    There is a group of players in N Texas that have tournaments every month or so and all they use are hickory shafted clubs. I ran into them at one of my local courses and they let me take a few shots with a wood shafted iron. It is so different but yet you do get a connection with the roots of this game we all love.

    If you ever find yourself in upstate New York, I think you would really enjoy Dinsmore golf course in Staatsburg. It’s one of the oldest courses in America and it’s a very similar design. Built right into the hilly terrain. Not always in great shape but always great backdrops of the Hudson valley.

    @TheCampsies 5 років тому

    When I started playing in Scotland over 60 yrs ago we did not refer to Par. The scorecards printed the Bogy for each hole (this was the equivalent of Par today). Colonel Bogy was an imaginary scratch player apparently dreamed up by a war wounded soldier at the turn of the last century. The soldier played against the invisible Colonel Bogy when he had no one else to play against. The Bogy score was that which a top player was likely to take. US TV golf was shown in the UK in the 1960s and the commentators referred to Par with Bogy being one over Par. Soon the UK adopted this as the norm.

    It was fun to see the old scorecard & clothes but I super disappointed you didn't use the clubs of the time, that would have very appropriate & insightful.

    I remember our scorecard having a bogey 5 on it still in the 1970s

    The picture retakes was awesome! I personally think that those Outfits should still be the dress code.
