So hear me out about my idea for the next golf outing here in the DMV (or even a THP Event sometime)

It's called Retro or Throwback Tournament.


  • idea is that you play with older clubs.
  • they can be as old as you want ... 20 years old, hickory shafted, mashie, blades, etc.
  • play with an older ball ... feathery (if you can find one), true balata ball, or even the Rock-flight of the '70s
  • the thought is that we all compare our games now with our current technology vs the "lack" of technology of yesteryear
  • does it make a difference?
  • is technology that much better for your game?
  • or can you play with a shell attached to a piece of bamboo .... it doesn't matter, you have the game for all.

I have a number of clubs I could choose from. Including Hogan Persimmon woods & Staff Blades of the late 70's.

So what do you think? Could we make this work?

Throw out some ideas & thoughts. Tell me I'm idiotic & it's never going to happen. :)

GO!
 
Not a good idea huh :banghead:
 
Retro/Throwback would be tough. Could change it to Garage sale or goodwill type finds. Limit $ spent somewhere like $20 for a full set.
 
What about clubs have to be older than 20 years to be qualified?
