What I've Been Learning and Plans for 2026 - Hickory Hacker's Hickory Golf Workshop

In this video, hickory golfer and long-nose clubmaker Christian Williams shares what he's been up to since his last workshop update and offers a peek at what's planned for the channel in 2026. Williams is a Long Island, NY-based interactive golf historian and club maker with a high handicap, sharing his passion for the game through this channel where he shows how to collect, repair, and play with antique, wood-shafted golf clubs. He's also the maker of WULFF long-nose golf clubs and gutties, which are handcrafted and playable golf clubs and balls inspired by 19th-century designs that are suitable for playing pre-1900 gutty golf and pre-1850 featherie golf - the two styles of golf played before the advent of the modern, rubber-cored golf ball.
