Torrance with his arms aloft after holing the winning putt in the Ryder Cup at the Belfry in 1985

Diamond pattern Pringle jumpers

Leather gloves that lasted about 3 weeks.

Par 4's over 400 yards were considered long!

Waterproofs that weren't!!

Wound golf balls that made a lovely 'click' when you hit them

Wound leather grips that needed washing often

Tiny headed wooden drivers with plastic face inserts

Brown Rubber Spiked Dunlop Golf shoes with kilties on them

Sets of clubs with pro's names on them (Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player)
