1929 U.S. Open Highlights 

😂

It’s exactly the same don’t you think .

i definitly felt that too

but tbh i like how it is now

Well this was during prohibition 😂

Nobody drinks alcohol right in anybody’s face

@@vadimnimarov8796 I never said I didn't like it.. just more distracting. Golf needs barriers from the crowds like all other major sports.. Looks dangerous to have people worth $10 million next to random strangers who are under the influence of something...

😂😂

About 270y... the ambassador/ legend/ hands down greatest gift to the sport. One of the 5 people from history I would be honored to meet. I have been blessed with meeting 5 people who have lived in my lifetime that I very much have had that pleasure.

Well he drove off the tee most of the time to stay in fairway and out of bunkers but in one of his thirteen major wins, a par 5 605 yards long slightly uphill up to that point nobody had putt for an eagle and made it, Bobby hit driver-spoon to five feet and canned the putt for the eagle. Contemporary golfers of his era said he could hit over 300 but usually didn't, rough was long and thick bunkers were sand and dirt and some courses raked in furrows or didn't take at all. His 66 in a qualifier at a b open was one of the greatest rounds ever 6800 yards and some thought longer, he could've went lower had he made a few longer putts.

about the same, they would be good. jones would be elite, middle pros middle, etc. its all the same as it ever was. relative to equipment available, nothing has changed in terms of skill versus an amateur.

@@jaybee7890 I believe the difference in the equipment they used in the 1920's and what is being used now would be a huge factor. I heard Gary Player say that he could hit the ball as far when he was 70 as when he was 30 due to modern clubs and golf balls.

ahhh smart comment

And you had to chip over others balls if they were in the way.

@@brianmcg321 yes I forgot about the stymie rule.

same scores. Jones shot 72-69 in the 36 hole playoff at Winged Foot. Difference was course length - about 6600 yards instead of 7400. Jones hit it 250-260 off the tee. Skill level the same, as good as anyone today, better than most.

At a major, Bobby played a par 5 605 yards long slightly uphill, nobody had eagled it, he hit driver - spoon to five feet and made the eagle putt. It was decades before anyone equaled that. He drove to stay in the fairway because rough was long and bunkers were not raked or raked in furrows. Players of his day said he could hit it over 300.

Well nothing’s changed in just under 100 years😜

Good

Sarazen was probably the last one to go in 1999.

first time watching old film mate?
