All in all, though, there is value in the craftsmanship that goes into something that remains valued many years after it was designed and created.
Yesterday I collected two Titleist Vokey wedges that I searched for and found on Ebay.
I look forward to taking these two clubs out to practice then play with them on the golf course. They are classic designs in great condition for a fraction of the price of a new equivalent, yet what I will love the most is the feeling of holding and using a quality and timeless piece of craftsmanship.
As I collected them, the vendor and I chatted about our love for classic golf clubs. Some people like classic cars, others classic vintage clothing, others antique furniture, other love classic movies or works of fiction. I love most of these things, plus I actually play golf with clubs that are classics, enjoying them far more than I would some high tech new equivalent.
All in all, though, there is value in the craftsmanship that goes into something that remains valued many years after it was designed and created.
It makes me muse on what we create in our work and what value there may be in that years or even decades into the future.
I recently reached a natural stopping point with a client I had worked with for nearly a year. It was most gratifying for them to remark on the value created by our work togther and how it has built a platform for them that will last years into the future.
What craftsmanship are we each bringing to create what others will value?
