I have searched every kind of search you can imagine and I still can't find anything on this club. I have looked for the past few days for any information on this and I have still come up empty. The words on the club say Yamaha 4. H-204. 829606. Pure or sure sight. Hybrid Super. Anyone heard of this/know anything about it?

Just a run-of-the-mill old Yamaha 4-wood. Probably not worth more than a few bucks.

I'm assuming it is worth max $10. Is it weird not being able to find information on old clubs or is this a normal thing?

I found two very close versions of this. Is this maybe a prototype of those? Maybe a customized version?

Problem is, craigslist is Full of clubs like those, maybe not the exact club, but there's 1000's for sale, and they have been for sale, in 99% of the ad's for about a year. Then again, who knows, you may get lucky and find someone who's looking for just that club.

I'm not looking to sell it. I'm looking for any information at all about the club.

I haven't even been able to even find a picture of this club.

It happens, probably a very limited production run. I have a set of Wilson Sabres that I have run searches on multiple times over the years and have never found anything other than my own postings. They're not worth squat but I thought I could at least find the lofts but...nada.

It's an extraordinarily rare club. Only made one of it. Back in July of 1986 deep in the jungle of Belize. The club was soon shipped off to Uzbekistan. It has since made it's way to you. Thousands of people would strive for it....I'll give you six bucks for it.

Phew this is a normal thing. This was driving me a bit nutty. [quote name="RJH999" url="/t/76760/what-is-this-club#post_1045574"]It's an extraordinarily rare club. Only made one of it.

I had seen older Yahama FWs (actually with wooden heads), but the Sure Sight is a new one on me. I didn't know Yamaha golf survived long enough to get into hybrids.

Focus, connect and follow through!

    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
