Title: Yo...Clive.....

you still refinish wooden clubheads?  I had to drive the missus 'round to garage sales today and found some Jack Nicklaus Golden Bear laminated maple (?) heads.  I only want the 4 wood and would send you the 1 & 3 for shipping.  LMK.

They could really use a refinish too.

I haven't found a source out here for whipping the hosels -- never tried my hand at that part of the job.  I could take a shot at it, and/or I could do everything up to that point, ship back, and you'd have to find someone to apply the whipping.

Take a look at the set screws in the backs of the hosels first.  If they look really deep and/or stripped, I make no guarantees.  Those things are a PITA.  (Assumes you'd be looking at a reshafting.  Otherwise, nevermind.)

Uhhmmmm........sorry I didn't make myself clear. [sm_redface] [sm_dunno]

The 1 and 3 are yours if you want them.  The 4 is in good enough shape for me to use, no refinishing needed for that one.

Ah, Bach.  [sm_oops]

Tempting and generous, but I must pass.  I'm just not into golf much these days ("these days" defined in terms of months), and I honestly don't see myself using them, prettied up or not.

What's the deal with kickin' it old school?

Get a Big Bertha 4 wood off EBay for about 17 bucks.

You smoke that sumbitch the way I do mine.  8)

Clive's anachronistic.  You knew that.  Assless chaps are so 1985.

Man, I Wiki'd that anachronistic and am more lost now then I was before.

Quote
An anachronism (from the Greek "ανά", "against", and "χρόνος", "time") is anything that is temporally incongruous in the time period it has been placed in—that is, it appears in a temporal context in which it seems sufficiently out of place as to be peculiar, incomprehensible or impossible. The item is often an object, but may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material, a custom, or anything else closely enough bound to a particular period as to seem odd outside it.

So even if you blow off the meaning don't those words just scream "Clive"?

The response that just popped into my head is over the top even for this place.

That's why we keep you around.  That, and you buy good beer.

I'll get back to you later this week, when I have time for such frivolity.  Oh yeah, I'll need a shipping addy.  I may have once had it but I'm old and forgetful.
