Club House Golf


What a great find. This is one of the more interesting bristle boards I have ever seen, and I bought it in brand new condition. Any holes in the board are made by me and the ultra-light apex style darts that came with the board. My buddy Barn and I staarted throwing a game on it but it was so hard to hit the fairways and holes that we had to quit for dinner. You can really see the biscuits in the board, and I would say not very many tons of pressure went into making the board itself as the darts, even the light ones, slide into the board with minimal effort. This makes me think the board would get chewed up quickly so I will not play on it too much.


The score boards are a sort of black plexiglass with white writing on them and seem to be set up for a very particular sort of golf game. There were no rules sent with the board so I am not real sure what the exact rules are but probably they are similar to real golf. The board also came with one of those white wax markers for keeping score on the black plexiglass. Pretty clever and nice looking set up.


The Board also came with six ultra-light Apex darts. They only weight XX grams. I think these were included so the board would last a bit longer. The sisal fibers are so loose that if you were to throw your average 26 gram MP dart the board would be destroyed in short order!!


One thing I really like about this board is the attention to detail and fine craftsmanship. There are some extras that they didn't really have to include in the building of it such as the sign on top the cabinet, the little golf flag, the green material behind the board, etc. Very nicely done! Here is a good view of the overall effect:

I have one of these boards but only the board. I would like to find the case and the scorecards. Your pictue shows a phone number across the bottom of the case but the darts are covering the number. Can you tell me what the full number is?

Thanks

Hi there DawPounder. The cabinet for this board is in storage at the moment and I do not have immediate access to it. If I remember correctly, I tried calling the number on the case and it was a dead number. I'd consider selling you mine if the price were right. I definitely paid a premium for mine.

Let me know, if it is resonable I am interested. Thanks billwolfgand@earthlink.net

Feel free to email me. My addy is zeeple at gmail. I am not sure what I would let it go for.. I never really considered selling it before. You'd have to make an offer probably.
