My Dad has an Al Hollern signature go-sum putter "10" iron. It has a hickory shaft. He is 74 & doesn't play anymore. It belonged to his mother's brother-in-law who was born around 1900. I wanted to maybe clean it up & mount it on a wall at the folks' home. Any idea on how old this vintage piece of equipment is?
40 years old
You might try www.Thegolfauction.com they auction golf memorabilia including Old Hickory clubs. I believe they have a golf Blog you can ask questions about golf memorabilia.
Brassie, spoon, mallet, the chicken stick
Nothing for the name and precious little for being old. Golf Clubs don't make good antiques especially when they have been outdated by new technology.
You can find just about anything you desire at rummage sales, including complete sets of golf clubs if the individual having the rummage sale has an old set of golf clubs they are wanting to sell.
only for 75 year old women
if you are still hitting good i see no need to update them, but if you are not hitting acceptably you should probably update your clubs
circa 1979
Interesting question to say the least. You will find that a lot of UK golf clubs have age limits, usually 11 years old. But there are some clubs with children much younger. No official statistics to support your question.
Many public golf courses will allow you to work when you are fifteen (assuming you have a ride). Most country clubs would like you to be sixteen or older.
Yes, at most country clubs there are caddy programs where you can sign up.
Arnold Palmer Aero-Dyne Design golf clubs were introduced in the early 1990s, making them over 30 years old as of 2023. They were part of a collaboration between the legendary golfer Arnold Palmer and the golf equipment manufacturer, aimed at providing innovative designs and improved performance for players. While they may not be in mainstream production today, they remain a notable part of golf history.
