Probably a war on at the time, so metals in short supply.
It's actually got a decent weight to it and putts nicely, the lie's just a bit flatter than I like, dare I try and bend it a little more upright?.....

Why not, if it breaks its not like you are short of putters is it?

Just took delivery of a set of Dunlop Peter Thomson 3 to 9 irons plus wedge.
The wedge isn't named as a wedge on the bottom but on the back of the head where the rest are marked "Stainless" it's called a "Retriever", see picture, a new one to me!

Latest ebay purchases.
Ben Sayers, Ray Floyd "Power Ridged" irons, 3 to SW, a pity the ferrules are in such poor condition.
Pirie Turf King "Eric Brown" persimmons, 1, 2 & 3 which came with a very nice set of vintage leather head covers for Whitecraigs Golf Club. The heads are a little worn but the original leather grips aren't too bad and have matching butt caps.

With all the recent poor weather we only had 10 holes open today, took out a bag to suit the conditions and joined a small roll up group of 8 players.
Playing late 80s Titleist steel woods numbers 1 & 5, picked a few irons from a dog rough set of Wilson Staff Tourblades, 4, 6, 7, 8, PW & SW, with a John Letters Golden Goose putter to round it off.
I was lopped 5 shots off my handicap (because that's what most in the group have lost over winter) so playing off 7 but hit some good stuff, apart from two no score holes, and came in with 20 points over the 10 holes to take first place and a small but satisfactory £5 win.

First qualifier of the year for me today, Stableford.
Pretty grim conditions with rain practically all the way round.
I played Walter Hagen laminated 1, 3 & 4 woods
Dunlop Maxfli Australian Blades, 3 to PW
Dunlop Peter Thomson SW (a nice touch I thought, keeping the Australian theme)
John Letters "Golden Goose" bullseye style putter.
Had a few chipping melt downs and missed a two foot putt, but holed three long ones and was pleased to come in with 37 points, currently in 6th place from a field of just over a hundred.
As our SSS is 71 for a par of 72 I'm unlikely to get a cut though.

Excellent. Are you aiming to stick to one set or vary it through the competition season?

Thanks, I'll not be sticking to one set, switching clubs around is half the fun!
I'm waiting for some decent weather to get some of the unplayed iron sets out, top of the list are the Slazenger Johnny Miller JM63s and the JB Halley Tournaments.
I'm also keen to give the Slazenger Plus Internationals another chance to prove it was me and not the clubs that led to the shocking score at Tadmarton!

Nick still on a few temp greens Sunday? missing a 2-foot putt is acceptable on mount Ullesthorpe slopes

Had these beauties delivered on Monday, Norrie Thomson 1 & 2 woods, 3 iron to wedge, plus putter.
The woods look ropey where the varnish has crackled but the blocks themselves seem in pretty decent condition considering they don't have inserts.

Ha - Clubs with Whitecraigs GC head coves
Whitecraigs was nearest club to where I was brought up and I had my name on the waiting list for 7 yrs before I was offered membership (Neither I nor my parents knew any members to push me up the waiting list). I had to turn it down as had only just qualified and was unlikely to be staying in Glasgow - and they wouldn't offer me any form of membership other than full Though I did once watch Jack Nicklaus on a visit to the club do a demo - belting balls up their practice ground.
