5 weeks? Try 4 months, off a 19 handicap. Should be fun

Not for your partners.

Haha! Poor shmucks!

 

[RichardC]

Rick,

Are there any spaces available?

 

[Crow]

Yep there's a left handed one iron in my garage, tell me if you want me to borrow it for the day

Thanks for the offer Sandy but Richart (who is a memeber of Blackmoor and is involved on the organisational side so I'm sure he's right) has said that time will be an issue if there are any more money raising schemes so your left handed 1 iron can rust in peace.

Mine will still be offered up for the auction if there are any people who want to bid for it and to take on the ultimate challenge of hitting a clean shot with a 1-iron.

The club is by Bob Harrison, Leven and the ebay seller offered the following bit of background:

"J R "Johnny" Carstairs, Leven
A well respected clubmaker who, from the clubs we have seen, took great care in the aesthetic appearance of the wooden heads he made. He came to Leven Links in the East Neuk of Fife in the mid 1920s certainly as clubmaker, but perhaps also with a professional's duties.

He was in his mid 70s when he retired in the 1960s and the business was taken over by Bob Harrison who had started there as an apprentice in 1936. Between the wars the firm had about 12-14 clubmakers producing handmade custom clubs."
