  I am a young guy of 34, but I have recently got sucked into old era golf.  I have researched and have learned many organizations exists tht play replica gutta-percha balls as they used in the 1900-1930's.  and so on.

  I think it would be great if wgt could replicate the feel, ball flight of gutta balls as well as hickory shafted clubs.

  Personally, I think it would breat to tee it off on wgt with a Persimmon head hickory shafted driver,  driving iron, pull out a niblick or a mashie.

   

  Complete with era style game avatars.

  WGT, what do you think?

  We've got 'em. Team up the avatar in the plus fours with the EZ Swing clubs.

  Indeed - would newfangled tees be allowed, or only little handmade virtual mounds of dirt, like it was back in the good old days.
