The Playable Hickory Shafted Golf Clubs

Almost ALL of the Play Hickory golf clubs are of British make! Many have references to Scottish and English golf courses, and there are many famous brands like: Gibson, Stewart, JH Taylor, Forgan, Braid, Winton and others. I have sorted and hand picked every golf club, and I will reject any club that does not look or feel like it will play well.

the Putters


A typical putter will be a "blade" style putter. Simple and functional.

The putters have great "feel" as they are made of forged steel.

Most putters have the original old leather grips left in tact.

the Irons


The typical iron head is forged steel of "blade" design. Here is a Mashie.
Each set will have a Niblick, Mashie Niblick, Mashie and Mid-Iron.


The faces of the irons will have many different patterns, even smooth.

Here is shown the restored hosel and whipping to add strength.

the Woods


Here is a typical, freshly restored wood. Each club is freshened up but
not refinished to much. Most lofts are adjusted to about 15 deg. This
makes a versatile tee and fairway club for your enjoyment!


A typical wood head has a lead back weight and many have brass sole
plates. Sometimes I will fine tune the "feel" of the club by adding more
lead to the club. This is an important aspect of the playability and your
enjoyment!

the Club Sets

Seriously, I have sorted through thousands of clubs to pick out the clubs for the play sets. I use a swing weight scale on the irons to assure they have the weight required to feel right and play well. I test the wooden shafts to assure they have the correct flex and strength and are sound for play. And, the work I've done to the woods is essential to good play. You have absolutely the BEST chance to enjoy hickory golf when you rent clubs for Play Hickory!

Here are some of the sets shown with descriptions of the club makers.
