I have some really old golf clubs, 2, 2 irons and a Niblick (9iron)


These clubs have hickory shafts and some really old grips on them.

I think these clubs are cool to have, but I am wondering what to do with them?

Any suggestions? thanks

If you could find a half-dozen more - a brassie, a cleek, and a couple of mashies, and a putter - you would be equipped to play in a hickory stick tournament. Groups have these vintage club tournaments here and there around the USA. People wear as close they can to period attire, everything!

An online search should yield a couple of contact points.

BTW, hickory shafts need to be rubbed down with linseed oil so they don't dry out. I would take the clubs to a vintage club specialist before you swing them - dont want to break them.

Focus, connect and follow through!

haha the clubs are righty and i am lefty. I cant really play with them....I COULD but it would be very interesting

I had a couple hickory shafted putters that I used to keep in the basement to open beer bottles. I had them apprasised and they're worth almost as much as brand new bottle openers - woot!

I want to find out the history of these clubs, like the place and year when they were made. I am not really sure how to accomplish this.

I am going to find the make of each club and post it and hopefully I can get some help from there.

If you have a man cave, and the friends you have over regularly are also golfers, then you could hang the clubs, bag and all, on the wall. Wuold look pretty sweet

good luck finding info.

I have a set of sam snead woods and irons from the 60's, it was nearly everybody's starting set at the time and I only found a little bit of info on them.
Trying to find info on clubs older and a lot less common is going to be tough, you'd want to find some really old seniors at your club about them or something

There is a company called Lousiville Golf

http://www.louisvillegolf.com/ that makes reproductions of hickory era clubs that are approved for play by many of the organizations. On their website, you can also find links to the organizations, and from these organizations, many links regarding the old clubs, origins, and even places that do repair, supplies, etc.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
