Golf Quote: “Half of golf is fun; the other half is putting." - Peter Dobereiner

Golf Stuff: Paige Spiranac has shared her thoughts on AimPoint, a green-reading technique used in golf. She initially called for AimPoint to be banned after seeing it used inappropriately during a tournament. However, she later clarified that her issue is not with AimPoint itself, but with how some players use it, which can slow down the pace of play. She emphasized that slow play is a problem at all levels of golf, not just among professionals.

Golf Quote: “The better you putt, the bolder you play." – Don January

Golf Stuff: Golf clubs in 1900 were quite different from what we see today! Here are some key points about them:  Materials: Most golf clubs had hickory wood shafts and heads made from softer woods like pear or beech. Steel shafts were introduced later, around 1925.  Design: The heads were often long and thin, which made them less forgiving and harder to control.  Set Composition: A typical set in 1900 usually consisted of only 6 clubs: a play club (driver), brassie (2- or 3-wood), wooden cleek (4-wood), spoon (5-wood), niblick (wedge), and a putting cleek. Performance: The clubs were less consistent and harder to strike well compared to modern clubs.

Golf Quote: “The real joy of golf is in playing the game for its own sake, not for the score." - Harvey Penick

Golf Stuff: In the 1960s, golfers primarily used persimmon wood for their club heads. Persimmon was favored because it was hard, tough, heavy, and shock-resistant, making it ideal for driving long distances. Other types of wood, such as beech, ash, and maple, were also used, but persimmon was the most popular choice.
