sirchunksalot Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ok guys, today was the last day to post a round for the Classic Bag Challenge. I was hoping to get a final round in today, but having to work yesterday kinda made me want to take a day and relax. The past few months have been crazy, and I want to thank each and every one of you for participating. I had a blast and the discussion here added to my knowledge and appreciation of how the game used to be played. Late fall and early winter wasn't ideal for this, but I feel we had a successful trial run for another competition in the spring. I hope by then more people can get in on the fun when it warms up. Thank you again to @HardcoreLooper for keeping on top of the scoring, I appreciate it more than you know. @BIG STUI still have a desire to get out to the Myrtle Beach area and meet you if things settle down. I also hope to meet up with @JohnSmalls if I can head out that way. @toehold57 I wish you could have played, but I understand since the club you play was restricting walk ons. I hope you can get in on it next year, I really enjoy talking to you. @fixyurdivot thank you for offering up a prize for this competition. It was fun to dress up and I'll be adding the outfit to my regular rotation. @deejaid congratulations on the win! It was a nail biter edging out @HardcoreLooper 33.723/33.75.

I'd be curious what the rules are regarding equipment. There's a tight group of players who sort of run in the same circle of friends. You start out picking up a few clubs here or there on the secondary market, and then you end up learning how to make these clubs yourself. I've seen some strange stuff out there in the few times I've been around these guys. Basically they are interested in maintaining the history of the game, and living it out. Just ask yourself what you'd have to do to play golf the way Walter Hagen and Bobby Jones did 100 years ago and you'll have your answer. That includes how they dressed, etc. Overall though it's really not about strict rules or adherence to some set of club specs or anything. It's really about the history and traditions of the game. My Dad has his own hickory club shop in the basement of his house, and my brother has his own shop as well. When my brother came to visit me in June and play some golf the pro at my club had some old hickory clubs in the pro shop, and my brother found one that matched his set that he was looking for. He simply asked the pro what he wanted for the club and that's pretty much how it goes. There are a few guys out there that market their hickory clubs that you can actually purchase online.

I hope you can get in on it next year, I really enjoy talking to you. @fixyurdivot thank you for offering up a prize for this competition. It was fun to dress up and I'll be adding the outfit to my regular rotation. @deejaid congratulations on the win! It was a nail biter edging out @HardcoreLooper 33.723/33.75. DM me your address and I will ship the Bridgestone Customized balls your way. @sirchunksalot - Thank you for getting this thing started. I was happy to help out in some small way. I'm looking forward to warmer weather and a full field of contestants. @deejaid - It's only fitting that our resident persimmon maven would take the title. But I'll be gunning for it again next year. Thanks to everyone else who turned in a round and showed us that there's an interest on this forum in an event like this. Can't wait 'till next year! sirchunksalot, tommc23, JohnSmalls and 2 others 5 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (13.5*) - 980F 4 Wood (18*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) 52* - CBX 58* - CBX Full Face 2 Putter - Craz-e Bag - 2.5 (Blue) Ball - AVX Instagram - @hardcorelooper Twitter - @meovino Facebook - mike.eovino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I do have a set of KZG Forged II that are 15 years old or so. And do have the period correct metal woods to play with them too HardcoreLooper, tommc23, fixyurdivot and 3 others 6 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.
