Does anyone have any interest in collecting, swapping, buying or
selling "Classic" clubs ? I'd like to start a little interest in
this area and hope some of you also dabble in this.
I'm also interested in golf history and architecture. Anyone have
any thoughts on great courses they have played, or would like to
play ? Might be an interesting way to forget about Winter...
Regards,
Jack.

| 162.1 | "ANOTHER GOLF COLLECTOR" | OURVAX::GLASS | Mon Feb 29 1988 08:16 | 13 | |
Hi,
I have been involved with golf since 1949 and collect clubs.I would
always be interested in "good buys" and especially in MacGregor
or even McGregor!
During my high school/service/college and business golf,I have gotten
to play many of the Top 100 courses.Also got to play many great
courses while being assigned to the Ayr,Scotland facility.
Would enjoy hearing more from other collectors and I could go on
for hours with golf "war stories" to include a match with Orville
Moody in Korea in 1954!!!!!!!

| 162.2 | how to begin? | BMT::FERRES | Tue Mar 15 1988 13:00 | 9 | |
I'd like to begin collecting old clubs - am interested in
representative 'types' from various eras, discriminated on
the basis of the evolution in new ideas and technologies to
build them. I'd like to hear from people as to how they
go about finding old clubs, what they buy/like, rough ideas
of cost, etc.

| 162.3 | Is this an old club? | HPSRAD::POULSEN | Thu Dec 06 1990 14:27 | 16 | |
My son found and old club in his grandfathers cellar. The face has a dot
pattern instead of face lines. On the sole it has an 8 and an imprint
of a hand. The back of the club looks like this:
George Micoll
LEVEN FIFE SCOTLAND
Z RUSTLESS
PINSPLITTER
The name (George Micoll) is a signature not typed. The club looks more
like a sandwedge than an 8 iron. Has anyone ever seen a club like this?
