A scratch lounger beats a pro with 100 year old clubs

but a scratch lounger loses to a pro with 50 year old clubs. Golf equipment has not changed much in 50 years, especially for pros who always make good contact. They are basically playing 50 year old technology anyway.

You sure you mean 50 year old clubs, and not 30? -- Tafkam Hokie 06/25/2019 11:48AM

IMO you are overestimating the value of a forgiving driver -- typed by ben 06/25/2019 12:19PM

The modern ball has a bigger impact than even modern clubs. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 06/25/2019 10:30AM

No question. ** -- Brown Water 06/25/2019 11:08AM

Along similar lines, Babe Ruth had a shirty baseball swing. No way he could -- BG Hokie 06/25/2019 10:08AM

He also would've been in better shape and hitting in smaller parks. Ruth -- RhinoVT 06/25/2019 10:39AM

Yeah, he had a big swing, but no reason to think he wouldn't be -- reestuart 06/25/2019 10:49AM

What rules would you use... -- The_VT_Rock 06/25/2019 09:56AM

They are quite old now -- Newt 06/25/2019 09:50AM

Well, a good possibility -- VaTechie 06/25/2019 09:29AM

How good is the best Lounge golfer? -- Tafkam Hokie 06/25/2019 09:13AM

If we can trust what people post (haha) then we have some good golfers in -- CPRVHokie 06/25/2019 09:56AM

How much beer is involved? ** -- EDGEMAN 06/25/2019 09:04AM

To make it fair, we should only allow for beer from back then ** -- HokieAl 06/25/2019 09:09AM

I love Schlitz! ** -- Stork 06/25/2019 09:43AM

Schlitz Malt Liquor was the rage in the 70's when it first came out :) -- grill to chill 06/25/2019 10:44AM

Like they say... -- EDGEMAN 06/25/2019 09:45AM

Yes. This sounds like a great YouTube video though. Find some courses -- hoosnowahokie 06/25/2019 09:00AM
