Antique clubs and past players

[jimmyc]

Here's an idea that could be a special on the golf channel or network T.V..

We are convinced that as good as the players were in the "old" days,(Hagan, Ouimet, Gildahl) ,  today's golfers are supposed to be athletically better and have far superior equipment. I can't argue with that, but!

Suppose we took a few of the top pro's, maybe Bubba, Phil, Lee Westwood, etc. and held a charity event.

On the first day, they would have to play with a set of new clubs, their brand choice, that was stock from a store. No fitting, just a standard set from Dicks, Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy etc.

On the second day, they would play the equipment that was used in the roaring 20's, i.e. woods, mashie's niblicks etc.

Also, when using the old clubs they would play by the rulebooks of the 1920's.

The first day they could dress as usual, the second day it has to be nickers and cardigan sweaters etc.

It would have to be a live event, not staged like "Big Break"

Would that be something you could be enticed to watch?

It would give us a prospective of how the equipment and physical nature of the golfer has evolved over the years.

I also would love to hear the commentary of the players, as well as the expert analysts.

Not interesting to me.....

Todays pros don't know how to play with hickory.  It would be silly.......

My 2 cents

Exactly, might bring them down to being humble, and respect for the game of old.
