If You Had Money, Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Issue 11
Posted on December 10th, 2008 by Mike under if you had moneyEach Wednesday, I post a weekly update to the digest “If You Had Money”, which shows the sporting goods and memorabilia you could purchase if disposable income was no longer a thing of the past. Each week, it will inevitably leave you wanting…
Afternoon, paper chasers. Something nifty for all you folks out there with Senatorial seat-bidding cash on hand…
This is possibly America’s oldest manufactured golf club. Do I hear $155,000 please?
And it sounds like somebody did there homework here….Rafter Radiocarbon Laboratories in New Zealand dates the wood back to 1760 (+/- 40 years). Also, the design is crude as compared to the Scottish clubs that were being produced at the time, and they believe that this stick was made by a U.S. blacksmith.
Despite it’s origins on this side of the pond, this club come with a lifetime membership to the Old Course at St. Andrews, and a welcome invitation to engage in night putting with the Dunhill town strumpet anytime you feel compelled.
NOTE: If you’re going to get the sticks, you have to have the attire to match…I’m talking pre-Judge Schmales era. I’d suggest going with the Purple and Taupe Payne Stewart get-up (c/o GolfKnickers.com)

I just looked at your RSS feed and it gave me an error. Can you post your RSS feed url when you have a chance? I don’t check email very often.
