Kevin Moore on the Fried Egg Golf Podcast Talks About The Oil Hardened Classic

We’re huge fans of the Fried Egg Podcast, and it was awesome to hear Kevin Moore as a guest on episode 157 discussing playing strategy and course architecture. It’s a terrific show. Toward the end of the episode the conversation turns to our own Oil Hardened Classic event at Sweetens Cove. Kevin, Andy and Garrett talk about how differently the game plays with classic equipment, and how persimmon woods compare to 460cc titanium. It’s a good chat that yields some great insights. Give it a listen.

The Joy of Persimmon

If you haven’t struck a ball with a persimmon wood you haven’t experienced the true joy of golf yet. There’s just something about the thunderous “THWACK!!!” of a well struck shot that feels so … so beautiful. The anemic “tink” of titanium simply does not compare.

We founded the E.S.G.S because we love that sound. And we love how persimmon feels at impact, just the way we love the perfection of hitting the sweet spot with a quality forged blade.

We hope you’ll join us at gatherings of the Eternal Summery Golf Society to give persimmon a try. Or, if you’re already hooked and regularly game persimmon, bring out your vintage MacGregors, your Cleveland Classics, or your Wood Brothers Texans — whatever real wood woods you have — and show them off to others. The beauty of classic woods and forged irons has to be shared. Our goal is to gather people together to appreciate and play with classic era clubs, or clubs consistent with the classic era, and celebrate the sweet spot of golf’s great history, from the 1930s to the mid-1990s, centered on that perfect year, 1960, the “Eternal Summer.”

We held our first event at Sweeten’s Cove in September, and more are in the works. Hope to see you at future events.

“THWACK!!!”
