Here, in this series of three parties in the valuation of antique golf club, we look at the grip, the shaft end grain, and wood rot factors to determine the authenticity and value of a golf club vintage.
Bond inspection
Only a small percentage of old golf clubs have their original grip. The older the club has more opportunities regripped when in use. Grab the clubs tend to come in two types of walnut main softish or leather to hard. The biggest clue about whether a grip is original is looking for small tacks (nails) or holes in the shaft of the items above at the bottom, and in particular the top of the handle. Previous holes in the bottom, of course, can be handled by the newer, but it is very difficult to conceal completely or tack holes at the top. Do not automatically become concerned if they suspect that the grip is not original. The fact that a grip is original is not usually a factor to determine the authenticity of an old golf club. We turn now to an inspection of the wooden shaft.
The grain of the shaft end
When viewing the stock front axle with the club face wrinkled as if hitting a ball, the grain of wood in general, should run from left to right rather than top down. The Hickory grain running in this sense also makes it less likely for the split shaft when the club used in the game. If the grain is generally left to address, clearly indicating that it was not installed by a skilled craftsman club, and a validation (or not) nature of the vintage.
Wood Rot
It is not uncommon to find wood trees that have rotted the butt end of club. The wood can be literally falling apart or you can be very soft. Gentle pressure with a finger tip can reveal any underlying conditions. If the tip is falling then you can consider removing a few inches, but you need to know to what extent, before it was solid wood. Often, it will be clear to you from the beginning, the club is not, nor ever will be, playable. That does not prevent you from making it a piece of valuable and attractive display. If the wood is very soft and then some liberal coats of varnish can be quite difficult to stabilize and make and attractive to the screen.
