Whispering Pines: The Persimmon Open on May 9 was a step back in time for 10 players who decided to play a round with persimmon woods, hickory shafted putters, blade irons and golf balls that were last produced in 1998.
It was the challenge they all expected. The Maxfli HT Urethane 90 just didn’t fly off the club like the balls that abound for length and spin that are on the market today. Longer iron shots were needed to reach the greens, and the putting held true – good putters did just fine.
On the first hole, only two players hit past the 150-yard marker. With their regular clubs, all 10 players would have hit drives that landed well past the 150 marker. All players found it very interesting and all agreed that they really appreciate how modern technology has changed the way the game is played today.
The players enjoyed the event, which used a two-man, best ball format. Three teams tied at 77: Chuck Daley and Dean Donley, Ron Saylor and Bill Wade, and Hal Dugenske and John Hogle. Herb Conway and Paul Sams, and Fred Lloyd and Mark Perreault tied at 78.
