This week on The Approach Shot we share Golf Stories with the President of The Golf Heritage society, Dr. Bern Bernacki. Bern is a great guy with some fantastic stories and some advice on anyone who is or wants to get into collecting golf items. It's never too late to start collecting Historical Golf souvenirs or starting with a contemporary collection and waiting until it becomes historical!

Another fun, funny, entertaining and informative edition of The Approach Shot

As member number three in the Golf Collectors Society (Now the Golf Heritage Society), John Capers III knows a lot about the value of preserving golf heritage and has established himself as one of the world's authorities on Club archives. His personal devotion and example have set the bar for Clubs worldwide to emulate, and he's an advocate for sharing this work. Any club can, nee should, commit to conserve their history--as John puts it--it is never too soon to start on this journey, regardless of the age of your course or club. In this episode, we explore the essential steps for clubs to consider when starting an archive, how John's years of work have changed his own relationship with the members at his club and with the club's role in its community, and just a little bit about how the chase works to secure often rare and singular artifacts that are iconic emblems of one's club's legacy and past.
