Pictures of Catalogs

Re: Alaska Fox J Grade SBT on the course

Frank, in my opinion, that stock is fiddleback maple. It resembles the W.C. Letterman stock that Kevin McCormack installed on his J Grade. Maybe done by the same stockmaker.

The "gift gun" was in the hands of a PGCA member, who later sold it. I don't know where it is today.

Re: Name That Name on Card
