I caddied for Peter Butler at Carnoustie in 1992. I wasn’t immediately taken with the vintage Ping irons in his giant pro bag. But then into the teeth of a westerly gale, and without as much as a practice swing, he hit driver then 3-wood (both TaylorMade burners) into the middle of the first green; I was suitably impressed. I only learned years later he made the first hole-in-one at the Ryder Cup. Nice to see it at 15:00 in this video.

Outstanding legendary golf film with excellent screen production for its age. The off course bonhomie and gentle ribbing by those greats of golf was wonderful. Real heroes of my past. Could watch Trevino all day. Pity no footage of a Christy OConnor swing. Superb and many thanks for golfers like me of a certain age

It is amazing just how much pleasure it is to watch these old games - in 1973 I went to work for DIGITAL in Holland - In those days I never imagine that I would become addicted to the game of golf However when I returned to UK in 1977, I happen to live in a house with a number of Irish men and women and one of the men played golf every day One day ( and this is fatal) - I said to this Irish golfer - [ Why don't you get a job - instead of messing around every day playing golf - He smiled and replied - would you like to try - why not try And so the following week - I had my first ever game of golf at Wimbledon Common Golf Club - where I met Spen Attwood -making those wooden clubs and I must say that I was hooked The following year 1978, i purchased a house in Twickenham and discovered Twickenham, Strawbury Hill and Fullwell golf clubs - I also met Peter Buchan - at that time a trainee at Twickenham Golf Club - (a nine hole course) - Peter later went to Fullwewll - a club next door - Peter is the Golf Professional at Strawberry Hill and has been there for decades - I am very pleased to say that I am still in contact with peter - (circa 2023)

Yes I would have liked to see the Christy swing as well. In the days before cheap branding on their clothes. Who could hit the one iron today.,bring back persimmon. That would prove the swing technique. Could go on about this golden age!!!

Using a 1 iron was never compulsory. Always been a choice for players whether to use it or not.

Quite a poignant end with Bernard Hunt making his lonely way through the crowd seemingly unrecognised. I can't help but think how much better these old matches were than the current over-hyped nonsense that we witnessed this year with scruffy players in tears.

But they were all in tears, weren’t they? “Scruffy”? Well that’s your opinion, not fact. And if you think the ‘89 match wasn’t over-hyped, you’ve got a very short memory!!
