That shot off the deck was about one of the greatest shots I've ever watched. Especially when you're talking it to the hole, man just greatness. Be well you two.
I started golf in about 1960. A friends righty clubs, but I am a lefty. Still play right handed, except for always have putted lefty. Got pretty good hitting those clubs. Then another friend gave me some older clubs yet to fill out my set. They were hickory shafted. Could hit those irons as good as the steel shafted ones. Still loving the game at age 71. It was fun watching.
kinda annoyed me tbh like thats a fat fucking divot, usually there are a few pockmarked about but here he made at least 8 right fuckin on top of each other so you can see it from a mile away
Personally I would prefer the 100 year old clubs because I could use that as an excuse for my poor play. Little do they know, I would be just as bad with modern clubs...
Me too! Not worried about my clubs - Golden Bear (ladies) 1990s perhaps? It's my swing...but I've only played 5 games so far...Looking forward to possible progress...or just a nice stroll on the course, LOL
Love this video. A buddy of mine that played on tour (born 1970) said in the early 90s that he had more "feel" with his old persimmons than the metal woods at the time. He felt he could shape it better. I'd love to see a vid with the most modern actual woods versus today's metal woods.
there needs to be so many more of these videos! antique club reviews, comparisons on GC quad, battles with rick, tour players trying to use them. this is a load of untapped potential!!
Grew up on a course built in the late 1800s here in the states and I found some Hickory-shafted clubs tucked away in a closet. That's what I learned on growing up. That was back in the early '60s. Greatest game ever invented. You hit the 100 yr. old clubs very well Peter.
Just goes to show how little clubs really have come on. 100yrs is an incredible amount of time for such little increments. I game Hogan Apex II's from '79 and I see no reason to blow a grand on new stuff tbh. Not sure I'd get on with 100yr old hickory's mind.... Great vid Pete.
Gleneagles is seriously one of the most beautiful places on earth. Fun challenge & pretty cool to see you do alright w/ those ancient clubs! Best of luck tomorrow in the TH-cam golf day!
I've never held a golf club in my life, but after TH-cam recommended a Rick Sheils video to me about 2 weeks ago, I've become addicted to watching yours and Ricks golfing videos, although I have little to no desire of ever actually playing the game. You should have a friendly play-off with Rick using those old hickory clubs and a couple of the 1920 balls that Rick has. (£50 each so you won't want to knock one of those into the pond.
The sound of the older wooden clubs is so much more satisfying. Nice solid contact sound and not that hollow tinny sound one gets from modern metal "woods".
I learned the game with a set of wooden shaft clubs. The wooden shafts loose a lot of distance with the longer clubs but the wooden shaft is more forgiving. The 9 iron used to be a chipping and short club until the 30’s when Gene Sarazen added lead to the base of his nine iron and created the first wedge. He made the club for the “Old Course” which he credited his new invention for the win. For young kids I highly recommend wooden shaft clubs and a standard wedge. Fore
@John Buick I'd love to watch Jay Leno golf also! Don't know if he plays...Probably show up in a 1919 car also, LOL (Not missing your point, but golf IS a game to enjoy.
Play on a shortish course (max 6000 yds) with hickory is the best that a golfer can experience. I enjoy exclusively hickory play since 9 seasons and I will most probably not return to modern golf clubs. The feel of a proper hit with an hickory club is so pleasing. I simply love it.
Steve McVay A couple of seasons ago, I finally bought myself a good set of clubs that were on the pricey side. The difference (to the better) in my game is night and day.
Steve McVay for real. I have a $100 set of Wilson’s. Only thing I’ve upgraded was the driver (Taylor Made Burner) and I hit low 90s-mid 80s. Not great but I don’t think the clubs are why I don’t hit 70s. It’s because I don’t play enough
Great video Pete, those hickory clubs are still something quite special to play with, the driver off the deck was such fun to watch, and it looked great to hit ☺
I play with a set of hickories made up of original and reproductions. A word of advice each club has its own tempo, and once you find that tempo they perform well. In fact the difference in my score between my modern clubs and the hickories is about 3 shots per round higher, but the satisfaction is measurably higher with the hickories. There is a great satisfaction when you pure a drive down the middle and stick the approach shot with the hickories, they will reward your skill. I do not like it when I hit a modern club poorly and still get a good result I feel the scientist achieved the shot not me. I feel technology is a bit out of control at the moment, that is why I dabble with hickories and clubs from the 1960's. In fact I play with the hickories during my single matches in men's league. Others should give hickories a shot, they are a lot of fun. Great video by the way, your swing has an awesome tempo.
I've always found these to be interesting. More interesting to me would be a comparison of clubs from say 5-10 years ago to see how much better newer clubs really are especially for mid to higher handicappers.
Excellent video! Maybe the start of an "equipment through the ages" type series? Let's get some persimmon and blades up in here and do some comparisons!!! (Carly is hilarious, btw).
I played a nine hole course with hickory clubs last week. It was cut to match 1920s standards and we used modern balls designed to perform like 20s ones. It was fun but really tough. Great video, I enjoyed the view of Auchterarder golf course in the background, too.
amazing video once again Pete. I am curious to know if you have ever done this type of challenge with 1970's era clubs. again amazing video please keep them coming
Can't believe the performance of that niblik! Everything I expected (knifed divots, impossibly small sweet spot, grooveless stopping spin, accuracy issues from its wood shaft...) was all fine and even great! I love it when shitty old clubs perform excellently!
This video was so cool. carly's comment on your mid iron shot was classic and that shot with driver off the deck was Tigeresque! Very nice. Love to see you play a round with the 100 year old clubs and see how you would fair.
I group of my friends and myself played a Hickory tournament and with a replica golf balls. I was so fun and surprisingly easy to hit once you get used to the bow in the shaft! I almost kept the niblick in the bag for chipping around the green! And we liked the putters! Driver is a low runner!
"Is 7 gonna make it straighter" "Maybe you should aim 20 yards to the left" You need some ointment for those burns Pete ? LOL Loved the video, Carly should be in more vids, shes funny!
Brilliant stuff. Really enjoyable watch. Cracking shot off the deck with the driver. We played the Kings course last Saturday! I wonder if we just missed you.
Great test Peter. These tests routinely make me wonder the need for brand new clubs. Clubs in good condition from a decade ago, cannot be that different.
Fantastic video, great fun to watch.... well done Peter and Carly, I'd like to hear more commentary from carly on future videos ... she says it straight lol...
Hi Peter, I have and still use a Gradidge Greensite wedge. I think it’s from the 30s or 40s. It has a turtle shell coloured metal shaft. It badly needs a re-grip but the head shape is superb and the deep grooves help control spin. I think I’d have to go a long way to find anything as good these days.
That was a great vlog to be honest; I would love to play with those hickory clubs myself. My first set of clubs looked a bit similar but had metal shafts painted or lacquered to look like wood. I still have the putter to this day. Have to say that Carly was somewhat fierce with her comments; BRAVO says I! Cheers
That was a Brilliant shot off the deck... Very entertaining video... Good job 🍻 Carly is terrific and should be in some videos. She made a good video a great one with one comment.. 🤷♀️
Even from when I started as a junior in the early 70’s the change is huge,bladed irons and small wooden heads. Certainly made you learn how to strike a ball correctly!
The hickory driver is actually a "fairway wood" equivalent - called a brassie because of the brass baseplate which was meant to protect the club when in contact with the ground. That said I would recommend anyone to have a go with hickories
Great ball striking with those old clubs. I love playing hickory golf. I'd like to see the Open being played with all the modern pros playing hickory clubs. That would be a true open!
I really think it's your game that makes the difference. I gave my dad a 60year old eagle iron set which look darn similar to a Titleist set and he matches me or better to my 5 year old Taylormade set. But we have played with actual wood sets in a while since we shattered all of the ones we had growing up with
I learned to play with these. I went to residential school and it’s safe to say they don’t really update the clubs. When you can hit these straight pulling my mizuno jpx 800 pro irons and Callaway razr x black driver feels easy
Love this video, seeing old equipment sent thru the paces again is always fun to watch. Pete if you get the chance take a look at your swing speeds with the 2 drivers, you don't need actual numbers to see what I'm talking about. The larger more modern head must inspire a load more confidence in striking the face vs. the tiny 100 year old head. You can visibly see a much more aggressive faster move thru the ball... I am in no way saying the old head stood a chance, really I'm just saying that on top of the Tech advantage, the sheer size inspires a much more confident swing. Again great video :)
Drew Lee cheers drew, someone had broken one of the hickory drivers the day before so I reckon I wasn’t actually smashing as hard as I could just through fear of snapping it!!
Great vid Finchy! I LOVE this kind of old vs new stuff. Looks like except for the long clubs it's the old irons performed pretty well. As did what looked to be the old driver off the deck from 220yds. Goes to show...it ain't the arrow...it's the Indian.
these old clubs remind me of my very first set when I was a kid. they were a ratty old antique juniors set from a garage sale for $5. 1st swing at the driving range and the clubhead of the wood flew off and went about 80 yards, which was farther than the ball went lmao....and that was the day I knew golf was not for me.
Another factor would be the course maintenance, as someone who works on a course doing the groundskeeping our modern equipment help keep everything perfect. I could only imagine how different a course would have been 100 years ago.
Let's face it with your smooth swing you can play anything, smart of you to bring Carly on the video good banter, good luck tomorrow, remember those good swings for the tournament. Still channeling your inner Freddy?
I only get out to the course about 10 times a year and have a an odd assortment of clubs. I have a wooden 4 wood from maybe the 60's that I like to use sometimes. I always hit it straight and far with a nice easy swing.
“Is 7 going to make it straighter?” Lol. Carly is savage.
friendly fire!
jjh214 yeah she’s pretty brutal!
I caught that too I’m laying in bed and started laughing my butt off! Honestly we need some more commentary from her she’s awesome!
Amazing! Two stunning shots with the hickory driver off the deck. To lip out from 220 with a 100 year old wood is just amazing. Serious talent
I made an eagle on a par 4 with my hickories....
That shot off the deck was about one of the greatest shots I've ever watched. Especially when you're talking it to the hole, man just greatness. Be well you two.
"Why didn't you aim 20yds left?" was CLASSIC.
I started golf in about 1960. A friends righty clubs, but I am a lefty. Still play right handed, except for always have putted lefty. Got pretty good hitting those clubs.

That off the deck shot was amazing
Should of? What language is that?
Mil Sneler Have a day off, mate🙄
P Koto 😎💪⛳️
Such a beautiful flight. Makes me want to buy some persimmon woods and play them or at least try to.
@@Mr.mallaer I'm not sure either, since the correct word(s) is "should've" which is short for "should have". "Should of" means absolutely nothing.
Those divots you made with the wedges at the start were very satisfying
Right very proper
kinda annoyed me tbh like thats a fat fucking divot, usually there are a few pockmarked about but here he made at least 8 right fuckin on top of each other so you can see it from a mile away
@@mitchellalexander8508 right!! like he just put quite the blemish in an otherwise beautiful fairway.
I work at the u of i golf course in Savoy Illinois seein him make those divets irritated the hell out of me
Personally I would prefer the 100 year old clubs because I could use that as an excuse for my poor play. Little do they know, I would be just as bad with modern clubs...

Jay Pique yeah would be interesting!
Do a FSX skill challenge using these vintage clubs please
Lars Menken I’ll have to track myself some more down for the academy!
there needs to be so many more of these videos! antique club reviews, comparisons on GC quad, battles with rick, tour players trying to use them. this is a load of untapped potential!!
Sholtzi 👍
Mr. Finch I was surprised by the performance of the older clubs! That was as good a shot Ive seen you hit with any club! Cheers Mr. Finch!
The Guy Show ironic eh?!? 😂
Grew up on a course built in the late 1800s here in the states and I found some Hickory-shafted clubs tucked away in a closet. That's what I learned on growing up. That was back in the early '60s. Greatest game ever invented. You hit the 100 yr. old clubs very well Peter.
Pete, love the passion you have with all you do, good luck for tomorrow
Mike Dowling 👍
Love this video, in concept and execution! The most interesting thing is the sound of solid contact with the older clubs is so distinct.
Can you and Rick do a course vlog with hickory clubs soon?
yes!!!!!
Please!!
Like this everyone so he sees it
Give the people what they want, Peter
This would be amazing match play with these clubs!
Just goes to show how little clubs really have come on. 100yrs is an incredible amount of time for such little increments.
I game Hogan Apex II's from '79 and I see no reason to blow a grand on new stuff tbh. Not sure I'd get on with 100yr old hickory's mind....
Great vid Pete.
That was terrific Pete, many many thaNKS. THROUGHLY ENJOYABLE and I can't believe how well the old clubs held up...
We all just almost witnessed an 220 hole out from the deck...
In sound quality the old clubs win by a mile
PapaWheelie really strange sound I thought
It’s like wooden vs aluminum bats in baseball
My dream is for the one or both PGA and EPGA would hold a single tournament with 1950-70's clubs (wood fairways).
Matt Aamold how amazing would that be?!
@@peterfinchgolf - Would also need to use balls of that era as well
Greg Smith
And a course designed for those clubs since nearly every course is too long now
Hands down the best shot on TH-cam, 220 hickory lip-out!!!
Also should I send back my new Hi-toes and get me some of those niblicks? 🤣🤣
Ed Taylor now my recommendation to everyone!!
Hope they are Taylormade!
Love it, takes me back. My dad cut an old hickory 7 iron down so I could play when I was about 5. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.
Andy Turner 😀
it doesn't matter what club I grab it's going right and around 20 yards . I've came to terms with it.
PoP ITgood put ur right foot back a little more
Hey, you and me need a tournament. It will be the closest thing yet.
OMG! That last shot off the deck had me jumping off the couch in excitement. Great video Pete!
CoasterHero it was an intense moment for sure
Gleneagles is seriously one of the most beautiful places on earth. Fun challenge & pretty cool to see you do alright w/ those ancient clubs! Best of luck tomorrow in the TH-cam golf day!

Absolutely!

Dude. Nice freaking shot off the deck!
Clubs don’t make you good. People put waaaaaaay to much money into clubs and not enough time into practicing.
my roommate thinks he's a better golfer than I am because his clubs are $200 more than mine. He hasn't golfed in 3 years lol
people spend that much to make it so they dont have to practice as much
Not when you have a swing like his. But when you have one like mine? Yeah, they do.

James B thanks a lot James
YES. I've been waiting for this. Hickory golf needs more recognition.
Luke139 definitely!
Oh man that one that almost went in was amazing! Your camera woman was only mildly impressed though.

Norman Russell you must have just missed us, we got there on Tuesday 👍
What a shot that was! Getting some 100 year old clubs me 🔥🔥
Great test Peter. These tests routinely make me wonder the need for brand new clubs. Clubs in good condition from a decade ago, cannot be that different.
9 hole challenge. Only 100 year old clubs!
Fantastic ball striking. If I lived in the UK. I would hire you as my swing coach.
Pickle MeTimbers aww cheers bud 😊
Fantastic video, great fun to watch.... well done Peter and Carly, I'd like to hear more commentary from carly on future videos ... she says it straight lol...
Hi Peter, I have and still use a Gradidge Greensite wedge. I think it’s from the 30s or 40s. It has a turtle shell coloured metal shaft. It badly needs a re-grip but the head shape is superb and the deep grooves help control spin. I think I’d have to go a long way to find anything as good these days.
I just about jumped out of my seat with you lipped out that fairway shot!
Michael Paz I nearly had a heart attack!
Great Vid Pete! Definitely a different "Technique" required for the Ole' Hickory Clubs!!!
Alan Dye the ‘hope for the best’ technique
That was a great vlog to be honest; I would love to play with those hickory clubs myself. My first set of clubs looked a bit similar but had metal shafts painted or lacquered to look like wood. I still have the putter to this day.
Have to say that Carly was somewhat fierce with her comments; BRAVO says I!

Malcolm A. Maybe why I try to keep her clear from the videos, she stamps all over my game!
That was a Brilliant shot off the deck... Very entertaining video... Good job 🍻
Carly is terrific and should be in some videos. She made a good video a great one with one comment.. 🤷♀️
Chrissy Sprouse FACTS!!!!! Shoulda aimed 20yds left...she had a couple zingers actually
Haha true story
those 2 drives off the deck was incredible!!!!!!!!!!!! thought that was going in!!!!
That was really interesting and fun, thank you for this one 👏👏
Tommie Thatcher no probs Tommie!
Even from when I started as a junior in the early 70’s the change is huge,bladed irons and small wooden heads. Certainly made you learn how to strike a ball correctly!
My heart rate went up a little as that off the deck shot was tracking. Well done!
dudefood ha you and me both!!
The hickory driver is actually a "fairway wood" equivalent - called a brassie because of the brass baseplate which was meant to protect the club when in contact with the ground. That said I would recommend anyone to have a go with hickories
Martin Wright yeah I’ve got a whole list of the modern day equivalents

Proper fun video. Must book a trip to Gleneagles. Gorgeous.
Chris H it’s a definite must visit
I really think it's your game that makes the difference. I gave my dad a 60year old eagle iron set which look darn similar to a Titleist set and he matches me or better to my 5 year old Taylormade set. But we have played with actual wood sets in a while since we shattered all of the ones we had growing up with
Where did you get those gorgeous clubs
I learned to play with these. I went to residential school and it’s safe to say they don’t really update the clubs. When you can hit these straight pulling my mizuno jpx 800 pro irons and Callaway razr x black driver feels easy
100 year old clubs...in the bag!!!
More Carly is required 👍🏼
Thank you for making me smile today Pete I appreciate you and thank you Carly for filming 😁❤️❤️
Nathaniel Wheeler good to hear :)
Can appreciate how much skill the guys like Ben Hogan had usong those hickory clubs
13:20 -Nice shot with the hickory wood! Convinced that it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing!
Love this video, seeing old equipment sent thru the paces again is always fun to watch. Pete if you get the chance take a look at your swing speeds with the 2 drivers, you don't need actual numbers to see what I'm talking about.

That fact that scores haven’t gone down dramatically over the past 50 years just proves that clubs don’t matter as much as people think.
Not really, the courses are tougher, longer. Pin position, fast greens, obstacles...
Way to underanalyze one variable.....
Should have had 100 year old golfer with a modern day club 😅
You make it look easy Peter ! Great swing .
Mike L60 thanks :)
Probably one of the best videos you've done. Great watch and how did it not go in?!
Simon Gillespie thanks a lot Simon, really glad you enjoyed it
Great vid Finchy! I LOVE this kind of old vs new stuff. Looks like except for the long clubs it's the old irons performed pretty well. As did what looked to be the old driver off the deck from 220yds. Goes to show...it ain't the arrow...it's the Indian.
13:02 just when I thought you couldn't do any better you almost hole it. What a shot.
these old clubs remind me of my very first set when I was a kid. they were a ratty old antique juniors set from a garage sale for $5. 1st swing at the driving range and the clubhead of the wood flew off and went about 80 yards, which was farther than the ball went lmao....and that was the day I knew golf was not for me.

Another factor would be the course maintenance, as someone who works on a course doing the groundskeeping our modern equipment help keep everything perfect. I could only imagine how different a course would have been 100 years ago.
Congrats, you and Rick are makeing awesome videos, very interesting!!

That would have been epic if it had gone in. Truly a shot to remember.
I only get out to the course about 10 times a year and have a an odd assortment of clubs. I have a wooden 4 wood from maybe the 60's that I like to use sometimes. I always hit it straight and far with a nice easy swing.
Best fist pump celebration ever!! 🙌🏻😂🤣15:32

Fun stuff, good luck tomorrow Pete. 🏌
Peter I have no idea how that long fairway shot didn’t drop. Great shot!
Great shot off the deck...I REALLY wanted it to go in..
Paul Beeson ha me too!
