Some guy was selling a bunch of golf balls at a flea market. I bought a bunch to hit around the yard. Most are Bridgestone, Titliest and Wilson balls. In the bunch I found a couple of balls that seem to be very old. On the ball itself is printed: "BRISTOL" on one side and "FIFTY" on the other. I found on the internet there used to be a Bristol golf company.

Anyone heard of these? Thanks

Sounds like you have a couple keepers. I wouldn't bang them around the yard any. Prolly not worth anything, but a display piece. No I haven't heard of Bristol golf. Maybe an old timer will have heard of them.

Well there ya go...a young fella found a Bristol sand wedge. Looks like you could still play it. How old is your Dad leftcoast?

There's a lot of club-maker's no longer in business. I have a set of Perderson blades my Dad played from the early 70's thru the early 80's. Their no longer around either.

He is 55. Doesn't play much anymore, would love to inherit his clubs but he is a righty. Has a bag full of old clubs.

I was just looking through a bucket in the garage and found a bunch of old ones with what I assume is Japanese writing on them. Pretty old.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
