Don't use now but I do still have a set of Mizuno TP9 blades circa mid to late 80s, got handed down to me as a junior by my dad absolutely loved them

Also have a titleist DCI Stsrship driver loved that club made a hellof sound when you hit it though

I play a bit of Hickory golf and all that stuff has to be before 1930's. Have a putter that's 1901 and a mashie prior to WW1.

I have a Ping Anser putter I bought new in 1975 from Lillywhites in London. Cost £18 from memory which was a fair bit in those days. Gets the odd work out, but the magic has long gone.

The old Lilley whites NY sale? Those were real sales!

Still got a set of Tommy Armour 845s lurking somewhere. They were a popular club back in the early 90s, played by quite a few on the PGA Tour.

Got a set of Pinnacle Irons that I bought 2nd hand in 1990, they must have been 15 years old back then.

My Dad came for a visit and I dragged him out for a quick 9 holes, and he took them to play with, they still hit a lovely ball.

I love them, once I'm playing again properly I'll try taking them out on the range the for a round or 2 next summer.

The long irons are so small in the head, but irons feel sublime when hit right

Do it!

The first steel head drivers were smaller than persimmon due to their weight, see below.

I'm gonna give it a go, maybtske a trip my dad's first as he has an old TM Flex Twist driver from early 90s and a Wilson Firestick3 wood to make the collection in the bag older and more challenging

I'm out for a knock on Tuesday with an old junior pal will give it a go then and get him roped in to it as well see if we can roll back the years...

I've still got a quid Homer gave me in 1988. Probably about as rare as a penny black.

Certainly wouldn't be legal tender anymore. I must have been drunk.

I definitely remember the Ford event and use to look forward to it and getting a nice bag tag (I use to collect them from events/clubs I played at and had them all on the bag) and other goodies. Never did too well in it though. The oldest thing I've still got is my Anser 2 putter from c 1982
