So for anyone who doesn't know Jacob, he is part of the team here at Finch Golf Media. What a good sport he is for putting himself out there! Thanks for watching and for Gleneagles for having us down
Great vlog as always Peter. Managed to break 100 today for the 1st time since lockdown. Thanks to you and Swing Quest
Always great to see the team play with you Pete!
Id just like to congratulate Jacob for coming out and putting it out there.
Peter, I have a great video idea that I think would be a big hit with your subscribers. Please have a team member reach out to me! Thank you and great video!
That last putt was cruel……. In my next match play match I will that!!!! god I hope I do not miss it bahaaaaa😂😂
From 29:40 and on, Pete you absolutely destroy!? Love all of it. Can't think of a recent video that you've genuinely look like your having the best of times. (Quality golf shots with 100 year old clubs help) regardless, fun to watch. Cheers.
That last putt was deflating for we pretenders. 😂 Seriously, well done and it was gutsy for Jacob to give it a go.
You should put modern heads on Hickory shafts, and modern shafts in hickory heads and test them against each other to see which one is harder to use. Good video idea I reckon!
The Wood shafts looked quite thin. Maybe that they are steel with a Pyratone coating. Pyratone was used to try and make steel shafts look like wood to try and ease the transition for players who couldn't quite overcome the change in look.
Looks like some are hickory. The woods have coated steel (pyratone) shafts.
@@JeffLeff Yep, irons are definitely hickory, later videos have hickory woods
Great video guys some great golf and banter too.
My dad (grandfather) used to have a 2 wood that looked like one of those woods. It had the cross-hatch grooves and was over 100 years old (120 now). He loved playing with it, had it refinished with a modern grip.
I need to emulate Pete's smooth operator swing! I don't know many pros that swing this smooth.
that last put though..... ⛳⛳⛳
The shots on hole 16 were different class....👌 great watch and well played...👍👏⛳👊
Love this kind of stuff!
That last putt had me laughing out loud. So nonchalant like you do it every day, keep that putter in your bag. Thanks to both of you that was fun to watch.
Love seeing golf being fun. Often online people are much too serious in an attempt to “show there skills” when in fact seeing people trying new things and just enjoying the game is much more important! Fantastic video guys and look forward to seeing more hickory clubs..
What a brutal outro 😂, some shots on that par 4 as well!. Love to see it
That's some pure ball striking with those clubs. Impressive, Mr. Finch.
That drive to get on the green was something else Peter!
Those shots on the short par 4 were amazing! Your " natural athletic ability did shine bright like the Scottish sun".
You need to come play the Old course at Lossiemouth
great video Peter, always good to see you play with your team. proves that golf is all about skill not the clubs we use. 👏👏👍👍
Brill, Pete. Come to Cairns, mate. Check out Cairns GC
the end was absolute jokes!🤣
In process of watching but did you upload this a few days ago, as I'm sure it came up on my feed but went to find it and was gone XD
Yey! New video! Liking it even before I watch the whole thing!! hahaha. By the way, what a beautiful course!!
Fire! Putter magic.
How did Bobby Jones score in the 60s on occasion with hickory shafted clubs on championship courses? He must have been extraordinary.
That must be the best mic drop ending to any golf match in the history of youtube
Great video! But I can safely say I hate the idea of a pencil bag 😂
Stick with the Hickory Pete, It's the best I've seen you play lol.
I’d love to see you and Rick S. Do a round with both only using those 100 year old clubs. Let’s see who can pull off the win 🥇
Mr Finch some top quality ball striking with those clubs well done Jacob but think the pressure of being infront of camera got to you a little bit also playing on your own need another match where you all play 🏌♂️⛳💪😏
Your best videos have been the ones with Jacob involved - good to see someone who isn’t single figure play.
Fun video Peter 👌
The Wilson woods are actually early steel shafts, most likely from the 1930s. (Putting a magnet on the shaft is the sure way to tell)
The iron with a "club" stamped on it, it's actually a pipe which was the cleek mark of Tom Stewart, one of the best and most prolific iron head makers.
Should've put a Ping 7 wood in that bag
I know I’m gonna like this video whatever happens
Edit: What an ending 😂 played incredible with those
My takeaway from this is that I don’t need to change my driver this year. It can last another 50 years.
man i need to see the 8k video come on people smash that like button!
I agree
That was absolutely baller at the end.
Pete, you should have used an old ball too.
Always welcome in ballybunion pete if ur up for a round
I'm thinking you may need to put that putter in your actual bag. oh and nice walk in 😎
Hit the ball today
Didn't see even first hole but i think Peter should win this, but lets watch and see
Hahaha Peter finch just became the coolest man ever to play golf. That was brilliant 😎
That 3 wood is going straight into Pete's bag.
Smuggled it home!
This shows how much modern gear helps us but, at the end of the day, the biggest influence is still the skill of the person attached to the other end. You’re channel content is top notch and always engaging. Great job!
Note to self: never look at the comments before watching a competitive video 🤦♂
@@1993j 🎉
I've got my mums 1920's hickory clubs, and a bag almost identical to the one you had Peter which she used as one of the first golfers ever to live and play in Fiji. She was a single figure handicaper too. My mum and her golfing colonial mates built the first golf course in Labasa, Fiji. I inherited her good swing n😊
Ok guys, that was truly one of the most entertaining golf videos I've seen in a long time. You had way too much fun Pete, I was laughing the whole time. Thanks for some great content.
That shot from Jacob! WOW!!! 😁⛳🔥
Well I don't play hickory's but I do play mostly persimmons and old blades and love to play golf even more just for the creativity involved with technology from back in the day. The sound off a persimmon driver is intoxicating. Thank Mr. Finch.
The woods were steel shafted, post WW2. What would be fun to see someone like Andrew Marshall (Marshy) doing this with proper hickories. Scary good with anything old skool.
I think you should go play Lossiemouth. Moray course is lovely. Great video
12 mins in and u mention Lossiemouth. This is my home town and has 2 great courses if ur ever up this way. Moray old course has a great 18th!
Another great video, it’s real golf to watch. I just love the fact you used hickory clubs, just goes to prove its not just the equipment but the person’s ability who’s using them. More of the same please just so interesting and entertaining.
Thank you Chris and Pat!
Does anyone feel Pete should have worn plus fours and a flat cap?😂
Love all the content with Jacob and Kieran, would love to see more!
The absolute eggs on Mr. Finch to walk that last putt in. 👏👏
Absolutely love the camaraderie you guys have with one another. Another class video, keep 'em coming! Thanks for the content!
Wow. How good did you play with those clubs. Fair play to Jacob for being filmed. He hit some decent shots as well.
Jacob
So...Jacob is a "normal" golfer....Does that mean you are an "abnormal" Golfer Mr F 😉...Great fun video !
Peter...Peter...Peter...that first long Iron you hit was a Tom Stewart iron...and that was a pipe cleek mark, not a golf club!!!
You were born in the wrong era
Peter how tge hell you played the way you did wth them clubs transport back yo 100 years you probably could have been an old pro against Bobby jones 252 yards plops a 3 wood on the green with a pre ww2 hickory shafted pros 20s 3 wood cone on man that was class and pace of greens with that hickory putter I have one myself and used it before on my channel but in a 10 handicapper that was bloody amazing shame you and Carter couldn't play as well as Prestwick. What this tells me and same with me when I used the old 50s irons and woods I own it doesn't matter what equiptmemt you use if you can strike the ball well you can use any equipment and still play decent golf. I re omens anyone tries this using old clubs maybe not that old maybe lie me 50s 60s go back to the modern equiptmemt and just appreciate first how lucky we are to have equiptmemt we have and secon how good the likes of Jones Hagen Varden were must have been absolute immense players can't see many players do what Pete did there eith old clubs
People waste their money on the newest clubs. I shot 7 under(65) a couple days ago, with my 1997 Ping ISI irons, and a 2008 Callaway driver. It isn’t the clubs, people. But I do understand that buying new clubs is sort of a hobby for people also. Just don’t expect miracles. lol
You may have been referring to the chip over Sam Snead's ball on the green by Paul Runyan. You adapted well and made the best of them. It's amazing how well those chaps played with those clubs; like 60s and 70s players with blades.
Peter, I have a great video idea that I think would be a big hit with your subscribers. Please have a team member reach out to me! Thank you and great video!
I've not been super thrilled with the new taylormade stealth drivers, but the Stealth hybrids feel unbelievably good off the face and they seem quite accurate
For many years I played with wrapped leather grips. The key is that you have to oil them regularly. Grip oil softens and protects the leather, and also keeps them from getting slippery. Regularly oiled leather grips will last a very, very long time. Mine were over 50 years old, and in perfect shape, when the clubs were stolen, about 20 years ago.
You've clearly gotten used to the hickory shafts over the course of using them, and are showing that good golf can indeed be played with them. To broaden your club choices, though, you need to add a niblick to your set.... It's a handy club with an even better name.
If you ever come to Georgia USA to play I would enjoy joining team Finch. I should probably stop making comments if I want that to happen I guess, ignore all my other comments.
I think the woods you have are pyratone shafts, steel shafts with vinyl cover that looks like wood. A softer ball like a Wilson duo works better than a hard ProV. Glad to see more people giving the old clubs a try, gives you a better since of history and how difficult golf used to be.
Can you beat Rick shields both using hickory clubs....now there's a video 👍
27:08-
What you’re supposed to think: Pete is getting great footage from the weeds.
Reality- the laxative Pete took earlier that morning has just kicked in.
Hickory woods? And I thought I was a dinosaur using 40 year old persimmon woods 😂😂
Pete is playing with clubs that defined the concept of "fitting". Hand forged irons, hand carved persimmon woods (no face inserts!) means that you have to hit the thing during fabrication to make sure that the loft is where you want it and the lie is good. Lots of bending and maybe some extra engraving of the club face to get the spin right.
Try out Kingarrock golf club just west of St andrews.
Worlds only hickory course
Fantastic! Really enjoyed this video. Well done for playing with ancient clubs and winning. My dad had hickory clubs and unfortunately, I managed to destroy them.... Played the Kings Course and loved it. Paul, Scot.
I am a new subscriber as I am just returning too play golf from a 15 year lay off, I really enjoyed watching this
Pete, if you've never been to Lossiemouth it is worth a visit to play Moray Old which has one of the greatest closing holes I've ever played.
Pete I’ve often wondered do you not like sunglasses? Some folks play with them some do not. What is your preference or opinion on sunglasses on the golf course?
Natural Athleticism...kind of a stretch, Im thinking.
Happy Gilmores grandfathers clubs 😂
Lol….simply brilliant,great shooting Pete👍👍👍
Borefest.
LOL, that is a pipe not a golf club and maker is Tom Stewart... lol
This was one of the "funnest" videos you have ever made Peter.....WELL DONE!
Jacob should give up a weeks holiday for the loss 👍⛳️👍
fun fact - the house in the background at 24:36 is being given away by Omaze :D
Simplify your golf and you'll win comps, Pete!
This just goes to show how good those old pro’s really where.🤷🏼♂️🏌🏼♂️⛳️👍
Amateur and hits his 7 iron 155? Even with a slow swing speed it should go further
Clearly you are a hickory player pete🤣
Throw the new stuff away and use hickary stuff
@14:50 Kieran giving Lee Trevino vibes from his cameo in Happy Gilmore 😂
Not the right line, not the right length.....coincidentally those are the only two things wrong with my puts.🤣
Shouldve made Pete use NO RANGEFINDER too
That walk off putt on the last was a thing of beauty
Tis not the wand, but the wizard that creates the magic 😎 great match Pete! Love this kind of content. Looks like you had a blast making it too 👌
You should have used period golf balls, or as close to as possible. A lot of tech in the golf balls as well. Great content!
I paid for the whole club face, so I'm gonna use the whole club face!
You were mean to only give him 3 shots Pete .. should have been at least 6 to make a game of if ! Great fun though.
Really fun stuff guys. I think when you where filming in the bushes you were taking a piss
