It takes me back to the days when I would refinish ten sets a week. It has become a lost art.<\/p>\n<p>I conducted a repair and golf club refinishing school in Michigan in the 1980s. Now there is a handful of club repairmen in the world who refinish old wood heads.<\/p>\n<p>Antique woods make an attractive wall piece for the den or office. The grain in a Persimmon wood is different on each head and, much like a fingerprint, each one is different. And very eye-catching, a great conversation piece.<\/p>\n<p>Also, there was nothing like the sound of a golf ball being launched from a persimmon wood, much like the sound of a wooden bat in baseball.<\/p>\n<p>When shopping at a garage sale, keep an eye out for antique woods and add a touch of nostalgia to your life. You will then enjoy this great game called golf while in your office or den.<\/p>\n<p>Rick Musselman, golf author and professional, owns Musselman\u2019s Golf in Williamsport<\/p>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sungazette.com\/sports\/local-sports\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">    <\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sungazette.com\/sports\/local-sports\/2025\/09\/after-disappointing-opener-lyco-hopes-to-rebound-with-a-win-this-week-on-the-road\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sungazette.com\/sports\/local-sports\/2025\/09\/golf-tip-of-the-week-antique-golf-clubs-can-make-great-wall-mounts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sungazette.com\/sports\/local-sports\/2025\/09\/lhu-hopes-to-beat-indiana-pa-on-road-in-football\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>Lock Haven won an exciting game last week, holding off Glenville State as the defense played well the final two &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sungazette.com\/sports\/local-sports\/2025\/09\/neil-rudel-on-psu-villanova-helped-shape-penn-states-future\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>Some nitpicking as the Nittany Lions prepare to wrap up their non-conference schedule:<\/p>\n<p>Penn State\u2019s move to the &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sungazette.com\/sports\/local-sports\/2025\/09\/bison-begin-4-game-home-stretch-today-vs-vmi-in-football\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>LEWISBURG \u2014 Bucknell will begin its first four-game home stretch since its Patriot League Championship season of &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>                    <a style=\"color:#2a2a2a;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sungazette.com\/sports\/local-sports\/2025\/09\/milton-blanks-south-williamsport-to-win-tomato-bowl\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>MILTON \u2014 The running backs ran rampant in what turned out to be a physical edition of the Tomato Bowl between &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHOTO PROVIDED Antique golf clubs can make great wall mounts.
