Guess if I have feelings on this or not.

Side note on this, the guy at the golf shop was telling me Otey Crisman was basically the Scotty Cameron of his day and these putters were very popular amongst pros in the 50’s and 60’s. Here’s an article with some more info:
Edit: Actually this is much more detailed, maybe just don’t check into any special edition models they’re selling in the shop right now

Probable setup:
1950s Persimmon MacGregor Driver
2004 MP32 Mizuno Irons
100+ year old Ben Sayers Gruvsol putter (with original square shaft
Question: should wedges be a separate category? Or do they disqualify the iron category?
Currently gaming the MP32s already (through GW), but my sand and lob wedges are modern

Love the set! You strike me as someone with a distinct advantage, having used some of these clubs before
The wedges fall within the irons category, so try to find something early 00’s to match what you’ve got otherwise.
I’d also recommend you grab a persimmon 3 or 5w to throw in, if only for the category points
Assuming you find matching wedges and snag a persimmon 3w or 5w
2pt D
2pt FW
1pt Irons
3pt Putter
You’d be looking at 8pts bonus, which putts you on the gold tees and a chance to achieve a quota of 26 on a 5200yd course!

Maybe I missed this, but … Do we have to game a full set? Not sure this drive is going to go that much farther than my 4 iron, and it’s not difficult to hit off the deck. So I could probably get away with not having another wood… unless of course I have to.

absolutely not, play a half set, grab the pieces you like, whatever floats your boat.

if you have no clubs for a category you won’t get a bonus there either

I do - a lot! But in a cart, I probably won’t. There’s time to find a sand wedge and a wood. I’ll see if I can rack up lol.

Starting to put my bag together for this. Looking for a ruling on a Ray Cook Austin 1 like this.
I can’t find an age anywhere but I am thinking 2 pts is about the right wheelhouse. May end up with a hickory putter anyway. So many decisions.

I just found a set of McGregor tourney blades from 1967 I think, but they don’t get me any more points than my Hogans. Sad!

I’m quite torn between gaming the system and following the spirit of the event lol

You also thinking about putting hickory shafts in some g440 irons?

I picked up a zebra putter for $10 that would be fun to use, but if I wanted to be scummy I could use the older putter I have and try to pick up a classic qualifying driver instead of all persimmon woods 
Btw the only thing I could find out about my irons is that Fuzzy used a set of them in what looks like 1983, might need a ruling from the great leader

Not a ruling but an opinion: those have sex appeal.

Update: my search says they were made 1966-1969.

I believe they used model names for a long time - any model number on the ferrules? I was able to date my Levelumes that way.
PowerBilts are great blades from the era not as much hype as other brands but great quality.
Edit: I think your 83 is correct, found some images on iron finder and the 60s/70s Scotch blades use block lettering, 83 is the only one with the script:
83-85
Mid 70s
Mid/late 60s

Also my finding - the script logo and rounded edges seems to suggest mid 80s models, which would put them (on the early end of) the 1pt category rather than the 2pt category
