Hello,
I've been working on a website dedicated to traditional golf and related topics and it is finally ready to release. I'd like to personally invite you all to sign up and contribute. Basically what I'm trying to establish is a social network of traditional (classic) golf players. There is no hard and fast definition of "traditional golf" but in general we're talking about woods made out of wood and irons made out of metal only (preferably blades) with a focus on precision, skill, and risk/reward aspects of golf over pure speed and power (all played on classic tracks that promote shotmaking). I realize that this is a very modern forum and modern technology is fully embraced. That's great. I also know that some of you mix in older/traditional gear either for practice or just to change it up if you're playing a shorter course. I think we can coexist.
There are a bunch of players all over the globe who enjoy a more traditional style of golf but usually we're too spread out to get together for tournaments or establish local foursomes or whatever. This gives us a chance to come together and establish profiles, tell stories, promote causes, discuss equipment and equipment modification, etc. More progressive causes like a ball rollback or rules bifurcation will not be out of bounds but you certainly can take as much or as little as you like. Eventually we will build up interviews, course reviews of persimmon friendly tracks, equipment repair guides, etc. The one thing that I want to stress is that this site is forward looking so while we'll certainly maintain an appreciation and respect for clubs and swings from the golden era of golf, we'll also promote companies like Louisville Golf and Persimmon Golf UK who are bringing the traditional form right into the modern age.
As a new site it may still have a few bugs but I promise to work through them as quickly and efficiently as possible whenever they arise. If you don't feel like another message board maybe just subscribe to the rss feed and you'll be updated when I post new articles on the front page.
All of this is, of course, not for profit.
Anyways, here it is: www.persimmongolftoday.org
Thanks Richie for letting me post. I do follow this forum (usually under other names) which is why I know that posting here might find a few eyes. I'll be sure to come back and contribute with more posts and less views.
