Can an AMATEUR beat a PRO GOLFER with 100-year-old clubs?

Peter Finch challenges his Head of Content and average golfer, Jacob Broadbridge, around the Queens course at Gleneagles, in an epic match using 100+ YEAR OLD HICKORY CLUBS against a set of the best tech golf clubs you can buy!

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

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!

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.

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.

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😊

Love all the content with Jacob and Kieran, would love to see more!

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.

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.

Am I the only one who thinks Peter Finch is producing some of the best golfing content on YT in 2022/23?

Keep it up!

[paulhess]

Absolutely love the camaraderie you guys have with one another. Another class video, keep 'em coming! Thanks for the content!

[paulmills]

Wow. How good did you play with those clubs. Fair play to Jacob for being filmed. He hit some decent shots as well.

[martinwallingford]

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.

[fithstudios]

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!

[projectrebuild]

I think you should go play Lossiemouth. Moray course is lovely. Great video

[martyndines]

Great video to watch, I always say “it’s not the lump on the bottom that matters, it’s the lump holding the top of the shaft”. Some great play with those old hickory clubs.

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 👌

[ethanconte]

That was a great shot by Peter from the bushes. I'm glad it made the edit as well

[TheClassicChris]

The absolute eggs on Mr. Finch to walk that last putt in. 👏👏

[boydgrandy]

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.

[I-am-stevo]

That walk off putt on the last was a thing of beauty
