Antique Hickory Golf Clubs
The first thing to do is to find and join up with a regional hickory golf group if you can. These players are usually the best references to whom in their group has antique clubs available, or who restores clubs. Often times you can use a lender set to get some experience before you buy your own clubs.
The next alternative is to browse E-Bay for ‘hickory golf clubs’. There are numerous people who have listings for clubs all the time. You may find some in restored condition or you may find them in as-found condition. All of this can be dealt with if you take your time and ask questions as you go. If you are handy be sure to read ‘Ralph’s Original’ information on how to restore clubs!
If you want to get a feel for it, you may want to join the Golf Heritage Society (Golf Collectors Society). Attending a trade show can really open your eyes to the entire array of clubs and other golf collectables. There are still a lot of traders selling good antique clubs.
Browse all the sites you can find and look for information on acquiring and restoring antique hickory golf clubs.
