Great blog Richard, and one that I can certainly relate to. I, too, have one of my Dad's favorite golf clubs - a persimmon (sp?) wooden McGregor driver with screws in the face. I saw him hit many drives with that club and decided that was the one I would keep. I also have a 15 (yes, 15) wood. While playing a round of golf at New Orleans' City Park Golf Course back in the mid-1970's, I went to the pro shop after the round and saw a big barrel of random golf clubs for sale. I saw woods that I had never seen before - i.e., above 8-wood. There was a 9, 10, 11, all the way up to 15 wood. They were all from the same set and made by the same company, Northwestern I think. The pro said that a man had finally decided to give up on his all-wood set of clubs and buy a traditional set with woods and irons. Thus, nos. 1 through 15 in the barrel. I thought that was neat, so I bought the 15-wood as a souvenier. I have hit the club several times, but it is very weird due to the elevation of the face. Basically, I could get about 155-160 yards with it, or a soft 7 iron. I also have a few irons with the wooden shafts, but my favorite is my Acushnet Bulls Eye putter. My Dad bought it for my before my sophomore year in high school (age 15), so that makes the club 50 years old now. That putter took me through my best rounds ever in golf, including high school and college golf, and my years as an adult golfer. I tried different putters from time to time, but always came back to the Bulls Eye. It's in my garage as I am writing this post. I could go on and on forever on this, and I know you can certainly relate to all of this.
