If you hear any conversation involving antique collectors club golf, there are some things you are almost certain to hear that discussed. Unfortunately, old plates, is not likely to be one of those things. No doubt you will know the fascination of hickory golf club and how all involved in the conversation has a collection of golf memorabilia is a bit better than the others.
However, old plates seem to gather very little attention despite having a highly regarded role in the history of golf.
Perhaps one explanation is that, although the history of golf itself goes back to mid 15th century, is widely accepted that iron is not introduced on a large scale until the late 18th century in Scotland, the home of golf as we know it.
Another possible explanation is the annoyance of many of the first in which these additional plates club created more options, and markedly reduced the pace of play.
Initially, they were introduced as plates, and is used to, from hitting, raw or otherwise lies not playable. Almost 100 years later, in late 1870's, old plates expanded its reach in the arsenal of a player with the introduction of the driving mid-range irons and irons. Until we began to increase actually its popularity during this time, most were produced by blacksmiths.
The other interesting fact about ancient plates is common knowledge the avid collector, but probably not all was the naming conventions associated with these clubs. Unlike today the names of as two iron plates, iron 3, etc. 7 iron, instead today find old plates Cleeks call (equivalent to a 2-iron), chiggers (wedge today), Mashi (5 iron) and Niblicks (9 plates). They also lacked then and now, a common feature, and which were not mass produced, but shaped by individual blacksmiths.
Looking back in the history of golf, it is clear that the old plates have played an important role to play in the evolution of the game. There are some interesting aspects to the collection of golf clubs, antiques, and could be the reason they are sometimes more shade. I hope your assessment of them grows a little with this knowledge new role in the history of golf.
