"Going 'old school' will give you a whole new appreciation for the greatest game we know."

Here's a nice Saturday morning read from John Kim at PGA.com who played hickories for the first tie as part of Ansley Golf Club's 100th anniversary celebration, with Stirling Hickory Golf providing the clubs.

And as a student of golf history, to play with those clubs was not only a great education in golf equipment and the advantages of today's technology - but it enhanced my appreciation of the skill and talent that the greats of yesterday possessed.  Nothing against Tiger, Rory or even Jack and Arnie - I don't see how they could put up the numbers that Bobby Jones and company could put up using the same set of equipment. 

 

At the end of the day, it was like any other golf outing. Food and drinks were enjoyed, stories were shared about putts that should have gone in and promises were made to get together again soon.  But every golfer walked away with a little more passion and love for the game. If you're looking for a different perspective and a great way to love golf even more - going "old school" will give you a whole new appreciation for the greatest game we know.
