Pros Playing with Hickory Clubs

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.

Here is a protracer of their tee shots.

 

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