Ever wonder how today’s pros would do playing with equipment from 100 years ago? Of course not, but here is the answer anyway.
I saw this on GolfDigest.com where Danny Willett, Lee Westwood, and Miguel Angel Jimenez played at two-hole “Hickory Challenge” prior to the European Masters. They played with hickory-shafted clubs and dressed the part too. I believe they were using modern golf balls, but I may be mistaken on that.
Here is a video of the event posted on the European Tour’s twitter feed.
Miguel, Westwood and Willett as 1930s golfers…

I think this only proves that Bobby Jones is the best player of all time.
