I was very lucky and paid £10.50 for mine and that included a set of woods.
Here they are drying after I had painted in the numbers and the red dot.



and the woods that came with them.



Ebay purchase collected in person so I got their full history. First owned by a club pro as his playing set for a couple of years. Then a chap bought them for his son.
It was this son that sold them to me. He had only ever been an occasional player of a few rounds a year.
He seems to have favoured the 3-wood by the wear on the face and the heel of the sole.

I think I'll go and have a look at them tomorrow... if I can get a bit off them, I might have them..

A triple whammy.

Crow spotted some woods, but let me bid for them.
They perfectly match one of my favourite sets of irons.
There were no other bidders.

Forgan Powerpakt persimmon woods.
They arrived this afternoon and I got to work on them straight away.

Seller's photos first



Gosh that 4-wood sole plate looks in a bad way!

1 hour later



I've put them away now, but there is still a bit more to do before a final polishing.

 

[IanM]

How did you restore the sole plates?

I bought today.....

Just bought a pair of winter trousers. My mate has a pair and recommended them. County Golf The Dwyers ones are rubbish. They are warm but not in the slightest bit waterproof.

Are you happy with the multi-tool? I've been meaning to get a Dremel for a while but don't think I'd use it enough to justify the price. That thing looks like much better vfm, if it is actually decent.

 

[Voyager EMH]

Seems to do the job OK, but I've nothing to compare it with regards quality etc.
Whether you get one of these or the more famous Dremel, I do recommend the flexi-wand-thingy.
I bought exactly the one shown and then more accessories from amazon and ebay.
I need loads more sanding heads (the tube style) - seen how to make your own on youtube, but a big bagful is inexpensive and far less trouble.

Another 10 minutes or so on each club today.
Just got to find a day next week to clean and varnish the faces.
The wound leather grips with the gold thread running through them do not need anything doing to them.



I've got a Craigton driver that I will put with these when they go out on a course.

Old School Challenge

After watching one of the Steve Buzza vlogs where they use some old clubs I'm really keen to give it a go. A) it will be interesting to see how they perform, and B) it looks a great bit of fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h47a3mQM27A Anybody fancy it? We could make up a fourball and play a...

I have them sitting in the bag.The feed back between a good and bad shot is almost immediate.And you have to be a little “daring” with some shots.As that Excalibur hogan wedge is one unforgiving lad

Large package arrived today.
Oddsocks is owed a thousand thanks for collecting and posting something I spotted on Ebay.
Is there a Forumer Of The Year Award?

A set of John Letters, Dai Rees, Strokemaster Mark 2. Woods 1,3,4,5 and irons 3-SW.
A Scottish made set with a Welshman's name on them - Perfect.

There is a Slazenger bag and a Bronty putter for Crow. All negotiated and arranged by PM on here.

Ah, lets start with those interesting things that are sometimes found in the bag.



Always nice to see a classic 1.62 with a smiley cut in it.

After unpacking in the kitchen, just had time to clean and photograph the driver and six iron, before exceeding permitted kitchen-time limit for golf stuff.



Grips are nice



And a very nice putter for Crow who is a fan of all things Bronty.

 

[Oddsocks]

glad they arrived safely and sorry for the delay in shipping

Those 3 green fee tickets for Royal Magpie are worth the cost alone!

I've got plenty of pink ones.
Look closely above - he left two red ones - so I'm very happy.

If you would like them as a souvenir, I'll post them to you.
