The value of hickory golf clubs largely depends on age, condition and rarity.
Hickory Golf, that is the playing with antique clubs, has boomed over the past few decades and it is now a pastime enjoyed by golfers all over the world. It is a great alternative way to enjoy the fantastic game of golf and experience what the game was like in the days of Harry Vardon, James Braid, John Henry Taylor, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones...the list of great players goes on and on.
I have been collecting and restoring golf clubs for play since 2004. Besides rental sets, I also make available sets to purchase. To get the most out of hickory golf it is worth taking advice from someone knowledgeable in the field. Whilst most people will be able to play with any set, as with modern sets of clubs some will definitely be more suitable to your physical stature and playing ability than others. So, whether you're an experienced hickory golfer, or just dipping your toe in the water, please get in touch so I can advise you.
I stock a considerable number of clubs at any one time. Shown below are just some of the clubs that I have available (or have had available as they sell quickly!). So drop me a line with your requirements and I will do my very best to serve you with professionalism, openess and honesty.
Please note, items all items are sold in accordance with UK consumer law.
