    Those last three holes proved to me that professional golfers can properly strike and shape shots at will with nearly any equipment. They play at a level I simply cannot comprehend. Also, Mr. Shiels played amazingly well having never touched those sticks prior. Only took him a few holes to make adjustments. Great playing by both men and was very entertaining to watch.

      Hic stx each have their own personal flex points. They are primitive sticks of nature adapted for primitive games. Finding the flex point is key to executing what shot you are trying 🎯. Each club was cut, cast, or forged with breakthroughs like dimples.

      Also he didn't mention that it's smaller than current balls - "The standard size golf ball today is 1.68 inches, but before the nineteen eighties, the minimum size was 1.62 inches."

      and the "play club" (a long nose driver in this case) a little mound of sand was used instead of a tee (which hadn't been thought of then).

      and Old Tom had a son with the same first name. He's the fellow who won the challenge belt outright in 1870 after winning it also in 1868 and 1869. You actually showed a picture of him at the start of your video; Young Tom Morris. Because Young Tom got to keep the challenge belt for winning it three times in a row, the next year they played for a claret jug of all things.

Great stuff
