I've been lurking around here this week. Interesting place you guys have here.

"I'm confused, you mention you just landed here but the side profile says you joined in 2013 and have192 posts. Am I missing something? If so welcome"

I just landed here in the "Classic Golf" section. The "Old" Equipment section. I stumbled upon this section via a link posted in a thread over in the "Modern" Equipment forum. I then lurked and scrolled back through the pages reading Classic Golf threads for about a week and realized that: none of my clubs are brand new, and most of the clubs I like best are 12 to 18 years old now. I also have some clubs I really like that are past the 25 year mark now.

Maybe this forum is a better fit for my tastes? I sure don't rush out and buy new clubs. I don't even think about doing it. I don't buy clubs that are only one or two cycles old. I am a cheap old fart, and I am not going to spend $400 to $500 on a golf club that I will be able to buy for $30 later in life. I can wait..... Some of the best drives I've ever hit were with DT90's, or Professional 90's.

The new stuff is overrated, except for the small headed Hybrids. I have to admit that they are easier for me to hit for distance in the fairway than high lofted fairway woods are. I can keep the small headed Hybrid low and control it better. Probably the shorter shaft?

I need to get a t-shirt that says "Cheap Old Fart" to wear to the thrift stores!

I'm here by the same path. and as we all know about golf, it's not the destination, it's the journey.

 

Welcome here. Glad I stuck my head out of my hibernation cave today to see some new friends.

As for a working definition of hoarding, please reference the "Niles Hoard"

 

Perhaps Ironmaster Oddities could provide you with an update.

 

Has it been four years?

My computer crashed shortly after I started this thread.

 

Now my cell phone has also died. I will not surrender!!!
