What is the oldest club in your bag?

Regularly have a putter in my bag that I got in about 1985. It is a Wilson TPA VXIII and the same model as Faldo won the Masters with. It is an absolute classic.

Currently have a Ray Cook putter in my bag. This is also pretty old. I would hazard a guess at mid-90's.

Interestingly, my newest club in the bag is over 6 years old too.

I have just taken out a Taylormade Burner 3 wood with the flex twist graphite shaft that I got on holiday in Florida in 1991, its just been replaced by a cobra amp, I have the driver somewhere as well, bought them as a set. I also have a 1992 Wilson Killer Whale Firestick Driver (the John Daly one) in the shed at home that was only replaced about 4 years ago, it's my all time favourite club that I still hit at the range occasionally for old times sake.

I've got a flex twist system 2 too, keep threatening to game it just for a giggle.

My 962b irons I currently use are circa 1999 and Ping Pal 2 putter must be about 10 years old now.Nothing wrong with using the old gear and there really is some some bargains to be had.

Just bought a original Ping rapture driver 2008 I think. Spotted it on eBay 2 nites ago but bloke selling lived near my parents so said £30 if he delivered it. Which he did and I collected it today. Just shame course is still closed.
