The site features a random mix of equipment coolness in the form of a single daily pic, including the occasional old school gem. Here are a few from the gallery that I particularly enjoyed:

A nice Cameron Bullseye. I'm not actually a big Scotty Cameron fan, but I love Bullseye putters and he makes some cool ones. I had one of the Pro Platinum ones for a while but sold it on eBay. I've totally regretted letting it go. I'm on the hunt for another Bullseye blade to round out my putter rota.

Wilson Staff blades. Ever-cool. Nice sets can regularly be had on eBay for under $200, often far less. Think twice before you pour $900 into new forged blades.

Ping Scottsdale Anser. Maybe the greatest putter ever? Certainly one of the top three, no?

This pic is the gem of the bunch. I literally gasped when I saw it. BeCu wedges galore! Look at the sole on that Ping Eye2 in the upper left corner. I had one of those wedges and I can attest they are spectacularly playable - name the shot, any lie, you got it. Look at that minty Cleveland Byron Nelson 50th in the middle, and another new-looking copper Cleveland peeking out behind it. I'm dying to get my hands on one of those. I see Staff and VIP wedges too. This shot has me drooling. I'm pretty excited about the upcoming golf show that hits Detroit every spring. I'll be making a bee-line straight for the used wedge barrels. With some luck I'll find something good.
We have a good foot of snow on the ground here, so golf seems pretty far away (in fact, it's snowing right now, again - arghhh!). I haven't thought about the game much the last couple of weeks. It's too painful! I really want to play but I'll have to wait about two more months. Finding GolfClubpix.com and seeing these great clubs is helping to get me excited again!

Great pics! Thanks for the link; as a lover of golf equipment it is a great to have a look. I also have some sets of Wilson tour blades. I bought some similar to those pictured, they are 1984-86 fluid feels, 1 iron to pw. They are well used but definately still playable. I paid $29 for these!! No need for headcovers either (as you may want with new Miuras) as they have a dignified well played look. I also have a be-cu Ping Zing 2 60 degree lob wedge that someone gave me. I haven't used it as it looked too wierd to play. After reading this I might have to give it a go!
Those Ping Zing2s are pretty ugly, no question. But while I'm a total classic blades kind of guy I have a real soft spot for Pings, especially the older irons and putters, and they made fabulous laminated woods. Someday I'm going to put together an old-school Ping set with BeCu Eye2s and blonde Zing laminated woods. I had both in the past and really loved them.
I have the same feeling towards (older) PING equipment. Just today I purchased a Eye2 Sandwedge and a Eye2 1 iron, both BeCu. And I only use PING putters. The rest of my bag (PING L8) contains blades and a persimmon driver (if I'm not using my old trusty TM Tour Preferred driver). Only "new" driver I consider buying is a... PING (Tisi Tec). Not anytime soon though as I've bought too many clubs these past couple of months allready.
