Notable Notes
Collecting Wood Shaft Clubs
By Chuck Furjanic
Auction houses and club dealers usually sell the finest-grade museum quality scarcities or rarities. Reports of these prices realized cause the uninformed to over estimate the value of grandpa's clubs. Metal shafted clubs with coated or painted shafts made to look like "cane" or "wood" have no collectible value to the wood shaft collector. 99% of all metal shafted clubs have no collectible value. Collectors and dealers feel fewer than 5% of all wood shafted clubs have interest or value beyond decorative or playable worth. In effect, this means about 24 out of every 25 clubs you have or encounter at flea markets or garage sales are common.
One must realize during the period 1920-1935, millions of low grade clubs were made and sold through department, hardware, and sporting goods stores. Spalding, MacGregor, Burke, Kroydon, Hillerich & Bradsby, Wilson, Wright & Ditson and scores of others made clubs with line, dot, hyphen and other face markings. 99% of these are COMMON and have no value beyond decorative, conversational or playable items.
You can identify common clubs by:
* A. No manufacturer's name, or names like: Biltmore, Hollywood, Thistle, Bonnie, Metropolitan, Columbia, Ace, Majestic, etc.
* B. Metal caps at the end of the grip.
* C. Yardage ranges stamped on the back (145-155 yds).
* D. Chromed, chromium, or stainless steel heads.
* E. Numbered irons from sets, or "matched set" irons.
* F. Irons with dots, hyphens, lines or other face scoring.
- Irons - $10.00 to $20.00
- Putters - $15.00 to $30.00
- Woods - $30.00 to $60
Clubs that have not been "cleaned, or refinished" that look all original and slightly used, bring prices in the higher ranges. Clubs that show use, have some rust or are not of 'high quality", bring prices in the lower ranges. Clubs that have been restored, cleaned, have warped or cracked shafts and or hosels, heavy rusting, pitting, bad or missing grips, bring substantially less.
Retail prices for common clubs in Outstanding, Museum or Playable:
- Irons - $30.00 to $50.00
- Putters - $40.00 to $60.00
- Woods - $85.00 to $120.00
Here's how to identify scarce or rare clubs:
# A. Irons with no face markings, or unusual face markings.
# B. Irons or putters with UNUSUAL head shapes. Wood head putters.
# C. Woods with a thick, curved, oval neck covered with 4 or 5 inches of string whipping.
# D. Smooth face irons with the following names: Anderson, Army & Navy, Ayres, Carrick, Forgan, Gray, Morris, Park, and White. Certain Spalding, MacGregor, Condie, Nicoll, Stewart, Gibson and Wright & Ditson with smooth faces.
Clubs are valuable because collectors want them! Common clubs are not in demand by collectors.
Odds & Ends
The Golf Cart Limo measures 19.1 feet in length and boasts a wine rack, stereo, DVD player, an outlet for your laptop, an ice chest, a champagne bucket, outdoor humidor, wrap around lighting, a partition for privacy with enough room left over for two golf bags.
Longest Putt: In 1989, Nick Faldo sinks a 100-foot birdie putt on the second hole at Augusta National in the Masters, the longest putt holed to date in a major tournament. Faldo goes on to win the Masters.
For a twist: On the eve of the Ryder Cup in 1999, Spain’s Jose Maria Olazabal putts a ball a record 9.2 miles during a Concorde flight to the United States. His putt broke American Brad Faxon’s 1997 world record of 8.5 miles (13.68 kilometres) and travelled the length of the supersonic airliner’s 150 foot cabin in 26.17 seconds to land in the cup at the first attempt. With Concorde travelling at 1,270 mph, the ball was actually in motion for 9.232 miles, a spokeswoman for British Airways said. The flight time of three hours six minutes was also a record for the London Boston route.
