Can we win the FIRST EVER OPEN using HICKORY clubs?! 

Please don't judge my 1st couple of holes lol! it took a while to adapt !!!

That was wonderful, thank you Pete and Andy, and everyone at Prestwick that made this happen.

As others have said, these clubs are considered "modern hickory" and were in play from 1900-1935. Most of the clubs I saw are at least 60 newer than 1860. I'd love to see a video like this where you guys talk about the clubs and club makers in way that isn't just about how hard they are to play. You should collab with @thehickoryhacker and he can show you what 1860s featherie golf was all about.

Perhaps the best collaboration video of the year. After the initial tee shots I thought it was going to be a disaster, so glad I watched it to the end. Definitely worth watching. Big thanks to Prestwick Golf Club for making this possible.

Great to see carter back. Two mates back together playing great fun golf 👍🏻👏🏻

Cool vid! I'm pretty sure the ball they would have been using would fly quite a bit shorter than a modem ball.

This was so fun! You just keep improving content! The banter between Andy, the club pro/caddy, and yourself was so fun. Such a fun and classy video. Well done!

Love watching you two guys playing together the banter never stops plus there's some good golf thrown in as well

Thank you Andy and Pete for doing this! Dressed to the nines and with the hickory clubs was something special. I knew the video was gonna be good straight off the 1st tee! Loved every minute!

Brilliant stuff both yourself & Andy very entertaining & the club Pro deserves special mention 👍

this is the best vlog i've seen in a while! just wonderful boys. My first set of clubs in 1959 was a set of hickory sticks my dad bought at the clubhouse for $5 ,,,, BRINGS BACK MANY GREAT MEMORIES...

Possibly the most fun to watch, I cheered, I laughed, I cried. Great video Pete and great to see Andrew back. So we'll done, cheers to both of you. Looked like smashing fun. Didn't want it to end,....like a great movie that your sad when it's over.....but you watch it again. 🥂

Brilliant, absolutely loved it. The banter between Pete and Andy was fantastic. More please ⛳

29:40 love the fistpump from david

That was pure class, and entertainment. Pete and Andy, thanks for a blast back to the past. Always love the content you come up with Pete. Shout out to the club pro, great edition to this great video. Keep up the great work!

That was just brilliant. I enjoyed that so much. Probably one of my favorite you tube videos ever. And how good was young Tom. Thanks for that it made my day.

Brilliant, guys. Great video. Highly entertaining and oddly informative about history too!

And the bunkers look like craters on the surface of the moon. Great video and fun to watch. Thank you Peter, Andy and Course staff.

That was so damn enjoyable to watch. Thank you guys and also all those at Prestwick for making this happen. So good.

This was a Classic!!!! Loved every bit of it....some awesome putts made...and I could see improvement in hitting the hickory sticks along the way....looking great in those suits also!!

A joy to watch, thank you both 👍edited to add: And thank you to the lovely staff!

That was just a lovely video. Thanks Andy & Pete - That was pure class!!

Great vid! I’m glad you were brave enough to tackle the course with the hickory sticks! I enjoyed that immensely. Thank you.

😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant well done guys great entertainment and one hell of an achievement !!!

Such a great video! Great content from both of you guys, and well done by Pete's crew.

So great, enjoyed every minute. What a feeling that would have been. 👏👏👏

That was so enjoyable thank you and the Prestwick, I wish I had that opportunity, caddie and fore caddies !

Some great golf, but most importantly, that looked like a right laugh!!

I very much enjoy watching you play hickory clubs. I'd also like to see you play pyratone shafted clubs and those from the 50s and 60s. Keep 'em comin'. Thanks.

One of the best videos I've seen you and Andy do. Well done guys.

I love it!! I love all about it! Love the comradery of the community too!! How awesome!

Terrific Video! Great spending time with you both. Pete- The1st tee has now been re- turfed!!!! Best Wishes David Fleming

There wasn't a slope there, there was a slooop! 😂 great video, great threads and great banter 👌

Absolutely hilarious that last putt! Well done guys, cracking to learn about the history of our great game!

Lads, Honestly this is my favourite thing I've ever see on youtube 🤣 top class golf and banter this had everything 👏👏👏

Never played golf in my life, but I gotta say, hickory golf seems to just be the superior way to play, it just looks class! Well played boys!

Amazing. One of my favorite videos so far. Well done and keep up the fantastic content

Best one so far! Loved the banter, and the outfits. What a club to facilitate that match 👏

Superb. Smiled the whole way through!

Awesome Video guys, Love seeing Hickory clubs being played, Such respect to the legends of the game, definitely do more Hickory or 1930_1980s persimmon and forged blades clubs

That was a lot of fun to watch. So good. You guys looked great to. Pete those shoes are glorious. Thanks guys

Great video. A lot went into this, and despite the cool weather it looks like you lads had a great time!

Absolutely loved it, thanks folks. I played Old Prestwick as a leaving gift from my team at ‘the Gannet’ and it was a privilege 👍

Back when I was child, my parents had a closet full of wondrous things, including some very old hickory shafted golf clubs. I learned that a set could include a play club (driver), a brassie (3 wood?), a spoon (5 wood?), a baffie (7-wood?), a cleek (1-iron), a mashie (5 iron?), a mashie-niblick (7 iron?), a niblick (9 iron), a chipper or jigger (used for pitch and run shots) and a putting cleek. Sadly my parents disposed of them at some point, probably 50 years ago. If I still had them, I would definitely take them out and have a go with them. ;) As a child, I also learned that hickory shafts have a "whip" to them, and that you need to swing slowly, with a bit of pause at the top of the swing to achieve harmony with your club. Peter and Andy mastered that art extremely well, after a few errant shots. I enjoyed this video very much.

You have one of (if not) my favourite swings to watch out of any youtube golfer.. I love effortless looking swings!

Brilliant vlog - what a fantastic concept to come up with. Mind you, that divot on the 1st tee did make me wonder what was to follow. Cheers

Like a couple of excited schoolboys. What a fantastic experience and just a great video. Well played.

Absolutely loved this video. Well done to you both. Looked like you had a great time and I suspect the pressure on the last was intense

I absolutely loved everything about this from start to finish ❤️

Brilliant vid chaps, I was hanging onto every shot like I was watching the actual Open!

Pure class, gentlemen. The finest of golf videos. The three piece suit of golf videos in fact.

Absolutely awesome video. Was laughing more than I should while watching golf. Could really feel the tension towards the end too. Great stuff, keep it up.

Such a fun video. Was a joy to watch. That’s some childlike fun right there

Very much enjoyed this. I’m sure it was an amazing experience! 😊😊😊

Peter. Andy. This was incredible. The outfits, so close to Halloween, were the critical element. Brilliant stuff.

Just finished the video. Absolutely brilliant stuff.

Excellent video today !! Superb play from both of you, especially with hickory clubs.

One of the best videos ever on this channel. Really enjoyed it! Love the banter between you guys ;-)

IIt is my favorite golf course for history and authenticity. I had the pleasure to play Old Prestwick and it was a day to remember. I think every Golfer should play Old Prestwick to get a feeling of how Golf used to be. Will never forget it.

Fantastic video had me smiling the whole way through, just goes to show how talented those players were back in the day

An amazing vlog Pete and Andy… still laughing at the first shot. … and Andy’s comment about all the green keepers fixing the divot 😂. Thank you for the best vlog of the year! And please stop trying to make bunkers on the tee boxes 😂

I laughed, I cried and throughly enjoyed the effort. Great content Andy and Peter.

Superb video and very well played considering … well everything actually.

Quite possibly the best vlog I’ve ever seen!! Love all your content Pete! Cheers!

Great video, guys. Loved the celebration on #11.

Love this vlog. Proper ballers in the day. Great to see Carter back in the uk glad his little one is doing well.

Absolutely awesome chaps. Love this concept. Keep it up.

An absolutely stellar round gents. It is incredible how good the original players of the sport were. Great vid!

Absolutely LOVE the outfits! Especially Peter's shoes. I agree with Carter - I don't know how anyone played golf in a suit jacket. Maybe that's where the term "sports coat" came from!

Peter, really enjoyed this video. Best one yet and a real tribute to world famous golfing legends.

Absolutely Epic video lads!!! Thoroughly enjoyed that!!👌💪👍

What a video - I would say probably one of the best golf videos I have ever watched. Loved the outfits and the clubs - just great lads

that first Tee off was legendary Pete! :D

Never seen Peter look like he is enjoying a vlog this much!

How is this man still on 500k subscribers? This is by far the best golf channel coming out of the UK in my opinion!

What a great concept! This looks like so much fun. Awesome effort Finchie & Cart Dawg. Top notch content mates!👌👍

Such a fun video. You guys don’t take yourselves to seriously which is great. Enjoyed this much more than someone else who did the same challenge recently but seemed to hate it. 😉

Best video ever. Peter, your first and last shots were legends.

This was great - you and Carter are fantastic. Legit lol's had. Club pro was great as well.

Great video, I'll definitely be making use of the next speed ramp that I encounter 😂😂

Been away from RU-vid for awhile.. this is a great video Pete and carter. Great job guys loved the respect not breaking the course record 😂. Keep up the good work

Most enjoyable RU-vid Golf Video of the year for me that. Superb content.

All class video! The ghost of YTM put a stop to that last putt!

One of the best on the channel, was cracking up the entire time ❤️

Best video for ages. Very enjoyable. Thanks

Awesome idea for a video. GJ to Peter and the crew.

Badass video this. Such great banter too

Pure class Pete. You and Andy look money!!

The amount of fun you have on this channel makes my freaking day!

Awesome video! Pretty damn good playing in those conditions, suits and hickorys!

Love the video, seemed like it would have been a fantastic day out. Not gonna lie I'm a big fan of the vintage dress too.

You and Andy at your best, glad to have Carter back. We missed this banter. 😂

You and Calamity Carter did a great video!! Thanks again!

Fantastic achievement chaps. Hard to imagine how well you would play from the calamity on the first tee, but some beautiful golf later on! New history created by Young Peter Finch and Young Andy Carter. I love hitting persimmons, I really want to try hickory now.

That was a laugh, commendations for using the hickories and dressing up. Pleasure to see decent golfer back on the channel alongside Pete.

Brilliant video, loved every minute of that!

That looks like so much fun. Love it.

You were like little lads running away from your misdeeds on that first tee! Hahaha!

Pure class lads. Great video! Dream round

Great play, and LOVE the clothes!
