Same here, I have my grandfather's clubs on display in my den too. They're all hickory shafted except the steel shafted Two Wood he used as a driver. I've never played them for fear of breaking the shafts, but I once played 18 with his putter. It's probably got 7* of loft.

7 degrees of loft.  That was back when the lawnmowers had four legs.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

Orlimar "tight lies" 3-wood from the mid 90s.  My first metal wood.  Still played old school persimmon till then.

In case you are wondering, I also has a flip phone until a few years ago too.

I've got several Kasco hybrids that I believe are from the mid-1990s. I've tried a number of more modern hybrids (Adams, Callaway, TaylorMade) but haven't found any I like better. Also, most others are too short. I like the Kasco's because they're basically hybrid heads on fairway wood shafts, so they're 3 to 5 inches longer than most other hybrids. I started with two and now own five (13, 16, 19, 23 and 27 degrees). I usually carry only two at a time and switch them out based on the course. I'm afraid of carrying all five at once because that might look like an "old man bag," 

What's in the bag:
Driver: TaylorMade Rocketballz (non-adjustable), 10.5 degrees, stock graphite shaft R flex
Hybrids: Kasco, 17 and 25 degrees, stock graphite shafts
Irons: Golfsmith Tour Cavity Forged, 4-PW, graphite shafts R, 2 degrees upright
Wedges: TaylorMade Black Oxide, 52, 56, and 60 degrees, graphite shafts
Putter: Rife Barbados w/SuperStroke grip 
Ball: Bridgestone RXS

I recently retired my 1972 Ping Kushin, which my grandfather bought new and I inherited when he passed in 1980.  Now playing a TM Spyder and a complete set of 2017 M2's - so the oldest club still in my bag is about a year.

Which bag? I have three right now. 

Oldest has to be one of the Karsten 1 Irons. Word is the set was built in 1969. I played them a few days ago. It was a truly "U.G.L.Y" experience. A collector gets these critters next week. 

If I wanted to go get them, my nephew is holding a bag full of OlimarTrimetals for me, should I ever visit him Utah. Not likely. 

However, in keeping with the spirit of the thread, it would be my M1 Heavy Putter. Although I just put it in my bag this year, I have had it in my possession for around 20+/-  years. My Zone 1 putter became unplayable. It would have been my oldest club too. The M1 replaced it

On another note, the clubs in my two other bags are pretty old too. Other than an ocassional "club find" here, or there, I have not purchased any new, real gamers in at least 10-15 years.

There's this lady named Doris. She's like 98 or 99 years old. Shoots her age all the time... oh wait did you say "Oldest Club in My Bag" or "Oldest Bag in My Club"? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I have two about the same age. An old putter I got from my father in law.  I was a promo from Canadian Club Whiskey made by :titleist:, early 1970's.  Only in my bag every now and then.  Other is from late 1960s, my 8 iron from Northwestern.  Still use it off the tee and ground. In the bag for sentimental reasons (an ace early in my golf life and and an eagle as well), re--shafted to senior flex.

My irons (Cleveland 588 Altitude), Putter ( Odyssey 2 Ball Tank), and my 2,3, &4 hybrid (Nickent 3DX Ironwood) have all been in the bag for 6 years now.  The irons and the putter will be in my bag until I cave the faces in on them which means forever!! The hybrids are from 2008, and I had them for 6 years before I put them in play, and they have hit literally thousands of shots apiece.  They proved their worth as I bought all three of them for 39 bucks total. Find what works for you and then beat the face off of that club is my motto!!

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
