Popular Post TerryMcK Posted October 15, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Who needs a pristine Roubo bench or an ultra flat torsion box assembly table? Just have a look at these guys. (Saw this on Marilyn's website and had to repost it) - I've got to get me a tie and a waistcoat under my apron. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodbloke Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 From the look of the girlie (pin-up or early Pirelli calendar?) peeking over the shoulder of the guy on the rhs, it could be late 20's or early 30's - Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Z. Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 does the calendar in the back not say Jan, 1924? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozwald Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 does the calendar in the back not say Jan, 1924? January 1st in '24 was on a Tuesday. Possibly '25. Don't ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChetlovesMer Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm getting that bow tie for sure! Speaking of Bow Ties. My dad and I played in a Hickory Golf Tournament weekend before last. Used the hickory clubs and wore the period clothes. (I'm the one on the left) BTW - Anyone here ever try to build a hickory golf club? ... perhaps restore one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopnhack Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Wow, great photo Terry!! Thanks for sharing. I love the look on the guys face who is hammering in the background. Kinda like, "ah, now there, doesn't that brass tack look lovely... pity these other two gents are quarreling over who left the toolbox open again!" LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 hickory golf.jpg Speaking of Bow Ties. My dad and I played in a Hickory Golf Tournament weekend before last.

Did you use Balata balls? I work on newer clubs, and play to a +2, but have always been afraid that I would break a wooden shaft if I hit a ball with one.

ChetlovesMer Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yep, Balata balls. Some folks just used low compression. I too was a bit nervous with the hickory. All the clubs we used were at least 100 years old. But, they are surprisingly very robust. Plus the grips are so difficult to hold onto that you really can't bring it with your full swing, or you'll likely lose your grip. The grips are leather wraps pinned at the top and the bottom. In the middle it wiggles quite a bit. If you get a chance go ahead and play one of these tourneys it really is a lot of fun. BTW - You gotta do the period dress as well. If you are ever in Iowa look me up and we can play. Based on your handicap you can give me 7 per side. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
