Played with a guy who has remastered golf clubs from the early 1900’s

This is the second time I’ve played with him actually, I think I may have posted about it last time too.
He’s a young guy, late 20’s I’d say
These clubs are incredible, he paid thousands of dollars to have them refurbished and restored to their original condition. His clubs are all circa 1910-1940 and in perfect condition, these things could be in a museum. He says he likes playing the old game, although he does use a modern ball.
Here’s the thing, he SUCKS, and it’s not the clubs, he can barely make contact, he shanks half his shots, can’t putt, thins and chunks wedges routinely. I let him hit a tee shot with my driver and he shanked that too.
Not that I care about other peoples skill, it’s just a funny juxtaposition, he reveres the game so much he spends serious money to play antiques but he’s absolutely HORRIBLE.

You suck too, just at a different level.

Oh no doubt, but I also am not devoting thousands of dollars to intentionally handicap myself. I’ll take all the help I can get!

None of us make a living playing the game. If that’s what he enjoys, so be it.
I think it’s pretty cool personally, but I’ll also stick with my modern equipment.

Man, the way your post started is not how I thought it was going to finish.

There is a golf league I saw on golf channel one time about a bunch of hipsters that dress in old clothes and use old golf clothes and play
And yes they sucked

He wasn’t dressed in old clothes but maybe they are all friends!

My league played at Audubon Park behind a couple of groups of guys playing hickories. Was pretty cool I thought.

Pretty sure half the people in here both suck and have spent a butt ton of money on golf. Me included.
