Old School Meet 2018

[Crow]

I wish I still lived in the UK, this sounds like a right laugh. I've got sat here 1-PW Acushnet Pro 100 blades and a 1 + 3 persimmon macgregors. I hope your all going to sport +4s and flat caps.

Nice set up Adey, it would probably be worth you flying over for the weekend.

Going on interest so far it looks like this:

• therod
• dan2844
• peterstewart (will you be looking to borrow a set of clubs Peter?)
• Crow
• Bigfoot - possible
• fundy & wrighty1874 - unlikely

So on that basis I'll ask them for two tee times.

Any body else up for this, as mentioned previously I can loan sets of clubs out for a mere £5 donation to H4H.
Possible iron sets:
HB&S Max Faulkner Avenger
Wilson DynaPower
John Letters Gary Player

Is the cost £35, or has the winter rate deal expired? Can I use my County Card instead?

£35 or £30 with county card.

Four tasty sets of irons for little money below, even if you're not coming to Tadmarton Heath you'd be mad not to buy one (or more!) of these:

Wilson X-31, woods included

MacGregor Tourney

Spalding Tour Edition
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-VERY-C...d=372187741105&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Mizuno MP-14
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mizuno-M...d=372187741105&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

Well the MacGregors, the Spaldings and the Mizunos all sold, anybody from the forum buy any?
The Mizunos proved popular, I was hoping that as they weren't listed properly that they might fly under the radar and I could pick up a bargain but they sold for £80.

Two tee times confirmed by Tadmarton Heath.


At the 2016 meet we used hickory shafted putters, do people want to do this again or just use an old school putter?
(I've got 4 hickory putters if anyone wants to borrow one for the day?)



Going on your earlier post full_throttle, are you putting your name down for this?

 

[User20205]

I’m borrowing a persimmon driver + 3 wood. Some old school Ben Hogan apex blades and a 30 yr old ping anser. But will borrow a hickory putter if thems the rules

Hogan eh. Serious stuff!
Are they Slazenger or original Hogan?

I'm easy on the putters, I'll probably just bring some with me and we can decide on the day.

Not sure yet, they will be borrowed. It’s them or some Ben sayers. I’ll let you evaluate them on the day ! :thup:

Love to come to this as would have my hickory's by then, but prob too far to travel for one game.

 

[Bigfoot]

I have just realised that the date has changed from Saturday to Sunday, therefore, I am free and can join you if that is OK?

Don't forget that the clocks change the night before.

You could have a couple of courtesy shots if you went full hickory.

That's good Mark, I'd half assumed you'd be able to make the Sunday, and also good re the clocks as we'll have an extra hour in the evening, not that we should struggle at 12.00 anyway...

So that's a definite fourball:

• therod
• dan2844
• Crow
• Bigfoot

No news from peterstewart since his one and only post, are you still there Peter?


Any more for this?
I checked the weather forecast for Sunday 25th March and it's going to be glorious!

full hickory, he's even got me the old bag with the cross stand. Tweeds, plus 2's and shirt & tie

 

[Crow]

I made my own cross stand, mind your fingers when picking up in a hurry!

What clubs have you gone for?

not sure, not seen his for a few weeks due to the bad weather. they are supposed to be all conforming to the hickory collectors society. so prior to 1920 ish to qual

 

[Crow]

1935 is the commonly used cut off date.

I'd guess you'll have a brassie, an iron, a mashie, a mashie niblick, a niblick and a putter.

Might not be a putter, he suggested borrowing one of his for the time being.

looks like I get 4 shots extra as well

Indeed, I suggested 2 for this meet as everybody else would be out of their comfort zone but not as far as you.

(Loads of putters on ebay anyway.)

only problem i'm concerned about with Ebay is most to the stuff Ilve seen is badly bowed. i'm told it can be straightened but not sure i would be able to manage it.
