So far it's 2 guys. The rules require wooden-headed woods, no hybrids, pre-1980 forged irons and pr...

Remember to do your rehab diligently ! Wish you return to full range of motion with the "metal" parts.

Gracias Amigo. Doing the at-home stuff now, painfully. Can't wait until the therapist starts the torture!

If your OT tells you the exercise won't break more of your body parts, do it; no matter how painful it feels.
I started my OT visit the 3rd day after my forearm surgery, I wonder why they did not start you off sooner. At least to get something going.

That's what the wife had repaired, luckily. In/out, about an hour+. Kickin my ass 2 hrs. later!!
The other knee is bone on bone now. Injections have helped some, but it's time for it to go.

It's not fair that when we finally get retired and have some disposable income, that all of our shit wears out.

I started PT in the hospital last Tuesday just prior to release. I have a list of the same exercises to do at home 3X day. I start at the PT Gym next week after my 2 week visit with the cutter.

sdandrea1 I think it only wears out if you retire. I'm gonna keep working. Or not.

Going to SS office Wed. a.m. to see what's what.

Good you're on your way.....
Let me find out if those butter knives are pre-1980.

I am one of those PT's in a hospital that works on an orthopedic floor. Important to think of your therapist as a coach and teacher. He or she will be the most important person throughout your rehabilitation.

Release guess you're running outside and inside of the house for awhile ?

Yeah, she's not driving much, or at all. She drove 1 day last week; messed up her wrist just turning the key and shifting into gear. Very bad arthritis, it is. Been on that IV stuff since they allowed it in the U.S., maybe 10+ yrs. ago. Every 6 weeks. @ $4K per bag x 2 bags, very thankful for Medicare and ins.!!

A wife of one of the guys I play golf with has R.A. She also has all sorts of things going on. Went through surgery. medication, therapy...... Their insurance premium is close to $3,000 per month, he said the insurance never made a penny from them.....
R.A. is a debilitating decease no body really talk about.

I've put more wear on these joints in retirement than I ever did on the clock. You are correct.

I'd hate to think how much this chemo type IV(Remicade) has cost(someone) through the years. She got into it when it was in trials, more or less, in the U.S.. At that time it was around $5-6K per bag, which was no cost to us, and still is hardly a cost to us. Her work ins. picked up what was owed at the beginning, and now Medicare and other ins. takes care of it; almost 100%. Lucky us!
The number of bags, whatever measure it is, is pretty much determined by body weight. She has lost a lot of weight since the beginning, so less med. per session now & I'm not sure it's enough, sometimes. She can't bend like a pretzel any more.😒

Sorry to say that I could not bend like a pretzel any more like I used to be able to. :-)
Yes, all the medication will take care part or whole of the illness , however they all have sever side effects.

Hope your wife feels better. I know it's hard, but do some type of circulatory exercise, no matter how little it is, will help.

Back to the topic,

The butter knives were 1984-1985 so it will not qualify for your purpose. PAR4QC 's warning of checking the shafts before putting the old golf clubs in play is very correct. Do check for rust and structure weakness or simply replace the shaft to your choice.
I have a few sets of persimmon woods and butter knives I still play in the Summer. Because not a lot of people knows how to restore refinish the old clubs around here. I had tried to refinish the persimmon woods and it was not as easy as I thought it would be and very messy. tried everything except changing the face plate. I was more worried of causing crack in the dried up persimmon than anything else. So I tried not to take out the old stuff when the condition is wet or too cold.

Not sure when these MacGregor Heritage irons were made, but if they interest you, let me know. Excellent condition with original grips, maybe still playable.

Sorry I can't help you. I have some persimmon woods and I have a ping 1a putter, but the oldest set of irons I have is a set of Lynx parallax irons from the late 80s, and they're not forged (at least I don't think they are).

If the Lynx irons interest you, let me know. I'd be happy to offload them.

braveheart
Absolutely!

Search is over. I lucked into a serendipitous find. My first set of new clubs were Wilson Sam Snead Blue Ridge forged irons. Got them in the mid 70s. A buddy pointed me to a NEW old stock set still n the original box in plastic. They are on their way. Nostalgic and vintage, mint and cheap.

But Steve, did you get the 2 iron?😜

I know I'm late to the party on this, but I have some vintage clubs I'd love to get rid of, simply b/c they take up space in my workshop, and I'll never use them again....

Powerbilt Citation driver (laminated), graphite shaft
MacGregor Tourney MT 3-4-5 fairway woods, steel shafts
Ben Hogan Apex II irons, Apex shafts......SOLD
Ben Hogan Apex irons, heads only
