Tips From The Pro

Q. I have some old hickory shafted golf clubs. Are they worth anything?

A. There are many hickory shafted clubs out there. Many heads were forged in Scotland and shipped to North America where club makers shafted them with local hickory. Average pricing runs around $15 per club, but there are some that have collectible value. Check the website www.hickorygolf.com.

When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.

A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent’s luck.

It is surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt—for a nine!
