21st century golf clubs

Mike Hill, an Auckland social golfer and member of the Takapuna Golf Club, used this equipment in 2012. His irons (in the foreground) were Australian-made, with carbon steel heads and carbon shafts. The drivers (at rear) had wooden shafts and forged steel heads. The wheeled trundler enabled Hill to transport a full set of clubs around the course without effort.
