"I have too many things here at home since we are getting ready to sell the house. Will probably end up over the mountain in Knoxville area. Better for golf and an easier ride to NC for future events. Know anyone who wants to buy a BIG Titleist…"

"My steel index is around 19-20. I hope this helps. I know I need to get some rounds in for a hickory number too. Thanks. Your picture of Dornoch brings back memories and I used to live near Lawsonia. Looking forward to this trip."

"Richard, SP arguably has the best land for golf in the Sandhills and the new ownership will surely exploit that. To accommodate traffic the greens will surely be converted to Bermuda. While the many tiered greens are interesting, they are John LaFoy…"

"Good Lord willing, I'll get to play Southern Pines again.  Glad to learn that the property will NOT be transformed into a housing sub-division as has happened to so many layouts across the nation."

Broken shaft

Might have hit 20 balls (35 and 50 compression) with my mashie and the shaft is cracking. What do I do? Buy a new shaft from Louisville golf or rob peter to pay paul? I have another mashie by another club maker. I'd have to plug the pin hole and drill a new one if that is the case. Comments?...

New member

Hello all and thank you for accepting me into this organization. I have just recently discovered and acquired some hickory golf clubs and have found a new spark for the game of golf with these. Looking for any information and direction as I am in the midst of putting together my first set. Any information and help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hopefully be involved in future events and getting to know some of you.

Equipment Help

Hello, I just joined the group last night and am looking forward to playing. I love the tradition and history of the game. Does anyone know of a good source of hickory clubs other than the bay? Swap meets etc.. possibly in NC?

Thanks

I am overwhelmed by the response to our tragic loss. The outpouring of wishes, food, labor, contributions,etc is beyond comprehension. Thank you all.

An anvil too soon silenced. My son Evan died today. The son any parent would wish for, the husband and father too good to be true, the dedicated farrier all horses dream of, went out to work around his new farm and for no apparent reason just died.

To lose a parent is to lose touch with…
