What's this?

Walter Hagen shot +17 in the 1919 US Open and shot 77 to win in a playoff..

The course was a par 71 at 6,435 yards.

I think I could take him...

A scratch lounger beats a pro with 100 year old clubs -- typed by ben 06/25/2019 11:36AM

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

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
