These shows are attended by many of the collectors and a number of antique club dealers, all selling, swapping and trading clubs and memorabilia. At the larger shows, the number of antique clubs present can reach into six figures. Most of these shows have Hickory Golf Tournaments or events run in conjunction with the trade show. The shows are a great opportunity to find clubs and to meet other people that share an interest in playing and collecting these great old clubs.
