19th-Century Gutty Golf Match Play: Chmielewski vs. Williams - Hickory Golf Silent Films #1 

Agreed! And it was at a clutch moment, too. Funny thing is on the actual footage with audio, I’m giving Nick some caddie advice on where to land the chip and he followed it perfectly. I immediately regretted it.😂

😂 I’m familiar with Jamie. Glad you enjoyed the film - thanks for watching!

Thanks, Scott! Glad you enjoyed it. Probably the most fun I’ve had editing a course vlog.

Thanks, Brad! Hoping you and I will have an opportunity to film one together later this summer.

Glad you enjoyed it! I think this will be the first of many close matches between me and Nick.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

😂 yeah, when I saw how it looked in b/w, I knew it was a good idea.

Thanks, Mark!

Glad you liked it! Had almost as much fun editing this one as I did playing.

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. We were pleasantly surprised to find such a fun gem of a course for gutty golf so near to the course we play our featherie golf event each year (Hillcrest Golf Center in Washington, IL)

Thanks, Brennan! Had a blast putting this one together and I’m looking forward to doing more like it.

Thanks, Greg! And yeah - you would have made a good fourth. Next time!

Thanks, Bill - will do! I really enjoyed making this one and will definitely be making more. And Nick definitely wants a rematch so we’ll make that happen.

@@TheHickoryHacker Fantastic! You'll both soon be silent golf movie stars.

Thanks, Ben! Yeah, the synthetic gutta balls we’re using don’t roll as well as a modern ball. My ball especially is a slower roller because it’s hand-rolled and hand-hammered. That all said, these greens were a little shaggy. On a faster surface, you wouldn’t be able to notice it as much.

Thanks, Bobby! And we’d love for you to join us!

Wonderful Cecil B. DeMille production quality with a suspenseful climax more exciting than the heart-pounding moment when the damsel in distress is untied from the train tracks just seconds before the train arrives.

Thanks, Durel! This one was a lot of fun to make. Would love to film one with you sometime, too.

@@TheHickoryHacker Would absolutely love to, pal!

@@sadie6339 😂 We’re still asking ourselves that to this day! That was the yardage according to the scorecard, but they were doing some work on the course when we played and I’m thinking we had an old card that didn’t reflect that hole changing from a par 4 to a 5. Definitely felt long to us.

Yeah, I’ve been sitting on that footage for too long. I’ll try to get it up on the channel soon!
