@Kayla Henning ? 100-year old clubs are not too hard to find and they are not really that expensive. Putters and certain rare models are, but thousands of standard models were produced, so they're out there.

They would have to be hickory clubs. I don't believe metal shafts were commonly available until about 1930.

[@ambsquared]

When I played St. Andrews years ago, I found a Dunlop 65 when searching in the gorse for my ball. Made a great souvenir. Not sure how old it was since that ball was made for a long time. Probably the second best thing about my round there. Getting applause from the tourists watching on 18 was really nice. They must have really appreciated my 2 putt for bogey.

[@martyburke5569]

Absolutely agree.

[@WootTootZoot]

My father would have been 97 this year. He was the most amazing golfer I've ever known. He was never one for new styles of clubs or equipment and played all of his games until just before he fell terminally ill, with a small canvas golf bag that he found in a second had store in St George Utah, with a #2 persimmon head driver that he only used on par 4 or 5. A #1 Iron, a mashie and a pitching niblick, seriously, and a putter one of his students made for him in High School shop class when he first started teaching. He had a golf pro re-do the mashie and niblick onto steel shafts and told me once"no man will ever make a better club". His original golf bag was an old burlap sack he had my Mother cut down and tie a strap on to it and found the other bag just as the burlap bag was falling apart. He tee'd off with the #1 Iron and could hit a ball at the age of 70 farther than I could at 30. He was teased relentlessly by guys at the golf club he belonged to, but refused to change and I honestly believe he took great pride in the fact he could beat these guys with their fancy bags full of brand new clubs of all sizes, and he hated the new style of golf balls. He said there was no control in them. He was a Scotsman, born and raised, was a child of the depression and lived to be as frugal and thrifty as he could, and lived to that off beat beat of the drum his entire life. Sometimes I miss him, sometimes I think about all the times he pissed me off, but god damn, there will never be another golfer like him anytime soon. (sorry, a bit of topic, but I was just kind of in that place)

The old balata 3-piece balls always cut so easy. Miss hits were a learning experience. But they felt so soft unlike the early surlyn covers. Cut open one and the rubber bands just kept undoing themselves as though it were alive! Inside, the very first Super Balls.

[@RickShielsPGA]

[@TheWok1336]

@@RickShielsPGA I'm not a golfer but i can see that 'every' ball has a alignment, just Like the 'straight flight' ball it comes down to wanting slightly more drag on the outside edges (sides) of the ball, and/or less drag along the middle line of the ball. I would suggest with any ball, to find the smoothest line on the ball with the least dimples and use that line as your alignment. Would be interesting to see a balls air drag demonstrated in a wind tunnel, with some way of applying spin to the ball, also a comparison between an aligned ball and a miss aligned ball. You could also show how backspin creates loft :) @Ron L. I feel a little like I've hijacked your post... sorry about that :) Side note: I'm not a golfer because its too expensive, and really not that inviting to new players, feels a bit like an elite invite only club. From video games and the small amount i have played it seems that the game itself is awesome.

[@lawrenceshdow]

It's not inviting because of pre conceived notions. And it's actually incredibly affordable. I could send ya some clubs to get started if you need them?? Let me know. Or just start by wacking at a ball on a hunk of grass somewhere! How cheap can it be? My local course; 18 hole, full length and pretty nice (I live in the middle of no where though), gave a locals special for $150; unlimited golf for 3 years!!!! Before that; when I lived in the cities; I could easily find rounds of golf for less than 20 dollars using websites for deals. Even as low as 8 dollars! That's 3 to 4 hours of entertainment for under 20 dollars. That's a pretty good deal. A movie costs more than that! Let me know your area and I can help ya find some great deals around ya... Golf is great so the sooner you get into it the better!

[@OLD-MAN-GOLF-USA]

I'm 65 years old, started playing at age 11 in 1965. By 1975 I was a scratch player (still am). I still have my old Toney Penna persimmon driver and 3 wood from the 70's along with my Wilson Staff Blades. Once a year I go out and play with a wound balata ball and my 1970's clubs. It is incredibly difficult! The balls go nowhere and the driver won't go more than 20 feet high!. These balls have tremendous spin and you need to pretty much carry the pitches, chips and bunker shots all the way to the hole. I hit the old driver and wound ball about 35 yards shorter and the irons are 2 clubs shorter to the green. so in effect, it's about a driver and 4-5 iron to equal today/s driver 9 iron. On the longer par 4's I hit a lot of 3 wood second shots. With all that difference I still score within 4-5 shots of using my current equipment. It's a lot of fun and makes me appreciate today's equipment. Honestly I hit all clubs further today (150 9 iron, 265 average off the tee) than I ever did when I was younger...

Ummmmm lol...am I the only one that heard Rick say "they had TV in the 20s" 😳

[@Rynwater]

Alex Hardt the first TV was invented in 1927 so he wasn’t wrong fellas

@Alex Hardt yeah man hate to say it but you're wrong

[@dolans_w230]

The first TV may have been invented in 27 but they weren't widely available until the 50s so 🤷‍♂️
