I love golf and I love that collecting vintage golf clubs is part of my work!
I get them from the thrift stores and metal yards around Durham, and I'm usually visiting one of these places each week as I go through dozens of clubs a month.

This is a small wall art piece made on a piece of an applejack brandy keg stave.
Mounted to the charred interior portion of the stave is a collection of distressed golf pencils found on my local courses, and a 1973 Canadian penny. It's cool because there's a slight curve of the stave on the top and bottom you can see the and grain of a solid oak.
