“Hidden in plain sight” persimmon and blades are everywhere and not hard to find. You can dabble in the best clubs of the era for pocket change compared to modern clubs. Happy to point anyone in the right direction if you DM me.

There is a little slice of 9 hole heaven in Walpole, NH. Hooper Golf Course represents everything that I personally love about golf. Reasonably priced, fun design, good conditions, no snobbery, and small town feel. They keep making improvements to the course each year and it shows.

For me, these imperfections really bring out the hand made nature of these clubs. John took a block of persimmon and crafted it into a beautiful golf club with his own two hands.

MacGregor was a giant in golf for a very long time. These are one of my favorite blade irons of theirs from about 1960. The details on these are so cool and largely missing today. Golf Pride green victory full cord with rib are the literal cherry on top! retrogolf
