There's been a growing interest in pre-1935 hickory clubs and 1950-1990 steel shaft persimmons & irons. Let's exchange info on makers, how to build a set, connections to people that do restoration and reproductions, etc.
I'll start with hickories since I restore & play them. A number of states have active hickory groups who are very knowledgeable & helpful. The first organization I recommend joining is The Society of Hickory Golfers, tremendous resource for all things hickory including posting hickory scores & a hickory handicap system. Only $65/year: https://www.hickorygolfers.com/membership-join/
I've started dabbling in vintage/retro clubs with sets from 1958 (MacGregor) & 1970 (Hogan). Garage sales, auctions, 2nd hand/thrift shops, eBay are just some places to find gear. There's quite a few sites on IG for retro/persimmon, etc. aficionados too.
I'm in WI & you can find me on IG at: the pond is good for you or X at: golf69ski88
