Can I Break 80 With Clubs From 1920?

[@gmgolf]

Mark this down as record for worst underdog pick em entry ever

[@Whale_17TV]

Hey I have an equipment question, I have a 3W at 15* and a 5i at 21*, but I’m struggling to find a lefty 3H with 18* loft. Would I be fine with a 19* one even though the distance would be very similar to my 5i?

[@sethcoppinger]

@@Whale_17TV An 18* 5w, 18* 3H, and 18* 2 iron would all travel different distances based on shaft length and launch conditions due to the varying headshapes and their center of gravity. The only way to figure out what club would slot best between your 3w and 5i would be to test a bunch of options out and gap them appropriately.

GARRETT? Sad that you are now promoting gambling sites. You have thousands and thousands of young, impressionable viewers who look up to, admire, and emulate you. The combined revenue for all of these gambling industry companies, has now reached $44 billion dollar a year. Yes, $44 BILLION! The revenues have actually double to that in less than one year. As we are all now very aware of, these companies have now taken over every sport, as the lucrative partnerships between them and college and professional sports teams/leagues is irresistible. The problem of course is that gambling is quickly becoming the number one addiction now in this country. Most who gamble with these companies have a hard enough time buying gas and groceries. Families are now suffering as people get desperate for a big payoff to compensate for their growing debt. The fact is that of all of the bets that are placed, only 4.2% are winners That means that nearly 96% of all of the money bet is lost to these predatory parasites. And of course...their is no moral checks on them anymore! The entire country has been turned away from right or wrong and a sane and healthy moral compass. Our society is dying due to it. People lie, cheat and steal now like never before. Violent crime if through the roof and corruption is everywhere, from the halls of the government, to corporate board rooms, to local school boards and city councils. WE HAVE TRULY FALLEN VERY FAR! Now, I am positive that there will be many here who will attack me for pointing out the obvious and ruining their hedonistic moments, but there are many here, including Garrett Clark, who claim to be great Christians, while they benefit directly from promoting this behavior. Garrett certainly doesn't need the money he gets from the gambling companies, and there are plenty of other more wholesome companies out there who would sponsor him. However, most of the people who gambling don't have the same size bank accounts. Most are living from pay check to pay check, or are in extreme credit card debt. Many of you who are reading this can relate to what I'm saying here. It seems that there is no shame anymore...it is a very poor direction we are headed in. This is my little way of trying to help change that trend! Thanks for your consideration...and may God bless you all!

Because I'm a total nerd for this kind of stuff, I looked up the 1920 British Open on Wikipedia. The course that day played 3,062yds. on the front 9 and 3,591yds. on the back 9 for a total yardage of 6,653 yds. George Duncan was the winner. His four rounds were 80-80-71-72 for a 4 round total of 303 strokes... He won 75 British Pounds for his efforts.

[@michaelboen2314]

And in the 1940s courses were already over 7000 yards. Colonial in 1941 for the US open was just over 7000.

[@garyjones1474]

I have and occasionally play my dad's Gene Sarazen clubs from the 1920s. I'm 85 and have been playing golf off and on since the mid 1940s. Never very good, I must add. Lots of the old clubs, wooden heads and shafts, were soaked in water before playing. Growing up we lived in East Texas, Gregg County. Most of the courses were simply cow pasture courses, 4500 to 5000 yards, and some still had ranging cattle. Unfortunately, many were converted to housing developments right after WW2. I thoroughly enjoy your golf outings. Some remind me of some of our high school antics..

to answer your question about the yardages back then most golf courses were not built with 18 holes so that messes with the yardages a lot. If you watch some of NLUs trip to Scotland youll see that the older courses they play are between 4500-6300 yards.

[@jackdonohue7692]

if you want more info on this topic google "Mapping the Past, Present and Future of Golf Courses" its a study done by USGA

[@Skumtomten1]

The courses back then was crazy though. Lots of hills, elevation changes and blind shots. They were essentially built on and between the natural sand dunes. The biggest change in tech is also probably the balls that go much further and more straight than they used to.

1920 us open was 6569 yard par 71 won by Ted Ray with an avrage score of 73 per day. At the end of the 1st day the low was 69. Most pros back then shot in the mid 70s on the hardest golf courses. Plus you have to account for things like back then you couldn't pick your ball up when putting and even had to shoot around or chip over other players balls in your way when putting. Plus your playing in all mannors of conditions unlike today.

[@verdiguy]

Love watching people using older clubs. I still use my dad's ancient Chi Chi Rodriguez 2 wood. It has awesome loft for a wood and is great on long Par 3's. An old friend, long since departed, had a set of persimmon woods that he was a wizard with. One day, he used the 3 wood off the tee. There was a crack like an explosion and the head sheared off the shaft. He was devastated, especially since the head of the 3 wood actually went farther up the fairway than the ball...Great video guys. Blake and Mo are naturals for these sort of golf challenges.

[@JohnMcKenna-vq7zh]

Garrett, a great friend of mine, who is a scratch golfer only plays hickory shafts now. He won his last tournament he was in. He organized and ran a State hickory shaft tournament last year.

Ryder killed it editing this one!! Garrett don’t forget that the ball you are using is miles ahead of the ball they were using back in the day as well. That would add several strokes because their ball would not go nearly as far as even the supersoft today. Guys that were around 10th place averaged mid to upper 70s.

As part of the Distance Insights project, a joint venture of the USGA and the R&A to study the past, present and future impacts of distance in golf, the USGA examined golf course aerial photographs to learn how individual courses changed over time and to compare courses from different decades. The USGA studied 80 random courses - public and private, from different regions, and representing courses that opened in different decades, from the 1920s through the 2010s. Among the key findings: Most recent courses have the biggest footprints. Courses from the earliest three decades (the 1920s, 30s and 40s) had an average footprint of 152.3 acres. Courses from the three most recent decades had an average footprint of 216.3 acres - an increase of 64 acres. Understandably, course length was closely tied to footprint size. The shortest courses (less than 6,000 yards from the back tees) averaged 112.7 acres in overall footprint and had 18.2 acres of fairways. The longest courses (greater than 7,500 yards from the back tees) averaged 217.1 acres and had 35.2 acres of fairways. In comparing maps of individual courses over the years, the study found the average fairway area decreased by more than 9 acres from the earliest map year to the most recent map year. Total area for greens and bunkers also declined. Greens shrunk from 109,077 square feet to 101,197, while bunkers contracted from 82,573 square feet to 76,823, on average. Read all about the research project - from the methodology to the trends discovered and their implications - in Mapping the Past, Present and Future of Golf Courses from the USGA.

The latest golf ball type you could use to be authentic is a balata ball with a wound rubber core. From 1908. Could have dimples. I think you proved the clubs can be usable with a modern ball. I started playing in 1975. I used to find Titleist balatas on the course with huge smiley faces deeply cut into the cover. No chance those go as straight or as far as a modern ball. For me, and even good golfers back then 250 yds was good from the tee with a balata. With a surlyn I could reach 300 yd par 4's, downwind at least. I could get to a 600 yd par 5 driver, 3 wood, again downwind in Kansas.
