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 😉

This will be a fun ride!  Is there any rule on what golf ball can be used?

Combatants will be receiving a dozen of these.  I'm still amazed they ever left the delta-dimple design... just defies logic 🤣.

That is the craziest golf ball I have ever seen. 

Yea, clearly pre wind tunnel/smoke test days.  Rumor has it these would whistle a tune down the fairway 🤣.

It'll be great to have you then! I'm hoping since this is my first run at organizing something here, it'll help me figure out what I can do better when it goes sitewide.

You can use any ball you like. Thought about adding a bonus for using post older wound balls, but those are kinda hard to find. 

I have a few 5 gal buckets full I will dig through and get the old ones out to use.  I also have an old shag bag with balls in it.  I bet there are a few balata pro-trajectory balls in there!  I am going to bet they aren't quite round anymore!  🤪

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. 

Can't wait to hear how they work for you!

I'm throwing in a TBD winning for the player sporting the best "most classic" attire.  Think plaid, think wool, think avocado green and rust orange. Photos on the course required 🙂.

I'm laughing so hard at this right now. On a more serious note, thank you for adding to the challenge. I appreciate it.

Now time to hit up Goodwill...

I need to get some fresh grips on the Grinds.  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.

According to folks on the NLU Refuge, the Bridgestone BXS is also a good pick for classics rounds.

I think I might have an outfit figured out. This makes me wish I had hair like Jack and wasn't shaving my head.

I'm looking forward to putting Arccos away for a couple of rounds, I just have to see if I can remember how to count.

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.

We can carry but don’t need to actually hit the woods, right?  Who needs a driver when you have a Hogan 2 iron?  Playing 9 on Wednesday so I can see if the grips are playable or not.

J, I still owe you a peek at the woods I picked up at Goodwill

@sirchunksalot - What's the ruling on persimmon woods with graphite shafts?  Just picked up a blond Persimmon Hogan (of course it has a Speed Slot) with a graphite shaft.  I'll bench it if I need to.

You can put it in the lineup as a starter.

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.....
