Christian Small is a 20 year PGA Pro who's been involved in golf at just about every level. He sees the game quite simply but understands how complicated it really is. Or is it?

He's a big, deep thinker with some very good thoughts.

Hickory Dickory Most Definitely DO!

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 03:43:54 GMT

Hickory golf? Kooky? Of course. Fun? Most definitely! Good for your 'real' golf game? Obviously - though I'm not sure why, but it is.

Consider this an invitation to become a national champion!

Phil Baird is mad for it, he plays the wooden shafts Friday afternoons at Manly Golf Club and he's really very good. Funnily enough, since playing a bit with him, my handicap's come in. Coincidence? Maybe... but maybe not.
