Popular Post sirchunksalot Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2020 Welcome to the 2020 Classic Bag Challenge! Do you have an old set of clubs in storage you've wanted to take out play? Here's your chance. You'll be competing for the top prize of a dozen personalized Bridgestone Tour B RX Golf balls and the title of Classic Bag Champion. It was suggested by @HardcoreLooper we do a trial run for this challenge and I'll be doing another in the spring that will include our friends who live in cooler climates and can't participate this year. The rules: Your classic bag must consist of wooden or laminate wood, no metal allowed. Your irons must be blades manufactured before 1995. Set wedges and specialty wedges are allowed, but follow the same guidelines as the irons. Let's see some of those bump and run shots! Putters were the tough ones to figure out and I didn't want to exclude anyone that doesn't have a classic so there will be a half stroke penalty overall of you use a newer putter. I'll be using the same scoring system that @JohnSmalls used in the Hard Rock Challenge which takes into account course rating, slope, and handicap. Gross score - ((slope/113)x(handicap/2))+(72-course rating) The Classic Bag Challenge starts November 1 and will run until December 20. So dust off those old clubs and play as many nine hole rounds as you would like. If you play 18, just split the score up and submit your best one along with your handicap, course rating, and slope. Also, we'd love to see photos of the clubs you're playing!

fixyurdivot Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 What a great idea! My PE2's are pre 1995 but not blades and I no longer have any real wood woods. It will be fun to watch this contest evolve. Now if you're really wanting to spice it up a whisker, add a Hard Rock game within the game GolfSpy_SHARK, sirchunksalot and JohnSmalls 2 1 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Currently Under Product Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those might be fun on the green, wobble...goes right, wobble...goes left. I'm thinking I've seen some Titleist DT 90's on occasion at Wal-Mart in the recycled balls. I might have to pick some up if I can find them. Right now I'm leaning toward the Wilson Zip, I've read on the Powered by Persimmon blog that @deejaid runs they work well with old drivers.

After two months of Power Holes and low-face deflection, I can't wait to put the Arccos away and get analog for a month or so.

Shapotomous Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I did a quick look through the shag bag and a couple buckets and came up with two Professional 90's, a Professional 100 and quite a few of the earliest Prov1 392's. There are also a few of the DT Wound 90's but I am not sure if they are older than the ProV's or not. I would bet some of the Top Flites that were in those buckets are just as old as the Professional 90's but I don't know how to confirm it.

Shapotomous Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 To prep for this, I took the Staff Dynapower PW out in the backyard for a practice session yesterday. I had to be careful with getting too steep or the leading edge would get stuck in the mat and the ball would chunk about 10 yards! It's probably good to practice with it because the less forgiving sole makes me take a better swing! I also changed grips on the staff driver and 5W since the green victory grips were so dried out they were losing pieces. The Putter that will be used & the oldest ball I could find in the buckets.....I'll play it until I lose it then switch to the old Titleist Professionals..... sirchunksalot, HardcoreLooper and JohnSmalls 3 Quote Modern Bag: G410 LST 10.5*, Hzrdus Smoke RDX 6.5 Flex; 915F 3w, Diamana S+ 70 S flex; Snake Eyes 18* 2h, 23* 4h & 27* 5h; JPX 900 Forged 6 - PW, PX LZ 6.0; Edison 2.0 49*, 53*, 57* KBS Tour 120 S; Heppler Fetch; Ball - MTB-X; Bag - Jones MyGolfSpy Edition!
