Remember to dry out those persimmons after playing in "dewy" conditions.
I don't need to remind you Rihc, but for those who never have played a Super Eye-O-Matic or 693T,
please take care of those treasures. (one of my favorites is a Louise Suggs 3 wood).
A big plus of the "metal woods" for the casual player, when introduced, was that you
could throw them in the trunk and forget about them till you played again.
Not so with persimmon, or even the old laminates.
You needed to take them inside, stand them in corner with head cover off to dry.
Your "bulge and roll" will become "swell and mush" if left wet.

I've been carrying my old persimmon MacGregor 3-wood in the trunk of my car for the past few months and gave it a chance to play last week in a competition at Hunstanton.
I've now put my old Orlimar persimmon driver into the trunk of the car and I will be carrying it this morning at a nearby non-links course (Thornton) and on my next two links adventures (Monifieth later this week and Dornoch next week).
