My grandfather passed away earlier this year, and while going through some of his things, I came across his old golf clubs. They look to be in decent condition, though a bit aged. I’m currently using my dad’s old Ben Hogans Radials, which include a 1 Wood and a 3 Wood that are actually made out of wood.
I’m thinking about swapping out most of my clubs for these but wanted to know if it’s a good idea. Are older clubs like these still playable today? Also, how would these compare to modern clubs, especially in terms of performance and feel? Should I restore them, keep them for sentimental value, or try them out on the course?
A friend and I play what we call ‘dead grandpa golf’ a few times a year. The rule is you have to use the set you inherited, including any balls if they’re still around. It’s a fun challenge, and I like to think it’s what grandpa would have wanted.
Solid set, lol. Those Pings would be worth a nice chunk of change if you ever decided to sell them. I’ve been hunting for a good set of copper-finished ones for ages. Also, just looking at that Driver is giving me tinnitus, lol.
