Can we win the FIRST EVER OPEN using HICKORY clubs?!
Спорт
We take on the first Open Champion venue, Prestwick, in its original 12-hole layout to see what we would have scored at the 1860 Open… and, to make things even fairer, we’re using hickory clubs!

I've used a putting cleek myself Andy and I can tell you as well you know they are not the most reliable putters in the world. I've also used woods and irons from the 50s but there steel shafted god knows what hickory is like. Were you using modern balls or replica balls from the 30s it's hardtop tell on camera. Great effort from you both.

Glad you enjoyed it
Perhaps the best collaboration video of the year. After the initial tee shots I thought it was going to be a disaster, so glad I watched it to the end. Definitely worth watching. Big thanks to Prestwick Golf Club for making this possible.
Great to see carter back. Two mates back together playing great fun golf 👍🏻👏🏻

This was so fun! You just keep improving content! The banter between Andy, the club pro/caddy, and yourself was so fun. Such a fun and classy video. Well done!
Love watching you two guys playing together the banter never stops plus there's some good golf thrown in as well
Thank you Andy and Pete for doing this! Dressed to the nines and with the hickory clubs was something special. I knew the video was gonna be good straight off the 1st tee! Loved every minute!
As others have said, these clubs are considered "modern hickory" and were in play from 1900-1935. Most of the clubs I saw are at least 60 newer than 1860. I'd love to see a video like this where you guys talk about the clubs and club makers in way that isn't just about how hard they are to play. You should collab with @thehickoryhacker and he can show you what 1860s featherie golf was all about.
this is the best vlog i've seen in a while! just wonderful boys. My first set of clubs in 1959 was a set of hickory sticks my dad bought at the clubhouse for $5 ,,,, BRINGS BACK MANY GREAT MEMORIES...
Brilliant stuff both yourself & Andy very entertaining & the club Pro deserves special mention 👍

Thanks Alastair
Cool vid! I'm pretty sure the ball they would have been using would fly quite a bit shorter than a modem ball.
One of the best videos I've seen you and Andy do. Well done guys.
Such a great video! Great content from both of you guys, and well done by Pete's crew.
An absolutely stellar round gents. It is incredible how good the original players of the sport were. Great vid!

right, greens and fairways nowhere near as well kept as they are now, and beating two very good golfers that scrambled as a single. It's wild to think about.
What a video - I would say probably one of the best golf videos I have ever watched. Loved the outfits and the clubs - just great lads

So great, enjoyed every minute. What a feeling that would have been. 👏👏👏
Pure class, gentlemen. The finest of golf videos. The three piece suit of golf videos in fact.
A joy to watch, thank you both 👍edited to add: And thank you to the lovely staff!
Brilliant, absolutely loved it. The banter between Pete and Andy was fantastic. More please ⛳
Amazing. One of my favorite videos so far. Well done and keep up the fantastic content
And the bunkers look like craters on the surface of the moon. Great video and fun to watch. Thank you Peter, Andy and Course staff.
Great video. A lot went into this, and despite the cool weather it looks like you lads had a great time!
Possibly the most fun to watch, I cheered, I laughed, I cried. Great video Pete and great to see Andrew back. So we'll done, cheers to both of you. Looked like smashing fun. Didn't want it to end,....like a great movie that your sad when it's over.....but you watch it again. 🥂

Such a fun video. Was a joy to watch. That’s some childlike fun right there
The amount of fun you have on this channel makes my freaking day!
I very much enjoy watching you play hickory clubs. I'd also like to see you play pyratone shafted clubs and those from the 50s and 60s. Keep 'em comin'. Thanks.
Quite possibly the best vlog I’ve ever seen!! Love all your content Pete! Cheers!
I love it!! I love all about it! Love the comradery of the community too!! How awesome!
One of the best on the channel, was cracking up the entire time ❤️
29:40 love the fistpump from david
This was a Classic!!!! Loved every bit of it....some awesome putts made...and I could see improvement in hitting the hickory sticks along the way....looking great in those suits also!!
Brilliant vid chaps, I was hanging onto every shot like I was watching the actual Open!
Absolutely Epic video lads!!! Thoroughly enjoyed that!!👌💪👍
That was a lot of fun to watch. So good. You guys looked great to. Pete those shoes are glorious. Thanks guys
Superb. Smiled the whole way through!
Great vid! I’m glad you were brave enough to tackle the course with the hickory sticks! I enjoyed that immensely. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this video. Well done to you both. Looked like you had a great time and I suspect the pressure on the last was intense
One of the best videos ever on this channel. Really enjoyed it! Love the banter between you guys ;-)
Like a couple of excited schoolboys. What a fantastic experience and just a great video. Well played.
Absolutely LOVE the outfits! Especially Peter's shoes. I agree with Carter - I don't know how anyone played golf in a suit jacket. Maybe that's where the term "sports coat" came from!
Very much enjoyed this. I’m sure it was an amazing experience! 😊😊😊
Brilliant video, loved every minute of that!
Awesome idea for a video. GJ to Peter and the crew.
Absolutely hilarious that last putt! Well done guys, cracking to learn about the history of our great game!
IIt is my favorite golf course for history and authenticity. I had the pleasure to play Old Prestwick and it was a day to remember. I think every Golfer should play Old Prestwick to get a feeling of how Golf used to be. Will never forget it.
Best one so far! Loved the banter, and the outfits. What a club to facilitate that match 👏
Absolutely awesome video. Was laughing more than I should while watching golf. Could really feel the tension towards the end too. Great stuff, keep it up.
Awesome Video guys, Love seeing Hickory clubs being played, Such respect to the legends of the game, definitely do more Hickory or 1930_1980s persimmon and forged blades clubs
Absolutely awesome chaps. Love this concept. Keep it up.
Never seen Peter look like he is enjoying a vlog this much!
This feels like real golf to me. Amazing how you both adapted! This was one of the best yet.

Mark, you are correct. This the real thing. Most courses were designed for these type of golf clubs. 👍
Best video for ages. Very enjoyable. Thanks
Great video, guys. Loved the celebration on #11.
Lads, Honestly this is my favourite thing I've ever see on youtube 🤣 top class golf and banter this had everything 👏👏👏
You have one of (if not) my favourite swings to watch out of any youtube golfer.. I love effortless looking swings!
Love this vlog. Proper ballers in the day. Great to see Carter back in the uk glad his little one is doing well.
That was so enjoyable thank you and the Prestwick, I wish I had that opportunity, caddie and fore caddies !
Pure class Pete. You and Andy look money!!
What a great concept! This looks like so much fun. Awesome effort Finchie & Cart Dawg. Top notch content mates!👌👍
Never played golf in my life, but I gotta say, hickory golf seems to just be the superior way to play, it just looks class! Well played boys!
Best video ever. Peter, your first and last shots were legends.
Just finished the video. Absolutely brilliant stuff.
Such a fun video. You guys don’t take yourselves to seriously which is great. Enjoyed this much more than someone else who did the same challenge recently but seemed to hate it. 😉
Absolutely loved it, thanks folks. I played Old Prestwick as a leaving gift from my team at ‘the Gannet’ and it was a privilege 👍
Peter, really enjoyed this video. Best one yet and a real tribute to world famous golfing legends.
An amazing vlog Pete and Andy… still laughing at the first shot. … and Andy’s comment about all the green keepers fixing the divot 😂. Thank you for the best vlog of the year! And please stop trying to make bunkers on the tee boxes 😂
You and Calamity Carter did a great video!! Thanks again!
Badass video this. Such great banter too
You were like little lads running away from your misdeeds on that first tee! Hahaha!
Peter. Andy. This was incredible. The outfits, so close to Halloween, were the critical element. Brilliant stuff.
Terrific Video! Great spending time with you both. Pete- The1st tee has now been re- turfed!!!! Best Wishes David Fleming
Fantastic video had me smiling the whole way through, just goes to show how talented those players were back in the day
Class video! Well enjoyed that.
Great video, I'll definitely be making use of the next speed ramp that I encounter 😂😂
Love the video, seemed like it would have been a fantastic day out. Not gonna lie I'm a big fan of the vintage dress too.
That looks like so much fun. Love it.
Absolutely stunnin’ love the vid! 🥰💚
Awesome video! Pretty damn good playing in those conditions, suits and hickorys!
Pure class lads. Great video! Dream round
Absolutely proper lads giving the last putt to young Tom.
Loved it. Well done. 🏆
Most enjoyable KZread Golf Video of the year for me that. Superb content.
Cool vid guys really enjoyed this.
I laughed, I cried and throughly enjoyed the effort. Great content Andy and Peter.
Back when I was child, my parents had a closet full of wondrous things, including some very old hickory shafted golf clubs. I learned that a set could include a play club (driver), a brassie (3 wood?), a spoon (5 wood?), a baffie (7-wood?), a cleek (1-iron), a mashie (5 iron?), a mashie-niblick (7 iron?), a niblick (9 iron), a chipper or jigger (used for pitch and run shots) and a putting cleek. Sadly my parents disposed of them at some point, probably 50 years ago. If I still had them, I would definitely take them out and have a go with them. ;) As a child, I also learned that hickory shafts have a "whip" to them, and that you need to swing slowly, with a bit of pause at the top of the swing to achieve harmony with your club. Peter and Andy mastered that art extremely well, after a few errant shots. I enjoyed this video very much.
What a video boys!! Just great 😂
You and Andy at your best, glad to have Carter back. We missed this banter. 😂
This was great - you and Carter are fantastic. Legit lol's had. Club pro was great as well.
All class video! The ghost of YTM put a stop to that last putt!
